"Are Theo and Wanda in there?"
Nicky's shrill voice came from outside. It was particularly ear-grating.
She quickly opened the door after she said that.
Theo was leaning toward me to catch the scent on me. This scene looked extremely ambiguous.
Unsurprisingly, Nicky rushed forward aggressively to separate us. She stood in front of Theo and protected him behind her as if he was some rare treasure that she and no one else could lay their hands on.
She turned to glare at me, her eyes filled with resentment. She put her hands on her hips, looking as if she was not going to let me go. "Wanda, can you be more careful? Theo has already divorced you. Why are you still getting involved with him?"
Me getting involved with him?
I laughed at what she said and shook my head helplessly. "I came to Nectarine Entertainment to check on some information. I didn't know he would be here at all. It's a coincidence that I bumped into him here."
Nicky obviously did not buy it. She smiled coldly. "I don't believe you. You must have heard from some source that Theo would be here today, so you came here."
"You're the one with that mouth, so you can say whatever you want. I've already explained myself. You can choose to believe me or not."
I did not need to stay here any longer since I could not find any information about Heather.
I turned around to leave, but Nicky stopped me again. "Wait, I don't think this is right."
Her tone changed. There was some cleverness in it that made me even more uneasy. She came in front of me with a sashay and looked at me. "You left Nectarine Entertainment a long time ago. Why did you suddenly come here today to check some information? What information?"
She was sharp!
My heart was beating so fast, and I could not think of what to say to her.
"Miss Lane told me just now that she has an artist that she likes. So, she came to look them up," Theo responded on my behalf.
I was still very nervous. Was he actually going to tell Nicky everything as is?
Nicky's gaze turned to Theo before landing on me. "Oh yeah? Which artist?"
