The sight made a wave of jealousy wash over Matthew.Kent glanced up and caught sight of the two figures on the second floor. He could not help but worry for Hudson.Matthew climbed up to the second floor and found Hudson and Lucy sitting across from each other, laughing and talking.He walked over to them, his face stormy with anger.Lucy saw him coming and quickly smiled. She waved him over to join them.Hudson noticed Matthew approaching and let out a little laugh. He could tell from Matthew's face that he was feeling really jealous.Matthew sat down beside Lucy and looked at Hudson with a frosty stare. "Mr. Xender, does it really take this long to show my wife around the office? And you have to eat together too?"Hudson saw the look on Matthew's face, turned to Lucy, and shrugged his shoulders. He threw up his hands like he did not know what to say.Lucy turned to Matthew and gave him a little poke. "Mr. Xender was a huge help to me this morning, and he's even going to use
Daniel chuckled softly, a sly grin on his face."Henry, go send this photo to all the big media outlets. I want a media storm that'll ruin them."When Matthew got home, he and Lucy were so sleepy they just crashed into bed.Not long after, Matthew's phone started ringing off the hook.Matthew hated being woken up like that.However, the ringing would not stop, so he took a quick look. He saw that Lucy was still sound asleep, so he grabbed his phone and headed to the living room.He checked the caller ID and called back. It was Hudson."Hey! Mr. Leon, you finally picked up," Hudson said.Matthew, annoyed, replied, "What's going on? Just tell me.""Please, I need your help," Hudson pleaded. "Someone snapped a photo of me and Lucy eating on the restaurant's second floor today, and now it's all over the news. Lucy's brother, Prince Theodore from Charleston, has dug up my past. "He just threatened to expose the dirt on me to keep me away from Lucy. Why am I, an outsider, gettin
Matthew entered the room again to find Lucy tossing and turning in bed.The sight of her put a smile on his face.‘Lulu, I promise to love you for the rest of my life. It has been an honor meeting you, and I hope we’ll go the distance together,’ Matthew thought to himself.He climbed into bed and went back to sleep, holding Lucy close.…Meanwhile, Hudson was still pondering the identity of the anonymous investor. He was checking online for more clues when the phone on the table rang.Seeing the incoming call, Hudson hesitated to pick up, but he eventually did.“Yes, Uncle Josiah?” Hudson’s tone was cold and subdued.A deep voice came from the other end of the line. “Hudson, I heard you’re working with Leon Corporation.”Hudson knew that this conversation was inevitable.“Yes. Mrs. Leon has a remarkable talent, so I worked with Leon Corporation to sign with her, hoping that her work will benefit our company.”A cold chuckle sounded. “Why didn’t you discuss this with me? How
"For heaven’s sake, get a room!” Seeing Matthew and Lucy hold onto each other for an uncomfortably long time, Hudson felt utterly speechless.Matthew turned to gaze at him arrogantly before scoffing. While Lucy also felt speechless, she found the situation somewhat amusing deep down.“Alright, Matt, you should go now. I need to start work. See you tonight,” Lucy started urging Matthew to leave. Matthew reluctantly left, looking at Hudson and Lucy before departing.“Mrs. Leon, it seems like Mr. Leon is head over heels for you,” said Hudson, secretly envious of their relationship as he wondered when it would be his turn to experience this kind of love.Lucy smiled bashfully and replied, “I’m sure you’ll find someone, Mr. Xender.”With that, Hudson led Lucy to her office.“Can I call you Lucy?” Hudson asked as soon as they reached the door.Visibly taken aback by his question, Lucy replied, “Of course.”“Great. Lucy, your previous draft has been approved for our company’s new cl
"Make yourself at home. We’ll be making a significant contribution to the company together from now on!” Lucy smiled at Lacee.“Lucy, do you have any inspiration for the fashion show next month?” Lacee smirked.“I only found out about the fashion show today, so I haven’t had time to prepare. How about you?”Lacee chuckled awkwardly and responded, “Of course not. How could anyone design the perfect outfit so quickly? Don’t you think so?”“Not exactly. We can just design what we think is the most beautiful garment, no?”Lucy felt a spark of inspiration within.“Why don’t you start with a draft? If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can bring it to me. My office is the second room across from yours.”“Thank you, Lacee.” Lucy found her to be quite friendly, which was why she let her guard down around her.After Lacee left, her expression turned scornful as she looked down on Lucy.…Lucy spent the evening preparing the drafts but was not satisfied with any of her designs,
"You shouldn’t overwork yourself, or Matthew will kill me!” Hudson chuckled.Lucy was a little embarrassed to hear that as she knew exactly what Matthew’s temperament was like. He was so easily jealous that she did not know what to do about it at times.“Matthew can be quite stubborn at times. I hope you don’t mind.”“It’s okay, I don’t mind. I was just joking. Are you going home now? Do you want me to give you a ride?”Lucy waved her hand and said, “No need. Matthew will be here soon.”“Alright then. I’ll be going now. Take care and stay safe.”“Goodbye, Mr. Xender.”After Hudson left, Lucy sat at her desk, waiting for Matthew to come.“Lulu, I’m downstairs. Hurry down and don’t forget to put on your coat. It’s a bit chilly outside,” Matthew’s concerned voice came through the phone.“Okay.” Lucy obediently put on her coat and hurried downstairs. When she reached, she saw Matthew standing by the road waiting for her.“Get in, Lulu, or you’ll catch a cold.” Matthew carefully o
After the satisfying meal, Matthew drove Lucy to work. When they got there, Lucy reluctantly parted with him.“Matt, you should go to work now!”Matthew looked at her and said, “I’ll leave after I watch you go inside. Go on.”Knowing there was no use arguing with him, Lucy headed into the building. However, she could not help looking back at him.Once her figure disappeared from his sight, Matthew drove away.Back in her office, Lucy tidied up as usual before focusing on next month’s fashion show preparations.“What do I think is the most beautiful?” Lucy muttered to herself at her desk.Suddenly, someone pushed open the door, but Lucy did not notice. The person sneaked up on her and shouted loudly, startling Lucy as she let out a cry.Once she calmed down, she turned around and saw that it was Koven.“Koven, what are you doing here?” Lucy was confused, completely forgetting about her initial fright.Koven chuckled at her confused look.“Isn’t the Hype and Elegance Fashion S
Lucy sat in the passenger seat, confused as to where Koven was taking her.“Koven, where on earth are we going?”Koven shot her a glance and smiled without saying a word as he continued driving.About 20 minutes later, Lucy was about to doze off when Koven suddenly said, “We’re here!”Half-asleep, Lucy slowly opened her eyes and looked outside.“Wow! What a beautiful place! Koven, when did you find out about this place?” Lucy took in the breathtaking sight.On both sides of the road where their car was parked, a row of large maple trees were planted, carpeting the road with golden maple leaves. The beautiful scene brought inspiration to Lucy.“What do you think? It’s pretty nice, huh?” Koven asked smugly.“How did you find out about this place?” Lucy looked at him with admiration, making him immediately swell with pride.“I just happened to come across it when I visited last time. Since then, whenever I need inspiration for my designs, I come here.”Looking at the pile of map
