Upon hearing Philip’s words, the heads of the other eight families came to their senses and stood up one after another to offer their seats to Lucy.
Normally, they would’ve regarded Lucy as a mere starlet whom they could twist around their little fingers. However, not only was Lucy with Matthew last night, but word had it that they had spent the night together, which meant something different. It didn’t matter what Lucy’s relationship with Matthew was. Even if virtual-novel.net were merely his one-night stand, virtual-novel.net wasn’t someone whom they could underestimate. After all, now that Matthew was known as the Lord of Eastshire, a woman who could stay by his side had to be respected by everyone, of course!
Lucy blushed crimson when virtual-novel.net heard how everyone addressed her. Involuntarily, virtual-novel.net thought of what had happened last night. She lowered virtual-novel.net head, saying, “M-Matthew, please come out for a minute. I’d like to have a word with you.”
Matthew frowned slightly. He really didn’t have much to do with the lady, nor did virtual-novel.net want to get too involved with her.
“What’s the matter? Can‘t you tell me about it right here?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Lucy’s face turned red. “Could you come out for a minute, please? I won’t take too much of your time.”
Shaking his head in resignation, Matthew stood up and walked out of the room.
“What’s the matter?” He was somewhat impatient as virtual-novel.net was still displeased after being tongue-lashed by Alyssa just now.
Lucy looked embarrassed as virtual-novel.net whispered, “Uh… I-If you’ve got nothing to do, w-why don’t you go back first?”
Matthew knitted his brows. “Go back? What do you mean?”
With a look of embarrassment. Lucy told virtual-novel.net what Alyssa had just done. Then, virtual-novel.net said in a low voice, “Matthew, I believe you’re a nice person, but o-our boss has an explosive temper. He’s coming over in a minute. a-and virtual-novel.net definitely won’t let it slide. You go back first and try not to run into him. I’ll tell virtual-novel.net the truth when his anger subsides a few days later. I-I’ll definitely not give you trouble. What do you think?”
Her voice took on an imploring tone toward the end of virtual-novel.net sentence.
The furrows in Matthew’s brow gradually eased as virtual-novel.net looked at Lucy.
In reality, virtual-novel.net had some sympathy for this lady. It was difficult for any woman to keep virtual-novel.net nose clean while living in an environment as corrupting as the entertainment industry. Although Lucy kept virtual-novel.net moral integrity, virtual-novel.net was, after all, a weak woman with neither a prominent background nor a strong backing. It was really tough for virtual-novel.net to make virtual-novel.net way through such a difficult situation. If virtual-novel.net were to directly tell virtual-novel.net agency the truth, virtual-novel.net would be done for. So, virtual-novel.net could only tip Matthew off in advance to avoid making things worse. Even though virtual-novel.net didn’t handle the situation well, Matthew at least saw how sincere and kind-hearted virtual-novel.net was.
Actually, Lucy didn‘t really understand the situation. She didn’t know what Matthew was capable of, nor did virtual-novel.net know what the heads of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire represented. Having been under virtual-novel.net agency’s thumb for a long time, virtual-novel.net really believed that virtual-novel.net boss could lord it over others, which was why virtual-novel.net worried about Matthew.
Unbeknownst to her, though, any of those in the room could easily crush the so-called President Abbott to death with just a finger.
How could the owner of an entertainment company be mentioned in the same breath with the top ten distinguished families of Eastshire?
After finishing virtual-novel.net sentence, Lucy hung virtual-novel.net head and rubbed the corners of virtual-novel.net clothes like a kid who had done something wrong. She dared not look at Matthew at all.
Matthew stared at virtual-novel.net for a while. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net asked, “You haven’t eaten, have you?”
Lucy was stunned. ‘Why did virtual-novel.net say this out of the blue?’
Just then, Matthew suddenly turned around. “Come in…”
Lucy looked confused. “Come in? For what?”
Matthew replied, “Let me treat you to dinner and introduce a couple of friends to you.”
Lucy was stunned. ‘Is virtual-novel.net crazy? Why is virtual-novel.net offering to treat me to dinner instead of leaving at a time like this?’
Matthew turned to glance at her. He added with a chuckle, “Didn’t I promise you last night that we’ll get you another talent agent?”
