Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

That was not what she meant!

Blanca glared at Matthew but he seemed to neglect the way she scowled at him. He asked, “Can we go now?”

By the end of the sentence, Blanca took her purse and walked straight out of there regardless of Matthew.

But when she got to that car outside, she found out that it was locked by Matthew and there was no way in. She had to lean on the car and wait for him to come.

“Blanca.”

“Hmm?”

All of a sudden, she heard a voice and was held against the car door just as she was turning around. Matthew leaned on the car windows and confined her with his strong arms. She had no way out. He just lowered his head and looked right into her eyes.

“Matthew, what are you doing…”

“You taught me this…” Matthew grinned and came closer. He kissed gently on her delicate earlobe and she could even feel the warmth of his breath, which made her body tremble a little bit.

How could she take this…

“May I kiss you?”

She could hear him chuckling near her ears. Since she had said that he couldn’t kiss her without her consent, then he would follow the rules anyways.

Blanca felt like her heart was pounding aloud and she could clearly hear her heartbeats. And it was around 8 o’clock in the evening and there were still a lot of people out there.

If they kissed, wouldn’t many people see them?

“Woah…”

She felt a soft kiss on her lips but that was it. Matthew let go of her very quickly, leaving Blanca in astonishment. He took out his car key and opened the door. She was pushed into the passenger seat and the car sped off.

Blanca couldn’t help touching her lips and her mind started wandering.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang and Blanca took it out. It was a voice message from Isabel.

Blanca didn’t think twice about and put it on speaker.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Blanca, there’s one thing that I’ve been struggling about whether to tell you or not. But I’m gonna tell you anyway now. Last night when I just got off work, I saw Mr. Grant leaving with Miss Roach. You better keep an eye on your man or…”

Before the voice message ended, Blanca put her hand on the speaker and was quite embarrassed.

She didn’t expect Matthew to hear that.

“Well, don’t think too much about this. She likes telling jokes,” Blanca explained awkwardly.

The atmosphere changed instantly.

When they arrived home, it was getting dark already. However, Matthew suddenly said, “Blanca.”

“Hah? Anything else you wanna say? If it’s okay, I wanna go to my room and have some rest,” Blanca forced herself to say.

She had been having strange feelings about Matthew now…

They weren’t actually a couple. But why did he continue to do such intimate things to mislead her?

Matthew abruptly approached her and walked upstairs with her. Blanca thought he had already forgot about the voice message. But when they got inside, Matthew undid his suit jacket and turned to Blanca, “Why did you come to Empire Group today?”

“I… I went to grab a bite with Isabel.”

“Really? Just that?”

Matthew clearly didn’t buy it.

He sat on the couch and looked grim and tentative. Blanca knew she couldn’t keep any secrets from him so she gave up lying about what happened, “I wanted to discuss something with you.”

“And what was it?”

Actually, when Blanca left the house, Mrs. Brown called him and told him about what happened in the afternoon.

So, Matthew knew everything.
