"Miss Woods..." I wanted to say something else, but I suddenly felt like there was no need to. Hence, all I said was, "Fine, I’ll think about it. You can go ahead and do what you have to, Miss Woods. I'd like to be left alone for a while."
Miss Woods knew she could not continue with the conversation, so she sighed and left.
I took the remote control from the table and turned on the TV. I did not know what to watch, so I just switched to a channel showing an entertainment program.
However, no matter how funny the program was, it could not make me laugh. I reckoned my mood could not get any worse.
I tried to watch for another couple of minutes when I realized I could not continue anymore. I was really frustrated, so I got up and walked toward the door of the villa.
Whaldorf always seemed to make one feel sad and lonely when it was winter. There was no snow on the ground, no green leaves on the trees, the skies were always gloomy, and the whole world felt really lifeless.
"Wanda Lane!” A male voice roared, snapping me back
to reality.
I watched the man stride toward me, and there were n o longer flames of anger in my heart. I was oddly calm. Perhaps I just felt like nothing really mattered anymore.
"You're just going to stand here in your pajamas? Are you nuts?" Theo lectured me as he quickly carried me into the villa.
I raised my eyes to see his darkening face. I scoffed. "I f I weren't nuts, would I have followed you hack?"
"You!" Theo became more enraged after hearing what I said.
He carried me back to our room and tossed me roughly on the bed. Then, he yanked the blanket that was cast aside and wrapped me tightly with it." Wanda Lane, do you hate me so much? Are you trying t o get me not to touch you anymore through selfharm?"
"I don't want to fight with you." I closed my eyes wearily.
I had not eaten anything since I woke up, so I really could not muster the energy to fight with him.
