Chapter 297

“In fact, having Esmie come is the same,” Jonathan said softly.

Kimberly cried harder, a look of apology on her face. “It’s not the same; the client wants to see me, not her.”

It was something I should have faced myself. How could I let her face it for me? Furthermore, what if something happened to her at this dinner party? I would feel so guilty. You can’t ignore her safety and feelings for my sake.

I: … Jonathan: …

Reynaldo supported her staggering body and said lightly, “Please have a seat first.”

Kimberly wiped away her tears and looked apologetically at me. “I’m sorry, Ms. Duffy. I didn’t know they asked you to replace me; otherwise, I…”

“Done.”

I impatiently interrupted her. This woman is really good at pretending; doesn’t she feel embarrassed about how fake she is? I just don’t believe Reynaldo couldn’t see through her act, but he was pretending to be blind, deliberately indulging her.

I told Kimberly, “Don’t blame yourself. If you ruin your health, I can’t take that responsibility.” Besides, I was Mr. Humphrey’s secretary, so accompanying him to a dinner party was natural.

“So stop crying and feeling sorry for yourself, okay?”

I knew she’d deliberately said those words to let me understand, in a roundabout way, that Reynaldo didn’t want her to face that perverted client, so he’d pushed me out. Oh, I knew in my heart—why did she have to say it here? I was instantly saddened and upset.

No way!

“Hahaha…”

Just then, a deep, sexy man’s laughter came from the doorway… I subconsciously lifted my head. I saw a tall, handsome man with a wicked look walking in. The man was Matthew.

He was surrounded by two glamorous beauties, with a few bodyguards following.

“Oh, are you guys having an internal conflict? Look at that beauty crying, tsk tsk tsk… It’s heartbreaking.”

When Matthew walked in, his gaze immediately fell on Kimberly, and he teased her.

Kimberly wiped away her tears. “Mr. Galatea, don’t make fun of me.”

“Haha, look at this beauty; even her voice is so sweet and soft, tsk tsk, really captivating.”

Matthew sat down with a beautiful woman in his arms, but his eyes were fixed on Kimberly, looking as if he wanted to devour her. While Kimberly remained artificial, a hint of pride colored her eyebrows, as if Matthew’s attention pleased her greatly.

I lowered my head and ignored her. Anyway, Reynaldo wouldn’t send her away.

“Wow, there’s another beauty.”

I was thinking when Matthew’s gaze suddenly flicked towards me. I slowly raised my head and politely smiled. “Mr. Galatea, nice to meet you.”

I don’t know what happened, but Matthew looked at me and suddenly furrowed his brows. I couldn’t help but tighten my heart. I’d just greeted him normally; did I say anything wrong?

Matthew leaned back, the smirk fading. His sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, stared intently, as if pondering something. I was taken aback by his gaze.

Chapter 297

Sure enough, people with deep eyes have a terrifying gaze. For example, this Matthew, or this Reynaldo. However, why did he look at me like that? Didn’t he stare at Kimberly like that before?

I smiled and asked him, “Mr. Galatea, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
