Matthew’s voice was not loud, but each word struck Samantha’s heart like a hammer. It left her breathless as she wondered what Matthew would say next.
Seeing as she was still standing there, Matthew said, “Did I not make myself clear?”
Samantha tried to hide her frustration and disappointment. After spending so much time with Matthew, she knew his temperament well. It was best to do as he said.
“But Matt… I thought you still haven’t chosen anyone.”
“Who I choose is irrelevant now. What I want to know is how you came to know about this.” Matthew sat on the couch and looked at her with a rigid posture.
Matthew did not have to ask. He could already guess that it was his mother, Gabriella, meddling in his business again.
He noticed that information about his activities was leaking from within the company. It was not just him being paranoid. Gabriella never failed to bring up what he was doing, covering it up with clumsy lies, which only made her more suspicious.
After finding out about this, Matthew turned a blind eye since no company secrets were leaked anyway. He knew his mother’s methods well. She either used threats or money to force his employees to compromise. However, Matthew was feeling somewhat regretful now.
He had hoped that his mother would know her place by now, but that was not the case. She was still seeking opportunities to maneuver Samantha into his presence.
Fidgeting with her fingers, Samantha responded, “I heard from Hudson’s company that he’s in need of a designer, so I came to volunteer.”
