“Why?”
Valerie did not want Matthew to see her embarrassment and quickly smiled. “No, Mr. Grant. You’ve misunderstood. I just feel that it’s a little late, and I need to go back to my room to wash up. I still have to go to work tomorrow morning.”
Matthew said, “Then turn around and lo at me.”
Valerie was not sure if it was her imagination, but although Matthew’s aura was very strong, his tone sounded inexplicably like a child who wanted candy but did
not get any.
However, Matthew looked as though he did not allow her to think of him as childish. She could only smile and turn to look at him.
After many years of experience as a salesperson, she knew how to smile naturally and please the customers. Sure enough, after seeing her smile, Matthew’s expression seemed to ease up a little. Then, he took half a step back to let her go.
It was rare to meet someone who was not afraid of him after so many years. To be honest, he had become much more comfortable with her recently.
Matthew was very satisfied.
However, when he turned around, his eyes were a little surprised. Matthew was surprised at himself. He had waited for Valerie until midnight. He was surprised that she wanted to go to her room immediately when she returned. He subconsciously wanted to stop her… Only when he saw her tense figure did he suddenly come back to his senses and change the topic.
Matthew didn’t want to scare Valerie.
When Matthew returned to his room, Valerie heaved a sigh of relief. However, what followed was an indescribable sense of fatigue.
She wondered why her interaction with him seemed to be more tiring than the first few days.
When Valerie returned to her room she received a call from Katherine.

This was the first time in two days that Katherine had taken the initiative to call her. Valerie quickly forgot about the matter and nervously asked Katherine about the situation.
“Valerie, don’t worry. I’m fine, but I plan to resign from the company. Working is too tiring.”
Valerie smiled. “Alright, you do what’s best for you.”
“I plan to rest for a while and start the electronic sports team. When the time. comes, I’ll lay my cards on the table with Caleb and give him a surprise.”
Katherine did not need that little bit of income. Her family was influential and wealthy. She could do anything that made her happy. There would always be someone willing to back her up.
Katherine seemed to be in a good mood. The two of them chatted some more. This time, it was Katherine who could not help but ask her, “Valerie, is there something on your mind?”
This young lady was usually not sharp but she was very smart this time. Valerie was suffocated by the question, so she quickly brushed it off and ended the call. Then Valerie’s phone rang again.
Even Julian and Ashley did not know the details of Valerie and Matthew’s marriage. Valerie only told Katherine.
Valerie also felt like talking to someone now. Since she thought that Katherine called, Valerie finally answered, “Katherine…”
Valerie was a little hesitant. “I smelled another woman’s perfume on Mr. Grant’s jacket, but I don’t think Mr. Grant is that kind of person. Do you think I should ask him what’s going on?”
Valerie did not expect what she was going to hear next.
As soon as she finished speaking, Valerie heard, “What? Val, how dare your husband do such a thing!”
Although the noise on the other end of the phone affected the sound quality, it was not difficult to tell that the voice belonged to Sophia. Valeria was shocked. She

quickly looked at the screen of the phone ealized that the caller was indeed Sophia and not Katherine.
The old lady sounded infuriated.
“Val, you can’t let this matter off just like that. Young people nowadays really don’t have good morals. How dare your husband cheat on you and let you down! It’s so infuriating! Let me tell you! You can’t let this matter rest just like that!”
