I returned to the company. My desk was stacked with documents, so I could only work hard.
For some reason, however, I could not concentrate.
"Wanda? Wanda?"
There was a hand waving in front of me. I returned to my senses and looked over.
Shannon was frowning, her face filled with worry as she called out to me anxiously.
I smiled and hurriedly replied, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that I had regained my composure, Shannon sat down in the seat in front of me, the corners of her mouth turned down. She snatched the document out of my hand. “Wanda, you should stop whatever you’re doing. I notice that your mind keeps running. What's the matter? Did something happen again?”
The smile on my face dropped. I was filled with worry at Shannon’s question. Eyes filled with doubts, I tilted my head and muttered to myself.
"I think… Marius has been acting a little strange. I was at Hyperspace today, and he told me that he would take me away from here."
My faint voice reached Shannon's ears, and her eyes immediately sparkled as she smiled brightly. “Didn’t I say that Marius is definitely interested in you? I told you this before, but you didn’t believe me.”
I was stunned. I then recalled what Shannon said to me before and was stunned again. I did not answer.
Shannon, who was now excited, asked, “Did Marius say something?”
Stupefied, I unconsciously answered.
“Marius just asked me to divorce Theo. He told me that he was willing to take me away from this troublesome place.”
Shannon heard my answer, and her expression was serious.
"Theo isn’t a good guy, Wanda. I think you should listen to Marius and divorce that scum. Then leave this troublesome place so you don't have to suffer so much."
When I heard what Shannon said, I could only lower my head and say nothing.
I had a lot of work left since I kept getting distracted during the day. I could only bring them back home with me and work overtime.
I was only done with work come dawn. I opened the door, wanting to go down and get some water.
A familiar voice sounded in my ears. My brows were raised, and my heart was in a fluster as my eyes widened. I strode toward the children’s room.
