Chapter 84 The Man in the Suit
Matthew!
As soon as Andrea saw him the smile that had been on her face disappeared.
As she thought about all the chaos and turmoil from before she realized it all had something to do with Matthew. The anger inside Andrea was rising as she thought how this person dared to come near here again.
The expression on Baron's face was naturally unpleasant, and he gave Matthew a very cold look.
"Go away!" He said sharply as he looked at Matthew.
Matthew didn't seem to notice the hate and detest that both Baron and Andrea felt for him so he didn't move but instead said, "Why are you both so angry? What I did before really was too extreme but I'm here to apologize to you both, are you able to forgive me?" Although he was apologizing, his words seemed very insincere and as if he was just putting the minimal effort into his apology to save face.
"I don't want to have to repeat myself." Baron was starting to get infuriated.
Because most of the people who came to the event today were people who held prestige and he was on good terms with the host, he did not want to argue with Matthew here. However if Matthew continued to provoke him then Baron would not let him leave here unscathed.
After all everyone had heard others say they were afraid of Baron however no one had ever heard that Baron was afraid of anyone.
Matthew also felt that Baron's patience was about to run out she he decided not to continue provoking Baron but instead stepped aside and said, "Since Mr Howard does not wish to see me now, then I will speak with you another time."
He then turned to face Andrea and said while smiling, "Last time I worked with Miss Anderson I was very happy. I sincerely hope that there will be another opportunity to work with you in the future."
After he said this he didn't wait for Andrea to reply and as he left he didn't turn back.
Andrea was taken to a sofa in the corner and after they sat down Baron didn't say anything.
He just looked around the room with a gloomy expression, occasionally taking sips of red wine.
Andrea felt that the atmosphere between them was slightly uncomfortable.
But as she saw his expression she really didn't know what to say.
Inside her mind she had long ago screamed a torrent of abuse at Matthew, this man really was despicable. He seemed to appear everywhere but she didn't know if he was deliberately trying to sabotage her relationship with Baron or not. However it did really seem this way.
Andrea stole a glance at Baron many times until she finally moved closer to him and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
Baron shot a glance at her without speaking.
Andrea was silent and then continued to speak, "About what happened that time, I admit I didn't think it through properly, so I want to apologize to you again. Can you please not be angry anymore?"
"And, think about it. Matthew deliberately came here today to say those misleading words. His aim was to infuriate you which would then cause problems between us. If you really got angry then you would have fallen for his trick and he would have been the one walking out here feeling victorious."
She enclosed her hand around Baron's, "Do you think what I said is correct?"
As he looked down at Andrea's gentle and pleasing appearance, all of Baron's anger was suddenly swept away.
He naturally knew of course that Matthew's words just now were deliberate in order to cause problems in their relationship.
However as he thought about it, at the time Andrea would rather believe other people than believe him. So when he left the scene so resolutely, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Especially to this day, Andrea still hadn't told him why she wanted to return to the Anderson house, what she was thinking and what she had planned.
Andrea had never spoken about any of these things which made him always have a feeling that she would stray far away from him again.
Andrea still didn't know what Baron was thinking about, she only knew that he was still angry, so she frowned and wanted to continue to straighten things out with him.
However what she didn't expect was that Baron suddenly picked her up and embraced her in his arms.
"Ah-" Because she had no time to prepare for this Andrea couldn't help but let out a small cry. "Andrea." Baron said her name.
"What is it?" After Andrea got herself into a comfortable position she then raised her head suspiciously.
Baron bit her lips and then cruelly said, "If you leave me again then I will break your legs."
Andrea was speechless.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Andrea was silent and then added one condition to this, "If you ever bully me then I will find a way to leave you." Baron replied, "I will not allow it."
After he paused for a moment he then continued to speak, "If you run away from me again then no matter what I will bring you back. And once you are back with me then I will confine you to me so you cannot go anywhere again."
After he said this he bit Andrea's lip once more.
Andrea knew that there was no use in struggling since it would only aggravate Baron even more.
Therefore she didn't move and let herself be controlled by Baron.
After all they were in public and not even Baron was that impudent, so after he bit her one more time he then let go of her.
Once Andrea was sitting in her original position again she tidied up her appearance a little bit.
The banquet was now entering the dancing stage however both Andrea and Baron were not too interested in this.
Baron thought about it and then asked Andrea, "Do you want to dance?"
Andrea shook her head, "I don't want to, I'm not very good at dancing."
Since Baron also didn't want to dance and Andrea felt the same way, the two of them continued to stay sitting at their spot.
Then right at this moment someone stepped out from the dance floor and was walking in the direction of Baron.
Baron's expression was originally very calm and unmoved but when he saw this person he was shocked.
Andrea also noticed and they watched as this person came over together.
They saw that he was wearing a
formal suit, and although he was not too handsome, you could say he looked very delicate and refined. In addition to the way he presented himself, just by looking at him you could tell he was a very successful person.
Andrea felt that if she had met this person before then she definitely would have remembered him.
However as she scoured through all of her memories she could not remember meeting this person before and it seemed that this person only knew Baron.
Sure enough when the man was in
front of them he just looked towards Baron, smiled and said, "Sir, the Mrs. has been calling you recently however you never pick up, so came here to see what was going on If you can then I hope you will
return her calls, otherwise she will be continue to be very worried."
Andrea who was sitting next to Baron felt very clearly that as soon as this person had started speaking something felt a little odd with Baron. Especially once he heard the word Mrs., the air around him suddenly turned cold. Mrs? In this world there was only one person who would be called this in front of Baron, and that person was his mother who she heard was living overseas.
As she combined the information she had heard before with Baron's current expression she guessed that perhaps Baron's relationship with his mother was not on good terms?
"Tell her that I will come see her on New Year's Day and not to disturb me anymore for the time being." Baron said after a long period of silence.
