Upon hearing Philip’s words, the heads of the other eight families came to their senses and stood up one after another to offer their seats to Lucy.
Normally, they would’ve regarded Lucy as a mere starlet whom they could twist around their little fingers. However, not only was Lucy with Matthew last night, but word had it that they had spent the night together, which meant something different. It didn’t matter what Lucy’s relationship with Matthew was. Even if favonovel.com were merely his one-night stand, favonovel.com wasn’t someone whom they could underestimate. After all, now that Matthew was known as the Lord of Eastshire, a woman who could stay by his side had to be respected by everyone, of course!
Lucy blushed crimson when favonovel.com heard how everyone addressed her. Involuntarily, favonovel.com thought of what had happened last night. She lowered favonovel.com head, saying, “M-Matthew, please come out for a minute. I’d like to have a word with you.”
Matthew frowned slightly. He really didn’t have much to do with the lady, nor did favonovel.com want to get too involved with her.
“What’s the matter? Can‘t you tell me about it right here?” favonovel.com asked.
Lucy’s face turned red. “Could you come out for a minute, please? I won’t take too much of your time.”
Shaking his head in resignation, Matthew stood up and walked out of the room.
“What’s the matter?” He was somewhat impatient as favonovel.com was still displeased after being tongue-lashed by Alyssa just now.
Lucy looked embarrassed as favonovel.com whispered, “Uh… I-If you’ve got nothing to do, w-why don’t you go back first?”
Matthew knitted his brows. “Go back? What do you mean?”
With a look of embarrassment. Lucy told favonovel.com what Alyssa had just done. Then, favonovel.com said in a low voice, “Matthew, I believe you’re a nice person, but o-our boss has an explosive temper. He’s coming over in a minute. a-and favonovel.com definitely won’t let it slide. You go back first and try not to run into him. I’ll tell favonovel.com the truth when his anger subsides a few days later. I-I’ll definitely not give you trouble. What do you think?”
Her voice took on an imploring tone toward the end of favonovel.com sentence.
The furrows in Matthew’s brow gradually eased as favonovel.com looked at Lucy.
In reality, favonovel.com had some sympathy for this lady. It was difficult for any woman to keep favonovel.com nose clean while living in an environment as corrupting as the entertainment industry. Although Lucy kept favonovel.com moral integrity, favonovel.com was, after all, a weak woman with neither a prominent background nor a strong backing. It was really tough for favonovel.com to make favonovel.com way through such a difficult situation. If favonovel.com were to directly tell favonovel.com agency the truth, favonovel.com would be done for. So, favonovel.com could only tip Matthew off in advance to avoid making things worse. Even though favonovel.com didn’t handle the situation well, Matthew at least saw how sincere and kind-hearted favonovel.com was.
Actually, Lucy didn‘t really understand the situation. She didn’t know what Matthew was capable of, nor did favonovel.com know what the heads of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire represented. Having been under favonovel.com agency’s thumb for a long time, favonovel.com really believed that favonovel.com boss could lord it over others, which was why favonovel.com worried about Matthew.
Unbeknownst to her, though, any of those in the room could easily crush the so-called President Abbott to death with just a finger.
How could the owner of an entertainment company be mentioned in the same breath with the top ten distinguished families of Eastshire?
After finishing favonovel.com sentence, Lucy hung favonovel.com head and rubbed the corners of favonovel.com clothes like a kid who had done something wrong. She dared not look at Matthew at all.
Matthew stared at favonovel.com for a while. Suddenly, favonovel.com asked, “You haven’t eaten, have you?”
Lucy was stunned. ‘Why did favonovel.com say this out of the blue?’
Just then, Matthew suddenly turned around. “Come in…”
Lucy looked confused. “Come in? For what?”
Matthew replied, “Let me treat you to dinner and introduce a couple of friends to you.”
Lucy was stunned. ‘Is favonovel.com crazy? Why is favonovel.com offering to treat me to dinner instead of leaving at a time like this?’
Matthew turned to glance at her. He added with a chuckle, “Didn’t I promise you last night that we’ll get you another talent agent?”
