Chapter 205 Pass out


    After Jim was dragged away, it was very quiet in the room. nca and Matthew looked at each other.


    They got to awkward silence for a moment, and then nca first spoke. “Let’s talk about that,” she said


    calmly. What just happened here was partially her fault. She had known Jim had a thing for her, but she


    let her guard down in front of him.


    Matthew raised an eyebrow, looking mildly surprised. He sat down on a couch and cross his legs. “Go


    ahead.” said Matthew, looking extremely grave.


    Looking at Matthew, nca seemed almost nervous for she knew he was good at negotiation. She


    cleared her throat and summoned the courage to say, “I think you haven’t forgot our rtionship,


    Matthew! I help you keep away from blind dates and you help me find my family. This is our


    rtionship.”


    “Yes. And then?” Matthew said, impassive.


    “So, as agreed, there is something you need to do. Louise asked rk to take away my pendant. You


    need to get it back.” nca got angry when she came to think about it. The pendant was the only


    evidence she had for her family, but just when she found maybe Mr. Butler know something about her


    pendant, Louise took it away. That girl destroyed everything.


    “Bring it back?” Matthew asked.


    “Yes!”


    Actually, Matthew had already taken action to get the pendant back, but he didn’t he tell her the truth,


    for the cold expression on nca’s face made him ufortable. “Why would I do you any favors,


    nca? You really think you are somebody, huh?”


    nca’s face changed a little. She was very upset by his words, but she struggled to hide her


    emotions. “I know I am nothing. But we have made a deal, and you must fulfill your duty. The pendant


    is a key piece of evidence.”

    nca sat up straight and fixed her eye on Matthew, with something unyielding in her face. Matthew


    was very quiet for a minute and then he nodded. “OK! I promise. I’m going to take care of this and get


    back your pendant, but I’ll do it on one condition.”


    “Go on.”


    Matthew leaned forward and stared at nca. “I want you to stay away from Peter,” he said slowly and


    clearly.


    nca froze for an instant. Then she felt thirsty. She got out of bed and walked to a table. After


    drinking a lot of water, she turned to Matthew and said, “That’s too much to ask, Matthew! I can’t


    promise you.”


    “Always remember who you are, nca! You are my wife! You are Mrs. Grant! If you be Peter’s


    assistant, you will embarrass the whole Grant family!” Matthew stood up, looking very grumpy. He


    walked over to nca and continued, “I’m aware of your ns, nca! You’re trying to seduce Peter


    and then look for an opportunity to know Mr. Butler. Am I right?” Just thinking about her adoring eyes


    when she looked at Peter, Matthew got jealous. He didn’t want to lose nca, and he had to stop them


    getting closer.


    “You’re taking this wrong, Matthew! We’re just friends.”


    “Prove it, then, stay away from him!”


    nca opened her mouth, but closed it without speaking. She felt sick, just like her tequ churning in


    her belly. When Matthew came closer to her, she could bear it no longer. She threw up and vomited all


    over Matthew.


    Matthew, standing there, covered in vomit, was livid with rage, but before he blew up at nca, she


    passed out.
