Chapter 9
Matthew glanced at Harrison and rook the phone.
The only response he received was a busy tone.
Matthew was speechless.
Harrison was stunned.
“Ms. Crosby might have hung up by accident” Harrison tried his best to speak up for Nadia. “She just told me that she was busy. She sounded a little out of breath as if she was on the way
Matthew ignored him and threw the phone back to him. “Don’t do anything unrelated to work during the meeting”
Harrison was lost for words.
Seeing Daniel looking at him in confusion, Matthew said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Owen
Daniel was over 60 years old Lake M
Matthew, he was also a big shot in the construction industry, but he was much more experienced than Matthew. Daniel admired and guarded against Matthew. Today, he came over mainly for cooperation, so hearing Matthew’s apology, Daniel waved his hand generously, “Don’t say that, Mr. Brock. There are always unexpected situations”
After that, Daniel looked at Matthew and said, “If you have something urgent to deal with, just go ahead. It’s okay. Im not in a hurry. I’m here to have a chat with you today.”
Matthew replied, “No need.”
He glanced at Harrison’s phone, but his face remained expressionless.
After all, Daniel was sophisticated. He smiled and said, “Mr. Brock, why don’t we take a break fall asleep last night. I can take this opportunity to rest.”
first? I
was so angry with my unfilial son that I didn’t
Harrison immediately said, “I ask someone to take you to have a rest, Mr. Owen. The canteen downstairs has already prepared afternoon tea Would you like to go over and eat something first”
“Okay.” Daniel stood up with a smile. “I happen to be a little hungry now”
Harrison called his assistant over and asked him to show Daniel and his team around and arrange an afternoon tea for them.
The assistant quickly led them out
When the door closed, Harrison hesitantly looked at Mathew, who had been sitting still, and called out softly, “Mr. Brock!”
“What did she say to your Matthew suddenly asked.
Although he didn’t name anyone, Harrison knew that Matthew was asking about Nadia.
“Ms. Crosby said that she had transferred the money back to you and asked me to thank you on her behalf, And.” Harrison observed Matthew and continued hesitantly, “She said that her family wouldn’t need this money now and in the future. If they come to you again, don’t pay attention to
them.
Matthew frowned slightly. He turned his head and glanced at Harrison thoughtfully.
Harrison was startled “Mr. Brock
Matthew tilted his head to look at him. “When did you become so familiar with her?”
Harrison was speechless..
Matthew asked, “What didn’t she tell me? Why did she need you to pass on the message!”
Harrison froze.
He felt so wronged
He thought, “How can I possibly know what is going on between you two? This matter could have been solved with a phone call, but Nadia had to let me convey her words, I didn’t want to do it at all”
But Harrison didn’t dare in complain openly.
Chapter 9
“You’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Brock. I don’t have much contact with Ms. Crosby, and I’m not very familiar with her,” Harnson explained cautiously. “Maybe it was because she couldn’t get in touch with you and there was something urgent that she called me. After all, everyone knows that if they can’t find you, they can come to me, right?
After that, Harrison raised his hand and pointed at Matthew’s office, reminding him, “You forgot to bring your mobile phone when you went out
Matthew looked up through the glass wall of the conference room. His eyes fell on the phone on the desk. After a pause, he stood up and walked to
the office.
Harrison followed him eagerly.
He watched as Matthew picked up the phone and unlocked it. Then, Harrison saw Matthew’s face turn cool
Harrison felt his heart skip a beat. He subconsciously looked at Matthew’s phone screen, feeling embarrassed.
Matthew had no missed calls
Nadia had no intention of looking for Matthew from the very beginning.
Harrison wished he could slap himself on the spot. He shouldn’t have taken things for granted before they were verified. He had given Matthew hope, but now Matthew was…
He stole a glance at Matthew, whose handsome face was expressionless, Matthew just narrowed his brown eyes slightly at his phone.
Harrison called out nervously, “Mr. Brock?”
Matthew threw his phone back on the desk. “You can leave now.
“Yes” Harrison didn’t dare to stay. He quickly went out and closed the door.
Matthew looked gloomy. He glanced at the phone he had thrown away and then looked out of the window. After a moment of silence, he picked up the phone, opened Line, and saw a message from Selena: Then what’s his name?)
Matthew scrolled through it expressionlessly. When he saw that there was a voice message, he clicked on it
Selena: [Matthew, don’t help Nadia hide everything from me. Although you are busy with work, you still have to keep an eye on your wife. Nadia is married after all. Although I believe she won’t do anything out of line, our acquaintances will gossip if they see it]
Selena sounded angry, but Matthew ignored her. When he was about to exit the chat box, he inevitably saw the photo sent by Selena.
The way that man stared at Nadia made Matthew feel even more depressed, but he managed to suppress it.
That man was good–looking, about the same age as them. He had a composed bearing, sharp eyes, and a tall, straight figure. He was a man who could easily make women fall in love with him.
Matthew didn’t know this man’s relationship with Nadia, why they had made an appointment to go abroad to study together, and why she had even intended to tell him she was going to study abroad.
Thinking of how she had been secretly preparing for a divorce and advanced studies. Matthew looked cold. He turned off his phone again, threw it aside, and turned to leave, but he stopped halfway, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. Matthew turned around, grabbed the phone on the desk, and sent a Line message to Nadia Are you leaving today? Unexpectedly, a message popped up in the chat box: [You’re not Nadia’s friend yet. Please send a friend request. You can only chat with her after she has accepted it.
Matthew was speechless.
He suddenly remembered that in the third year of high school, at the class reunion after the college entrance examination, the head teacher told everyone that Nadia had something to do at home, so she would not come to the party. She hoped that everyone would have a good time.
There were 58 students in the class, and Nadia was the only one who did not come. After the last English exam, she walked out of the examination room and everyone’s life, disappearing thoroughly.
It was the same now, She chose to divorce him and cut all ties with him. Matthew had no doubt that Nadia had deleted his phone number, so the even asked another person to pass on the message about returning the money.
It was her style.
Matthew shook his head and smiled. He rubbed the space between his eyebrows with his left hand. He clicked on Nadia’s Line account and pressed. the button to remove her from his contact list without hestation. The dialog box popped up: [Delete Nadia and your chat history with her. Yes oF No | Matthew pressed his long finger down. When it was about to touch the phone screen, it stopped. His right thumb paused over the screen for a moment, he hesitated, and his hand tightened slightly.
In the end, Manhew pressed the “No” button. He named off the phone, held it in his p
palin, leaned over to pick up the car key on the desk, and
11:21 AM F
Chapter 9
“Take care of Mr. Owen. I have something to do.”
When he passed by Harrison, Matthew ordered in a low voice.
Harrison stood up in confusion. “Eh? Mr. Brock, are you going out now? What about the dinner with Mr. Owen tonight?”
Matthew said, “Cancel it!”
Harrison froze.
