Chapter 138
“No.” Matthew took the glass directly from her hand, turned, and left the study.
He returned to his bedroom to take a shower and prepare to rest, but he was still a little worried that that stupid woman, Veronica, would fall asleep in the study.
.
Sure enough, when he appeared at the door of the study in his pajamas, Veronica was sprawled on the table, sound asleep.
Matthew walked up to her, intending to take her back to her bedroom. However, in the end, he chose not to do so, and went to get a blanket and covered her instead. It was getting cold, and it was easy to catch a cold if she didn‘t cover up when she slept.
Veronica was deep asleep and the game was still open on the computer. However, although she fell asleep on the table with her headphones on, the noise did not wake her up at all.
Matthew turned off the computer and helped her lean on the chair. He pressed a button, and the chair was tilted 45 degrees backward into the perfect sleeping position.

Although sleeping here wasn‘t very comfortable, Matthew knew that after she left Bloomstead, no one would be around to take care of her every day, so she still had to adapt to some things by herself.
As he gazed at the sleeping woman, he noticed that she seemed to be troubled. Her brows remained furrowed with worry even as she slept. Matthew squatted in front of her and stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, gently smoothing her eyebrows. After a while, he got up and left the study after turning off the light.
The next day, Veronica woke up in the study. As she walked toward the living room, she smelled a familiar aroma. Her eyes lit up, and she walked to the kitchen. Sure enough, Matthew was making porridge. “Morning. What kind of porridge did you make today?”
The handsome man was wearing a black shirt, he was radiant with a big back, and he was surrounded by a plaid apron in front of him. Nothing seemed out of place, and he looked very grounded.
“Shrimp porridge.” Matthew spoke to her a little more gently.
“It smells good, but…” Veronica touched her nose and smiled. “Why do you only cook
porridge and not anything else?”
“Because I don‘t want to.”
“Oh, if you don‘t know how to, just say so. You don‘t have to say you don‘t want to.” Veronica curled her lips and grinned at him. “I‘m going to brush my teeth.”
“Go ahead.” He responded, and saw Veronica hopping out of the kitchen and returning to the bedroom.
As she was young and at the age to be energetic, she should be as lively as this, living life without a care in the world.
Ten minutes later, Yvonne and Veronica sat in the dining room, waiting for their breakfast.
Matthew carried two servings of porridge on a tray and walked over and put them on the table, one in front of Veronica and the other in front of him.
Veronica was taken aback. She raised her gaze to him and asked, “Where‘s Yvonne‘s?”
D
“I only made two servings.” Matthew didn‘t even look at Yvonne, as if she didn‘t exist.
Yvonne was a little embarrassed by this situation. She shook her head. “It‘s okay. You guys enjoy yourselves. I‘ll just go out and buy some breakfast.”
“All right.”
“Why are you buying food when we have food at home? How wasteful.”
As soon as Matthew finished speaking, Veronica ignored him and said to Yvonne, pushing his breakfast in front of Yvonne, “Give it a try. It‘s delicious.”
“Uh… l–It‘s alright.” Yvonne waved her hand repeatedly. “This is Young Master Matthew‘s food. How can I eat it?”
“Miss Spencer, haven‘t you found a place to stay yet?” Matthew sat opposite them, his eyes baring into Yvonne as he questioned.
His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her soul, and they sent a chill crawling down Yvonne‘s spine. Yvonne hastily turned to look at Veronica, requesting for backup.
Seeing the “shining” rich woman, Veronica dared not offend her, so she looped an arm around Yvonne‘s neck and said to Matthew, “Bro, I would like to introduce you
to my good friend, Yvonne. As the owner of a cosmetics company, she would like to collaborate with your company. We have such a good relationship, and you‘re my brother, which makes you my friend‘s brother too. Shouldn‘t you give it some thought?”
She would be leaving Bloomstead in a few days, so she had to settle Yvonne‘s affairs quickly. Otherwise, she wouldn‘t be able to get Yvonne‘s money.
Matthew didn‘t speak and only sat opposite them with his hands around his chest, his expression serious and arrogant. Normally, he would have refused immediately, but when he looked at Veronica‘s flattering smile, he could see through her schemes at a glance.
The next moment, he got up and left.

“Hello? Bro? Matthew, don‘t go: We‘re all a family, aren‘t we? Can‘t you help Yvonne out?” Veronica was thinking Matthew declined her request and left angrily.

However, he took something out of the bar counter drawer and turned back to the dining room, placing a business card in front of Yvonne. “Provide your company‘s various qualifications, and contact my assistant directly.”
Yvonne was stunned as she looked at the embossed business card in front of her for a moment before she immediately stood up and nodded at Matthew. “Thank you, Young Master Matthew.” =
“Haha, you‘re amazing, Matthew. But… when are you going to sign the contract with Yvonne?” Veronica asked with an expectant expression.
“It‘s alright. I‘m not in a hurry at all,” Yvonne said with a smile,
“You shut up!” Veronica glared at her fiercely. Her words seemed to mean, You‘re not in a hurry, but can‘t you see that I‘m leaving Bloomstead? I‘m in a hurry!
The man put his hands in his pockets and stood upright, looking down at Veronica. “In your opinion, when is the best time to sign a contract?”
“Um… let me think about it…” She tilted her head, touched her chin with her fingers, and thought very seriously. “I think five days, no… Five days is too long. Three… Two days is fine. In fact, your company is so close that she can provide you with all the qualifications and information today. You can sign the contract today.”
When Yvonne heard Veronica‘s words, she couldn‘t help being frightened. “Haha, you… Aren‘t you being too hasty?” She stretched out her hand and pulled the corner
of Veronica‘s clothes, leaning in front of her to whisper, “Generally, signing a contract requires a procedure. How can it be completed in one day?”
What was more, they were just an unknown small company.
“What procedures?”
“This is a company regulation, so it‘s better to follow the rules.”
“What rules? The company belongs to my brother, so of course, he‘s in charge of everything. His words are the ‘rules!”
Veronica couldn‘t wait for Matthew to sign a contract with Yvonne so that she could get 3.5 million in “benefits” and go home to start a business.
“That‘s not,”
Just when Yvonne was about to explain the process to Veronica, Matthew‘s thin lips parted, and he said lightly, “Sure.”
His short answer shocked Yvonne, but Veronica smacked the table and pointed to him, saying proudly to Yvonne, “Look, I just said that my brother is the best. I gotta let everyone know how amazing he is!” |
“Haha.” Yvonne laughed stiffly. “Yes, yes, Young Master Matthew is amazing.” If Matthew wasn‘t amazing, I wouldn‘t be here trying to secure a collaboration with him.
“So, Miss Spencer, can you leave now?”
