The Woman From Hell

“You’re working overtime tonight?” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Yes, I want to sort out these survey forms as soon as possible. What do you need

“Nothing. Do what you need to do then. I will go back first.” He hung up afterward,

Although feeling somewhat baffled, I did not want to dwell on it any longer. I went back to headquarters

with Heidi to sort out the questionnaire because we were the only two people who had just been

transferred back. We had to do everything ourselves.

After sorting out the questionnaire, it was already eight o’clock. Heidi kept looking a ther phone as if

she had something on.

Get these forms sorted out and get off work. I stretched and turned on my

computer

What about you? Do you have to work overtime?” Heidi looked at me.

“I will look through the information again.” Anyway, I have nothing to do when I go back. I want to

understand the online technology companies that Theo mentioned first.

“Okay. Do you need me to order dinner for you?” Heidi asked before she left.

No, thanks. I will go home soon.”

After Heidi left, I started reading the information online

So dedicated?” A familiar voice came from above. I looked up and saw it was Mason. I had been so

focused that I did not know when he came in.

The boss gave me a new job and I am confused. I want to study it first. Why are you here?” I asked,

pinching the bridge of

“I am here to do something. I heard that you are still working overtime I am here i o send some food

over.” He waved the bento box in his hand and placed it on the table.

I started, then said. Thank You.”

I thought that he would leave immediately after delivering the items. Unexpectedly, he sat down on the

chair in front of the desk and looked at me. “I heard that Theo wants you to be in charge of the new

product’s marketing and company acquisition at the same time?”

“Yes, the new product’s promotional activities are still alright. I do not understand this acquisition thing

at all, s o I am still learning about it.”

He nodded. “I heard that there are quite a few celebrities who are interested in this new product

endorsement deal. Their backers are trying to find Theo through various means. The competition in the

entertainment industry has always been bad. No matter who you choose in the end, the other

competitors might target this celebrity, Once anti-fans are attacking, the product endorsing will be

affected. You have to be careful.”

Why didn’t Theo tell me about this?

No wonder Zedd suggested for Sandy to continue as ambassador. He was probably asked by

someone to be a lobbyisi.

I frowned. I thought it would be an easy task, but it seemed it was not

“But you don’t have to worry too much. Since Theo gave it to you, he must have his plans and

considerations. Just do as you wish. You have to be careful about the acquisition though.”

“Theo knows that I have never been involved in the acquisition, so why would he still want me to do it?”

The company’s acquisition could cost tens or even hundreds of millions. The slightest. mistake would

shake the foundation of the Grant Corporation. I do not understand what he wants.

“You have Grandmother’s shares, and it i s not a small amount. If this acquisition case is successful,

you can logically join the board of directors and have a say in the company’s operations.”

“However,” he continued, “if you make a mistake, you might be kicked out of the Grant Corporation.”

This was Theo’s intention? Did he want m e to be promoted to the board of directors or to kick me out

directly?

“There’s still a lot of time. You should familiarize yourself with it first. If there i Sanything you don’t

understand, just ask. Do not think too much of it and get off work early. You are still pregnant, so you

need to rest more,” he said before getting up to leave

I nodded and looked over at him. “Thank you for taking care of me all this time.”

He smiled and leit

I was not in the mood to read the information anymore. I opened the box that Mason had sent me. It

had chicken soup and a few appetizers. As expected of a doctor, he knew very well what pregnant

women liked to eat.

After I finished my soup, I headed straight downstairs, ready to go home.

Underground parking lot. I was looking for my car. Heidi had parked it that morning. I wondered where

she parked it.

“Honk…” In the distance, a horn sounded.

Tonk.” In the distance, a horn sounded.

I saw Theo sitting in his car and was looking at me.
