Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 61

The room fell silent.

Time ticked by. Matthew was busy with more immediate work when he found that Blanca was asleep.

She slumped on the tea table, her long lashes leaving a thin shadow below her eyes. He tried so hard to hold back his desire to touch her baby-like porcelain skin. Not some once-in-a-century beauty, but still easy on the eye…

Matthew went into a daze as he looked at her.

His gaze fell on the pendant she had. That necklace… if she really was that person’s relative, then, they really were meant to be.

There came a sudden buzz on his phone. Matthew hurriedly snatched it up and turned the volume down before he even knew he’d subconsciously done that.

He went into the lounge at the side of the office to take the call. At that moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

“Miss Harris, Miss Harris you can’t go in… sorry to wake you, madam.”

Curtis saw Blanca stir groggily on the sofa and groaned.

“It’s fine, and this is…”

Blanca rubbed her eyes. When she saw the slick black suit on her, Elizabeth Harris’ face darkened. She was wearing Matthew’s suit!

In almost an instant, Elizabeth had stormed over and slapped Blanca crisply across the face.

“You little bitch, sleeping in Matthew’s office, wearing his clothes, I…” Elizabeth snapped and was about to strike again when she saw Blanca’s face. She was in shock. “Why is it you again?”

“What’s your problem?”
