Of course he wasnât leaving her out to dry.
Matthew nodded. Heâd put Blanca at his side to ward off courtiers, not to run errands for Alan.
Consider how much property there was under the Grant family, if they handed everything big and small over to Blanca to manage, there probably wouldnât even be a strand of hair left at the end...
âLetâs rescind your order, Grandpa. Iâve already promised to let Blanca come into the office for work,â Matthew said, his face giving nothing away.
What?!
Come to the office to work?!
Blanca had been explaining meekly to the old man how she wasnât fit to be that sort of manager and had been about to lower herself to the image of an illiterate country bumpkin when Matthew just up and tossed out that depth charge.
Since when had he agreed to let her go to the office and work?
What were the wages? Were there days off?
âComing to the office to work? Matthew, how could you let Blanca go to the office?â Carrie was displeased again and couldnât help but speak out.
Sheâd wanted to put Louise in that office instead, but then the old man had gone and said that girls should stay at home and learned their stuff - play the piano or tend the flowers or something. Carrie had been upset, of course. If her daughter was just being kept in the house to play the piano and tend flowers, how was she supposed to get into the Empire Group?
Or seduce a handsome, wealthy husband?
âWhy not?â
Matthewâs simple words had Carrie speechless...
Blanca still hadnât recovered from the shock. She could really go in to work? In an office? The Empire Group. It was the Empire Group! The dream destination of so many college graduates!
Once upon a time, Blanca had wanted a decent job like this when she was in high school...
Sensing Carrieâs resistance, Blanca was afraid sheâd mess things up. Matthew had agreed after all that!
Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant ï¤Chapter 93 Spectator Accidental love II ï¤Chapter 100 Youâre So Kind Mysterious Mr.Richard âCarrie, I actually think itâs nice to go work in the office. Iâve only just gotten married to Matthew... The two of us... have to stick together, right? Iâm getting bored cooped up at home, too. Do I really have to manage the family?â
Blancaâs dark eyes fluttered as she looked at Carrie expectantly.
That didnât just shut Carrie up and express that she was going to the Empire Group because she couldnât bear to part from Matthew, it was also a roundabout warning. Meaning that if she couldnât go to the Empire Group, she was going to stay and fight over the family!
âOh, thatâs...â
âMom, I think that itâs fine for Blanca to go to the office. She can get closer to Matthew that way, right?â
While Carrie was still hesitating, Louise had reacted and hurriedly tugged on Carrieâs arm, giving her a pointed look. Carrie stopped talking.
Louise was right.
Carrie immediately went all smiles and beamed, stroking Blancaâs hand. âI see. Itâs good for you to go to work, Blanca. I was just not considering things far enough. How about this? Go to the Empire Group and work, and letâs have Louise follow you. This way you can be companions.â
â...â Accompanied by Louise!?
How about she just keel over and die right here!
Blanca didnât have the tears to shed right now. Seeing Carrie and Louiseâs expectant gazes, she dug her nails into her palm and agreed.
So long as she could get in the office, she could do anything!
