The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 958

Before Elena could retort, I continued, "I think all mothers would've taught their daughter manners at a very young age. If one doesn't have manners, then I’m sure they don't have a mother either."

Those words hit Elena's sore point. She abruptly got u p from the sofa. "You’re saying I don't have a mother, Wanda Lane?"

I smiled slightly. "I was just saying, Ms. Mandez. Why did you assume that it’s you?"

After a pause, I continued, "Honestly, I recognize your professionalism and capability, but as for other aspects, I beg to differ. I believe in Theo's taste in women, and he probably agrees with me. If you're that confident, then I can only wish you success in taking my place."

Elena's expression was beyond sullen. If it were not because we were in the company, she would have struck me.

I looked at her with a smile. I had won this battle between us.

Elena knew that she could not win the argument and stopped pestering me. She turned around and stomped away angrily.

Theo came back from his meeting and brought me out for lunch.

He picked a French restaurant that was decorated in a vintage style. As soon as we walked in, it immediately felt like we had traveled back in time.

After ordering our meals, Theo looked at me and asked, "What are your plans for this afternoon?"

I shook my head. "That hasn’t crossed my mind yet."

Theo held my hand that was placed on the table and said apologetically, "I’m sorry I’ve been particularly busy these days. I don't have much time to keep you company."

I helplessly smiled. "Have I ever gotten mad at you because you’re busy at work?"

Theo smiled and said no more.

When the food was served, I thought it smelled really good and said, "This should be good."

"Have some more, then." Theo put a piece of meat on m y plate.

This restaurant's food was indeed tasty and I ate a lot o fit.
