"We're at work. Behave."
Veronica pushed Matthew away "We are 'divorced.' Please show some respect, Mr. ex-husband."
She sarcastically criticized him, seemingly unhappy about what happened between him and Sasha.
Matthew Kings paused and turned serious. "Are you angry?"
He brushed her hair away from her forehead. "Although Sasha is now a woman, it doesn't change the fact that she has a man's nature deep down. How desperate must I be to have inappropriate thoughts about her?"
"I understand what you're saying..." Veronica deflated like a balloon and leaned against him. "There's nothing I can do about it. Your good looks keep attracting all those women around you. It gives me a headache. If I had known earlier, I should have found an average-looking husband."
"What did you say? Mind repeating?"
The man lowered his head, staring at the woman lying on his lap. He cupped her cheeks with one hand and gently pinched her delicate skin. "It seems like I haven't been taking good care of you. That's why you're overthinking."
He carried her and walked toward the private lounge in the office.
"What are you doing? This is the office, don't act recklessly—" Before Victoria could finish her protest, they were already in the room. The man threw her onto the bed and forcefully kissed her lips.
Meanwhile, Sasha, who had left Metric Technology feeling wronged, stood by the street and dialed Skyler's number.
No one answered the call, and frustration bubbled in her. "Why isn't he picking up his phone?!" she muttered to herself and gripped her phone tightly, feeling both angry and resentful towards Veronica.
When she raised her gaze, she realized that Miguel's company was just opposite the street. A helpless Sasha drove there.
