Since Catherine left in Ryler’s car, Clarissa went to Tyson Corporation in her own car.
Of course, she didn’t go there empty-handed.
Holding a little box in her hand, Clarissa took the elevator and headed to the president’s office. Then she politely knocked on the door.
But there was no response.
Clarissa knocked again. Still, there was not a single sound inside.
Annoyed, she opened the door and tilted her head to peek inside. As soon as she stepped into the room, someone pulled her in with force. Before she could make a sound, the man pressed her against the door and leaned closer to her. From his familiar scent, Clarissa had no doubt that it was Matthew.
While he wrapped his hands around her slim waist, Clarissa looked up at the man who just pulled a prank on her.
“You scared me!”
Matthew’s warm breath gently brushed past her ear as he chuckled, then he kissed her earlobe.
Clarissa shivered as she grabbed his collar tightly. “Matthew, I’ve brought you a gift,” she whispered coyly.
He hummed in response as he sucked her soft earlobe. However, he didn’t intend to let go of her.
While Clarissa’s body heated up at his seduction, she glared at him and pinched his arm.
“Do you want it or not? If you don’t, I’ll just throw it away then.”
Matthew paused for a few seconds before he loosened his arms and touched her forehead with his own.
Letting out a sigh, he tried to regain his composure. After that, he kissed her on her forehead and held her hands which were holding a small, exquisite box.
Matthew took the box and raised his brows. “Cake?” he asked.
Chuckling, Clarissa asked, “Why? Don’t you like it?”
Matthew fell silent for a few seconds. I can’t say no, can I?
But seeing the woman staring at him with her bright eyes in anticipation, he smiled and answered, “I like it!”
Clarissa burst into laughter, then she pushed him away and took a seat on the sofa. As she tilted her head and scrutinized Matthew’s expression, she easily saw through him.
“You’re lying. Forget about it. I was just being nice. Actually, I bought the cake for myself. Give me the cake. Hurry up!”
Having said that, she stretched out her porcelain hand and beckoned Matthew to bring the cake over, holding her chin up smugly like a princess.
“Hurry up!” Clarissa urged him.
Instead of being pissed off with her attitude, he gave her an adoring smile.
He walked toward her but didn’t hand the cake over immediately. Crouching down, he opened the box before handing the cake and a small fork to her. Clarissa was pleased by his thoughtfulness.
She squinted her eyes with satisfaction as she tasted the delicious cake while Matthew stared at her lovingly. It seemed he was destined to spoil her.
After taking a few bites, she fed him a spoonful of the cake.
“Try this.”
She said in a coquettish voice, sending a tingling sensation to his heart, which made him unable to reject her.
He gazed at the beautiful woman before him as he tasted the cake, enjoying the blissful moment very much.
Looking at his satisfied expression, Clarissa flashed a big grin. She enjoyed eating the cake as much as she liked looking at the man before her.
Matthew handed her a piece of tissue paper before he asked, “I thought you were accompanying Grandma. Why did you come over?”
Clarissa wiped her mouth and stared at him. “Well, there’s a childish man who got jealous. If I don’t come over, who knows whether he’ll throw a tantrum? It’ll be so embarrassing if the public finds out that Matthew Tyson is such a petty man!”
Matthew wasn’t infuriated by her words. Instead, he chuckled and gazed at Clarissa affectionately.
“Clare, does that mean you’re here because you missed me?”
Speechless, she nodded her head bashfully.
“Yes. I missed you, Matthew.”
“Call me Hubby.”
Clarissa giggled as she blushed. “Why do you like hearing that so much? It’s nothing special since many women call their men ‘Hubby’. I like calling you by your name instead. Matthew Tyson… Every time I say your name, it feels like you belong to me.”
Her sudden confession tugged at Matthew’s heartstrings, and his heart melted when she uttered his name.
Clarissa barely gave him sweet talk. But when she did, she said the most beautiful words he had ever heard. All he wanted was to show her how much he loved her.
The next second, Matthew did exactly that. He hugged his woman tightly and gave her a deep kiss.
When the kiss ended, Clarissa shoved him away. “I don’t want to interrupt your work. I’ll go downstairs to look for Yael. There are some work-related issues I want to discuss with her.”
Reluctantly, Matthew let go of her and sent her off.
