With only an hour left before meeting the head of Sunrise Group, Matthew decided to set off from the office after dealing with a pile of documents.Kent had already reminded him three times by now, “Sir, we should leave soon. It might be congested on the way to Stike Hotel.”“Alright… Take these files to the car. I must review and revise them by today.”“Mr. Leon, you don’t have to rush. This is the contract with Mr. Xender, and he isn’t in a hurry.”As soon as Kent finished speaking, he received a sharp glare from Matthew.“Who said he’s not in a hurry? This is important to me, so quickly take these to the car. I don’t need to hear your opinion.”“Yes, of course. My apologies, sir.”Kent was surprised by Matthew’s seriousness. Kent was not wrong as there was no urgent need to complete the documents today. The discussions on the key points of the cooperation could continue until the end of the month, so Kent was confused as to why Matthew was rushing this.Of course, Kent was u
Matthew wanted to slam the table and blow his top, but the well-mannered side of him reminded him that he should not lose his temper at others at the table.He called the waiter over to order a few dishes. Ted from Sunrise Group kept smiling throughout the meal while emphasizing what an honor it was for him to be working with Leon Corporation. There was a smile on Matthew’s face throughout, but he had nothing to say.Kent knew that Matthew was getting impatient. He had worked with Matthew for many years and understood Matthew’s character and personality very well. When Matthew smiled that way and said nothing, it meant that he was very angry. However, Ted had no understanding of how Matthew was. Moreover, he was not observant at all. Ted kept on talking about how incredible Sunrise Group was.He seemed to have forgotten that Leon Corporation had always been at the top of the pyramid. Matthew did not care how well Sunrise Group was developed.When he heard Ted heaping praises on h
They were in a huge shopping mall located in the city center. This shopping mall contained mainly luxury brands, which was why despite it being renowned, many would end up being scared off by the prices.Even though Lucy was married to Matthew and was given his supplementary card, and she had unlimited use of money as a princess, she still felt the clothes here were too expensive. It was because of the way she had grown up.“Chelsea, weren’t we supposed to visit another shopping mall? Why did you bring me here? The clothes here are too expensive. I don’t really want to shop here…”“Come on, Lulu. It’s time you made a change. The clothes here might be a little expensive, but they're of really good quality. Every penny is worth it. These clothes can be customized. I think they’re worth spending money on.”Chelsea pulled Lucy into a boutique she was familiar with.“The summer collection here can all be customized. Do you want to try them on?”Lucy was blown away by the interior of t
Chelsea was full of praise and even sounded a little envious.Hugh had been making her eat the past few days, and she was now five or six pounds heavier. As for Lucy, no matter how much she ate, she did not seem to get fat.Lucy’s past dressing style could never show off her body. This dress accentuated every voluptuous curve on her body, making Chelsea envious and jealous to see her look so good.“I’m so envious of you, Lulu. You’ve got such a great body, not like me. I got fat because of Hugh, and now I can’t fit into this dress.”“What are you talking about? You still look great. I’m pretty sure you can fit into it.”“Alright. Stop consoling me. Come on. Let’s have a look in the mirror.”Chelsea pushed Lucy to the mirror. Lucy was surprised to see her reflection in the mirror. Lucy had always been fair-skinned. This dress highlighted the beauty of her skin. As the dress was dark red, it made her fair skin look bright and beautiful. It was the greatest complement to her skin co
It was not long before Hugh came rushing into the mall. He ran toward Chelsea the moment he saw her and could hardly catch his breath.“I’m sorry, Chelsea. Things got a little busy at the office, and I just got done with work…”Chelsea forgave him when she saw him that way.Matthew was still in his office.“Is my wife home?” Matthew read the document in his hands while asking Kent.“Mrs. Leon hasn’t returned home yet, Mr. Leon. The driver will inform us once they’re home.”Matthew looked unhappy.“It’s been quite a while. Why haven’t they reached home yet?”Kent heard the slight frostiness in Matthew’s voice, and a chill crept down his back.Matthew thought about this for a while before putting his work down and leaving.Hugh shopped around with Chelsea and Lucy before leaving the mall.That was when they bumped into Matthew rushing in.Lucy gave him several glances when she saw Matthew walking in. He should be in the office right now.“Oh my, little Lulu. Your man is here
The moon was beautiful that night. It was big and round, and the sky was filled with stars. There was a light breeze on the balcony that night, and the trees were swaying gently in the breeze as they rustled.Lucy lay on the lounge chair and felt herself relax after two days of being high-strung at work. The feeling was wonderful.Matthew felt happy looking at her that way. He took out a blanket from the room to cover her.“Do you think I can really take up the position of chief designer, Matthew?” Lucy looked up at the sky and asked Matthew.Matthew felt sad when Lucy looked that way. He walked to her side and said, “Of course, you can. You don’t need to be stressed out about it!”Lucy felt lucky at moments like this. She was able to meet Matthew and spend the rest of her life with him……The next morning, Lucy woke up on her bed. She went to clean herself up. Matthew had already gone to the office by then.After cleaning up, she went downstairs to make breakfast, but breakfas
Daniel looked out the window after hanging up.He said toward the door, “Come in.”His assistant entered and stood where he was without moving. He could tell that Daniel was not in a good mood.“Send someone to watch over Linus. Drag him over to me the moment you notice anything unusual. Make sure this doesn’t go wrong!”His assistant left immediately to get this done.Linus, oh, Linus! He hoped that Linus did not forget whose side he was on. If he did, Daniel would not let him off!Lucy decided to head out to paint in the afternoon to get some inspiration for her dress. She packed up her things and walked quickly toward the beach. That was when she heard someone calling out to her, “Hey, Lucy! Lucy!”She turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw Linus running toward her.“Linus Gusman? What are you doing here?” Lucy was surprised to see Linus appear.He went into a slight daze as he saw her dressed differently than usual.Lucy was wearing a flower dress. She had t
Matthew called Lucy on the phone while driving over.The phone kept ringing in Lucy’s pocket. She took it out to find out who was calling. She picked up the call happily when she saw it was from Matthew.“Matthew!”Linus could not help feeling jealous of Matthew when he heard how happily Lucy picked up the call.“Hello, Matthew?” Lucy suddenly felt unsettled when no one replied to her.Even though Matthew was happy to hear her voice, he tried to hold himself back and stay silent to force Lucy to apologize to him.However, Lucy thought there was something wrong with his line and hung up.Matthew looked at the disconnected call. His expression fell as he called her again.Lucy was puzzled when she saw him calling her again.“Hello? Matthew?”Matthew decided to say something this time in case Lucy hung up on him again.“I’m here. Where are you? I’ll come to see you!”Lucy was surprised. Matthew would not come to see her if he was busy at work. What was going on today?“I’m at
