"What do I have to do? For you to grant me this request?"
Forced to meet the high, inscrutable eyes, Lauren's heart felt a little uneasy, and she stiffened her head and asked Matthew.
"Will you really promise me anything?"
The smile on Matthew's face grew larger and larger, causing the unease in Lauren's heart to grow stronger and stronger.
"Are you ...... planning something again?"
Lauren raised her phoenix eyes, filled with suspicion.
"Is it true that you promise everything?"
The smile under Matthew's eyes became more and more obvious. An interesting plan quickly formed in the mind.
"As long as you let Emily live in the mansion. I'll grant you anything you want."
After taking a few deep breaths, Lauren said these words. After all, what Emily did to herself at first made Lauren very moved.
"You're going to move into my room and stay with me."
Matthew let go of his hand and stated his conditions.
"Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me one thing, you are not allowed to touch me."
Lauren, not to be outdone, made her offer
'Ha. Ha. Ha.'
Matthew laughed out loud, a sarcastic smile raised on his face.
"Lauren, you are the one who is negotiating with me now, do you think that with your current status, you have the capital to negotiate with me on terms? What a joke, if it wasn't for the fact that you were once my woman and now have my Matthew's child in your belly, do you think I would give you such an opportunity?"
The undisguised contempt on Matthew's face hurt Lauren deeply. Lauren lowered her head and forced herself to swallow back the tears she was about to control.
"Okay, I promise you what you want, as long as you let Emily live in the mansion. I'll grant you anything you want."
Matthew nodded, a satisfied smile on his face.
"I'll send someone to clean up your room right away, then have someone take your stuff, move it to my room, and let Emily stay at your place."
Lauren nodded. Turned and walked out of Matthew's study.
Matthew was deep in thought as he watched Lauren's departing back. He really wasn't sure if he had made the right decision in agreeing to Emily living in the mansion.
Emily's errands were quick and she moved to the mansion the next day with her belongings.
"CEO Yin. really want to thank you, and send a driver to bring me here personally, I hope my arrival, will not disturb you."
Emily said polite things to Matthew with a smile on her face.
Matthew nodded gently, still with a sexy smile on his face.
"Emily is really joking, you are Lauren's friend, which means my friend, it's only right for me to do so, but doesn't your personal bodyguard come to live with you at the mansion?"
To Matthew's surprise, that has always followed closely behind Emily, not half a step away from the Asahi. It actually disappeared at this time.
Emily froze for a second, but soon the smile returned to her face.
"He's working on Grandpa's side and living inside the mansion, and he doesn't need a bodyguard, I'm sure the security in the mansion is the best in the world, but in the future, it's really going to be a problem for you and the staff here."
Emily politely said to the few servants around her, and sent them the dresses she had prepared long ago.
Emily's graciousness. The smile on her face. In one fell swoop, the maids bribed these servants, who happily returned to work with their gifts.
"Matthew, I'm almost done packing, let's go to the office. Didn't you call me last night and have agreed to this development case?"
Matthew nodded his head.
"That's right, I took a closer look at it last night and found that your project is really outstanding. After discussing with the other shareholders, we unanimously decided to cooperate with Shangguan's Group for this resort development project. As for the specific matters, I will have my lawyer draw up a contract and give it to Mr. Shangguan."
"Great, I knew you'd appreciate my business case."
The happy, innocent smile on Emily's face. It really doesn't make anyone feel. This woman is a woman who is full of heart and approaches herself with a purpose.
"I'm going to go upstairs and check on Lauren, and then we'll go to the office together later, okay?"
Matthew nodded and watched Emily gracefully make her way upstairs to her room.
After two gentle knocks outside, Lauren smiled and pulled Emily onto her big bed.
"Emily, from now on, we can see each other every day, and I'm straight up so happy to be back to the old days of living in a foreign country."
Lauren is genuinely happy about Emily's arrival, happy that she can have a chance to get back at her.
"Lauren, although I now live in the mansion, but the situation is different, think about it, before when you were in a foreign country, was full of hatred for Matthew, but now is different, you now have his baby inside your belly, I believe you have long forgotten the pain of removing the silver ring and the loss of the baby. "
Emily, if anything, mentions the pain and suffering that Lauren faced when she escaped from Matthew's hands.
These words clearly evoked the pain that had been repressed in Lauren's heart.
"Well, I'm just saying that, don't take it to heart, even if you choose to be with Matthew now, you must forget the pain of the past, or you won't be happy."
It seems to be comforting to Lauren, but every word is about what hurts the most in Lauren's heart.
"Lauren, I'm going to go downstairs first, I'm going to go to the office with Matthew, we're going to work together for three months from now, but I really have to admit that Matthew is really an attractive man to women, a very good man. You have a really good eye,"
The adoration under Emily's eyes made Lauren's heart flutter.
"Emily, why didn't that Wook come with you? Didn't he always love you and want to be with you?"
Mentioning Wook, Emily's face turned a little ugly.
"Lauren, from now on, don't mention that man to me, I am the Miss of Shangguan's Group, he is just a servant, how can he be good enough for me? I'm looking for a man who is my equal and a good match. If I were to meet a man like Matthew, I would not choose to let go."
Lauren now really feels that letting Emily live in the mansion could be the beginning of the pain she faces.
