On their way to Lucy's company, Charlie kept giving Matthew weird looks.
Matthew's skin crawled under his gaze, and he finally blurted out, "What's with you? Why do you keep staring at me like that?"
Charlie sighed. "I never thought you'd let your wife work, Matthew. I figured you'd spoil her rotten and keep her all to yourself at home every day."
Matthew shot Charlie a frosty glance. "Spoiling her is one thing, but trapping her is another. You're a lawyer. Shouldn't you know better?"
Charlie cleared his throat, now even more curious about Matthew's wife. What kind of amazing person could have such a hold on Matthew?
They soon arrived at the entrance of Lucy's company. The receptionist, who knew Matthew well, quickly made a call.
"Ms. Lucy, Mr. Leon is here."
After a brief chat, she directed Matthew to the private elevator that led straight to Lucy's office.
Matthew pushed open the office door and froze. The desk was buried under a mountain of paperwork. What in the world?
How could there be so many documents? He worried if his wife kept this up, she might just work herself to the bone.
He bit back his comment, knowing it would only land him in hot water later.
Lucy looked up at the sound of the door and gave a small start of surprise.
"Matthew, how did you get here?" Lucy asked, her eyes then curiously moving to the man next to him. "And who might this be?"
Charlie gazed at Lucy with a spark of interest. She was quite pretty, with a fresh and elegant air about her. There was a barely noticeable air of power to her.
