Demi spat and said, “Of course virtual-novel.net knows! But that’s what virtual-novel.net likes. Don’t you know that these strong career women like to keep a toy boy?”
Frowning, Sasha chided, “That’s enough, Demi! What are you speaking about?”
“Did I say anything wrong?” virtual-novel.net snapped back immediately. “Look at how she’s throwing glances at Matthew! Only you can take this, Sasha. I would have chased virtual-novel.net away if I were in your shoes!”
“Watch your tongue, Demi Cunningham,” Matthew warned with knitted brows. “It’s fine for you to insult me, but President Sandel might not be so civil to you if virtual-novel.net learns about this!”
The look on Demi’s face fell; although virtual-novel.net wasn’t afraid of Matthew, it didn’t mean that virtual-novel.net wasn’t afraid of Leanna, too. Turning to Sasha hurriedly, virtual-novel.net uttered, “Sasha, look at him. He’s feeling guilty…”
“Shut up.” Sasha cut virtual-novel.net off curtly. “I trust Matthew! President Sandel is grateful to virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net did virtual-novel.net a big favor before, and they’re just friends. Don’t bring this up anymore!”
Demi pouted virtual-novel.net lips and muttered something under virtual-novel.net breath, appearing to be very defiant at the situation.
On the other hand, Jonah and the rest stared at Matthew fixedly with envy. Despite what Sasha had just said, they were no fools. What sort of friends were they that virtual-novel.net would buy virtual-novel.net a Romanee Conti worth millions? Furthermore, when they thought about it carefully, Leanna’s eyes were on Matthew most of the time earlier.
For a woman, virtual-novel.net would only pay that much attention to a person that virtual-novel.net liked.
‘Leanna definitely has a liking for Matthew!’ Jonah thought, filled with jealousy.
The moment Leanna entered the room, virtual-novel.net was deeply attracted to her. Thinking that virtual-novel.net returned from abroad and had a high status, virtual-novel.net assumed that it would be a piece of cake to make virtual-novel.net his. However, it just dawned on virtual-novel.net that the gap between them was simply too massive. In addition, and more importantly, virtual-novel.net actually adored this live-in son-in-law whom virtual-novel.net looked down on. How could virtual-novel.net take this lying down?
Meanwhile, Chloe’s eyes brightened up as virtual-novel.net chuckled and said, “Matthew, you’re really good friends with President Sandel, I see. Then could you please speak with virtual-novel.net so she’ll sign the contract with your Uncle Jonah’s company and seal the deal for this project? As you know, Jonah came back this time as the general manager, and virtual-novel.net needs to prove some sales results to his boss. It’ll make virtual-novel.net look good if he’s able to get this contract.”
Frowning, Matthew replied, “Aunt Chloe, I’m afraid this isn’t up to me to decide. I’m only friends with President Sandel and can’t interfere with the operations of virtual-novel.net company!”
“Well, it’s not such a big deal, is it? It’s just a contract that virtual-novel.net has to sign with someone in the end. Also, as the general manager of a company, will your Uncle Jonah set you up? We’re a family, after all, and you don’t want your uncle to lose face, right?” Chloe argued.
‘She’s totally subjecting me to moral coercion!’ Matthew thought with unease. ‘I’ll make Uncle Jonah look bad if I don’t help out? What kind of logic is this? You were just ganging up together to insult me earlier, and I have to make you look good now?’
In a slow and relaxed tone, virtual-novel.net said, “Aunt Chloe, there shouldn’t be any questions with your abilities since you all returned from abroad, and I believe that President Sandel will definitely sign the contract with you based on that. There’s no need for a country bumpkin like me to be involved in something like this.”
In an instant, blood rushed to Chloe’s face as virtual-novel.net recalled how virtual-novel.net showed off virtual-novel.net superiority to Matthew earlier.
‘How embarrassing!’ She cried to herself.
If they had known that Matthew and Leanna were such close friends, they wouldn’t have had the guts to blow their own trumpets in front of him.
