The Woman From Hell

Shannon was like a small firecracker. She looked like she wanted to fight Theo without even exchanging a word or two.

I hurriedly pulled her back. "This has nothing to do with Delia. The point is there are just some things that Theo and I are unable to reach an agreement on."

If I had not pulled her back, she probably would really have the guts to go looking for him directly.

"But the two of you are husband and wife. Even if you guys were to argue about something, it should not reach this point! Wouldn't it be the same as Theo chasing you out of the country with what he's doing?" Shannon looked pained as she kept on condemning Theo.

"Theo's not the one who drove me out. I was the one who left out of anger."

I truly felt a little guilty when I saw how angry Shannon was, so I quickly took this opportunity to speak up for Theo.

"The truth is I don't like Delia. I just left for some peace. You should be aware that neither I nor Theo can do anything to a pregnant woman."

Shannon pouted when she heard this. "This is so unfair. Why do I feel that Delia is using her pregnancy as a badge for avoiding death? You guys can't do anything to her!"

That was indeed the case.

So many things would not have happened at all if it were not for the child coming into existence.

Delia getting pregnant was too much of a coincidence that it was as if it had been premeditated as well.

Thinking of this, my hand abruptly tightened around the cup.

Could it be...

The child was also premeditated!

No, no, no. How could so many coincidences happen in this world?

I tried my best to suppress thoughts like these, but I was feeling more and more uneasy.

"Alright, stop talking so much. I came here this time to tell you something else. Do you still remember Ms. Zurich, our most difficult-to-deal-with client? She hasn't signed the partnership contract with Green Orange for this year."

Shannon immediately gripped her hair in a dispirited fashion when she heard me mention the name.

"Stop right there. I remember it all the moment you mention it. They requested up to five to six revisions for the ad of our last partnership. Forget everyone else, even I was almost driven mad by that Zurich person!"

Shannon gripped my hand with frustration. "Wanda, just what are you saying? Don't tell me you want to take the initiative to get in contact with that woman. That's not a good idea!"

It was not a good idea. It was essentially a huge, horrendous idea!

"Based on our usual practice, her

company should have come over to sign the partnership this year, yet we haven't heard anything from her so far. I heard from the company's sales department that there seems to be something wrong."

Green Orange was still in the development process, and all customers were precious. The most important thing was the company Ms. Zurich represented. They were indeed a big customer for us.

If we were to lose such a big customer all of a sudden, it would impact our company greatly. This included our reputation and more. Even more so, it would impact our old customers whom we cooperated with all year round.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"It just so happens that I don't feel

like staying here during this time. Coincidentally, Ms. Zurich has also returned to the country. So I'm. thinking of making a trip to Sea City to see if I can directly attain the partnership this time!"

If this was the case, we could also take it easy this year and not have to worry so much.

Shannon immediately nodded heavily after hearing what I had to say...
