Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1447
“Yeah. I didn’t buy any clothes when I came to Canberra, so I thought about buying a few.” Matthew’s blue eyes exuded a charming smile. “We met just in time. Would you mind if I consult you?”
Catherine was just about to speak when the clerk came over with a brown suit. “Miss Jones, is this the suit you were talking about?”
“Uh… Yes. ” Catherine nodded. “ Can you help me get one with a bigger size?”
“Of course.” The clerk turned and went to change it. Before she left, she secretly sized Matthew up.
“Why did she call you Miss Jones?” Matthew blinked in confusion. “Isn’t your last name Yule?”
“Sorry, my last name is actually Jones. ” Catherine smiled helplessly. “My name is Catherine Jones. ”
“Carrie… No, Catherine. You’ve gone too far. I told you my real name and thought of you as a friend, but you gave me a fake name.” Matthew had a bitter look on his handsome face.
If it were anyone else, Catherine would not bother to explain herself. However, Matthew was different. The familiar and amiable feeling she got from him made her not want to see him angry. “ I’m sorry. It’s because I’m somewhat considered a public figure, and my reputation isn’t that good. When we met in Melbourne, I thought our paths crossed coincidentally and that we wouldn’t meet again.
That was why I made up a fake name.”
“A public figure?” Matthew blinked. “Are you a celebrity? An artiste?”
“No.” Catherine shook her head. “It’s more like… somewhat of an online celebrity.”
“Oh.” A vague look of understanding flashed in Mathew’s eyes. “In any case, I guess this can be considered as us getting reacquainted. You live in Canberra, right? I’ll also settle down here in the future. This is great. You’re my first friend in Canberra. I’m very glad to meet you again.”
He extended his right hand like a gentleman. Catherine shook his hand.
