The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 203

"Since the decision has been made, it's just a matter of time. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so it's to be expected. At the moment, we're not looking to move the entire headquarters yet. I just want to go and familiarize myself with the environment at the new branch. Zedd and the rest will still stay here in the headquarters."

I nodded and did not say anything else. After all, I did not know much about the company and he must have his own considerations for doing so.

Since I had stayed in Salt City for many years, it seemed like a good idea to move to another city and check out a new place too.

For the next few days, I stayed at the villa and did not go out. Theo did not go to the office as well because he was still recovering from his injuries. In addition to his work, he spent every day at home with me.

The days passed by peacefully.

Early this morning, Theo had to go to the office for something. Since I had been staying home for a long time, I was bored and decided to drive around the city alone.

Since Cecilia was not around, I had no one to shop

with me. I had no choice but to pass time by window shopping.

However, I did not expect that I would run into Xander at the mall.

Although he was trying to hide his identity by wearing a cap and sunglasses, I was able to recognize him right away. He had a woman with him and when I took a closer look, it was the same woman who left after getting pissed last time.

Unlike the last time, the two of them were talking and laughing today. They looked quite intimate and they seemed to get along well. I was in awe that a big star like Xander actually dared to wander around the city like this without fear of getting caught by the paparazzi.

Probably because I was staring for too long, Xander eventually noticed me. At first, he was stunned, but after, he smiled happily. He shook off the woman and walked toward me. "When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me? Are you here alone? Are you here to shop or just to grab a bite?”

I held onto my forehead and wondered which question among the series of questions I should answer first.

The woman followed behind him and looked at me warily. I put on a smile. "I'm here to get some things. What a coincidence!" "Isn’t it? I called you some time ago but my calls never got through. After that, I found out that you were traveling and weren't in Salt City. Since it’s noon, let's have lunch together."

After Xander said that, he pulled me by the hand and walked forward. When I noticed that the woman beside him had linked his other arm, I could obviously tell what she meant. Hence, I pulled my hand back and said, "Go ahead, I've just eaten."

I was not that bored that I would go and be their third wheel.
