Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

“No, I didn‘t. Who do you expect me to see, Mr. Ritter?” Tiffany asked with feigned ignorance.

Thomas smiled at once. “No, nothing. I just wanted to ask if you had seen Miss Carson leaving.” He cleverly made up an excuse. Miss Carson was one of the secretaries in Spinfluence Group‘s secretarial department, so it was normal for her to make contact with Matthew.

“No, I didn‘t.” Tiffany stared fixedly at Thomas without blinking. When her keen eyes noticed the flicker of guilt in his eyes, she instantly realized that he was hiding something

Ding! The elevator reached the top floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, Thomas made an inviting gesture. “You may go in, Miss Larson. Young Master Matthew is inside. I‘ll be going down first.” It would be improper for him, a personal assistant, to play gooseberry when the engaged couple were alone in a private space.

“Oh, okay.” Tiffany nodded. Carrying her handbag, she stepped out of the elevator in high heels. After reaching the door to the living room, she knocked on the door, which opened automatically for her to go inside.

In the living room, Skyler was bombarding Matthew with questions about Veronica, whereas Caleb sat aside and listened quietly without saying a word. When the living room door suddenly opened, they looked at the door and saw Tiffany coming in.

Skyler‘s eyes widened involuntarily; he grabbed Caleb‘s arm and pinched it hard. “Holy sh*t, why‘s she here? It‘s lucky that Veronica‘s gone. Otherwise, wouldn‘t she have caught Matt in the act?” he whispered to himself.

However, as soon as he finished his sentence, Matthew immediately shot him a threatening glare, sending a chill down his spine while causing him to let out an involuntary gasp of fright.

Tiffany said, “Matthew? Oh, Skyler and Caleb! So both of you are here 100?” She had been suspecting just now that something was going on between Veronica and Matthew, but her mind was put to rest when she saw Skyler and Caleb. She thought she had worried too much just now. Even if Veronica did come, it was a best because Matthew had something to give her. After all, Veronica was Elizabeth‘s god granddaughter, so it was understandable for them to be in touch with each other

Furthermore, what else could happen between them in the presence of the upright Caleb?

Forcing out a chuckle, Skyler waved to Tiffany and flattered her against his conscience, saying, “Ho ho, our gifted lady is here! You‘ve become prettier since I last saw you several days ago.” Luckily, he flirted with women all the time and was often accompanied by gorgeous ladies, so these words of flattery came to him as easily as breathing. They might sound insincere, but he was used to saying them.

Caleb nodded to Tiffany in greeting.

Matthew asked, “What brings you here?” He looked unperturbed upon seeing Tiffany, but his fathomless eyes rested on her face with a touch of scrutiny, as if musing on whether she had stumbled across Veronica.

He was only asking Tillany to stop wearing perfume on the excuse of her pregnancy so that he wouldn‘t detest her even more. However, when Tiffany heard those words, she felt she was being loved and cared for by the man. Deeply moved, she nodded heavily. “Okay, I‘ll do as you say, Matthew.” It doesn‘t matter even if the perfume and

cosmetics I‘m using are safe for pregnant women. As long as he dislikes it, I‘ll correct it, she thought. Finally she added, “I‘ll try not to wear makeup and high heels from now on.”
