Matthew was preoccupied the entire day. As soon as he finished work, he hastily got into his car and drove to Lucy’s company. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Everyone in the company was confused. “What’s wrong with Mr. Leon. today? Why is he in such a hurry?”
“Maybe he’s in a hurry to see his wife,” some speculated.
“I heard that Mr. Leon got married.”
When the other employees realized what was going on, they smiled. “I see. Who would have thought that even Mr. Leon’s weakness was a -woman’s beauty?”
“I know right!”
Oblivious to the gossip in the company, Matthew was still worrying about how he was going to break the news to his wife.
Soon, he arrived at Lucy’s company and waited for her downstairs anxiously.
About 15 minutes later, Lucy rushed downstairs. Struggling to catch her breath, it took her a while before she could stand up straight.
“Why are you here so early? How long were you going to wait if I hadn’t seen you?”
Matthew was stilblooking at her concernedly. He took out a bottle of water from the car and handed it to her. “You didn’t have to rush
down. I can wait, so you can take your time.”
Lucy nodded. “Alright, I’ll do that next time.”
Then, Matthew opened the passenger seat door for Lucy. Lucy got in and fastened her seat belt before Matthew started the engine and
מוד
drove off.
The drive home was quiet. Matthew frowned as he contemplated how he was going to tell her while Lucy looked at him apprehensively.
What happened today? Why did he seem so upset? Did something happen at the company? Unaware of his wife’s gaze, Matthew was lost in his thoughts about what he should do later!
They sat through the silence and arrived home. As soon as the car came to a stop, Lucy could not wait to get out of the car and escape the terrifying tension. She immediately sighed in relief.
The person responsible for that, Matthew, was still lost in his thoughts.
Lucy was genuinely worried to see him like this. Did something bad happen at the company? Was it on the verge of bankruptcy?
Lucy gulped and went up to Matthew, who had forgotten to get out of the car. She tugged at his sleeve.
Matthew turned to ask her gently, “What’s wrong?”
Lucy shook her head. “Nothing. Let’s go inside.”
Still in a daze, Matthew followed Lucy into the house.
The two of them got home 30 minutes earlier than usual, so Vito wast not there to make dinner for them yet.
Lucy pulled Matthew over to the couch with a stern look on her face. as she asked, “Matt, what’s wrong with you today? Are you feeling down, or did something happen to Leon Corporation? You’ve been upset the entire ride home.”
Matthew realized that he had made his wife worry about him, but he just could not say it. He stammered as he explained to her, “I–It’s not about the company.”
Lucy frowned. “If it’s not the company, what is it?”
She thought about it. She could not think of any other reason that could upset him.
Matthew was known for his prowess and silver tongue in the
cutthroat world of business, but he found himself in a dilemma when facing his beautiful wife.
Lucy’s anxiety heightened as she looked at Matthew’s face. Was
Matthew ill too? Cancer? Leukemia? No, his health should be fine, right?
