Green Orange.
I had just arrived at the company when Shannon came toward me. "My dear friend Wanda, don't you think you owe me a proper explanation?"
"Haha, didn't I already invite you to watch the show at Grant Corporation yesterday? What is it that you're still unsure of? It was the repeat of the old trick and catching Nicky off guard. Pretty cool, right?" I snickered.
The entire situation was actually already very clear. I trusted Shannon could already guess the entire story.
However, I also knew that she wanted to denounce someone.
"It's a waste of me being your best friend. You're still keeping me in the dark and not telling me things. Were you worried I was going to reveal you?"
Shannon looked at me with hurt, her expression as aggrieved as she could make it out to be.
I was most worried about her becoming like this despite having already expected it.
"Theo and I were worried about this and didn't want too many people to know about it. Ty and Marius didn’t know about it either. Don't be sad. Good girl," I consoled her softly.
Shannon pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and sniffled. "So, the mysterious person you've been calling was Theo?"
"Yes. He's been giving me ideas secretly."
"You two are made for each other, all off in your own world far from everyone else."
"Oh enough, you're my best friend. It's not like I deliberately hid it from you. The main matter was just very serious that I had to hide it from you. You're so kind. I'm sure you understand me." I took her hand.
Shannon was not one to be unreasonable. "Forget it, forget it. This was a relatively huge issue. I understand why you didn't tell me anything. Now that the dust has settled, let's go."
"Yes. We have to deal with Nibel next."
"He's still not done?"
I opened my eyes. "Did you forget that he told me that he wants to go up against Theo?"
Hearing this, Shannon realized something. "Right. It's strange, though. He knew you and Theo were just pretending. Why did he still tell you that he wanted to work with you? Isn't it too contradictory?"
