Chapter 42 You’re My Wife


    After lunch, Matthew didn’t make nca stay.


    After walking out the office, Lisa brought nca out. This time, nca heard clearly what the others


    were saying about her.


    “Is this the rumored Mrs. Chairman? She doesn’t give off adylike aura at all…”


    “Yeah, why’d the chairman take a shine to such a person?”


    “Didn’t you see the magazine today? The chairman even went on a date with her in the morning, and


    she was wearing just that!”


    Hearing the swell of public opinion, nca’s footsteps slowed.


    Getting into the elevator, Lisa slid in as well just before the doors closed.


    nca greeted Lisa with a well-trained gesture. “Good afternoon, Miss Anderson.”


    “…good afternoon.” Lisa hesitated, then showed a professional smile. “Don’t mind thosements


    from earlier, Mrs. Grant. The chairman’s young and charming, and colleagues in the office tend to


    fantasize about him. Now that their fantasies have shattered, they’re attacking you for it.”


    That did make sense.


    After all, Matthew wasn’t just one of the most eligible bachelors in Oakshire, he also held a whole city’s


    economic lifeline in his hands. With such an excellent specimen, everyone might have been better off if


    he’d stayed single.


    Now a random pedestrian like her had just snatched him up, so of course the masses were furious!


    “So that’s what it is. Then, Miss Anderson – do you look Matthew as well?”


    “Oh? That’s…” Lisa didn’t think that nca would just say that out of nowhere, and hurriedly exined,


    “Since Mr. Grant is so brilliant, as his subordinates, we naturally look up to him. Still, we only admire


    him at work and learn from him; that’s all.”


    nca smiled and didn’t say anything else.


    They were both women and didn’t need to say much. It was clear just from Lisa’s eyes that she had


    Matthew on her mind.


    nca had brought it up deliberately to let her know not to try useless tricks or plots. She might look


    easy to pick on, but she wasn’t a victim.


    On Lisa’s end, she grew a bit hesitant. nca was the wife of the chairman, after all. If Matthew heard

    anything, she’d be done for.


    At that moment, there came a twist!


    “You bitch, nca!”


    Before nca could do anything, there came a loud WHAP and a pnded swiftly across her face.


    Her cheek burned and there came the sound of breaths being sucked in around her.


    “Ma’am…”


    Lisa looked in shock at the mad woman before her, but nca waved her off, wearing a sneer. “I can


    handle this myself.”


    nca touched her face. It was probably swollen.


    She just had to move to feel her skin throb.


    Man, that was a real blow.


    “So you steal my boyfriend ande after me outright? You’ve got some nerve, Kylie!” nca didn’t


    want to make a scene at the Empire Group Building, but she wasn’t about to let herself get walked all


    over!


    Now that Kylie was up and stepping in her foot, there was no reason to just let her at it.


    “You… you bitch, you… You must have done something to Todd that day we met. He hasn’te back


    home for days now! That’s what you are, a bitch!”


    Kylie’s eyes reddened resentfully and she specifically chose words as ugly as possible.
