The Woman From Hell

Chapter 20
I did not say anything. Cecilia did not know about the baby yet.
“When are we leaving? I will need to hand over the shop to someone else first.” She had waited a long time for this day, and now
she was full of anticipation.
“Soon. When I am done with what I need to do the three of us will leave for a brand new city together and start over.” Since I had
already made up my mind, I did not want to delay any
longer. The sooner we settled this, the better.
“Three of us?” Cecelia glanced at my belly. She then took the iced milk tea from my hands and replaced it with a cup of hot
water. It is okay. I am here.
The three of us will be happy.”
She had always understood me so well and always so accommodating to me. I thought this must be the true meaning o f having
a best friend!
After coming out of Cecilia’s place, I felt completely relieved. Once I had made the decision, I felt much better in my heart.
I took out my phone and called Mason. This time, it only rang once before the call got through
“Wandaly He called my name in surprise.
“Do you have time tonight? I want to treat you to dinner.”
He seemed surprised. “Okay,” he said after a pause. “Time and place?”
“I will send it to you!” I hung up and sent the time and place to Mason.
It was still early, so I went to the office first to settle some work backlogs first. When I looked at the time, it was already four in the
afternoon.
I turned to Heidi and said, “Help me get the divorce papers that the President’s assistant Keith sent over previously.”
Back then, when Keith sent the papers a s per Theo’s order, I was furious and had asked Heidi to put it away.

Heidi was stufined. She looked at me and said, “Wanda, you?” The dispute between the Grant family and I had always been
apparent. She was silent for a while before saying,” Wanda, are you agreeing to the divorce? Have you forgotten your promise to
Grandmother? Besides, the shares that are rightfully yours can only be transferred to you after five years.”
Before Grandmother passed away, she
allocated a portion of the company’: shares to me. However, the prerequisit was that I had to be with Theo for fivi years before
the shares could be transferred to me. Thinking about it she was probably afraid that I would not be able to hold on to my words
and planned to leave
Although I knew Heidi was saying thi: for my own good, I could not explain it o her. I just said, “I have my own plans You just
need to go get the papers.”
Heidi was reluctant. In the end, she did not say anything and took out the papers. However, she still spoke in reluctance,
“Wanda, it is just anothe two more years. Now is not the best time to do this. You should hold on for i while longer...”
I did not say anything. I put the folde into my bag, waved at Heidi, and stepped into the elevator.
She wanted to continue persuading met o change my mind, but the elevator doors had closed on her.
After leaving the company, I went to the place where I had arranged to meet Mason.
This was a high-end restaurant with a warm ambiance. It was very suitable for people like Mason.
I went straight to the table that I had reserved beforehand. Unexpectedly, Mason had already arrived. He was dressed in black,
which accentuated his well-defined facial features. His look attracted attention from the people around him.
Sorry that I am late.” Embarrassed, I quickly pulled out a chair and sat down.
He raised his eyebrows and gave a rare smile. “I arrived early.”
When the waitress came to take our order, I pushed the menu toward him and smiled. “You are especially gentle when you
smile. You should smile more. Do not keep a straight face all the time.”
As Theo’s good friend, Mason was just like Theo and always had a cold expression as if trying to distance himself from everyone

He reached over and pushed the menu back toward me, his smile widening, “I am not a playboy. Why would I be smiling at
anyone?”
Who knew he had humor in him. I could not help but giggle.
I ordered a few dishes that I thought he would enjoy.
He did not say anything else and just looked at me with a smile.
A little embarrassed, I cleared my throat. “Am I funny to you?”
He looked away and chuckled. ” Actually, you are the one who should be smiling more. You usually looked too depressed. It puts
the men off.”
I was stunned. No wonder Theo hated t
o see me.
