Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 18

Matthew Starks?

Why was he here?

Nell immediately tensed and looked behind Matthew, but she did not see that man’s figure.

Hayley did not recognize him and frowned in annoyance. “Who are you?”

Although the shop assistant did not know who he was either, she recognized the mall manager and hurriedly pulled Hayley’s sleeve before whispering to her.

Matthew sneered and ordered the person behind him, “Leith Corporation has always had a rule of never bullying customers. If a small shareholder of the mall dares to be so unreasonable and come to a store to bully customers, wouldn’t it ruin Leith Corporation’s reputation in the long run?

“Manager Riley, take down what Ms. Morton said today and show it to President Morton later. Never let it be said that Leith Corporation violated the agreement and kicked them out. From today on, make it so that the Morton family is kept out of Times Square!”

Manager Riley was shocked and hurriedly agreed.

Hayley immediately paled.

“You’re with the Leiths?”

Matthew smiled coldly. “Ms. Morton has finally caught on.”

“...Even if you’re with the Leiths, you can’t just make decisions at will!”

“Ms. Morton will know if I can just make decisions when you return. I believe that Chairman Morton will have a nice long talk with you when he gets home tonight.”

Then, he no longer bothered wasting time talking to Hayley and went over to Nell before whispering, “Ms. Jennings, the president is waiting for you outside…”

Nell’s expression changed and she bit her lips.

“My friend is still upstairs…”

“I’ll take care of explaining things to her.”

Nell stared up at him and finally nodded.

After leaving the store and walking several dozen meters to the left, she saw a man standing there.

He was dressed in a black suit and his meticulous appearance was, as always, handsome and tall. He stood there as if he was part of the landscape itself.

He waved at her when he spotted her.

Nell walked over and stopped a few paces from him, and forced a smile.

“President Leith, what a coincidence! Are you also here for a stroll?”

Gideon’s lips curled and he reached out to tug her over.

Nell was unprepared and stumbled. She was instantly shocked at being pulled into his arms.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t move.”

Gideon raised his hand to remove a fleck of dirt that got into her hair from somewhere. His movements were gentle and very natural.

Nell went into a daze and could not help but blush.

She took a small step back and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, suddenly not daring to look into his eyes.

“Ah… Thank you, for sending Matthew in to help me out.”

Gideon smiled and said casually, “I just happened to pass by and realized that there was an argument in the store, and thought the voice sounded like yours. Who would’ve thought it really was you. I have to say that we’re really destined. We even bump into each other while shopping.”

Nell. “...”

She looked up at him, slightly curious.

“Shouldn’t you be working at the office around this time? Why are you out shopping?”

The man lied with a straight face. “Today’s my off day.”

“I see!”

Although Nell was confused as to why Gideon was having a Monday off, she thought about how bosses were people who set their own times, so she was convinced.

She took a look around but did not see anyone else. “Are you strolling around alone?”

Gideon nodded deeply.

“Isn’t that boring?”

“A little, so can you stroll with me a little?”

Nell paused.

That question… was not easy to answer!

She forced a smile and declined. “I came here with my best friend, so… It wouldn’t be very convenient for you!”

Gideon thought for a moment before nodding. “That’s true.”

He suddenly pulled out a black gold-emblazoned card and placed it in her hand.
