The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1753

After last night's incident, Theo no longer dared to let his guard down. Not only did he send several bodyguards on the road for secret protection, but he even assigned bodyguards to be inside the company.

As I sat in my seat, I looked at the sight that was thrown at me from time to time. I felt that something was off.

Feeling a slight hesitation, I chose to go to the office to chat with Theo.

"It's very safe in the company. Truthfully, no bodyguards are needed here. Not only will I feel uncomfortable working under this condition, but they aren't truly doing the job at hand."

I looked at Theo, hoping he would listen to me.

After a long while, he responded slowly," I'm only worried about you."

It was a short sentence but it was filled with his concern.

"I know, but the company is really safe. How could those people be allowed to sneak in here, President Grant?"

I was being stubborn, and Theo knew my character well. He could only let things go my way after seeing me like this. “Alright. I get it."

After hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Once I returned to my department, it did not take long for those scorching gazes to disappear.

After calming down, I finally got back to work.

Due to the sudden incident with Queenie, the position of team leader was left vacant. In the past, the daily data was given to Nicky by Queenie. Now, I had to do it myself.

When I arrived at Nicky's office, I knocked on the door.

"Please come in.”

Her voice was not as energetic as before, and it sounded a little weak.

I pushed in the door and put the sorted data in front of her. “Here's today’s data, Director.”

She accidentally knocked her head on the shelf. She held the shelf with one hand and her head with the other. I hurriedly entered the door and lent her a hand. "Why are you still working in this state?"

I helped Nicky back to her seat and checked her injuries. A lot of blood had seeped through to the gauze, perhaps from the knock earlier.

"You didn’t change your dressing this morning." I assumed this when I saw that the white gauze was slightly yellowed.

Nicky merely smiled. 'There wasn't enough time. It's alright. It's a small matter.” 'How can it be a trivial matter? The doctor has said that you must change it frequently. Otherwise, it’s likely that the wound will get infected. What if it's inflamed?” There was a bit of blaming in my voice.

Perhaps feeling guilty from my words, Nicky did not speak. She merely hissed in pain a few times. It was obvious that her head was hurting a lot.

I could not bear to see her like this, so I made an abrupt decision. “Listen to me, you can't refuse me anymore. I’m taking you home with me. There's Caroline at home, and she can help you change your dressing and take care of you. After a few days, when you're almost better, I'll allow you to head back. You’re suffering now because of me. If I don't do this, I'll feel uneasy."

I had a stern look on my face, and there

was an irrefutable firmness in my tone.
