Clarissa grabbed the blanket and sat up. Meanwhile, Matthew was changing his clothes with his back facing her.
Even though he looked muscular and tall, the scratches on his back were a fly in the ointment.
Clarissa blushed and immediately lowered her gaze to look at her fingernails. She rarely kept long fingernails because she always had to type on a computer. This time, her fingernails were long as she hadn’t typed out any document for quite some time.
Wait a minute, why is there something like meat floss beneath my fingernails? Well, he can’t blame me because he tormented me last night!
Moreover, he refused to let me go even after I begged him.
Humph! I’m kind enough to leave some mere scratches on his back!
Once she looked up again, Matthew was straightening his necktie and staring at her. He put on a slight smile as he watched the change of her expressions.
The next moment, Clarissa withdrew her fingers and pursed her lips with dissatisfaction.
“Why are you staring at me?”
“It’s because you’re beautiful!”
She was rendered speechless.
Clarissa really wanted to roll her eyes at him. However, she couldn’t hide her smile and tried to comb her messy hair.
After a while, when Matthew rubbed her hair again, she looked up at him and said purposely, “I didn’t wash my hair yesterday.”
Matthew replied smilingly, “Oh, no wonder it smells.”
“What do you mean it smells?”
As Clarissa got a little nervous, she grabbed her hair and brought her nose close to it. I don’t think it’s smelly!
Suddenly, Matthew kissed her lips as she lifted her gaze to talk to him. She whined twice but seemed to have gotten used to it.
After letting go of her lips, he gently wiped away the saliva on the corner of her mouth and stood up.
Clarissa’s face flushed red.
Since Matthew kept staring at her, she couldn’t help but drive him off. “You don’t want to be late, do you? Just get going.”
Unexpectedly, Matthew comfortably sat beside her and didn’t intend to leave.
“Clare, have you forgotten that I’m the boss of the company?”
“Oh? Can the boss be late as he wishes?”
Matthew simpered. “No. But I am not getting a bonus for turning up on time every day.”
In other words, he can be late as he wishes.
She just rolled her eyes at him. A moment later, she gazed at her pajamas, which were thrown to the floor by him, and instructed, “Get me my pajamas.”
“Clare, you’re being rude. Take them yourself.”
“I…”
Judging from his naughty stare, Clarissa knew that he did it on purpose.
As such, she was rendered speechless and could only stare at him furiously. Nevertheless, Matthew was totally unperturbed.
She had no choice but to do it by herself. First, she wrapped the blanket around her body, making her look like a huge bun. Being on the alert to avoid an ambush by Matthew, she slowly got out of bed to pick up the pajamas.
Unfortunately, her wariness proved to be futile. Before she could reach the pajamas, Matthew carried her body with the blanket and brought her into the bathroom despite her screams of protest.
Although the noise continued in the bathroom, it was uncertain if she was protesting or moaning.
When Clarissa dressed up and went downstairs, she saw that Matthew had already put on a new set of suits.
As usual, a handsome wolf in sheep’s clothing!
However, because Clarissa was a little irritated, she shot him a few deadly glares.
Matthew didn’t leave her in the house alone but “abducted” her to his company instead.
Given that she didn’t have a desk job, she could hardly look for an excuse to stop him from bringing her along. Moreover, she didn’t have freedom because her studio was inside the same building as Matthew’s office.
After arriving at Tyson Corporation, she stood near the window on the top floor. Watching the sunlight streaming in through the window, she couldn’t help but sigh.
She took a selfie and edited it for quite some time before posting it on social media.
After that, she played some mobile games and read a novel. When she scrolled through the feed on Twitter, she realized that the police had called Shermaine up several times for investigation. Although the police didn’t openly accuse her of committing any crime, netizens largely believed that she was the mastermind behind many despicable crimes. In other words, they had found her guilty before the court did.
Clarissa was delighted over the news about Shermaine. In fact, she hadn’t received any news that was as exciting as this for quite some time.
Out of delight, she sent some gift coupons to her social media group.
Those gift coupons meant a lot to her, but definitely far less than what was usually given out by her wealthy friends.
She did it anyway as a means of celebrating her joy.
Initially, she thought that her wealthy friends would give a nonchalant shrug at those coupons. Much to her surprise, they were grabbed within seconds.
Yarick’s message read: Clarissa, what put you in such a good mood? Why did you give us coupons?
Jeremy’s message read: Clarissa has just received one hell of a gift. How could she not be happy about it?
Justin’s message read: Since the post-production for her film is completed, it’s time for her to give out some gift coupons to celebrate it.
Clarissa was excited when she read the message.
Really? That’s quick! Director Yates, you’re awesome!
Yarick replied to her message: Hey, Yates, Clarissa said you’re awesome. Luckily, Matt never reads the message in this group, or else he will be jealous.
