The Woman From Hell

Nibel stood at the door with his hands in his pockets as he smiled at me brightly.

Theo got up and stood beside me when he saw him. "Why is he here?"

"He said he would come before this but only just arrived. He said he has something to discuss with you," I replied to him softly.

Nibel approached us quietly, a natural and harmless smile upon his exquisite features. "I'm late."

I nodded and smiled. "Yes, your former partner has already been taken away."

Hearing this, the smile on Nibel's lips deepened before he looked toward Theo. "President Grant, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time." He extended his hand to express his friendliness. Theo looked at me, and I nodded at him. Only then did he reach out to grip Nibel's outstretched hand. "You're the one who's of renowned repute, Mr. Nibel. I didn't expect you to be so good at Hattonese." "I'd naturally have to be able to speak the language well if I want to develop in Hatton," Nibel implied.

I smiled. "I have to thank you for your help this time, Mr. Nibel."

"You're welcome. I only did it out of self-interest. I thought it'd be much easier to discuss cooperation with you once I helped Miss Wanda."

Nibel wanted to work with Theo?

I frowned. Just what was his plan?

Theo was still as calm as ever. He just smiled. "You have plenty of investment projects under your belt, Mr. Nibel. Of course, I'm willing to partner up with you. I don't know what your project is, however?"

Nibel glanced at me first before saying, "I want to participate in the development of Grant Corporation's new skincare line. Are you willing to allow that, President Grant?"

"As far as I know, you've never invested in this industry, Mr. Nibel. I do wonder what your thoughts are to have approached me to discuss this time."

"My reason is simple. Naturally, it's because Grant Corporation has the qualifications and potential. I'm optimistic about this new line of skin care products and thus would like to be involved. Though, I wonder if you would allow me to indulge that, President Grant." I had to admit that Nibel had quite the predictive ability.

It had been the right decision for him

to ask me to give up on Astral

Garden and take North Courts instead at the start. Did Nibel really want to work with Theo or was he trying to achieve a certain goal

through this partnership?

I looked at Theo. His handsome features were furrowed. He looked to be thinking about Nibel's approach.

He made his decision after some time. "I accept. But as per the process, you'll have to give me your business plan first, Mr. Nibel."

"Alright. As long as you agree to a partnership with me, President Grant, anything goes. Now that the matters regarding Nicky and the Yards have been settled, it seems that you and Miss Wanda can once again drift off to your married lives. I'meet with you again next time with the business plan, President Grant."

Nibel did not say anything extra either. He turned around and left after that.

I watched his back, doubtful.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Shannon did not seem to understand it either. "What did he mean by that?"

"I don't get it either."

"It's fine. Since he wants a partnership, a partnership he'll be given. I don't care."

This came from Theo's self-confidence.

I looked at him. "Are you so confident, President Grant?"

"I'm confident in you." Theo looked at me with a smile on his features.

To the side, Shannon said, "It'd be useless for me to berate you two can't believe it was another act

thought you two really got a divorce."

"We did. That wasn't fake. We just weren't arguing." I lowered my head and smiled lightly. Theo looked at me. "Why don't we find the time to go and get our marriage reinstated, then?"
