Lucy was relieved to hear Matthew’s words, so she smiled sweetly. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Then, she tidied herself up and went downstairs to wait for Matthew to pick her up.
…
After Matthew hung up, he glared at the director beside him menacingly.
“Who gave you permission to interrupt me while I was on the phone?”
The director shivered and looked down. “I’m sorry, Mr. Leon, but the meeting later is really important. It’s about the next charity auction, so…”
The director’s voice got smaller and smaller under Matthew’s chilling gaze.
He could not help but complain internally, 'Mr. Leon, the auction is worth billions of dollars. How can you leave now?’
Hearing as the director’s voice was gradually getting softer, Matthew withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. “It’s just a charity auction. Do I look like someone short on cash?
“We’ll talk about that later. My wife is more important right now.”
He said to Kent, “Get one of my cars out of the garage. I’m going to pick up my wife at her company.”
Kent immediately agreed without any hesitation.
Having been with Matthew for some time, Kent had long known that he loved his wife so much that he was willing to burn billions of dollars.
It was not like Matthew needed that money anyway.
Meanwhile, the director felt the urge to cry. Since getting married, Matthew had been irresponsibly skipping work and frequently postponing meetings.
Lucy was already waiting downstairs. Time had never felt this slow before. Every passing minute and second felt like torture.
Soon, a familiar car came into her sight. She waved happily at the car, and it stopped in front of her.
The car window rolled down, and Matthew smiled at his wife.
“Come in, wifey. I’ll take you home.”
After sitting next to Matthew and fastening her seat belt, Lucy found herself at a loss for what to do next. She was looking forward to seeing Matthew at first, but now…
She felt a little awkward.
What was she supposed to do after seeing him? She could not just sit there in silence, could she? Glancing at Matthew’s deep, piercing gaze, she felt helpless.
