The Woman From Hell

I was stunned when I heard this.

However, Shannon instantly noted my surprise at this moment.

"I can't not worry. That devil will still be in Whaldorf. She even dared do all this with you here. If you leave, she'll probably go too far!"

She said angrily and pushed me toward the boarding gate.

"Hurry up and go on with Marius. Forget about the rest. Absolutely nothing can go wrong with this shoot!"

Shannon was not done and continued, "Don't worry. The devil won't get the opportunity with me watching!"

I could not catch her proclamations at all and could only let her do as she wished.

Two hours later, Marius and I arrived at our destination soon.

However, I did not expect to run into another acquaintance when we were checking in at the hotel.

"Wanda?"

I did not even manage to say anything when Don greeted me. "Professor Logan?"

Facing this person appeared in front of me, I was a little surprised.

Why was Don here?

This was too much of a coincidence. We just met not long ago.

"What a coincidence. I'm here on business. I didn't expect to meet you."This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I smiled, nodding. I did not notice Marius staring at Don with scrutiny.

"It is quite the coincidence. Could you have come chasing after not being able to let go of the fact that we didn't get to know each other properly the last time? Let me state this in advance, then. I'm not interested in men." Marius suddenly came from the side and immediately stood in between me and Don.

These words elicited a none-too-pretty expression on Don's face.

"Professor Logan, don't mind him. He just likes joking around. He doesn't usually think before he speaks." I shoved Marius, who was standing beside me, lightly and gave him a look. This guy embarrassed Don in front of so many people.

It was a little too much, even as a joke.

I thought Marius would apologize to Don. I did not expect him to give me a hard look after noticing my gesture and going upstairs himself.

I smiled awkwardly. "I'm really sorry. President Klein's temper is just like that." I felt a little helpless and could only apologize to Don.

"It's alright. It's just that a joke like this isn't really suited for this kind of setting."

Don glanced at all the spectators around us.

I felt even more chastened. I did not understand what went wrong with Marius either that he had to cause trouble at this time.

"Let me treat you to a meal if you don't mind?"

Seeing the smile on Don's face and considering what happened just now, I could not refuse him. Thus, I accepted.

After I was done with my meal with Don, I only then realized that Marius probably had not eaten. I requested the hotel to prepare another for takeaway and immediately brought it back. I knocked on the door of Marius' room. I heard noise from the inside, but no one opened the door.

What was this brat being angry about?

"President Klein, I brought back dinner for you. Why don't you eat some first? Look, I still thought of you when I was out eating, so why don't you stop being angry for now, President Klein?"

I did not have to wait too long before Marius opened the door. He stood there and glanced at the food in my hand, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned...
