An hour later, Thomas entered Matthew's office. "President Robins of Shepherd Star Group is here, Young Master Matthew. She's waiting for you in the reception room."
"I'll be there in a sec." Matthew put away the files on his desk and got up from his seat.
He glanced through the glass window of the reception room as he walked toward the reception room, and he found the woman's figure inside the room somewhat familiar.
Thomas pushed open the door of the reception room when they arrived. "Please, Young Master Matthew."
Matthew entered the reception room following that. He greeted in a professional, but cold tone, "Sorry to keep you waiting, President Robins. I..."
Eviette, who was sitting at the desk, looking down at her phone, raised her head when he spoke.
Matthew clearly saw her face when their eyes met, and he couldn't help but feel shocked. The words that he was about to say were stopped by his own thoughts at that instant.
"Greetings, President Kings." Eviette smiled gently and gracefully.
Her smile carried a sense of familiarity and an inexplicable affection.
"Leave us be, Thomas," Matthew instructed.
Thomas only glanced at them with a puzzled look before leaving the reception room.
Eviette also gave a signal, and her assistant immediately said, "Ouch! I'm having a bad stomach ache. Please allow me to go to the restroom, President Robins."
"Okay, go ahead." Eviette nodded, and her assistant immediately got up and left the reception room.
Matthew closed the blinds after their assistants left the room.
He slowly turned around after releasing the cord of the blinds, and he looked at Eviette, who was sitting 6.5 feet away from him. "Is it really you?"
