Skyler walked away with staggering feet. His pace was much slower, indicating his unhealed injuries.
"Matthew, look at him..."
Miguel, who didn't know what to say, gazed at Matthew.
Matthew sighed. "We can't help him when it comes to matters of feelings. If he can't handle the issues between the Robins and Shirley, it's better for both of them to break up."
Miguel deemed Matthew's rational analysis to make sense. "You're right."
The two of them got up and left the club, intending to send Skyler home. As soon as they stepped out of the club, they saw him driving away, leaving them no chance to catch up.
"What should we do?" Miguel anxiously ran his hand through his hair and let out a long sigh.
Matthew simply replied, "Let him be."
No one could help Skyler and Shirley with their relationship issues. They were on their own.
Miguel nodded helplessly. "Alright, I'm leaving."
"Is Eleanor adapting well at your place?" Seeing Miguel getting ready to leave, Matthew casually asked a few questions.
Eleanor had been with Miguel for over a month as of today. Matthew was worried that her temper would cause him trouble.
Helplessness washed over Miguel at the mention of that lady. He pushed his frameless spectacles. "I've never met such a hot-tempered lady before."
"If she's causing you trouble..." Matthew's expression turned serious. "If that's the case, I'll call her tomorrow and tell her not to go."
"It's not that serious." Miguel waved his hand, thinking of something hilarious. "I took her to a client the other day. You know, men are easily attracted to her looks. The CEO of Frozen Green Company took a liking to her and touched her waist, only to have Eleanor break his arm. The old man fell to his knees in pain.
"There were over a dozen CEOs on the occasion. After witnessing how fierce she was, none of them dared to make a move on her. Speaking of which, a few CEOs even want to collaborate with me and use Eleanor as leverage."
Miguel nudged Matthew's arm. "I'm hesitating whether to accept the deal or not."
Matthew gave Miguel a meaningful look. "It's not impossible."
With that, he strode away without continuing further. Miguel stood there, confused. "What does he mean by that? Is that a green light?"
Matthew marched forward without looking back. He raised his hand and made an 'OK' sign.
Driving back to Pinewoods Villa, Matthew went upstairs to the bedroom where Veronica was lying on the bed, reading a script.
She had a shower. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she was wearing a beige satin camisole, which accentuated her fair skin and cherry-red lips. She was irresistibly gorgeous.
He approached her and looked at her lying on her stomach. He was about to say something when he noticed that she had fallen asleep.
Smiling helplessly, he carefully took the script away and gently covered her with a blanket. Next, he went to his study to work.
The next morning, Veronica woke up early when Matthew was still asleep. She turned to the side to admire his features, indulging in the peaceful moment.
After barely a few seconds of admiration, he pulled her into his embrace. "Come closer so you can take a closer look."
It turned out that he had already woken up. She chuckled, hugging Matthew's waist. "It's still early. Let's sleep in a little longer."
He opened his eyes, watching Veronica in close proximity. He planted soft kisses on her lips. "I want to sleep with you."
Veronica went red. "Get your mind out of the gutter. By the way, what happened to Skyler yesterday?"
