A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 783

Carl was still clutching the documents in his hand when he suddenly flashed them in front of himself, "Hold up a sec, I've got something to discuss with you."

Yvan retracted the leg he had kicked out and glanced at Carl, "How did it go with the thing you were handling for me?"

"All set." Carl looked around cautiously, lowering his voice as he handed the documents to Yvan, "Everything's in here. Have a look."

"Sure Matilda doesn't know about this?" Yvan asked.

"Cross my heart." Carl peeked inside, "And I did a little digging on Donna too, while I was at it."

Yvan smirked, "Look at you, my little lifesaver. Always so considerate. I really hit the jackpot with you."

"Cut it out." Carl firmly declined, "You better keep chasing Ms. Thompson. I'm not into that scene."

"..." This subordinate was really getting too cheeky for his own good.

After wrapping up her photo shoot, Matilda stepped out to find Yvan still waiting there. She raised an eyebrow, "Still here?"

"Just wrapped up some work and thought I'd check on you. Didn’t know you were done too."

Yvan's shamelessness was bulletproof, especially with that roguishly handsome grin of his, "Got some free time? I was hoping to invite you for some afternoon tea."

Carl facepalmed behind them, "God, Mr. Boyd is unstoppable..."

Before Matilda could respond, Criss bounded over, "Free as a bird! Tea sounds great. Mind if I join?"

Yvan internally groaned, 'I'm trying to woo my girl, and this guy jumps in?' But Criss was already wrapping an arm around Matilda, boasting shamelessly, "Sorry, folks, this gem is with me. Wherever I go, Matilda goes, right, Mat?"
