"Be good.” Matthew put his big hand on top of my head. "Can you not reject my kindness when I genuinely want to help you and take care of you?"
I bit my lip, not knowing what to say at that moment.
"If you feel bad, you can pay me rent," Matthew smiled and said, "Of course, I'd rather not collect any fees from you.”
"Speaking of getting a job, you can work in my company. This can’t be considered as me helping you get a job. It’ll be you who’s helping me. I've just taken over the company, after all."
I wanted to reject him, but I knew it would be useless t o do so. I felt so helpless for a moment.
When I knew he was staying opposite me, I finally realized that he had it all planned. There was no chance for me to reject him.
Not long after I woke up the next morning, Matthew came knocking on my door.
I opened the door and stared at him blankly.
Matthew smiled and said, “Get changed. Let's go to the shopping mall." "I don't feel like going.” I was in a bad mood and was
too lazy to move around.
"I bought these two units the other day. They’re not fully furnished yet. Let’s go shop at the mall. We'll have breakfast on the way there." It was like Matthew did not hear me rejecting him.
I let out a small sigh, turned around, and entered the bedroom.
After getting ready, we went out and had our breakfast before making our way to the mall. After we got back i n the car, I asked, "Buying those two units must have cost you a lot of money.”
I did not notice it when we arrived last night. When w e headed out this morning, I realized it was a luxury condominium in the city center. The price of two units of condominiums was unimaginable in Whaldorf City where an inch of land was equivalent to an inch of gold.
"It's not too bad." He would not mind such a small amount of money considering how wealthy the Zimmer family was.
"I'll pay you rent." I touched my nose. "It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as it gives me peace of mind while staying here."
