Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

On the way, Matthew didn’t talk.

He could tell Blanca was ignoring him… And this made him quite uncomfortable. But his pride didn’t allow him to ask any more questions.

When they arrived home, Mrs. Brown had already made dinner. Blanca helped her set the table and started eating when Matthew was seated. In less than ten minutes, she wiped her mouth and put down her spoon, “I’m full. Excuse me but I need to go back to my room.”

Then she ran upstairs.

Matthew squinted his eyes and stared at the empty seat.

“Mr. Grant, are you having an argument with Mrs. Grant?”

Mrs. Brown couldn’t help asking. This morning before they went to work, they looked quite fine and Blanca gave him a massage. Why were they so different when they got back?

Matthew wanted to know too.

“Mrs. Brown, you should take a rest.”

Matthew also stood up.

He thought for a while and eventually called Curtis to ask him to find out what Blanca did at work today.

He wanted to know every detail of his woman.

“This… should make it a little better.”

Blanca was sitting on the nightstand in her bedroom, constantly changing the design. She wasn’t a professional in design or painting but she liked drawing. She was a self-taught.

She finished one of the six profile pictures. It was a girl in a cute pink dress. She enlarged the eyes and made her hair blonde. She adjusted the scale and then sent it to her schoolmate.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

In less than a minute, she replied, “Wow!!! This is super adorable! When can we see the rest of the pictures? I have to thank you for this!”

Maybe the draft was so good and appealing to girls, her schoolmate sent another six photos and said, “The girls from the dorm next door also want you to draw them profile pictures!”

And then another message that said she had received the money.

Blanca could feel the happiness of that girl from the message and she started to smile.

Maybe she could barely buy anything with these 60 dollars, but it gave her confidence.

So Blanca was even more concentrated on her work and didn’t notice Matthew was approaching.

Seeing her working so hard, Matthew found out something was off. He came to her and asked, “Why aren’t you in bed sleeping?”

He didn’t like to be neglected.

“If you are sleepy then go ahead. I’m caught up by work. If it will bother you, I can do it in the living room.”

Blanca rubbed her eyes. She was kind of a workaholic too and didn’t care about anything else when she was working. She didn’t notice the mood shift of Matthew. She took her laptop and wanted to leave. Then she was stopped by Matthew.

What did she mean?

Was he chasing her away?

Matthew held her shoulders and peeped at her design on her laptop. He said complicatedly, “You’re still working?”

“Yes.”

“Is this about the company?”

“No…” Blanca felt it was unnecessary to lie to Matthew about this and explain too much to him.

After all, they were not that close…
