The Woman From Hell

My anger was not groundless. I really thought Theo was being too wary. He wronged Delia for no reason just because she looked like Cecilia and I felt for her.

The man looked at my stubborn self, and the firmness in his eyes gradually disappeared. Finally, he compromised. "Okay, let's just take it as I'm extremely vigilant and I doubt people too casually."

There was still a bit of anger in his tone. Theo glanced at me and then said nothing more before striding out.

I looked at his back. I wanted to stop him, but I could not manage a sound, so I followed him silently.

Back at the company, Shannon noticed that I was in a bad mood. After finishing the work on hand, she came over to me and asked, "What's the matter? Weren't you fine when you went out at noon? Why are you so depressed after coming back? Did you guys get into an argument?"

An argument...

I did not know if it counted as an argument.

Looking up at Shannon, I asked, "Would you be angry if Jordan doubted others and their intentions without reason?"

"That depends on the relationship between that person and me." Shannon held her chin and answered me seriously, "If it's just a colleague or someone I don't know well, I can just explain it to him. But if it's my friend, then I'd have quite an opinion!"

Hearing this, I seemed to resonate with it. "Yes, I think so too. So it is understandable for me to be angry."

"Why? Who did Theo suspect?"

"We went to a restaurant for lunch just now at noon, but there were no more private rooms. Then we met Delia and we dined together, but Theo actually doubted her and asked her why she was there. Delia then called her assistant in to explain the situation. It was a misunderstanding, but I think Theo's behavior makes one uncomfortable!"

I was still angry when I told Shannon about this incident.

Shannon pursed her lips. "Delia, eh? I think Theo's suspicion is founded. He just asked a question. I think you're the one who's overthinking it."

"You're speaking up for him?"

"I'm on reason's side. Think about it according to his thought process. Delia's company is more than six miles away from Grant Corporation. He asked such a question to resolve the doubts in his heart. What's wrong with it? Aren't you the one feeling too nervous on Delia's behalf?"

When she put it this way, what Shannon said makes sense.

It seemed that I was the one who was a little emotional.

Realizing that I had made a mistake, I lowered my eyes. No wonder Theo had not looked too good at the end.

"Wanda, I know Delia looks like

Shwhich surprises and

you,

you have to control

She's not Cecilia, after all."

I was stunned by Shannon's words. I looked up and met her gaze. "So, you also think I have special feelings for Delia?"

"Yes, very strong ones." Shannon nodded heavily.

Theo had also told me that at noon. Now that thought about it, I was treating Delia quite close because she looked like Cecilia. I did not even allow Theo to have any doubts about her.

"Wanda, do you understand now?"

Seeing that I did not say anything for a while, Shannon asked me.

I nodded. "Yes, I do.

"I'll make it clear to Theo when I go back tonight."

"That's good. How can you destroy your relationship because of a woman?"

Right, I should have a good chat with Theo tonight.
