Chapter 16
Matthew ut in the <b>backseat </b>of the Porsche, frowning. The Mini walled a few times on the road<b>, </b>and Matthew’s patience wore off. He asked Charles to <b>pick </b>him up. His time had been wasted on the road. When he was finally close to thepany, the car was rear–ended. This really <b>put </b>Matthew
Matt saw a young man in a trendy outfit getting out of the MMW from the rearview mirror. He looked like some frivolous twenty–something and didn’t seem to take the ident seriously. But then he saw the Porsche logo, and his face went pale. Matthew signaled to Charles to handle it. Caleb was responsible for the crash and had to pay for the damages. Charles told him it would set him back 16 thousand dors to fix the Porsche.
When Caleb heard the number, he freaked out. He made a decent amount of money but <b>was </b>not able to save much. He drove a BMW, but it was. the cheapest model and only cost around 40 thousand dors. That was hardly enough to buy a tire <b>for </b><b>a </b>Porsche. He still owed money on the <b>BMW </b>loan and couldn’t afford 16 thousand dors.
Matthew actually did this on purpose. He didn’t care about the money but would love to teach a frivolous young man a lesson.
Just then, he heard Charles saying, “Mr. Grant, that seems to be Miss Warren. <b>She </b>just got out of the car,”
The familiar name caught Matthew’s attention. He looked <b>in </b>the rearview mirror and saw a woman in a white shirt and ck skirt. It was Valerie.
“What’s she doing there?” he thought, his eyes genting cold.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
Valerie checked <b>out </b>the dent on the Porsche, took some quick pics, and made some calls. “Calm down,” she said to Caleb<b>, </b>who was freaking out
Then, with a smile, she went up to Charles and said, “Sir, we’re sorry about the crash. We’re down to pay for the damage, but 16 thousand dors is way too much. I have a friend who <b>works </b><b>at </b>the Porsche Service Center. Can we send your car over there? We’ll cover the bill no worries. You know <b>there’s </b><b>always </b><b>a </b>line for Porsche repairs. But don’t <b>you </b>worry, I have your car back to you in two days tops, so we don’t cause you any more trouble. We really appreciate it if you could say yes to this” She said it with a big smile and a logical mindset without sounding arrogant or timid.
Charles was hesitant. Then<b>, </b>a slender, bony hand stuck out of the <b>window </b>and did a little wave. It was <b>obviously </b>a man’s hand. The simple movement was somehow eye–catching. Charles’s attitude became soft, and Valerie knew the one sitting in the backseat owned the <b>Porsche</b>. <b>She </b>nodded slightly toward the rearview mirror to <b>thank </b>him, regardless of whether he could see her or not
“Our president has an important meetingter,” said Charles.
<b>Sure</b><b>, </b>no problem. I’ve already talked to my friend at the Porsche Service Center, and you’re always wee there. This is my personal business card, so feel free to contact me with any issues“<b>Valerie </b>smiled and handed over her business card.
Back in the car, Charle couldn’t help but joke. “I didn’t expect you to be kind to a woman, Mr. Grant‘
Matthew narrowed his eyes and said, “You’re ying with fire, Charles.”
Charles felt <b>a </b>chill down <b>his </b>spine <b>and </b>sat up with <b>his </b>mouth <b>shut</b>
Matthew looked at the rearview mirror again. He didn’t mean to help Valerie out, but the meeting was about to begin. And he didn’t want Valerie to walk up and see his face.
He <b>was </b>slightly impressed by her <b>just </b>now. Despite the troubling situation, she managed to remain calm, smiling, and organized. Instead of panicking, she focused on finding <b>a </b>solution as if she would never freak out
“Why <b>was </b>she in that <b>BMW</b>? And that man… Matthew thought. He <b>saw </b>that tall man <b>staring </b><b>at </b>Valerie. Manhew’s eyes darkened.
