My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 231


    Chapter 231


    The man had short hair and a square face.With his thick lips tightly pursed, he had a very deep gaze


    that seemed to harbor infinite emotions.Matthew came to sign the contract after receiving the phone


    call. The only reason he came to Julia’s office was because of this.After she mentioned that Amelie and


    she were friends, Matthew did not even think about how Amelie managed to be friends with the


    head of Starlight Media and only wanted Julia to hook him up with Amelie.The more awkward thing was


    what he said to Amelie just now.Although he did not mean to show off, now that he had heard their


    conversation, it all seemed like a big joke.Did I say that I wanted to marry the wife of Starlight Media’s


    boss? I even stated that I would support her financially, huh? My job is given to me by her. Why would I


    say such a thing?!Matthew nearly pped himself out of embarrassment.You shameless


    embarrassment!“Mr. Larkson?”Just as Matthew was pondering over this, someone called him from


    behind.Turning around, he seemed dumbfounded, as he was still stunned about his newfound identity


    of Amelie.The person calling him was thew department personnel, who gestured at him. “The


    contract is ready now.”He then walked in while the two people inside saw him walking over.Julia’s eyes


    glimmered, as Matthew looked at Amelie with a disappointed expression and forced a smile before


    following the personnel to the smaller meeting room.Using her eyes, Julia hinted to Amelie that she


    was leaving to sign the contract.Amelie then nodded, walking to the balcony that had a coffee machine


    installed.Breathing in the outside air and enjoying the natural breeze, she leisurely sipped on the coffee


    she brewed herself.Night fell.In Mercury Bar, an expressionless Leo walked in with Toby apanying


    him. Leo’s smile created a stark contrast between the two.The bar had a nice name, giving it a sense


    that it would be a quiet and rxing ce to have a few drinks with a live singer adding to the


    atmosphere.Yet, they were almost sent stumbling backward by the deafening sound of the music as


    soon as they opened the door.“Is this James person right in the head? Talking business in such a noisy


    ce?” Toby tried his best to take in his surroundings while showing a slightly disdained


    expression.The dim lights, heavy metal music, less than savory crowd plus the people onstage that


    were dancing maniacally made it seem more like they had entered the valley of death instead.The


    moment Leo opened the door, he also frowned and had the same expression as Toby.Yet, after a mere


    two seconds, he regained his calmness. His expression appeared just as stoic as before.Toby turned


    around and looked at him only to see Leo taking in his surroundings nonchntly.He had to admit that


    Leo was better than him in this regard. Even in this kind of environment, Leo can still keep his cool and


    not be swayed. This isn’t easy to aplish.Toby knew that he could not do it. It seems like James


    wants to use this environment to disturb our thoughts and get the upper hand in the negotiation, eh?


    He’s going to be disappointed then.He could almost imagine how defeated the big, blonde


    businessman would look.In the end, it was the same as what Toby predicted, for Leo maintained his


    sharp demeanor. Not only did he not lose, but he even managed to turn the tables around and forced


    the opposition to give a five percent discount.Although it might not seem much, a five percent discount


    dealing worth a billion was astounding.Seeing James sign the contract and leave with a defeated


    expression made Toby smile. He looked at Leo, who was unaffected by his chaotic surroundings. “We


    didn’t have to negotiate on the base price anyway, yet you still chose to do it. Why? Did you want to


    punish him for his trick tonight?”Not denying this, Leo finally frowned deeply to express his disdain


    toward the ce. “You can wrap this up.”He then took his coat and left.Taking long strides, he seemed


    very proper and distant.After looking at Leo’s silhouette for a while, Toby turned around and started


    packing the documents.Then, he walked out only to bump into someone.That man was so drunk that


    he did not even move upon bumping into Toby.Although Toby was upset and frowned slightly, he still


    pushed the person aside politely. “Sir, you’re drunk.”“I-I’m not drunk!” That person waved his hands


    around.Not wishing to entertain a drunkard, Toby pushed him aside, wanting to leave.However, the


    man tugged on his shirt. “Elie, please don’t go. How about we have a chat?”Toby was speechless


    because he hated drunkards, but the name ‘Elie’ seemed to have glued him onto the spot.Although


    Toby was unsure whether the person was calling out to the one whom Toby thought, he was sure that


    they had nothing to do with each other but still found himself drawn to the name.At that moment, he


    only felt that he was pathetic andughable.“Elie…” the man called out. “We grew up in the same


    vige. I have liked you since the first day of meeting you in school. Even after you rejected me, I was


    never disheartened. I kept working hard to make sure that I could match up with you, but now… I onlyContent (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    found out howughable I am! You’re the boss of Starlight Media! I’m just some small-time business


    owner who even has to depend on your help! I really am a fool that doesn’t know his limits.”Toby, who


    was hearing the man speak, did not react until the words ‘Starlight Media’ was uttered. It was then a


    spark shed in his mind and connected a lot of incidents.Finally, a conclusion emerged within him. He


    was dumbstruck!Starlight Media’s Elie could only be Amelie! She… She is the real boss of Starlight


    Media! How many secrets is Amelie hiding in that tiny frame of hers?The man who had drunk himself


    into a stupor was none other than Matthew.This was the first he got so drunk, and everything he said


    came from his heart. Even if he was wasted, something was wing at his chest, making him feel


    awful. He gripped his shirt tightly.After a long time, Matthew stumbled away.Meanwhile, Toby only left


    after Leo’s chauffeur came to call him.Finally, there was some peace and quiet outside.Coming out


    from the noisy and polluted environment in the bar, no matter how bustling the street was, Toby still felt


    like it was paradise.Toby then saw Leo standing under a tree with his hands in his pocket.His gaze was


    a well of endless depth that nobody could disturb.Suddenly, a prank popped into Toby’s mind. If I


    expose who Amelie truly is and tell him the woman that treated him so whole-heartedly is not only


    beautiful and kind but also possesses an incredible capability, what kind of blow would it be to


    him?“Leo,” he called out to Leo with that in mind.Turning around, Leo was a bit upset. “Why took you


    so long?”Without waiting for Toby to answer, Leo rubbed his temples. “Let’s go.”He walked toward his


    car.“Amelie!” Toby suddenly stated, which made Leo look at him with curiosity.Although he did not


    speak, it was obvious that Leo was waiting for what Toby was going to say.“She’s…”
