Chapter 298

Before Matthew could answer, Kimberly quickly and softly said, “Mr. Galatea, please don’t be angry. Ms. Duffy is a new member of our company; she lacks experience and doesn’t know how to speak well. If she has offended you in any way, we hope you can forgive her.”

Matthew suddenly chuckled. “This beauty is really interesting. Did I say she offended me?”

Kimberly’s innocent face froze, her complexion alternating between green and white with embarrassment.

At this moment, Reynaldo spoke lightly, “Is Mr. Galatea here to discuss business, or to see the employees of my company?”

I lowered my head in self-mockery. Reynaldo was so nervous about Kimberly. Matthew had just snapped at her, and he seemed upset.

Matthew chuckled. “Look at what Mr. Humphrey said. I came here with sincere intentions to discuss business with Mr. Humphrey.”

I just didn’t expect Mr. Humphrey to be so generous, bringing not only this gentle and delicate beauty, but also his ex-wife. I was stunned. He had been staring at me, recognizing me as Reynaldo’s ex-wife. It seems he is quite concerned about Reynaldo, even remembering my appearance. What does this mean? He regarded Reynaldo as a figure or opponent, even though he had the upper hand in Yoripero.

“It was her own decision to come along,” Kimberly whispered.

“Oh? You wanted to come along by yourself?” Matthew chuckled mischievously and said to me, “So Ms. Duffy isn’t afraid of me falling for her? Not afraid I’ll snatch you back and make you my wife?”

“Matthew!” Reynaldo muttered under his breath.

Matthew raised his hand and laughed. “Just kidding, just kidding, Mr. Humphrey, don’t take it seriously.”

However, we are here to talk business today. What is the intention of Mr. Humphrey bringing his ex-wife? Unaware people might think Mr. Humphrey was trying to bribe me with her.

Chapter 206

Without waiting for Reynaldo to speak, I said lightly, “Mr. Galatea misunderstood. Although I am Mr. Humphrey’s ex-wife, I am also his secretary now.”

“Secretary?” Matthew raised an eyebrow, smiling with great interest. “Another ex-wife, another secretary, huh, interesting.”

“So, as a secretary, I accompanied Mr. Humphrey to attend a dinner party; isn’t that strange?”

Matthew laughed. “No wonder, of course not. If Ms. Duffy hadn’t come, this dinner would be really boring.”

Matthew said, with a faint gleam in his eyes, staring at me. He looked at me, not as openly as he looked at Kimberly, but it still made me feel a little uncomfortable.

I lowered my head and got up to pour him a drink. “I have heard of the great name of Mr. Galatea a long time ago, and today, seeing you in person, it is indeed well-deserved.”

“Oh? Have you heard of my great name?” Matthew tilted his head and looked at me with interest. “So, tell me, how did they all talk about me?”

My mind raced. I smiled at him and said, “All I’ve heard are the extraordinary, decisive, and strategic aspects of Mr. Galatea’s reputation.” And, Mr. Galatea, you are obviously a smart, wise, and impressive person. Today, you just talk business with Mr. Humphrey; I will pour the wine for you.”

No one dislikes flattery, especially people at their level, who are powerful and love to hear flattering words. Sure enough, as soon as I flattered him, Matthew’s face improved a lot, and his smile became more cheerful.

He said to Reynaldo, “I really didn’t expect it; your ex-wife is actually quite eloquent and charming.” She boasted so much, I would feel a little embarrassed if I didn’t cooperate with you.
