The Woman From Hell

I fell into a deep sleep. While I was still groggy and in a daze, I could feel Theo hugging me while giving me a few kisses on my forehead.

When I woke up, there was no one beside me in bed. I looked at the time and realized I had slept for several hours.

I got up and walked out the door. Theo was in the study. He seemed to be on the phone, so I did not disturb him and went downstairs.

Miss Woods was cleaning up when she saw me coming downstairs. She immediately rushed into the kitchen to bring out the meal she had saved for me.

I was a little hungry, so I ate a small plate of pasta with a lot of vegetables in one sitting. I even finished a bowl of soup.

There was thunder and lightning outside, accompanied by the sound of rain when the doorbell suddenly rang. I was a bit surprised because who would come over during such heavy rain?

Miss Woods was busy in the kitchen and did not hear the doorbell, so I got up and opened the door myself.

It turned out to be Nadia, who held an umbrella as she stood at the door with a smile on her face.

She was a really vibrant and pretty girl. She was young, and her face was full of collagen.

In addition to that, she had a good figure, an outstanding aura, and dressed very well. She was dressed in a white maxi dress and a formal blazer. She looked demure with an elegant air to her and slight naughtiness. She looked both youthful and mature. She was very charming.

When she saw me, she was slightly stunned but quickly put on a smile. "Hello there, Mrs. Grant. I'm here to deliver some documents to President Grant."

After she said that, she passed the documents to me and looked behind me. I heard footsteps coming from the stairs and assumed it was Theo coming down.

"Come in." I stood to the side and let her in.

It was raining and thundering outside. The whole sky was gray. I could not help but wonder why Theo would get her to deliver the documents when it was unsafe for her to drive over in this weather.

"President Grant, these are the documents you asked for." Nadia came forward with the documents. She had a sweet smile on her face.

Theo furrowed his brows and looked a little unhappy." Why did you come? Where’s Keith?”

Nadia was stunned, and her eyes darkened for a moment before she smiled again. "Secretary Lang had a family emergency, so I came instead."

Miss Woods placed a glass of water on the table and said to Theo, "Young Master, Young Mistress doesn't have much of an appetite so she didn't eat much just now. She likes it when you make her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Why don't you make one for her later?"

Theo and I both froze as we looked at each other at the same time.

'I didn’t have much of an appetite? Did I not have a lot of pasta just now?' I was slightly confused.

Theo was calm. He nodded and said okay.

The look on Nadia's face changed. After she looked at Theo, she got up, and bid farewell. Theo then brought the documents upstairs.

I looked at Miss Woods and whispered, "When did I ask for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?"

Miss Woods came over and looked at me furiously. " Are you blind or something? Didn't you see how that woman looked at your husband? Why didn't you do anything?"

I suddenly realized what Miss Woods meant.

I could not help but laugh and say, "Miss Woods, it's not that big of a deal. She’s Theo's secretary and she's here for work. It's nothing."

Miss Woods was not convinced and insisted, "I’ve always been able to tell these kinds of things. I’m very sure that she’s interested in Young Master. Let me tell you, you have to be on your guard. When you’re free, you should go to the office and take a walk around the place. It wasn't an easy task getting rid of Miss Reed, s o don't let someone else take advantage of the situation."

I laughed and did not say anything. Although Miss Woods meant well, I felt that she was overthinking it. After three years, I understood Theo. Although he was not devoted, he was never a player.

After all these years, there was no other woman around him apart from Cindy.

After Miss Woods saw how unbothered I was, she did not say anything else. She turned to leave and went back to her bedroom.

After sleeping the entire afternoon, my entire body felt a little sore. Since it was raining, I could not go out for a walk, so I could only walk along the corridor surrounding the garden. Fortunately, Theo connected the back corridor to the garden previously, so it was like a small area that I could go for a stroll.

When I came back, there was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the dining table.

I could not help but stare at it. When I turned around, I saw Theo sitting on the sofa, intently reading a book.

'Miss Woods went back into her room long ago, so did he make the peanut butter and jelly sandwich?’

I initially thought it was just a casual remark from Miss Woods and he was just responding to her. I did

not expect that he would actually make it for me.

When he saw that I had come back, he looked at me with a smile and said, "Try it and tell me if you like it."
