    Was that all?


    Although Matthew was slow when it came to romance, he was not that naive. Of course, he knew what the woman meant by ''get to know him.''


    Her tone and actions made Matthew feel ufortable. What got on his nerves the most was her strained voice.


    She still acted as though Matthew had mistreated her, which only fueled his irritation.


    Seeing as the woman was on the verge of tears with a flushed face, Matthew said coldly, "If that''s all you have to say, I''m leaving."


    Matthew felt that he had been polite enough. Surely, she would note and bother him again. Yet, he was proven wrong-very wrong. He had underestimated her limits and overestimated his patience.


    "Mr. Leon, I just want to talk to you and get to know you better. Why are you leaving so soon?"


    Her hand was creeping toward his chest.


    Matthew was in one of the private rooms at the venue. It was dimly lit and tucked away in an isted corner, but that did not mean that no one woulde by.


    What if someone saw them? What would he tell Lucy if she found out? Was this woman ying games with him?


    "Get away from me!"


    Matthew pushed the woman''s greedy hand away.


    Taken aback by his actions, the woman was choked with tears. "Mr. Leon, I didn''t mean any harm. I just wanted to..."


    "Be friends? You and I both know what''s really going on here."


    She pretended not to understand while her hand inched toward the inside of his suit jacket. She would have reached his waistband if Matthew had not retreated in time.


    Seeing this woman''s audacity, Matthew realized he had been too polite.


    After getting caught red-handed, the woman escaped with her tail between her legs.


    The encounter left Matthew feeling frustrated. He adjusted his tie, trying to regain hisposure.


    Dealing with situations like this was far more bothersome than managingpany affairs.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    After having a moment to calm himself down, Matthew nned to go find Lucy. Just then, another woman appeared, causing him to curse in his heart incessantly.


    "Matthew, I knew you''d be here. Good thing I''m not toote," Samantha said while fanning herself with her hand as if she had run over there. Matthew thought to himself, ''You arete. Many people have already left.''


    “I have other matters to attend to, so if you''ll excuse me...”


    Lucy should already be done chatting with that designer named Koven by now. He could not leave her waiting. Matthew would feel unsettled if he did not see Lucy for even a moment.


    Samantha was not going to let him get away. She had much more guts than the woman from earlier. Good thing she was not wearing a long gown today, or else Matthew would have slipped through her fingers.

    She was worried that he might leave at any moment, so she pleaded, “Matthew, can''t you stay here for a little while longer? Your mother will be here soon."


    His mother wasing? What was she here for? Did shee to stir up trouble again? Matthew felt a headacheing on. Why did she have toe at this time and make things difficult for him?


    "If she wants toe, fine. But I have somewhere to be right now."


    Matthew left without hearing the rest of what Samantha had to say.
