Chapter 44
At this moment, someone suddenly ran over to the door. It was Matthew’s brother-in-law, Liam. “Dad,
Mom, it’s getting late. Let’s go have lunch,” Liam said joyfully.
Seeing Liam, Helen’s expression eased up. “Have you made the arrangements?”
“Yes. I ordered your favorite Chinese cuisine.” Liam was trying to flatter her.
“Aww, Liam, you’re so sensible. I feel more relieved with you in the company from now on!” Helen
nodded in satisfaction. “Dear, let’s go. Let’s have lunch!”
James put down the files without even looking at Matthew or showed consideration for his feelings.
With hands behind his back, James left with Liam and Helen with an arrogant look on his face.
Matthew was annoyed. I’m also their son-in-law, but my presence was an embarrassment to them,
while Liam was praised as being sensible. The difference in treatment is too huge! However, he had
long been used to these. Liam loved to flatter them, so James and Helen liked him a lot. To Matthew,
none of these matter; the most important thing was Sasha’s attitude toward him.
Suddenly, Liam came over with a triumphant smile. “Matthew, stop fooling around. Sasha is out.”
Matthew frowned. “Where did she go?”
“She went to the bank to negotiate some business.” Liam smiled as he continued, “Matt, why are you
looking for Sasha? If there’s anything you need from her, you can call me. I am now Sasha’s personal
secretary and driver!”
“What?” Matthew asked with knitted brows.
“Sasha believes in my abilities and hired me to help her!” Liam smiled. “So, if you have any issues in
the future, just let me know.”
Matthew’s face turned slightly cold, and he gave Liam a deep look full of doubts. To be honest, he
didn’t quite believe Liam’s words. Why would Sasha ask Liam to be her secretary?
“Matt, we are going to have lunch now. Don’t come to the company if you don’t have anything urgent.
Look at the shabby clothes you’re wearing. You’re negatively affecting the company’s image!” Then,
Liam left triumphantly.
Matthew thought for a while before taking out his mobile phone and called Sasha. He wanted to ask
her about this. Despite a few attempts in calling, Sasha didn’t answer her phone. She was probably in
the midst of discussing business matters.
With no other choice, Matthew left Cunningham Pharmaceuticals alone. He was looking for a place to
eat when a BMW with loud engines passed by him suddenly. Fortunately, Matthew reacted quickly
enough, otherwise he would have been hit.
The BMW stopped in front of Matthew. There were two people in the car—a man and a woman.
“Dear, you are the best. You brought them here because you know that I like Chinese cuisine. Thank
you, dear. Muacks!” The girl acted coquettishly. She was dressed revealingly, exposing her fair and
slender thighs. She had heavy makeup on, and she looked quite beautiful.
Matthew looked at her with a cold expression. This girl was none other than Elaine Ziegler, the former
beauty in his class. In high school, Matthew had a sense of inferiority. When he reached puberty, he
had a crush on Elaine. At that time, a classmate of Matthew had a crush on Elaine as well and asked
Matthew to help him send a love letter to her. This was initially a trivial matter. However, his friend did
not write his name on the letter, so others mistakenly thought that Matthew was the admirer.
Plus, that classmate wouldn’t admit that he was the one who sent the letter, so Matthew took the
blame. Then, Elaine’s friends told everyone in the school about it. One time, Elaine even threw a glass
of water at Matthew in public and rasped, “Matthew, who do you think you are? Do you think that a
trash like you deserves to have a date with me?”
From then on, Matthew got the nickname ‘trash’ in school. Elaine also became a sore spot in Matthew’s
heart. To his dismay, he actually met her here today!
Seeing Elaine, Matthew couldn’t help but think of his two buddies in school. During his schooling years,
he had only two friends, who were so close to him that they were willing to take a gunshot for him.
Unfortunately, after graduation, they gradually lost contact.
Now that he saw this former classmate of his, he couldn’t help but lament how fast time flew. How great Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
it would be if those two buddies were still around! Thinking of this, Matthew suddenly had an urge in his
heart to return to the place where he used to live; he wanted to get in touch with his two companions
again.
