Chapter 29 Wait For Me To Come Back


    nca’s scalp tingled and she shook her head furiously.


    Having to deal with this narcissist businessman every morning and night was enough. Facing him


    every single day was a prospect that gave her goosebumps.


    Mary looked at Matthew as he whispered with nca, their heads together, as if nobody else was


    around, feeling a surge of hateful envy, clenching her jaws so hard she almost shattered her


    mandibles.


    But it was fine, she told herself. Even if Matthew didn’t like her now, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t like her


    going forward. So long as she stayed by his side, she still had a shot!


    She was just about to ask more about the payment when she heard Matthew call out, “Miss Robinson,


    my secretary will get in touch with you about the payment.”


    Then Matthew took nca’s hand and returned to the office.


    Leaving behind his gaping subordinates. Mary and Lisa were boiling mad.


    Back at the office, nca asked right away – “Is my outfit really worth a hundred K?”


    “Yeah.”


    Matthew’s reply was mild. “What about it?”


    nca was speechless. What about it her foot!


    “Why did you buy me something that expensive?!” nca wore a confused question mark on her face.


    Matthew frowned. “I’m free to spend my money however I want, aren’t I?”


    “…”


    There was no arguing with this guy.


    Well, since he’d said that, nca just stopped worrying about the money for him. She was still angry


    with him after all.


    “What, are you angry with me just because I bought you expensive clothes?” Looking at the irritated


    look the woman wore, it didn’t seem like she was joking, and Matthew grew a bit bemused as well.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    nca took a deep breath. “That’s not it!”


    What she was thinking right now was – he might have protected her and dealt with the matter fairly, but


    she had to worry about his judgement of character.


    That Lisa had gone too far! Deliberately backing up everything Mary tried, and Matthew hadn’t even


    seen a thing!


    Well, just thinking about it was enough. nca didn’t like to talk behind others’ backs. If she hadn’t


    been so angry today, she wouldn’t have put Mary in the crosshairs with Matthew.


    Besides, she felt that even though Lisa was despicable, she should have been capable enough if she


    was staying by Matthew’s side. nca also knew that her rtionship with Matthew was just for the


    contract. What kind of secretaries and subordinates he had didn’t have much to do with her.


    nca didn’t go on and she extricated her hand from Matthew’s. “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”


    Matthew tugged her in ce, though. “Wait.”


    She was about to ask what it was when he took his suit jacket andid it on nca’s shoulders. The


    broad suit just managed to cover the stain on nca’s dress.


    nca had been about to refuse, but when she thought about it, it wasn’t too good to walk out all


    grimy. She was the wife of the head of the Empire Group now, and she had her image to consider.


    “All right, I’m off.”


    “Okay.” Matthew stuffed her phone into her hand and gave her a little rap on the head. “Klutzy and


    forgetful.”


    nca looked up, annoyed as she rubbed her forehead and red unhappily at Matthew. “That hurt,


    Grant!”


    Matthew’s lips curved up into a smile. “I’ming back for dinner tonight. Wait for me.”
