The Woman From Hell

Time always flew by so quickly, and before I knew it, there was only one day left in a week.

Tomorrow would be my last day with Theo. I put on my face cream while looking at Theo who was lying down on the bed through the mirror. "Theo, let's take a day off tomorrow and go out shall we?"

Even though I was aware that it was a critical time at Grant Corporation, I really wanted to go out with Theo again.

Theo raised his head to look at me and answered me easily, "Alright."

I did not expect him to be so direct. I pursed my lips and nodded. "Alright."

The next day.

I had purposely dressed myself up and was very satisfied when I saw the trace of surprise in Theo's eyes. "Let's go."

We did not actually go very far and just went to several famous scenic spots in Whaldorf City.

Walking through the garden, we could smell the fragrance of the flowers from time to time, and it was relaxing.

"I wonder when will be the next time we can go out like this." I could not help sighing.

Theo turned his face to the side, his eyes tender. "Just wait until the matter is over. Trust me, it'll be soon."

The moment he said that, the things that Nibel had done appeared once again in my mind. When I thought of how that case abroad was determined to be suicide, I felt uneasy. Forget it, I should not be thinking about it.

I shook my head, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts. I focused on spending time with Theo.

"Would you like ice cream?" Theo asked me as he looked at the vendors beside him. "Sure."

Theo bought one for me. "Here."

I had not had one in a long time. I

a bite?"

In my memory, Theo did not seem to eat these kinds of things, so I did not expect him to agree. "Yes."

Bringing the ice cream over, Theo also took a bite and then shivered. Possibly due to the cold. "It's so cold," he said.

Seeing his amusing reaction, I covered my mouth and smiled. "I caught your cute side."

Theo swallowed the ice and was then solemn once more, "No, you're mistaken."

"Regardless, I saw it."

We continued walking while I held his hand. It did not seem like we were doing anything today, but I felt very happy.

A plain day like this was perhaps what I truly wanted.

Good times were always fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, the sky had turned dark. We went back home after having dinner outside. "Do you think Samuel is spying on us?"

"Probably," Theo replied.

Sitting down on the sofa, I exhaled. "I'll take the children and leave early tomorrow morning. I'll go live with my parents first for some time. I'll come to look for you when you're done with everything."

"Alright."

Theo sat down beside me and took me into his arms in a tight hug. He must also be reluctant to part with me.

Even if it was only for a short period of time, many things might change during it.

"Promise me, Theo. Even if you lose everything in the end, don't let me lose you. only want you to be safe. I could not help myself and felt my eyes becoming wet again. All I had to do what recall what Keith said

He caressed my head and whispered softly, "I'll take care of myself. No matter what happens then, you must come out. Trust me, I'll go look for you. Promise me." "Alright, I promise you. I'll wait for you to come to me." My tears gradually fell as I buried myself in his firm chest.

Theo had to stay safe. I trusted that he would be able to solve this situation.
