The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1194

"Don't take it off anymore," Theo said in a commanding tone.

I nodded with a smile. "Okay."

Theo's gaze deepened, and he lowered his head to seal my lips.

Now that the project was suspended, I was idle. However, I felt irritable during the day, and so did Lally.

Before Shannon was discharged from the hospital, Lally and I had gone to visit her several times. When we spoke about the project, she could tell that we were worried. Hence, she took Lally and me for a meal the day she got discharged.

"Whether Grant Corporations intends to carry on with the project is entirely up to them. There’s no use getting anxious about it. Why not eat something delicious and go out and have some fun since you have nothing to do?"

Shannon kept persuading us in the car.

Cally had been looking weary lately, and even her daily makeup was not as delicate as it used to be. It seemed like she had been having trouble sleeping at night.

On the contrary, I was fine. Although Theo was snowed under with work, he would come home every night and make me sleep on the dot. If I did not feel like sleeping or could not fall asleep, he would eventually wear me out and I would fall asleep.

Aware that the unseemly images had come to mind, I blushed a little.

"I don’t want to be anxious either, but the longer this project is on hold, the more losses the company will suffer. If the worst outcome is that Fredericks Corporations give up on this project, I’ll go bankrupt." Cally wanted to cry.

At this point, Fredericks Corporations had lost a lot of money. Aside from the site contractors’ fees, the workers’ monthly wages had to be paid as usual despite there being no progress. It was simply equivalent to giving away free money.

If the project proceeded, Cally could pay less compensation once she obtained a sizable share from the project. If the project was terminated, then she was certainly not exaggerating when she said that she would go bankrupt.

She was a single mother with elderly parents and children to take care of. The family's burden had fallen on her shoulders. One could only imagine how pressured she felt.

"The losses that Fredericks Corporations will suffer is a problem for Mr. Fredericks t o worry about. Don't start panicking with him now. I can also make up for the remaining of your compensation fee. It's no big deal. Stop thinking about these things right now and let's go have something good to eat. Let's make today a happy day," Shannon said with a smile.
