âOh... er, no need for that. Iâll remember. Iâll remember it all clearly.â
Blanca didnât dare mouth off any longer and just busied herself with lunch. She didnât even know what the food tasted like, though.
Oh no, if anything had happened, was she going to get pregnant...
If she did get pregnant, it was going to be trouble...
As she thought of all that, her mood was all frazzled. She somehow finished the meal, packed it up, and was about to leave when there came a knock on the door.
âEnter.â
Lisa the secretary walked in, saw her boss sitting on the sofa, and less than a meter away from him, the petite Blanca sitting on the rug, her heels off and at a side. From Lisaâs angle, it looked like Blanca was leaning on Matthew.
Lisa lowered her gaze in a panic, biting her lip.
Matthewâs office had always only been a workspace, and heâd hated others doing what they wanted in his office. Here this woman was treating it like she was lounging in her own house.
Sure it was Matthewâs wife, but Lisa was still ridiculously jealous at the scene. Sheâd stayed by Matthewâs side for all those years and always kept to a strict code of conduct, all to leave a good impression with Matthew. Now, it seemed it wasnât that she hadnât done a good enough job. No matter what she did, Matthew had never given her any special treatment. She was just like Curtis. Another member of the staff.
Thinking of that, Lisaâs mood fell some more.
âWhat is it?â
Matthew frowned at her, since she hadnât spoken at all when she came in.
Blanca looked at her too and had to raise an eyebrow. This secretary was pretty good-looking herself!
She hadnât met this Lisa when she came in, and just knew from Curtis that Matthewâs secretary was named Lisa Anderson.
She shot a look at Matthew, leering at him. He did know how to pick himself a secretary, huh?!
âWould you like your coffee now, Mr. Grant?â Lisa asked.
Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant ï¤Chapter 23 Quite an Appetite Accidental love II She nodded at Blanca with a light smile and didnât greet her.
âSure.â Matthew nodded, somewhat displeased. âYou can just call from now on.â
Lisa had always just called to ask about it, so why had she come to the office at all? It wasnât anything serious.
And she was interrupting his lunch with his wife!
Lisa turned to leave. It was true that she hadnât needed to come and had only needed to call.
But she knew Blanca was in the room, so out of a sense of resentment, she wanted to see for herself if Matthew really felt anything for this woman heâd suddenly married, or if they were just acting the part.
After all, as Matthewâs secretary, sheâd never seen him show interest in any woman.
âWait a moment.â Blanca stood and turned to Lisa.
Lisa smiled and turned around. âWhat is it, Miss Roach?â
Blanca blinked and slightly narrowed her eyes. From that âMiss Roachâ of this secretaryâs and her professionally feigned smile, she realized something.
This woman had set her eyes on Matthew.
âSecretary Anderson, was it? Please wait another half hour before you pour Matthew his coffee.â
âOh? Why is that?â
Lisa asked, frowning with a bit of displeasure. Even if she was Matthewâs wife, she was butting her nose in too much!
Matthew also chuckled, a little confused. âWhat, I canât even have a cup of coffee?â
