Chapter 88
Valerie was anxious because she could not book a taxi. When she heard Matthew’s 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 Katherine’s situation. “Mr. Grant, can I be so bold as to ask you to help me out?” she said. “It may be a hassle, but I really need to make a trip to Vomez”
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 boss’s 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.
“Vomez is 110 miles from here, Matthew said. “It takes two hours to reach there. Can you make it in time!”
As he spoke, he lifted his phone. It was only then that she realized that he wasn’t rejecting her when he lowered his head earlier, Rather, he was checking the navigation on his phone.
Matthew’s 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, “I can make it there in time. I can make it there in time?
Matthew simply said. “Get in the car.
“Sure!” 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 Dylan’s 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 Dylan’s 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, “Don’t be overly concerned. Judging from what you said earlier, there are lots of people ar the wedding reception, so everything should be fine.”
Valerie nodded. Then, she could not help but force a sanile, saying, “Mr. Grant, do you think I’m making a big fuss over a minor issue? There’s clearly no basis for that, and it’s just my speculation, yet 1 sull insist on going over to take a look to put my mind at ease.”
But Matthew said, “Since she’s your friend, it’s 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 regrets”
Valerie thought so too. She didn’t dare to take chances
“By the way, you should still be at work, right?” she said. “You drive to Yomez with me right away. Will Mr. Hudson be upset if he finds out? Should you let him know?”
“It’s fine.” Matthew said. “He’s out of town on a business trip and doesn’t need this car. I’ll let him know later. His gaze was indifferent, thinking, Charles won’t have the guts to object
Valerie breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Mr. Grant
“No problem.” Manhew replied.
As the two of them spoke, the male colleague in the back seat was puzzled. He thought, Didn’t Valerie mention earlier that this guy is her husband? I’ve 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 good–looking person is so handsome! But for some reason, I can’t shake off the feeling that Valerie’s husband is somewhat familiar. I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before…
The male colleague was deep in thought when Valerie interrupted him.
Although Dylan’s wife didn’t 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 phone’s 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

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.
