Chapter 899
She coughed. “We figured that it would be merrier if everyone were to eat dinner together.”
William replied, “Oh, sure. I’ll head over after work.”
Matilda immediately hung up after that. Then, she started regretting what she did. What an
embarrassment. Why did I blush? Why was I being so awkward and shy when I’m already at this age?
William chuckled lightly after he hung up. Even across the phone call, he could still sense Matilda’s
awkwardness. In fact, he could even imagine her facial expression right then. That thought amused him
greatly.
After cing his phone down, he continued reviewing his documents before getting his assistant to
come over and instructed them on things to do so that he could leave.
By the time he finished arranging everything, it was already almost time for him to clock out.
After packing up his stuff, William went to John’s office and wanted to ask him if he wanted to leave
together.
However, John had already left.
William didn’t think much about it as he figured that John was probably heading toward Logan’s ce
already, so he took the elevator and went downstairs.
After getting out of the elevator to the hall, William halted when he saw Ynda sitting on the couch in
the hall. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.
However, Ynda didn’t notice William as she was busy looking at her phone, so William walked over
to her. “Why did youe over?”
Ynda’s head snapped up immediately before she smiled. “I was just passing by yourpany and I
came over to wait for you since I figured that it was almost time for you to clock out. Let’s have dinner
together.”
Without hesitation, William rejected her. “I can’t today since I’ve already promised Matilda to have
dinner together.”
Ynda paused. Although she tried her best to suppress it, her facial expression still changed as she
nodded. “So, you’re meeting her?”
William grunted. “Yes. That’s why I won’t be able to have dinner with you today.”
Then, Ynda stood up. “That’s fine. I’m alright with it anyway. You guys have fun, then. I’ll head home
now.”

After that, William walked out of the hall together with Ynda.
He did not offer to send Ynda home but simply drove away and left, while Ynda stood by the side
of the road and watched as William’s car vanished into the distance.
William would never reject her so firmly in the past. He was always that good man that would do his
best to help others out.
It was normal for him to reject dinner with her like this time, but driving away without giving her any
second nces while she was still standing by the side of the road was something that would have
never happened in the past.
It seemed like William was really adamant on cutting ties with Ynda this time.
The dishes were already served when William reached Logan’s clubhouse and Matilda was the person
he saw the moment he entered the private room.
Matilda was calling someone while she stood next to the window sill in the room. Everyone else was
quiet.
As Matilda was facing the window, she didn’t know that William had reached.
When William stopped at the entrance of the doorway, he overheard Matilda speaking. “I’m slightly
busy right now so I might not be free tonight.”
There was a pause as the person on the other end of the call was probably speaking before Matilda
replied, “I’m not really sure about that as well. Let’s discuss thister on.”
From the way that Matilda spoke, it seemed like she was holding back by being polite. In fact, she
sounded hesitant.
Suddenly, William thought of Richard, so he headed over toward Matilda and spoke up without lowering
his voice. “What’s wrong? Who are you talking to? Let’s go eat dinner now.”
Immediately, Matilda froze and turned toward William while the man grinned with an innocent
expression on his face.
However, Matilda wasn’t angry. She was simply taken aback. After ncing at William, she said into
her phone, “I’m going for dinner now. We will discuss thister.”
Then, the call ended.
