I figured I was strong enough to handle whatever the news was, that I would be able to take it no matter how bad it was. She could just tell me what she found.
Heidi looked at me and said after a very long time, "M r. Grant is calling you again, Miss Wanda. Do you want to pick it up first? He seems pretty worried about you."
I looked down at my phone screen and the name 'Theo Grant' entered my vision, which made me even more irritable.
He must be hopping mad now because I had not replied to any of the texts he sent me earlier nor returned his calls after many missed calls. I was certain that an argument would break out if I picked u p the call at this moment.
I did not have the time or energy to argue with him, so I mercilessly rejected his call.
"Do you stay very far away from here?" I looked up at Heidi.
"Quite far." Heidi leaned back in her seat. "I'm going back to my house to celebrate New Year’s and will leave in a few days. The Schumans are holding a family banquet in the next few days, so you need to return to Whaldorf City before then. Therefore, you need to quickly finish up your affairs over here. I’ll drive you to a place tomorrow and you can decide your next course of action."
I nodded.
Later, Heidi sent me to Regal Villa. This place had been vacant for a very long time with only two servants cleaning the place all year round.
When the servants saw me, they quickly entered the bedroom to clean it.
When they were done cleaning, I planned to go back to my room to take a shower and get some rest. Heidi would come very early the next morning to pick me u P-
After coming out of the bathroom, I picked up my phone and Theo happened to be calling me.
I hesitated for a few seconds before answering it.
"Where are you, Wanda?” It was Zedd’s voice.
I pursed my lips. "What's wrong?"
"Come to The Imperial and take Theo home. He has had too much to drink."
