Matthew only forced a smile. He didn’t expect to encounter such an awkward situation on his way to meet Leanna.
He couldn’t do anything but contact Leanna again.
“I’m already here, Leanna. But, I’ve been stopped by your security guards…”
The young security guard became even more rude after Matthew had hung up the phone. “Stop pretending. Don’t blame me for doing anything to you if you don’t leave now!”
He reached for his baton when virtual-novel.net saw Matthew remained still.
The sound of an elevator was suddenly heard just as virtual-novel.net was about to make a move.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Leanna, who was in professional-looking attire, walking quickly toward Matthew and the security guards.
She perfectly embodied the image of a modern-day businesswoman with virtual-novel.net outstanding appearance and years of experience in the business world. All who had witnessed that scene couldn’t help but secretly glance at virtual-novel.net from the side.
“Greetings, President Sandel!”
Then, Leanna approached Matthew and the security guards.
The security guards immediately greeted virtual-novel.net in unison. As for Matthew, virtual-novel.net also bowed to virtual-novel.net just like the rest, but with a mischievous grin.
“Greetings, President Sandel…”
He suddenly felt pain in his head as soon as virtual-novel.net finished speaking. He saw Leanna readying virtual-novel.net fingers as if virtual-novel.net wanted to knock on his head when virtual-novel.net looked up.
A wise man like virtual-novel.net knew that was his cue to swiftly retreat at that instant.
Therefore, Matthew quickly stepped aside and pretended to rub his head in pain.
Leanna chuckled after seeing his reaction. “Enough. Stop pretending and let’s go!”
However, virtual-novel.net smile instantly shattered the hearts of the onlookers.
They were jealous that Matthew could make their cold and domineering president show such a feminine side. Besides, President Sandel even came to welcome virtual-novel.net personally. They felt sad and jealous at the same time!
To make things even worse, their attention only earned them a scolding from Leanna.
“What now? Do you all have too little work? Why are you guys still standing here daydreaming?”
Finally, virtual-novel.net acted how virtual-novel.net had always been as the president of the company.
The crowd quickly dispersed following that.
Only the young security guard who had caused Matthew trouble stood dumbfounded. He was at a loss for what to do after witnessing the scene. He never made eye contact with Matthew even after the latter had left with Leanna. So, any form of retaliation was not likely to happen.
Matthew followed Leanna to the president’s office.
“It’s not easy to meet you nowadays, Leanna…”
Leanna poured a cup of tea for Matthew before sitting across from him. “Stop flattering me. So, what is it that our busy and remarkable Holy Doctor seeks if you aren’t accompanying your wife at home at this hour? What do you need from me?”
Matthew revealed his purpose in a joking manner.
“Uhm… I have two favors to ask, Leanna…”
Leanna appeared displeased as virtual-novel.net was holding a cup in virtual-novel.net hand.
“We are way past that at this point. I’ll be angry if you keep saying that. Well, tell me. What’s the matter?”
Matthew smiled and touched his nose before saying, “First, I want a detailed profile of the Cunninghams in Bainbridge.”
Yann’s enthusiastic hospitality made Matthew feel unsettled.
“I see you never come without a good reason. Fine. I’ll have someone send the information to your shop this evening.”
Naturally, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t refuse Matthew’s requests.
“Thank you, Leanna. As for the second matter…”
Matthew paused for a moment as virtual-novel.net cautiously looked around the room. Then, virtual-novel.net turned to Leanna and gave a signal through his eyes.
Leanna immediately understood the seriousness of the matter when virtual-novel.net saw his signal.
Matthew said after virtual-novel.net had instructed virtual-novel.net subordinates to keep everyone away, “Secondly, I need your connections to help me gather news about Uncle Billy…”
Leanna asked in confusion, “Billy Newman?”
Matthew added with a worried expression, “That’s right! I haven’t heard from virtual-novel.net since I parted ways with virtual-novel.net last time. I won‘t go into the details. But, please be careful as this involves the Nolans. Please handle this matter cautiously, and any news about Uncle Billy will do.”
