Samantha was pissed, but all she could do was stomp her feet in frustration as she watched Matthew’s retreating figure.
Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Matthew’s mother, Gabriella.
“Mrs. Leon…”
Samantha sounded so aggrieved that Gabriella immediately noticed something off.
She asked, “Samantha, what’s wrong? Didn’t we agree that you'd go look for Matthew first?”
Samantha was choking up from tears. “Mrs. Leon, it’s not like that… Matthew, he… left. He's completely ignoring me…”
Gabriella was immediately angered. “How could that be, Samantha? Tell me, is it because of Lucy?”
Although Lucy was not there, Samantha guessed that it was probably her because she was the only reason Matthew would be in such a rush to leave.
“I think so. Mrs. Leon… Matthew left me to find Lucy, and he didn’t listen to a thing I said.”
“Is he out of his mind?! Didn’t you tell him to stay put and wait for me to arrive?” Gabriella raised her voice from fury, but there was also a hint of grievance in her tone that even she did not notice.
With a knack for comforting others, Samantha acted as the peacemaker in this situation. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Leon… Matthew must have made plans with Lucy, so it’s understandable for him to go look for her. I can’t go against his wishes…”
While Gabriella wanted Samantha to keep Matthew around longer, her real motive was to have him spend more time with Samantha and less with that woman, Lucy.
