“What’s up today? You look angry so early in the morning. Did that woman give you grief again?”
I could not help myself from breaking my act the moment I heard Shannon worrying about me. I smiled and shook my head.
I had been pretending to be angry the entire journey.
The act required me to go all the way, and I did not want to give up halfway and be spotted by Delia.
“You!”
Shannon was even more puzzled when she saw me smiling so abruptly.
She walked up to me, her expression becoming more and more worried.
“Don’t tell me you’ve gone mad from your anger? Why is that woman so annoying?!”
Shannon was gritting her teeth from anger. She wished she could fight Delia right away.
“No, it’s nothing. I'm just a little happy." I quickly waved my hand.
My mood had been rather poor lately during this time.
It was all because of Delia.
However, I had ascertained the day before that Delia was orchestrating everything. At the same time, Theo and I talked about this matter.
It was like more than half of the burden that I was carrying had been lifted.
Not to mention how I managed to fool Delia this morning.
“Delia didn't make me angry this morning. Instead, I made her angry.”
I made up an excuse as to why I was so happy.
“Good job!”
Shannon applauded immediately.
“I’d say you should have done this a long time ago. She’s just a mistress yet still insists on swaggering in front of you. I think you’re too kind sometimes!”
