Nancy lifted her chin and snorted coldly. "You really took my praise seriously. How shameless."
Nancy turned and left after she dropped her words on me. I smiled helplessly as I looked at her back.
'Would that even be considered pride?'
On our way back, the driver drove us because Matthew had had a few drinks earlier.
As the car drove out of the villa area, I smiled and thanked him. "Thank you for your help. I'll repay you."
"How?" Matthew’s eyes widened as he asked playfully.
I blinked my eyes and replied, "I’ll find you a good wife."
"That is not repayment." Mathew smiled bitterly. "To m e, that is revenge."
I chuckled lightly without saying anything else.
It was almost eleven at night when we reached the apartment. I was in a daze when I got out of the car as I had been trying my best to not fall asleep in the car. All my sleepiness went away when I saw a man standing at the entrance of my apartment.
Theo looked even more haggard than he did the last time we had met. He did not seem high-spirited like h
e used to be.
I looked at him with a frown as I felt very agitated.
Matthew was hostile towards him, and he stood in front of me while keeping me behind his back. " President Grant, what are you doing here at this late hour?"
"Matthew...” I tugged his sleeves and sighed lightly." You should go up first."
I smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll come up soon."
