Matthew felt a bit moved and slightly guilty: "Did I interrupt your meeting?"
He smiled and shook his head: "Not at all, don't overthink it."
The two talked for a while, seemingly forgetting that another person was standing in the office.
Completely ignored, Alice's face turned sour, clenching her fists, she stepped forward, and said angrily: "Matthew, are you so anxious about her? I'm not a beast, I won't eat her."
Only then did Matthew seem to notice her.
He gently pushed Scarlett away from his embrace and turned his head, his previously gentle gaze turning cold in an instant. His narrowed Peach Blossom Eyes gleamed as he spoke indifferently: "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you never to appear in front of me again? Did you forget?"
His gaze without a shred of warmth, his voice equally icy. This man from head to toe was chilling enough to make anyone shudder.
Alice felt an indescribable sense of regret.
Once, his gaze upon her was gentle, with a smile.
