In the office, Harrison couldn’t help stealing glances at Matthew every now and then
After taking a glance at Matthew, he couldn’t help but size Kathleen up. The look in

She was still thinking about how Harrison scolded her when she accidentally bumped into lum and Matthew earlier
Harrison said grumpily, “You’re really good at pulling strings to get things done”
“That has nothing to do with me. I wouldn’t dare to try and pull strings with Matthew. It was Matthew who took the mitiative document.
At the inention of this, Kathleen felt that it was strange. She remembered that when she mentioned Nadia just now, Mathew didn’t seem to care about Nadia at all.
She thought for a moment, leaned closer to Harrison, and lowered her voice. “Hey have to ask you something. How was the relationship Matthew and his wife before?
Harrison glanced at her. “Why are you asking about this?”
Kathleen replied, “I’m just curious”
She moved closer to him and asked, “So how was it?”
Harrison replied, I don’t know
Kathleen was rendered speechless.
It was a waste of her breath asking him.
“But” Harrison sized Kathleen up again, “you’re quite good at cutting to the chase. Mr. Brock has never pulled the strings for anyone before
Kathleen asked. “Not even Nadia”
“You’ll have to ask Mr. Brock about that.” Harrison rubbed his chin. “Nadia has never asked Mr. Brock for help. Who knows if he’d make an exception for her! Maybe Mr. Brock has been waiting for Nadia to contact him”
Kathleen clicked her tongue loudly, It was obvious that she didn’t believe it.
Harrison said. “Don’t be so skeptical. Didn’t you notice that he changed his attitude when you mentioned Nadia just now?”
Kathleen snorted at him and said, “That’s not a change in attitude. He only did that because he wanted to go against Nadia. It means that Matthew still holds a grudge about being dumped by Nadia and doesn’t want to embarrass himself.”
Harrison rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to argue with Kathleen.
He had been with Matthew for so many years. He knew that Matthew cared little about being embarrassed.
In the office, Mathew had already finished reading the proposal. He called Harrison on the intercom and said, “Please ask Miss Hayden to come in. Harrison hung up the phone and looked at Kathleen. “Miss Hayden, Mr. Brock asked you to go into his office.”
Kathleen glanced at him suspiciously and then looked at Matthew, who was in his office. Only then did she walk over and knock on the door.
“Please come in
A low and cold voice came from inside the room. Kathleen pushed the door open and walked in
Matthew turned to look at her and said, I’ve read your proposal. I think the location has great potential to be well–developed and there’s room for Cooperation.
Kathleen looked at him somewhat in surprise. “So, yo
Matthew replied. “I didn’t say that
Kathleen didn’t know what to say
you agree to cooperate with us“”
Matthew said, “This is just my personal opinion, but whether we can cooperate or not depends on the comprehensive evaluation of the livestment
Kaldeen needed. “No problem”
Chapter 19
Then she asked him, “When can you give me an answer?”
Matthew replied, “In two weeks
Kathleen frowned. Even if Matthew decided to cooperate with her in two weeks, the whole process of deciding, confirming, and signing the contract would probably take a month or two.
- on. It was a long period of time, and she was a little worried about Nadia.
“Can you speed it up a little?” Kathleen asked, then added with a smile, “It’s mainly because my colleagues are also trying to invite other customers too recently. I’m just afraid that someone else would grab the opportunity first”
Matthew looked up at her and said, “It’s okay. It’s up to fate to do business. If someone else really grabs it first, it means that we are not destined to
work with each other”
Kathleen was rendered speechless.
Manhew was implying that he was not that interested in the shopping district.
Kathleen didn’t know if Mathew was doing so because he was really not interested in her proposal or if it was just his way of work. She couldn’t figure out what Matthew was thinking, so she didn’t dare to appear to be too impatient. She said with a dry semile, “Well, I’ll be waiting for your good
then, Mr. Brock.”
That was what she said on the surface, but when she went home in the evening, she couldn’t help complaining about Matthew to Nadia
In fact, Nadia didn’t want to hear any more news about Matthew, but she still listened patiently to Kathleen’s complaints. When she heard that Kathleen’s proposal had to be handed over to the Investment Department for a comprehensive evaluation, she frowned.
Kathleen was observant and noticed the subtle change in Nailia’s expression immediately. “Is there a problem“”
Nadia shook her head gently. “Not really. But Matthew has the absolute right to make his own decisions. He can make the decision alone ar Cloraxy Hotel. He doesn’t need to go through any department.”
Kathleen jumped to her feet immediately. “So, Matthew is clawedling deliberately?”
hy would he do that! If he isn’t interested in your proposal, he could simply reject you”
Nadia said, “I don’t think so. Why
“Then…” Kathleen thought for a moment and asked, “Is he interested in my proposal?
Nadia was not sure. I don’t know. He has always been decisive. If he likes it, he would make a decision directly and wouldn’t leave it to the Investment Department to decide for two weeks”
Kathleen was also confused. Then what does he meant
Nadia spread out her hands, indicating that she didn’t understand what Matthew had on his mind either
even more confused.
Kathleen was even more

She thought that the project had nothing to do with her after Matthew handed it to the Investment Department for evaluation. Unexpectedly, in the next few days, she was asked to come to Glory Group for business meetings every day. It seemed that they were very interested in the shopping district and had new questions about it every day.
The person put in charge of the project was Harrison, and they met either in his conference room or the VIP reception room
To nobody’s surprise. Kathleen met Matthew in various ways every day. She saw him more often than she ever had in the past two years.
She and Nadia were good friends, and she worked overseas all year round. It was common for her to slack off at work and go to see Nadia on werkdays or during the holidays.
But even during the holidays or weekends, Kathleen didn’t have many
many opportunities to meet Matthew.

She didn’t know if Matthew was really that much of a workaholic or if he deliberately avoided Kathleen to leave more space for her to be Nadia
Nevertheless. Kathleen never saw Matthew so often in the past two years.
Moreover, she found that Matthew seemed to be paying a lot of attention to her recently
In the past, even if she met him at his home, he would just say hello to her and go back to his room

day. Today, they have doubts about this. Tomorrow, they have doubts about that. Can’t they sort their problems out in one go so that I can answer everything in one day!”
Kathleen had just finished another business meeting at Cloraxy Group. It was during dinnertime and Kathleen was too lazy to go home to cook, so she went straight to the restaurant downstains of Gloraxy Group for lunch,
Nadia was having lunch outside. When she heard this, she said to Kathleen, “You can talk to him.”
“I’ve mentioned it before. It’s useless. The big boss likes to torture others like this
Kathleen switched to hold her phone with the other hand. When she looked up, she saw Matthew and Harrison coming back to the company. followed by Lucille
Lucille was holding a folder in her hand. Her cold and beautiful face looked serious with her work. She seemed to be reporting something to Matthew. From how fast her lips were moving, Kathleen could see that she was talking at a steady pace.
Matthew still looked calm and indifferent. He didn’t look at Lucille, but Kathleen could tell that he was listening carefully.
Kathleen felt that such a scene was an eyesore. She said to Nadia, “Wait a minste,” hung up, and snapped a photo of the scene in secret.
Maybe Mathew sensed something. He turned sklenly to look at Kathleen. The sharpness in his brown eyes left Kathleen a little flustered and embarrassed.
But she calmed down quickly and pretended not to see Matthew. She covered her face with her phone and pretended to be checking it seriously. Matthew turned around and told Harrison in a low voice, “You can go back first.”
Harnson nodded. “Okay”
“But.. Lucille wanted to say something as she looked as Matthew but stopped on second thought. In the end, she just nodded obediently. “Okay”
When she looked away, she glanced at Kathleen, who was still on her phone, lightly. Then, she looked away and walked into the building with Harrison
Matthew walked towards Kathleen
Kathleen had been staring at her phone and did not notice their movements,
She estimated that Matthew and the others must have left already, so she pretended nothing happened and put down her phone. She glanced in the direction where Matthew, Harrison, and Lucille were just now and only had time to see the backs of Lucille and Harrison disappearing at the
gate.
Kathleen patted her chest awkwardly as she heaved a secret sigh of relief. When she looked away, she glanced at her phone, which was now lying on
the table.
It was still showing the photos that Kathleen had just taken in secret. It was unknown whether it was because Kathleen was really such a great photographer or because Lucille was looking at Matthew so straightforwardly that the admiration and adoration in her eyes were visible to the naked eye
Just like when she was young, Kathleen couldn’t help feeling irritated as she looked at Lucille. She was also used to venting her anger immediately. So, she sent the photo to Nadia with the caption, [Look at the way Lucille looks at Matthew. I don’t believe that they were never in a relationship.]
When her phone beeped from getting a Line message, Nadia picked it up without thinking and saw Matthew and Lucille in
n the photo immediately.
In the photo, Matthew was wearing a black suit as usual. He was tall and confident, looking cold and distant as usual. He was more than 511 tall. His perfect figure, temperament, and facial features made him stand out in the crowd. His well–defined profile looked sharp and cold in the night. It was Matthew, whom Nadia was familiar with, but it was also because of how familiar she was with him that her heart ached uncontrollably when she saw his photo.
Nadia didn’t want to know any more news about Matthew anymore, including his work, his life, and even his love life.
She deleted the photo and texted Kathleen, He’s single now. He has the right to choose the life he wants. Don’t take in to
to heart.]
After thinking for a while, she added, I can help give you some advice with your work. But don’t tell me any news about Matthew in the future. I don’t want to know how he is doing]
