Chapter 88
Valerie was anxious because she could not book a taxi. When she heard Matthew’s words, she was first stunned for <b>a </b>moment before feeling a sense of wannth.
<b>As </b>if grabbing onto a lifeline, she quickly told him about Katherine’s <b>situation</b>. “Mr. Grant, can I be so bold as to ask you to help me out?” she said. “It may be a hassle, but I really need to <b>make </b>a trip to Vomez”
With that said, she saw Matthew lowering his <b>head </b>silently.
Valerie immediately felt a little ufortable, thinking. I know he is busy with work. Besides, he is driving <b>his </b>boss’s car. I should not bother him during <b>his </b>working hours. Plus, whether Dn would make a move on Katherine is just my guess after all!
With that in mind, Valerie was mentally prepared to be rejected. She <b>knew </b>that Matthew was someone who disliked hassle.
<b>“</b><b>Vomez </b>is 110 miles from here, Matthew said. “It takes two hours to reach there. Can you make it in time!”
As he spoke, he lifted <b>his </b>phone. It was only then that she realized that he wasn’t rejecting her when he lowered his head earlier, Rather, he was checking the navigation on his phone.
Matthew’s expression remained cold, and her voice did not have much fluctuation, but for Valerie at that moment, there <b>was </b>an inexplicable sense of security. It instantly warmed her whole being.
She quickly nodded and said, “I can make it there in time. I can make it there in time?
Matthew simply said. “Get in the car.
“Sure!” <b>Valerie </b>hurriedly replied, But the car that had broken down still needed someone to take care of it, so one of the male <b>colleagues </b>went to Vomer with her while the other one stayed behind to keep an eye on the car.
As for <b>Dn’s </b>wife, she felt that Valerie was being unreasonable <b>and </b>refused to follow Valerie no matter what was said. She even threatened <b>that </b>she wanted to go back toin about Valerie and make her lose her job.
Valerie knew that even if Dn’s wife way brought along, she would no longer cooperate in calling Dn, so Valerie let her be. After Valerie and her male colleague got into the Land Rover. Matthew stepped on the elerator. The <b>car </b>sped on the highway <b>toward </b>Vomez.
After getting into the car, Valerie called Katherine again, but there was still no answer.
Matthew calmly analyzed the situation for her, saying, “Don’t be overly concerned. Judging from what you said earlier, there are lots of people ar the <b>wedding </b>reception, so <b>everything </b><b>should </b>be fine.”
Valerie nodded. <b>Then</b><b>, </b>she could not help but force a sanile, saying, “Mr. Grant, do you think I’m making a big fuss over <b>a </b>minor <b>issue</b>? There’s clearly no basis for <b>that</b>, and <b>it’s </b><b>just </b>my spection, yet 1 sull insist on going over to take a look to put my mind at ease.”
But Matthew said, “Since she’s your friend, it’s only right that you care about her. If something really were to happen and you regretted not taking action, it <b>would </b>be toote for regrets”
Valerie thought so too. She didn’t dare to take chances
“By the way, you should still be at work, right?” she said. “You <b>drive </b>to Yomez with me right away. Will Mr. Hudson be upset if he finds out? Should you let him know?”Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“It’s fine.” Matthew said. “He’s out of town on <b>a </b>business trip and doesn’t need this <b>car</b><b>. </b><b>I’ll </b>let him knowter. His gaze was indifferent, thinking, Charles won’t have the guts to object
Valerie breathed <b>a </b>sigh of relief <b>and </b><b>said</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>Thank you, Mr. Grant
“No problem.” Manhew replied<b>.</b>
As the two of them spoke, the male colleague in the <b>back </b><b>seat </b><b>was </b>puzzled. He thought, Didn’t Valerie mention earlier that this guy is her husband? <b>I’ve </b><b>seen </b>married couples who are not close, but this level of unfamiliarity <b>is </b><b>a </b>first for me. <b>But </b>Valerie is truly something. Even the husband of a good–looking person is so handsome! But for some reason, <b>I </b><b>can’t </b>shake off the feeling that Valerie’s husband <b>is </b><b>somewhat </b>familiar. I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before…
The <b>male </b>colleague was deep in thought <b>when </b>Valerie interrupted him.
Although <b>Dn’s </b><b>wife </b>didn’t manage to trick Dn into <b>revealing </b>his exact location, the scope had at least narrowed down from Vomez to Resburn County
Smaller locations <b>had </b>their advantages. There were not many stores rted to weddings. Valerie changed her phone’s location settings to Resburri <b>County</b>. Then, she used <b>various </b>apps to search for highly <b>ranked </b>flower shops and <b>cake </b>shops in Resburn County. After that, she and her <b>male </b>colleague divided the work, calling each store une by one ording to dicir <b>rankings </b>and <b>asking </b>if there were <b>wedding </b>nners who had ced

Unknowingly, nightfall <b>gradually </b>descended outside the <b>window</b>. The sky was dark, and one could almost hear the sound of the wind whooshing

Valerie hurried out in the afternoon and was only wearing a thin shirt. Just as she was wondering why she did not feel cold, she realized that Matthew had quietly turned on the heater at some point.
