Chapter 612
The Woman From Hell
I shook my head, "I'll pass. I'll have a good rest in the hotel. I might return to Salt City tomorrow."
"You have things to do?" he asked, his voice low.
"No.â
My initial plan of coming to France was to visit him. I came to see him on a whim, and now that I
had seen him and even caught up on sleep, there was nothing left for me to do. Hence, I planned to
go back home.
He held me in his arms and sighed. "Donât go places alone next time. This shouldnât happen again,
okay?"
I nodded and looked up at him. "When are you flying back?"
"After signing the contract tonight."
I nodded, my head feeling a little heavy. However, I was unsure what was going on. Sensing that
something was wrong with my expression, Theo frowned. "What's wrong?"
I leaned on the bed and closed my eyes, saying, "Iâm a little sleepy. I'll lie here for a while."
He was in a rush to go to the company to sign a contract, so he left after saying a few comforting
words. I lay on the bed for a moment.
When the phone rang, I was a little sleepy but was awoken by the sound.
After picking up the phone, I realized that it was Liz, the lady I met at the airport.
"Hey, Wanda. It's Liz. Do you still remember me?"
I nodded, only to realize that she could not see my action and paused for a moment before saying,
"Hello, Liz!"
"Are you free now? Can I invite you out for dinner? I don't have friends here and my fiance is busy.
I've been alone the whole day and I'm bored!â
I looked out the window and it was already dark. The clock on the wall pointed to seven at night.
If I slept now, I might not be able to sleep through the night and would likely wake up in the middle
of the night.
I thought about it and said, "Mm, okay. I'm at Amaway Hotel, what about you?"
After I agreed, she said happily, "I'm really close to you. I'll go over to your place later and call you
once Iâm downstairs at the hotel."
I nodded and said okay, then we talked for a while more before hanging up the phone.
I got up to go to the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower, I remembered that I hadnât
brought a change of clothes. I grabbed my phone and gave Theo a call. "Are you busy now?" "A
little.â It sounded a little noisy over at his side." Why did you call me?â
Afraid that I would interrupt him at work, I said, "You g o ahead and do your work. We'll talk when
you're done."
I was just about to hang up when he said, "You can tell me now."
I hesitated to speak, then said, "Can you send me a change of clothes? A friend is asking me out.â
"A friend?"
