The Woman From Hell

Matthew placed the bag in his hand on the coffee table and said with a slight smile, "I found a mobile phone on the swing bed last night and figured that it might be yours."

I left it on the swing bed?

The corner of my lips twitched as I took the bag. "Why thank you, Mr. Zimmer-”

As I spoke, I saw the unfamiliar mobile phone in the bag and looked skeptically at Matthew.

"I wanted to give it to you yesterday but you pushed m e into the swimming pool, so the phone was spoiled. What choice did I have but to buy you a new one?" Matthew said in a lukewarm tone.

I felt awkward. It turned out that Matthew was following me last night because he was trying to return my phone.

“Uh...” I touched my flushed face and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Zimmer. Due to the incident last night, I didn’t think we'd be on good terms. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

Matthew raised his eyebrows slightly and said blandly, "How are you going to compensate me?" "I'll buy you a meal some other day.” This was the only

compensation I could think of.

However, Matthew sneered in disdain. "You're trying t o brush me off with a meal?"

This darn man was so hard to get rid of!

Just as I was stuck in an impossible situation, Miss Woods brought in two thermos containers and said," Mrs. Grant, I made some lasagne. Mr. Grant is probably too busy to have lunch, right? Should we bring him some? I'm sure he'll be happy to see you bring him lunch."

When Miss Woods helped me out of the awkward situation, I nodded with a smile. "He must be starving.”

Matthew was not an insensible man. He got up from the sofa. "Since you still have things to do, I should probably leave and visit some other time."

That... would be unnecessary.

Theo had specifically warned me to stay away from Matthew yesterday. For the sake of my family's peace and harmony, it would be better if he did not visit anymore.

I walked Matthew to the door and suddenly remembered about the phone on the coffee table. I quickly said, "I'll transfer you the money for the phone, Mr. Zimmer."

"That's not necessary." Matthew turned around and looked mildly at me. "Take it as my compensation for being rude to you yesterday."

He strode off before I could say anything. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I looked at his back and sighed.

What an odd man...

"Who was that, Mrs. Grant?" Miss Woods walked over and asked curiously.

"Matthew Zimmer. He's Marcus Zimmer's son."

Miss Woods nodded without saying another word.

I went back to the bedroom to change my clothes. After that, Miss Woods left the house with me.

In the car, I could not help but worry about going to see Theo at this hour because I might delay his work. After all, this was the time when he would be busiest.

However, we were already leaving so I could not turn back anymore.

Theo definitely had to rent an office building here if h e wanted to expand his business. I knew that he had rented an entire office building in an expensive location but I had never been here before. It sure looked luxurious seeing it with my own eyes today.
