Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2479
Meet that Della? Malcolm whipped around to fix him with an incredulous stare, waiting for what Matthew had to say next.
“She asked for you specifically. And don’t try anything,” his brother warned him.
“Try anything”? He wasn’t as cruel as his merciless little brother who would do anything and everything in order to achieve his goals.
“Is it about the partnership?” Malcolm asked.
There was no other reason why Matthew would allow him to go meet Della.
“Yes. As long as you get her to agree to cooperate with us, our company will expand by miles and miles. So you absolutely have to get her on board, alright?” Matthew suddenly softened, clutching Malcolm’s arm tightly as he pleaded.
So he does care about the company’s future! This newfound revelation comforted Malcolm somewhat.
Later, the three of them gathered at a fancy Western restaurant.
“Ms. Duff, this is my elder brother and the owner of our company,” Matthew politely introduced them to each other over the dinner table.
She slowly lifted her head to stare at Malcolm, nodding silently in acknowledgment.
“Hello, Ms. Duff.” Malcolm reached his right hand out.
“Hello,” she replied, shaking his hand.
At least she has manners. He faintly smiled as he glanced over the woman in front of him. Beside him, Matthew’s mouth fell open. He had never once seen Della smile since the first time he met her.
It seemed there was much more to their relationship than it appeared on the surface.
“Right. Mr. Matthew, I need to have this conversation with Malcolm alone, so I’d appreciate it if you left us for a while,” Della said, turning her attention to him.
Is she chasing me away? What the hell! I’d been the one who set up this meeting between them!
