Inwardly, Clarissa was making all sorts of faces at the man.
Matthew really has the weirdest fetishes.
She could not bear to look him in the eye.
She wanted to curse and swear but the reality was that she was being pinned down like a little child and she could not move an inch.
Clarissa had no room to struggle and could only admit her mistakes submissively.
“I know, I know, I’m wrong.”
Her face was flushed. It was the ultimate humiliation for her to be in this position, and to apologize this way.
Seeing how Matthew was silent, Clarissa turned to look at the man, her neck hurting when she turned.
“I know my mistake, so please let me go. Also, the sandwich will go stale if you still don’t eat it.”
Matthew’s dark eyes swept across her flushed face and slowly wandered down her back, her waist, and downwards…
Just when his hand was about to take action, Clarissa suddenly grabbed it.
“Y-you… Stop messing around! I’m not a child. If you cross the line, I’ll really get angry!”
A glint flashed across Matthew’s eyes and he smiled slightly, but he did not continue his actions.
Still trembling, Clarissa said, “Uncle Matthew, no matter how angry you are, you should still eat something first, alright? If you don’t eat and suffer from gastric pain later, I… I’ll feel bad.”
Although her words sounded a bit too distant for Matthew’s taste, they still made him very happy.
“You’ll feel bad for me?”
Clarissa remained silent.
Nonetheless, Matthew still released her. She immediately sprang away the moment she regained freedom. She maintained a distance from him with a gloomy expression on her face.
“Shall we eat?”
Matthew followed her to the dining room and sat down for dinner.
They were completely silent throughout, and Clarissa felt relieved. She noticed that it was getting late and it was not too safe for her to return to her apartment.
In the end, she went to the room that was prepared for her quietly before taking a bath and changing her clothes. After changing, she thought, this should be it for tonight, right?
As it turned out, she was being too naive.
Clarissa was sitting in the living room because Matthew said, “It’s either I sit in your room, or you accompany me in the living room.” She chose the latter without hesitation.
“Didn’t you say that you’ve found a job that is not in Tyson Corporation?”
Here it comes!
He won’t let me off so easily this time!
Clarissa feigned innocence and smiled. “I was just at Tyson Corporation today.”
He scoffed. “Is that so…”
Look at her lying to my face!
A glint flashed through Matthew’s dark eyes. “When did you start? Do you want me to check with the HR department first?”
“There’s no need for that… You are so busy after all. This is just a small matter and you don’t need to trouble yourself with it.”
“Small matter? When it comes to your matters, Clare, it is never a small matter.”
This kind of flirtatious talk came easily to Matthew, and Clarissa wondered how many women he had said these words to.
She looked down and smiled to herself.
“Alright, I’ve been working at Tyson Corporation from the start, and Ellie’s the one who got me into the company. I’ve told you that I am there to experience corporate life. However, I didn’t spread the rumors. The other employees did. All I did was listen, I did not participate in the chatter at all,” she quickly clarified her position.
“Besides, won’t it be good for me to know about all this gossip? I could tell you all that I have heard, and you can find out more about the company’s internal secrets.”
I am sacrificing myself to be a spy now. He should be satisfied, right?
“No need for that!”
Clarissa’s enthusiasm immediately diminished.
She stuck out her tongue secretly and replied, “Fine by me!”
Matthew spoke again, “There is no use looking for Ellie if you want to come to my company for an internship, Clare. I never agreed to it.”
Clarissa looked up in shock. “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, since I don’t agree to this, you will have to leave. Of course, that would also mean that if I agree to it, you can choose any position in any department within Tyson Corporation. In fact, I can even give you access to some private and confidential information within the company.”
Oh my!
What he’s proposing sounds quite tempting!
However, she knew very well that there was no free lunch in this world.
Fine, I’ll just stop going in.
Clarissa gritted her teeth and said. “In that case, I won’t go to Tyson Corporation tomorrow then.”
Clarissa got up huffily and was about to return to her room.
“Now that you have been in Tyson Corporation for a few days, it’s not so easy for you to just leave. Who knows, you could’ve been a business spy sent over by the enemy. Also, you could expose our business secrets in your book. All these would require investigation.”
He’s threatening me!
He’s clearly threatening me!
Clarissa was forced to stop in her tracks. When she turned around, her large eyes were glaring daggers at Matthew.
“I’m just a simple errand girl and I have no access to company secrets.”
“Is that so? You are printing and shredding documents while moving between departments every day. All these actions look suspicious.”
“You know full well that I’m not that kind of person.”
“Oh?”
Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Clare, what kind of person are you? I’m not too sure.”
“Matthew Tyson!”
Clarissa spat his name out through her clenched teeth and said, “Don’t cross the line!”
“I have every reason to be suspicious. Are you really not choosing the better internship experience that I am providing to you?”
Matthew relaxed and leaned against the sofa lazily. His fingers supported his head while he looked at Clarissa with a faint knowing smile on his face.
“Clare, you’re a smart girl. I think you know very well which one to choose.”
Clarissa was about to explode with anger.
You despicable, shameless, a**hole…
She was already silently cursing Matthew.
Her beautiful little face looked a little contorted, but Matthew merely looked at her with amusement and a growing smile on his face.
“Cursing me silently? That’s worse!”
“I…” D*mn!
Clarissa was forced to swallow her pride and had to return to sit stiffly next to Matthew.
“Uncle Matthew, please, I beg you, could you allow me into Tyson Corporation for some work experience please?”
She sounded a little cold and looked a little stiff.
“Fail!”
With a fake smile on her face, Clarissa looked at Matthew and put her face close to him.
“Uncle Matthew, please?”
“I’ll think about it!”
“You don’t have to…”
Clarissa reached out and tugged Matthew’s arm with a wider smile and a softer voice.
Matthew stared at Clarissa’s face and her smile. Just when her blush spread across her face, Matthew suddenly bent down and attacked her lips, much to her shock.
It was a fierce and passionate kiss.
Clarissa was defenseless and could only give in slowly.
After days apart, all Matthew wanted was to kiss this little woman passionately and to consume every ounce of her.
He had been thinking about this for too long. As such, he couldn’t hold back.
However, Clarissa’s senses returned and she bit his lips in an attempt to resist his advances. She had a feeling that she will be punished by this man that night.
Matthew released Clarissa reluctantly. She immediately pushed him away and crawled to the other end of the room to keep herself away from him.
Of course, she did not leave the room. Since he had already taken advantage of her, she wanted to avenge being kiss.
Blushing, she wiped her lips and found Matthew’s scent filled her nostrils.
“Do you agree now?”
Clarissa’s eyes met Matthew’s dark ones as she struggled to suppress her shyness.
As for Matthew, he remained unchanged and looked like he could pounce on her at any moment to eat her up.
“You… Stop staring.”
Clarissa could not help but whine in objection until Matthew smiled.
“Alright!”
Clarissa immediately asked, “That means you’ve agreed, right? You are allowing me to have my work experience in Tyson Corporation, right? May I go to a few departments to have a look then? I promise that I will not give you any trouble, all I want is to gain more understanding.”
“You can stay at Tyson Corporation, but there are limitations as to which department, what you can do, and how much you can explore. Which department would you like to go to first?”
Clarissa did not realize that she had stepped into a larger trap.
She thought and said, “Can I go to the marketing department first?”
“Sure!”
“That’s great…”
“Ten kisses!”
Clarissa fell silent instantly and had the urge to slap his face.
“Ten kisses are nothing. The marketing department is a very important part of our company. Of course, if you wanted to go to the logistics department, it’d cost one simple kiss. Either that or six kisses for the design department…”
“Can you be anymore shameless?”
“Shameless?”
Matthew was not even angry at her accusation. “Clare, I’ve never been on the losing end of a deal. Everything I do is for the sake of Tyson Corporation, and I will not do something that does not benefit my company.
“This is for your personal benefits.”
“But of course, as the president who is so busy and works so hard every day, I should get some benefits for myself. I can only bring more good to the company if I am physically and mentally well.
“Clare?”
“I’ll just go to the cleaning department, alright?”
“Cleaning department?”
Matthew thought for a while and said, “Sure, the cleaning department is the most important department in the entire company, as it involves all the staff, including the senior management and myself, the boss. Also, they are in control of the company’s important information. Clare, you’ve chosen the best department, so…”
“So what?”
“Come to the room with me!”
“You wish!”
Clarissa exploded and jumped to her feet before she ran back into her room.
She finally understood that she could never win when it came to Matthew.
She was here for the sole purpose of being oppress by him.
She hid under her covers and gritted her teeth as she relieved her anger by replaying an imaginary scene of beating up Matthew badly.
Just you wait, Matthew, one day…
One day what?
Clarissa’s thoughts came to an abrupt stop and she snorted.
