Aurelia continued to display a composed smile, asking in a polite manner, “Do you require anything further. Ms. Sanders?”
“I hope you won’t regret this,” Angela stated with a clear sense of forewarning. She was acutely aware that she could not afford to squander any more time engaging with Aurelia.
There was the looming possibility that Matthew might arrive at any moment.
Thus, Angela pivoted on her heel, proceeding to enter her car.
As the engine of the car came to life, she rolled down the window, casting a determined look toward Aurelia. “Aurelia, this is something you’re going to regret, I assure you,” she declared resolutely.
Angela harbored doubts about Matthew’s continued affection for Aurelia. She was convinced it wouldn’t last. It was the uniqueness of Aurelia’s appearance that had initially captured Matthew’s interest.
Aurelia confidently asserted, “I can assure you now, I will have no regrets. However, I cannot say the same for you, Ms. Sanders. Generally speaking. I consider myself quite open–minded, but when it comes to handling melodramatic people, I can outmaneuver them in

tinged with a discernible air of arrogance
In a sudden movement, Angela clenched the steering wheel tightly, urgency evident in her voice, “We need to find a time to talk this through properly. I didn’t intend for my words today to cause you harm.”
With a smile that did not quite illuminate her eyes, Aurelia pondered whether Angela truly thought others could not see through her facade.
Taking a deep breath, Angela’s heart raced with anxiety. “There’s really no need to drag Mr. Quigley into all of this. He’s perpetually overwhelmed with work as it is. Dragging him into these petty disputes and jealousies among women will only serve to gradually diminish his regard for you. It’s not going to benefit you in the long run,” she cautioned.
“He actually finds my melodramatic nature rather endearing.” Aurelia replied nonchalantly.
Aurelia was not entirely sure what type of woman Matthew preferred. Initially, she had presumed he favored someone similar to Angela. Now, she was convinced he did not appreciate women of Angela’s
type.
Angela’s fury was palpable, her blood boiling with anger. She was certain that Aurelia had provoked her intentionally.
I’ve never heard of a man who likes a woman who’s overly melodramatic, especially not Matthew.
Yet, over the recent years, a myriad of women had shown an interest in Matthew, employing various. strategies to capture his attention, though none truly succeeded in captivating him.
Could it truly be that Matthew is attracted to Aurelia’s brazen and melodramatic nature?
Noticing Angela’s flicker of doubt, Aurelia couldn’t suppress a chuckle. It seems people are willing to believe

“Regardless of everything… I’ll apologize to you. Actually, Aurelia, perhaps we could consider being friends. Aligning yourself with me could bring you a multitude of benefits,” Angela’s tone had softened noticeably.
Her demeanor was nearly indistinguishable from that of the composed and proper presenter frequently seen on television broadcasts. Her persona was one that could effortlessly win over new admirers.
Angela’s capacity to switch between various facets of her personality was indeed impressive, leaving an indelible impression on those around her.
“We don’t need to maintain a friendship, I’m afraid. I’m wary of being exploited. Ms. Sanders, if you wish to leave, please do so. There’s no longer any space for your car here,” Aurelia reminded her, her smile failing to mask the underlying tension.
Did Angela truly believe I’m as naive as a child?
“Fine!” Angela exclaimed as she gripped the steering wheel tightly, her long nails leaving deep indentations.
With a firm press on the gas pedal, she maneuvered the car out of the parking spot.
As the car pulled away, Aurelia allowed her smile to fade. She knew that having Angela as an adversary would undoubtedly lead to complications. Yet, befriending someone of Angela’s ilk could prove even more perilous. It was preferable to regard her as an adversary, straightforwardly.
“Since when did you understand me so well?” A voice suddenly queried from behind.
Caught off guard, Aurelia turned stiffly, her gaze settling on Matthew who had unexpectedly made his appearance. When did he get here?
Matthew’s thin lips formed a slight smile, anticipating Aurelia’s response.
Aurelia found herself unable to muster even a forced laugh. “How much of that did you overhear?”
“Almost everything. Matthew responded candidly.
He had witnessed Aurelia giving Angela a dose of her own medicine, leaving her utterly speechless. It was his first time seeing Angela, known for her dignified composure as a presenter, lose her poised demeanor in a wave of frustration.
Aurelia felt that the instances where she had embarrassed herself in front of Matthew were becoming more frequent.
No matter how much I try to explain, it seems impossible to make things clear.
“We’ve been married for merely a few days, and yet it appears you understand me more than I understand myself. Have you developed feelings for me?” Matthew closed the distance between them, leaning in ro whisper softly in her car.
Aurelia was taken aback by his remark. “Did I simply stumble upon your preferences by chance? If I were to divulge this information to the media, wouldn’t I potentially make a fortune?”
Their relationship could best be characterized as living shared lives.
If one were to speak of genuine affection…

Aurelia paused, preventing herself from pondering any further.

Matthew’s expression grew slightly darker as he stated, “Without my express permission, no media would dare venture into reporting on my personal matters.”
It seems she truly doesn’t like me,
“Such a control freak,” Aurelia muttered under her breath in a tone tinged with exasperation.
He’s so overbearing, typical of a CEO!
The two made their way into a restaurant, stepping into an interior that resembled a grand mansion from another era. The opulence was palpable.
A small, ornate bridge arched gracefully over a gently flowing stream, and artificial mountains dotted the landscape, meticulously arranged to create a perfect scenic replica. It was like a scene pulled straight from a lavish historical drama.
The ambiance of the place was further enhanced by the sounds of a harp being played by a skilled harpist invited for the evening, adding to the serene and inviting atmosphere.
Shortly after they seated themselves, a variety of dishes began to arrive. Each dish was a work of art, prepared with great care and detail, turning the meal into a sensory delight.
Having spent the entire afternoon touring properties, Aurelia’s hunger had built to a crescendo.
Midway through their meal, however, Aurelia started to feel slightly unwell. “I need to use the restroom,” she announced.
Matthew gave a nod of acknowledgment,
As Aurelia was preparing to rise from her seat, the tranquility of the setting was abruptly shattered as the door burst open.
“Mr. Quigley, I am willing to do anything if you could help me. I have three daughters, and you may choose any one of them to accompany you,” pleaded a middle–aged man, his face marked by lines of worry and desperation, as he edged dangerously close to falling to his knees.
Matthew’s demeanor instantly turned stern and chilly, exuding an icy authority that seemed to reduce the man before him to nothing more than an insignificant ant
The man’s forehead began to bead with sweat under Matthew’s intense gaze. Realizing his abrupt intrusion, he felt the weight of his desperate act.
Despite this, he was at his wit’s end.
What further shocked Aurelia was, that, seconds after the man’s plea, three remarkably beautitul women entered the room. Each one seemed more striking than the last, and two of them Aurelia recognized as minor celebrities from a TV series she had watched.
This surreal scenario, something one might never expect to witness, was unfolding right there in reality.
When the trio caught sight of Matthew, their cheeks flushed a soft pink, and they flirtatiously addressed him. “Mr. Quigley.”

Aurelia found the entire scene absurdly theatrical. The act of begging Matthew made the man come off as less a parent and more like a matchmaker.
Victor, now visibly sweating more profusely, looked toward Matthew with hopeful eyes. “Mr. Quigley, do any of my daughters catch your fancy?”
Watching Matthew’s undisturbed composure, Aurelia realized that such scenarios were probably not common for him. As these thoughts crossed her mind, she wondered if Matthew had ever been tempted in such a manner before, and if he had, what choices he might have made.
Three stunning beauties stood before them, each captivating enough to catch anyone’s eye. Aurelia thought to herself that if she were in his position, she might have been quite taken with them.
Matthew then turned his gaze to Aurelia. Observing her detached admiration of the scene, his eyebrows. knitted together, deepening into a frown of disapproval.
“Who gave you the audacity?” he inquired sharply.
Victor felt his heart squeeze with anxiety, his cold sweat intensifying as he stammered, “I–I merely wanted. to ask for your assistance, Mr. Quigley. It wouldn’t be fair to expect your help without offering something
in return.”
