    Chapter 31


    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    They came out of the building, and Charles hadn’t withdrawn the teasing smile from the corner of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?”


    “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 shed the image of Valerie still smiling


    calmly when she was being red at by everyone just now. He thought she would be so aggrieved


    at being wrongly used 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


    halfway through the meeting? Don’t tell me you were just to go to th


    Matthew was a little annoyed and didn’t answer.


    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’tugh 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 med 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 juste 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 drivere to such a ce?


    The spection 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 toin 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 ce. 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.
