StarNovelChapter 105 I pursed my lips and looked up to meet his eyes. I felt wronged. "Don't you believe me?" He seemed to like my love confession. The corners of his lips rose and he did not answer me. He just lightly kissed my forehead before saying softly, "It's getting late. You shouldn't stay up so late. Go to sleep." When I saw him like this, I stopped myself from telling him about Tyler. It had been a hard task to ease the atmosphere between us and I did not want to mess it up again. Hence, I decided to talk about it with him next time.
After a long day, I was very sleepy and fell asleep soon after.
The next day, I overslept. I rarely did that and when I picked up the phone to look at it, it seemed that I had muted it. Heidi had calledseveral times.
I called her back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHeidi's anxious and tense voice sounded. "Wanda, I have bad news. Something bad's going to happen." "What's going to happen?" My heart tightened, and my first thought was that Tyler must have clooking for me.
"Xander is going to hold a press conference today. He said that he wants to explain the photos taken in the South Sea. All the major entertainment news outlets and netizens are waiting. They're all waiting to see who the scandalous actress is. It feels like the whole entertainment industry has blown up. Do you think that he'll rat you out?" When I heard what it was, I felt relieved. Xander had already calledlast night to tellabout it, so I said, "It's okay, I'm sure he's just taking care of the matter." Lately, I had been going crazy because of Tyler.
"I'm not going to the office today, so if you need anything, just call me." Since the news was still trending, I did not feel like going to the office and being the target of people's gossip.
"Okay. Wanda, are you... and President Grant okay?" Heidi asked cautiously. The news had probably made the whole company worried about Theo's mood.
"Yeah, we're doing pretty well. You should go back to work." I hung up the phone after I said that and felt a little annoyed.
Before I put the phone down, it rang again. When I picked it up, I saw that it was Cecilia who was calling me. "Wanda, I saw the trending news. Do you think Tyler will see it? Do you think he'll cand look for you because of it?" Cecilia's voice was so nervous that it trembled. She did not sound like her usual carefree self.
I knew how scared Cecila was of Tyler and it was the sfor me. Even so, I reassured her. "Don't worry. Just stay hfor the next few days and don't go out. I'll take care of it as soon as possible." To be honest, I had no idea how I was going to handle i 1.1 did not even have the chance to mention it to Theo yet.
I knew I had to beg for Theo's protection before Tyler arrived.
When I saw that it was almost noon, I sent a message to Theo, asking him to meetfor lunch. He replied soon after with four simple words: [See you at noon.] I got up, washed up, and went downstairs. Miss Woods brought out a bowl of chicken soup for me. She looked atand asked, "Have you guys made up?" I nodded. Although the process was a little difficult to talk about, it was all okay thanks to Miss Woods' help. "That's how it should be. A husband and wife should end their quarrel in bed. A woman must learn how to be coquettish, admit defeat, and play to his pity. Men eat this up. You used to be too rigid, so that's why you always had to suffer. That's why Miss Reed always beat you, but you can't tolerate it anymore, can you? You should fight for the sake of the children.
Understand?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI knew Miss Woods was doing this all for me, so I nodded obediently and said, "Thank you, Miss Woods. By the way, you don't have to cook lunch for TheDandy wil us will be eating out." "Good, good. Silly girl, you're finally getting the hang of it. If you had figured it out earlier, Old Madam Grant wouldn't have been so worried about you." Miss Woods laughed with relief. I smiled and did not say anything. To be honest, I had not changed at all. It was only Theo who had changed.
After breakfast, I cleaned up and was about to head out to wait for Theo at his office.
The moment I walked out of the door, I bumped into someone surprising. It a was Petra. She was in a long black dress that she had designed herself. She had styled her long hair into waves. Even though she was almost 50 years old, she looked like she was only in her 30s. It was not weird to see Petra, but it was a surprise to see her in front of my house. Theo had always kept a low profile. No one ever cover except for Mason and the gang.
After a moment of hesitation, I put on a professional smile and walked over to her. I said, "I didn't know you were coming over, Petra. Sorry about meeting so awkwardly."
"I'm sorry for the sudden visit, Mrs. Grant. I hope you're okay with it." When she saw me, Petra smiled affectionately as if she was my mother who had not seenfor years. However, this was only my second tmeeting her. X
