In the end, the crown prince made the final decision on the matter of Lucy's agent, and their meal had
also come to an end.
After the nine Heads of the families apologized to Matthew and the crown prince, everyone dispersed.
Then, the crown prince left with Melvin, leaving Matthew and Lucy behind.
As she stood alone with Matthew, Lucy's heartbeat immediately began to speed up, and even her
breathing became a little short-winded as she couldn't help but think of what happened last night.
After all that she had experienced, there was no longer any trace of disgust in Lucy's eyes when she
looked at Matthew again.
On the contrary, she was already deeply attracted to this taciturn man.
Especially during the situation last night, Matthew's calmness during the chaos made her feel that he
was different from the rest.
This time, as she trailed behind him, Lucy didn't reject him anymore, and she was even looking forward
to something happening later.
On the other hand, Matthew didn't think too much of it.
For him, meeting Lucy was just a coincidence.He admired her stubbornness and kindness, so he gave
her a hand, but he had no other thoughts about her at all.
After all, none of the girls around Matthew were any worse than Lucy.
Whether it was Sasha or Leanna, or Jinny who had returned to Orleans, their figures and appearances
were far superior to Lucy.
Even the crown prince's mother, Poison Spider, who was as vicious as a snake, was far better than
Lucy.
Hence, Lucy's beauty that she took pride in was nothing but ordinary to Matthew.
Walking to the car the crown prince had left behind, Matthew glanced at Lucy and asked, "Where do
you live? I'll take you back first."
Lucy looked a little disappointed as she actually wanted Matthew to take her home.
However, when she recalled the previous night when they were together, Matthew didn't do anything to
her.So, how would Matthew take her home tonight? At that thought, she smiled at herself mockingly
and mumbled the location of her hotel.
As Matthew drove the car and headed to the hotel, Lucy glanced at him quietly from time to time.
The more she looked at him, the more attractive she found him, and the more she felt trapped.
However, from beginning to end, Matthew drove intently and didn't spare her a single glance at all,
which disappointed her.
Soon, the car arrived at the hotel, and Matthew stopped the car.
"We're here."
Lucy felt a pang of pain in her heart.She knew that she should get out of the car, but she really didn't
want to.
That was because after they parted ways this time, she didn't know when she would see Matthew
again, and it was even possible that they might never meet again in her life.She felt a little despondent.
For the first time in her life, she felt that she was in love with someone.
However, she was going to be separated from this person again.
There was nothing more painful in life than this, right? Fighting back the tears in her eyes, Lucy
whispered, "Thank you, Matthew.What's your account number? Should I transfer these compensation
fees to you?"
Matthew glanced at her.
"Why should you? This is the company's compensation for the termination and breach of your contract,
so you deserve it.What will happen to that if you transfer it to me?"
Lucy whispered, "Matthew, I know that President Abbott gave me this...this money for your sake.In fact,
I-I'm very lucky to get this contract.I really can't accept this money!"
Matthew laughed.
"Do you think that I helped you just because of the money?"
Lucy hurriedly waved her hand in denial.
"That's not what I meant, Matthew, you've misunderstood.I-l mean that, this money is a compensation
from President Abbott to you, which is why I wanted to give it to you.I...I really didn't mean it any other
way...
