Valerie was anxious because she could not book a taxi. When she heard Matthewâs words, she was first stunned for a moment before feeling a sense of wannth.
As if grabbing onto a lifeline, she quickly told him about Katherineâs situation. âMr. Grant, can I be so bold as to ask you to help me out?â she said. âIt may be a hassle, but I really need to make a trip to Vomezâ
With that said, she saw Matthew lowering his head silently.
Valerie immediately felt a little uncomfortable, thinking. I know he is busy with work. Besides, he is driving his bossâs car. I should not bother him during his working hours. Plus, whether Dylan would make a move on Katherine is just my guess after all!
With that in mind, Valerie was mentally prepared to be rejected. She knew that Matthew was someone who disliked hassle.
âVomez is 110 miles from here, Matthew said. âIt takes two hours to reach there. Can you make it in time!â
As he spoke, he lifted his phone. It was only then that she realized that he wasnât rejecting her when he lowered his head earlier, Rather, he was checking the navigation on his phone.
Matthewâs expression remained cold, and her voice did not have much fluctuation, but for Valerie at that moment, there was an inexplicable sense of security. It instantly warmed her whole being.
She quickly nodded and said, âI can make it there in time. I can make it there in time?
Matthew simply said. âGet in the car.
âSure!â Valerie hurriedly replied, But the car that had broken down still needed someone to take care of it, so one of the male colleagues went to Vomer with her while the other one stayed behind to keep an eye on the car.
As for Dylanâs wife, she felt that Valerie was being unreasonable and refused to follow Valerie no matter what was said. She even threatened that she wanted to go back to complain about Valerie and make her lose her job.
Valerie knew that even if Dylanâs wife way brought along, she would no longer cooperate in calling Dylan, so Valerie let her be. After Valerie and her male colleague got into the Land Rover. Matthew stepped on the accelerator. The car sped on the highway toward Vomez.
After getting into the car, Valerie called Katherine again, but there was still no answer.
Matthew calmly analyzed the situation for her, saying, âDonât be overly concerned. Judging from what you said earlier, there are lots of people ar the wedding reception, so everything should be fine.â
Valerie nodded. Then, she could not help but force a sanile, saying, âMr. Grant, do you think Iâm making a big fuss over a minor issue? Thereâs clearly no basis for that, and itâs just my speculation, yet 1 sull insist on going over to take a look to put my mind at ease.â
But Matthew said, âSince sheâs your friend, itâs only right that you care about her. If something really were to happen and you regretted not taking action, it would be too late for regretsâ
Valerie thought so too. She didnât dare to take chances
âBy the way, you should still be at work, right?â she said. âYou drive to Yomez with me right away. Will Mr. Hudson be upset if he finds out? Should you let him know?â
âItâs fine.â Matthew said. âHeâs out of town on a business trip and doesnât need this car. Iâll let him know later. His gaze was indifferent, thinking, Charles wonât have the guts to object
Valerie breathed a sigh of relief and said, âThank you, Mr. Grant
âNo problem.â Manhew replied.
As the two of them spoke, the male colleague in the back seat was puzzled. He thought, Didnât Valerie mention earlier that this guy is her husband? Iâve seen married couples who are not close, but this level of unfamiliarity is a first for me. But Valerie is truly something. Even the husband of a goodâlooking person is so handsome! But for some reason, I canât shake off the feeling that Valerieâs husband is somewhat familiar. I feel like Iâve seen him somewhere beforeâ¦
The male colleague was deep in thought when Valerie interrupted him.
Although Dylanâs wife didnât manage to trick Dylan into revealing his exact location, the scope had at least narrowed down from Vomez to Resburn County
Smaller locations had their advantages. There were not many stores related to weddings. Valerie changed her phoneâs location settings to Resburri County. Then, she used various apps to search for highly ranked flower shops and cake shops in Resburn County. After that, she and her male colleague divided the work, calling each store une by one according to dicir rankings and asking if there were wedding planners who had placed

significant orders today.
Unknowingly, nightfall gradually descended outside the window. The sky was dark, and one could almost hear the sound of the wind whooshing
by
Valerie hurried out in the afternoon and was only wearing a thin shirt. Just as she was wondering why she did not feel cold, she realized that Matthew had quietly turned on the heater at some point.
