Chapter 276
Hesper was quite familiar with the places around the office because they would order food delivery when they had to work overtime. She knew which shop Matthew would enjoy, so she brought him there.
“Our stats are higher than the Duvals for this season, but I don’t really understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.”
Matthew was the one managing the company recently. Hesper looked at the numbers and didn’t really understand the Duvals’ plan, so she looked at Matthew intently.
“These few days… We should eat well.”
Matthew flicked her forehead. “There’s nothing in there other than work.”
“Ouch.” Hesper rubbed her forehead. “I’m working hard for the company yet you flicked my head. You’re paying for lunch.”
Matthew chuckled as Hesper looked up, and they both started laughing.
“Where did you go this morning? You looked concerned when you got home yesterday. Is it about Rickard?”
Hesper thought about it, then said, “Somewhat, but not really. Juniper’s mother wanted to see me and asked to work with me.”
“Work with you?”
Matthew thought that the name Juniper sounded familiar, then he frowned. “How?”
“She wants to help me. She’ll tell me as much as possible about whatever Juniper plans in the future.” Hesper raised her brows. “But the catch is that if Juniper does something terrible and I get to decide her fate, I’ll have to spare her life. I accepted.”
