Matthew sat on the swivel chair and turned around while checking out Hailey's office and clicking his tongue.

"Your office's interior looks a little old-fashioned and dull. It's like what an office of an old man in his forties would look like."

Matthew looked at the furnishings of the traditional furniture and some ragged antique paintings. "My ex is an interior designer. I'll recommend her to you. Renovate this room."

"No, thanks."

Hailey looked at the information Chris handed her and grunted without raising

her head, "Number one, don't question and judge my taste. Number two, if a man in his forties is an old man, you are middle-aged now Number three, you

are already annoying, so keep your exes out of my sight I'm not as idle as you. I have other things to do."

Matthew touched his lips and looked at Chris. "Hey, does your boss always talk

like that? Counting one, two, three, and stating everything clearly? Does she have some obsession over numbers or something?"

Seeing that Hailey didn't say anything, Chris replied to Matthew, "No. Miss Newman will only do this to you, Mr. Holland." "Is that so? So, does it mean that I'm quite special?" Instead of feeling humiliated, he was proud.

Chris silently closed his mouth and could not help but want to roll his eyes at him.

"You ARE quite special." Hailey put away the folder, looked up at Matthew, and

said, "You're very shameless." "Aw, I'm only shameless when I'm with a pretty woman." Matthew grinned. Hailey simply rolled her eyes. She looked at the time and changed her high heels to a flat one as she urged, "Let's go." Just as she was about to go out, a figure in dark blue clothes appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of her.

Today, Owen was wearing a dark blue suit with dark stripes. His tall and

straight figure emphasized the high-quality bespoke suit. Hailey knew his taste in fashion and clothes. He did not like the ready-made luxury brands in the shopping malls. All his suit were hand-made. It was not very expensive material, and the style was even a little outdated, but it felt extremely comfortable when he wore it. Only he could make a normal suit look like it was a Haute Couture suit. Nobility, charismatic, and elegance were vividly reflected in him. Just now, Hailey did not even bat an eye on him when they were at downstairs. Now that he appeared in front of her abruptly, it made her feel absent- minded

and apprehensive for a moment. "Oh, did you come up by yourself? We were just about to go down." Matthew called out to Owen. "How did you get up here?" Hailey frowned unhappily. Chris was also shocked and interrogated his staff about their negligence. How could they let someone in without an appointment?! The assistants of the president's office apologized again and again. Witnessing the scene, Abby knew that she had caused trouble again and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Miss Newman. I thought that he had an appointment, so I took the initiative to take him here... Please, it's all my fault. Please don't blame my sister."

Chloe Thomas, the executive assistant, was sweating profusely and wanted to knock some sense into Abby's head. "Is she your sister?" Hailey looked at Chloe. "Yes! I'm sorry, Miss Newman. I didn't guide her well. I promise this won't happen again!" Chloe bowed and apologized. Hailey quipped expressionlessly, "If I remember correctly, this is the second time she has done something like this. Your precious little sister was the one who called last time to ask for an appointment, right?"

"Y-Y-Yes.' Chloe bowed her head so low that she almost kissed her own waist.

"Okay." Hailey asserted in a faint tone, "I don't mind you doting on your sister, but you can't let it affect your work performance. Give her an extra month of salary and send her to the human resources department."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Newman. I've caused you trouble!" Abby's eyes were red.

Hailey said lightly, "You're still too young and immature. Take this matter as a

lesson for you. Everyone likes handsome guys, but it doesn't mean that all handsome men are kind. Do you understand?" "Yes, I understand." Seeing that she was about to lose her job, Abby cried until tears drenched her face. Just as Abby and Chloe were about to go out of the office, Owen snapped, "Wait."

He looked at Hailey and said, "It's me who asked her to take me here. She's just a receptionist. You don't have to put her in a difficult situation. If you're upset, come at me."

Matthew winked at Owen desperately while mouthing silently, "Shut up! Why

are you acting like a hero?"

Hailey looked at Owen silently and couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Moore, do you have a hero complex? You seem to be very heroic when you see damsels in distress and want to protect them. If you cherished these damsels so much, you should not seduce them with your charm. It's you who caused her to be fired, not me." Hailey then donned a cold expression. "We have our own rules and regulations, so it doesn't matter what you say. If you like her or pity her, go ahead and hire her as your secretary. No one will stop you." Owen frowned in confusion. He was only speaking up for the receptionist, but why did Hailey presume that he liked her? What the hell was this? "Chris." "Yes." Chris immediately stepped forward, Hailey instructed in a stern voice, "Tell the bodyguards downstairs and the front

desk to recognize Mr. Moore's face. If anyone let the person in without an appointment, just drag them to the human resources." Chapter 045 +

"Yes!" Chris's heart tightened. "I will inform them right now!" Then, he stepped forward to stand in front of Owen and pointed at the elevator. "Mr. Moore, Miss Newman is busy. This way, please." Owen was not a pushover. He stood still stubbornly. Suddenly, the atmosphere turned gloomy and heavy. Matthew cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over. "Alright now. It's

just a small matter. Why do you have to make a big deal out of it?" Standing in the middle of the stallment, he looked at his left and right before patting Owen's shoulder, "Hey, buddy, can you restrain your charm? Can't you see that Hailey is jealous?" Jealous? Owen and Hailey looked up simultaneously. Hailey was dumbfounded. Her face turned red, and she snapped, "Matthew!" Jealous? No! "I'm not deaf. You don't have to shout so loudly." Matthew dug his ears and said to Hailey, "Alright, don't be angry. Don't you

know him? He's just a pathetically honest man who is doomed to be alone. Women may use a honey trap on him, but him using a honey trap on the young ladies? Hah! He won't do something so ridiculous even if you put a knife on his neck and force him. I know that you still have feelings for him. After all, you have been husband and wife for three years. You need some time to calm down, let go, and move on, right? "You can still be friends after divorce. You don't need to be strangers forever.

Also, you can do business together, don't you think so?" Hailey looked at Matthew coldly, and a sneer appeared on her lips. "We can be

friends after divorce', huh?" "Yes." Matthew nodded.

"What if we can't even be lovers in the first place?"
