Chapter 325 Ruka’s World Was Turned Upside Down
“What do you think?” he asked Veronica.
She wrapped her arms around his chest and stood in front of him. Looking him in the eyes, Veronica nodded happily, “Not bad. Looks like I have good taste.”
“Are you sure it’s not because I’m attractive?”
Matthew’s thin and moderate lips elicited a slight smile, and his pupils were brimming with adoration.
“You’re such a narcissist.”
The man looked good in anything but he was completely narcissistic, leaving everyone speechless.
“Hello, do you have any high-end men’s professional attire?”
At this fraction of moment, a customer entered the clothing store and spoke with the staff about their requirements.
That voice was very familiar.
Veronica and Matthew then subconsciously turned to the direction of the sound and discovered Ruka standing in the clothing store lobby.
At that point, both parties noticed each other.
“Matthew?”
Ruka approached him and asked inexplicably, “Why are you here?”
“Bullsh*t! What else can one do here apart from shopping?”
Hearing that, Veronica couldn’t help but snort and refute when she remembered the ambiguity between Ruka and Matthew.
Fortunately, she was always professional in her work and she purposefully wore a voice changer microphone, or she would be exposed right now.
“You…”
Ruka frowned, her gaze fixed on the unruly man in front of her.
She had been in Bloomstead for a long time, but she had never seen this person, let alone know that Matthew had such a friend.
“Matthew, is this… your friend?” Ruka inquired.
“Will I take him shopping if he isn’t?”
Isn’t that obvious?
Her questions were all meaningless.
Veronica’s unhappiness was visible to Matthew.
He didn’t think she was reckless after seeing her reaction. Instead, he sensed jealousy, and it made him very happy.
Sensing the dandy man’s provocation, Ruka sneered and politely replied, “I’m not sure what your relationship is with Matthew, but I’m guessing you have no idea that he wouldn’t shop at such cheap stores. All of his clothes are personally designed by Castron’s chief designer, Millie Bob, and each one is one-of-a-kind.”
Despite being a high-end brand, Giorgio Armani fell short of Matthew’s expectations.
The staff member who overheard Ruka suddenly came to a realization.
It was no surprise that they didn’t see any logos on that handsome and well-dressed gentleman’s clothes. It turned out that all of his clothes were custom-made.
Moreover, it was designed by none other than Millie Bob, Castron’s chief designer.
Veronica was obviously embarrassed by this sentence.
She happened to be out, which was why they went shopping and she dragged Matthew along with her. She had already decided to shop in the mall’s high-end section. Surprisingly, Matthew’s clothing was even more expensive and had to be designed by the designer herself.
For a long moment, she was at a loss for words.
“You don’t have to listen to her. The shirt you picked for me is very comfortable and fits well. It appeals to me greatly.”
How could Matthew possibly be putting Veronica at a disadvantage?
“I want this item. Please get me a new one,” he said as he waved to the staff.
“Uh… I’m very sorry, sir. This is the only one left, and it is currently out of stock.” The staff approached him and apologized.
This time, Veronica was even more speechless.
“Forget it, then. If there’s no stock, let’s leave,” Veronica said helplessly with a defeated expression.
“Now that’s the way. How can Matthew purchase clothes that have been tried on by others?”
Ruka spoke coldly and occasionally glanced at this man with short silver-gray hair. She had the impression she had never seen him before, but he seemed strangely familiar.
Matthew had mysophobia, so him willing to try on clothes that others had tried on was a massive change.
Not to mention that it was a piece of clothing with no stock left.
Despite his resistance, Matthew couldn’t help but feel a little distressed when he saw Veronica’s disappointed expression.
“It’s okay. I’ll just take it back and wash it,” he said immediately.
“Forget it,” Veronica grumbled. “Don’t buy it if it’s out of stock.”
“I don’t care. I like whatever you pick for me,” he said, smiling softly with glittering eyes.
Ruka’s eyes widened inconceivably upon hearing Matthew’s words.
She stared at him, then at the man with short silver-gray hair, who couldn’t stop clutching his bag tightly. Her gaze darted back and forth between the two of them.
“Matthew… You… The two of you…”
It was too much for Ruka to handle.
She could clearly sense Matthew’s attraction to this man.
His loving gaze was proof that he was madly in love with the man.
Ruka hesitated for a long time before finally asking, “What’s going on between the two of you?”
Standing on her toes, Veronica raised her hands and wrapped her arms around Matthew’s neck. “Are you blind? Can’t you tell the nature of my relationship with him? What makes you think you know him better than I do?” she asked Ruka, her chin raised in arrogance.
Matthew’s attention was drawn to Veronica’s arrogant and smug demeanor. He could not help the wide grin on his handsome face and his entire body was refreshed, suddenly feeling as warm as the gentle sun in spring.
He had never seen this side of her.
Ruka’s thoughts were jumbled, and she bit her lower lip angrily, exclaiming, “Matthew, I thought you liked Veronica? How could you possibly be in a… relationship with a man? This is impossible! How could you possibly fall in love with a man? This cannot be true!”
Ruka shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with loss and despair.
If Matthew liked Veronica, Ruka could still fight for him as she was a woman as well; however, if he liked men…
Then she wasn’t going to stand a chance!
Veronica, by chance, had the same thought. If Ruka mistakenly believes that Matthew is interested in men, will she retreat and avoid him in the future?
At that thought, Veronica didn’t care about what Matthew had to say.
She wrapped her arm around his shoulder. Raising her other hand slightly to pinch Matthew’s cheeks, she turned to face him.
Veronica then leaned over and kissed Matthew on the lips without looking at him.
The peck was a light as a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
With that, Veronica looked at Ruka and asked, “Is this clear enough?”
“F*ck!”
“Oh my god! Am I seeing things? I saw that man kissing the other man!”
“This is so hot! It looks straight out from the movies!”
“This is just too hot to handle!”
“Goodness, what is going on?”
…
Another uproar erupted when several staff members standing nearby saw the presumptuous man with short silver-gray hair domineeringly kissing the cold president, who was in his arms.
