Rachel immediately blushed. "Stop it! Don't be like this!"
Tracy was furious because she thought Matthew was a pervert making a move. But what surprised her more was seeing Rachel flush red.
The 'Icy Beauty' persona she wore around men was gone, now replaced by a shy demeanor akin to that of a young wife.
Could it be that Rachel actually liked this worthless man who had been in prison, divorced, and was also a pervert? But how could that be possible?
Matthew raised an eyebrow as he questioned, "What do you mean 'don't be like this'? I'm just a chauffeur. Handling this kind of thing isn't my job. Since I helped you get the article retracted, I should be getting a bonus, no?"
Rachel immediately knew what he meant. She said, "My bad, I misunderstood. I thought—"
She didn't finish her sentence because she realized it was inappropriate to say such things out loud, so she immediately kept quiet.
Matthew caught on to what she was trying to say. He teased, "Oh, I get it. You thought I wanted a kiss from you. Why would you think that? Is it because of that illness you have that needs my 'special' treatment?"
Hearing this, Rachel blushed even more furiously. This guy brought it up again. It was obvious that he had bad intentions toward her. Still, she gritted her teeth without saying anything.
Hearing that Rachel had an illness, Tracy was a bit worried. She asked, "Rae, what's wrong?"
Rachel didn't dare to speak of it. She replied, "Don't listen to his nonsense. There's nothing wrong with me."
It was very embarrassing to talk about her illness. After all, it could only be cured by having sex with a man—which Rachel believed was a lie Matthew made up to bed her anyway. Thus, she never took it seriously.
Tracy felt something was amiss between the two, so she decided to ask Rachel about it once she had the opportunity.
…
Back at Wealthwave Group, Rachel and Tracy returned to the office.
Matthew went to the logistics department, where the security guards, cleaners, and drivers had their rest area.
The head of security was gone, and the logistics manager had been dismissed, leaving the place without a leader.
