Marrying

After the meeting, Matthew and the others had to rush back to Noria Group. 

They came out of the building, and Charles hadn’t withdrawn the teasing smile from the corner of his mouth from moments ago. Matthew was finally getting impatient with him. “What are you laughing at?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I just think Mrs. Grant was cool. Mr. Grant, what do you think?” Charles asked. 

“It’s none of my business.” Despite that, Matthew’s mind flashed the image of Valerie still smiling calmly when she was being glared at by everyone just now. He thought she would be so aggrieved at being wrongly accused that she could do nothing about it. He didn’t expect that she would be able to win and he had indeed underestimated her. 

Charles, of course, would not let Matthew off just like that. “Since you think it’s none of your business, then what was your rush to run downstairs

restroom.” 

“Mr. Grant, it’s not a good habit to be unwilling to express what you really think. Even if you admit that you care about Mrs. Grant, I won’t laugh at you…” Charles had always been gossiping and was testing Matthew’s bottom line frantically. 

Finally, Matthew couldn’t stand it anymore and grabbed Charles’s tie. 

Charles was half a head shorter than Matthew, so he could only stand on tiptoe to keep his breathing smooth. 

He secretly blamed himself for overdoing the joke. He was about to beg Matthew for mercy when a voice suddenly came from in front of them. 

“Mr. Grant!” 

Matthew’s hand stiffened imperceptibly for a few moments. He turned his head and saw Valerie carrying a bag not far away, looking toward him suspiciously. Apparently, she had just come out of the venue and was preparing to leave. 

Valerie was also surprised to see him there. Seeing Matthew’s face, she smiled. “I saw you from afar and thought you looked familiar. It’s really you, but, why are you here?” 

Valerie remembered Matthew telling her that he was a driver before, but this was the venue of Noria Group, how could a driver come to such a place? 

The speculation and sizing up revealed in Valerie’s eyes made Matthew’s already cold face even more stiff. After being silent for a few seconds, Matthew said, “At work.” 

“So you’re…” Valerie pointed at Charles. 

Matthew then realized his hand was still gripping Charles‘ tie. He instantly let go of Charles, his expression unchanged. “I’m fixing his tie.” 

Charles was speechless. ‘Fixing my tie? I was almost strangled to the point of gasping for air just now. Why didn’t I realize before that Mr. Grant is so good at making things up?‘ 

However, Charles only dared to complain it in his mind and didn’t dare to say it out loud. He was afraid that if he said a single wrong word to make Matthew expose his identity, he would really be finished. 

Unexpectedly, after hearing Matthew’s words, Valerie’s next reaction nearly broke Charles. 

With a smile, Valerie said, “Hi, you must be Mr. Grant’s leader, right? It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Mr. Grant… I’m Matthew’s wife. Thank you for taking care of him at work.” 

Le–leader?‘ Charles was so shocked that his body stiffened right in place. Looking at Valerie who reached over her hand, he froze for a while not daring to reach out to shake it. ‘Gosh, who dares to be Mr. Grant’s leader? I’m over! I’m over! Am I going to die?‘ 

Charles‘ pale face and hasty look caused Valerie’s eyes to show a hint of confusion. 

Afraid that she would say something shocking again, Charles wanted to deny he was Matthew’s leader. However, Matthew suddenly put one of his hands on his shoulder and said deeply to him, “Sir, my wife is greeting you.” 

Charles broke out into a cold sweat of fear.
