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
The veins on Matthew’s forehead throbbed as he watched Linus walk away. He clenched his fists.Lucy got angry at the thought of what Mathew did, but she found it comical to see him being so jealous.“Hey! What’s wrong with you?” Lucy turned away to look at the scenery in a huff while asking him.Matthew turned only to see her back when he heard her voice.She was wearing a floral dress today and had her hair tied in pigtails. Her dress billowed in the wind. She made a picture-perfect sight.Matthew went up to her and hugged her. He leaned in close and mumbled, “I’m sorry. That was rash of me… But… you were just too close to him…”“That wasn’t close. He was helping me take a look at my painting.”Matthew took out his phone to show her the photo.Lucy looked at it. That was her and Linus in the photo! She turned and pushed Matthew away. She yelled at him, “Matthew Leon! Did you get someone to spy on me?”“No… No, I didn’t… I was just worried for your safety!” Matthew had no idea
“Alright. Let’s head out.”“Wait!” Matthew called out to Kent before he left the room.“Is there anything else, Mr. Leon?” Kent gave Matthew a puzzled look. He was breaking out in cold sweat.“I need you to help me look into someone. His name is Linus Gusman. The more detailed information you have about him, the better.”“Alright.” Kent was relieved. He was secretly sorry for this man named Linus Gusman.That was when Matthew received a message from Sunrise Group on his computer: [Are you free to meet this afternoon to talk about our partnership, Mr. Leon?]Matthew read the message. A smile appeared on his face as he said to himself, "Okay."Then, he received another message from Ted: [We’ll meet downstairs at your company this afternoon at two.]Ted cursed out loud when he saw that his messages went unread. “Who does Matthew Leon think he is?! Does he really think that he’s the boss?!”Daniel was next to Ted, and his face fell when he saw Ted yelling that way.“You have to m
“This… This is just a partnership between Sunrise Group and Leon Corporation. No one else is involved…”Matthew did not believe Ted's words. He sneered. “I can sign the contract and we can work happily together but… if anything happens, you won’t get off that easily!”Ted felt a chill behind his back. He was forced to nod in agreement.Matthew picked up the contract on the table and signed it after that.Ted was relieved to see him sign it.“I hope that Sunrise Group understands that everything has consequences. As for who's behind all of this, I’ll find out eventually as well!”Matthew turned to leave after that.Ted watched him walk away and felt a chill in his heart. He quickly made a call.“Hello, Mr. Zimmer, the contract is signed.” Ted did not dare to tell Daniel what Matthew had said. Instead, he told Daniel that he was worried Daniel would not pay him the rest of the money.Daniel smiled at Ted’s words. He was victorious.“Alright!”“About the payment, Mr. Zimmer, wh
