When I exited the elevator, Matthew froze. Immediately after, he reverted to his usual self and smiled. He exchanged a few words with the woman and sent her to the elevator without introducing her to me.
I couldn’t help but take a second look at the woman. She seemed elegant, intellectual, and full of dignity. Our eyes met, and the woman grinned at me as the elevator doors closed.
“Who was that?” I asked.
“A client,” Matthew simply answered, then held shoulders. “Where’d you go?”
It seemed he still cared about my whereabouts. His question revealed that he knew I was out. I smiled. and glanced at him mischievously. “I won’t tell you.”
On the other hand, Johnson didn’t return to the company building until it was time to get off work. The
following day, he secretly passed me the information I asked for. The look on his face was indescribable.
“Chlo I… Please don’t make things too difficult for me. I…”
I knew what he wanted to say. He feared I would report his misdeeds and Matthew would know about his
betrayal.
“That depends on what you do. You can go now,” I said, not promising anything.
Suddenly, I thought of the woman from yesterday and quickly called Johnson back. “Help me ask about
the woman who came to look for Matthew before he got off work yesterday. I want her name and phone
number.”
Upon hearing that request, Johnson turned and left helplessly.
I was racing against time to find out the truth. Meanwhile, that woman wasn’t sitting idle either. When I
ignored her texts, she continued messaging me on WhatsApp to harass me.
It seemed Matthew was starting to suspect something, too. Maybe the woman had told him something for him to start paying more attention to me. I was confident Johnson wouldn’t say anything.
When Matthew returned that afternoon, he asked Johnson and me to visit his office. Matthew gave us
some clients‘ information and told me to study them before giving my opinions.
