The Woman From Hell

Chapter 383

I was startled for a moment when I saw Matthew after entering the departure lounge. He did notmention that he would be going too.

"Are you surprised?" Matthew walked toward me. He smiled and asked.

I pursed my lips. "You didn't tell me that you're going t o Salt City too."

He raised his brows. "You’re not happy that I'm going with you?"

"No, that’s not it." I waved my arms hurriedly.

Matthew took the luggage that I was holding and said calmly, "If I had told you I'd be going to SaltCity with you yesterday, would Theo have agreed?"

I imagined that for a moment and let out a small sigh." Probably not."

We boarded the plane at eight o'clock. The airplane landed in Salt City's airport at ten o'clock.

After Matthew and I got off the plane, we went straight to the hotel. We rested in our rooms for twohours before going to a restaurant.

"What’s the purpose of our trip to Salt City this time?" I asked in a soft tone when I sat on my seat.

"I invited the president of Magnificent Entertainment Company to talk about the acquisition."Matthew crossed his arms and looked at me with a faint smile." Am I a man of action?"

I was so surprised that my jaw dropped.

He was superb!

After lunch, we went back to our rooms. I received a call from Theo.

His voice was muffled, and he sounded like he was in a bad mood. "Matthew went to Salt City too."

It was an affirmative sentence.

I let out a small sigh. "I didn’t know about it until I got t o the airport."

Theo snorted. "I'm not too sure about that."

How enigmatic of him!

I was going to discuss something with Matthew later. I said helplessly, "We came here because heasked the president of Magnificent Entertainment Company to meet us regarding the acquisition.How could he possibly not come?"

Theo replied with a light 'mhm' and did not continue this topic. "Remember to eat on time. Don’tdrink. If your head still hurts, ask the hotel staff to get you some painkillers. And don’t forget what Isaid before-within five days."

I felt like he was becoming more and more like a mother. "I know. I’m already an adult. I know howto take care of myself."

"Don't stay in the same room as Matthew!” Theo suddenly snapped.

"Alright, alright, alright." I lifted my arm and glanced a t the watch on my wrist. "There's something Ineed to d o. Talk to you later."

I let out a long sigh of relief after I hung up the phone.

Was Theo previously this naggy?

I left the room and went to the tea lounge at one o'clock. I found a place to sit down. Not long afterthat, Matthew came.

"You don't look so good." Matthew sat opposite me, asking with a smile.

I shot him a glance helplessly. "Theo knows you've come to Salt City with me."

Matthew seemed like he was not surprised. "Then what does he want? He wants you to go back?"

"No." I chuckled. "He asked me not to stay in the same room as you."

Matthew smiled. "It looks like he doesn't trust me."

I shrugged my shoulders and said nothing more.

"You're asking for it again, huh!" When I was about to leave with Matthew, a man was yelling in thelounge. The noise caught our attention.

"I know I made a mistake. Please stop beating me." A woman’s voice was heard. She was askingfor forgiveness and I furrowed my brows tightly.

Was this a case of domestic violence happening in public?

I found this hard to believe. This was a five-star hotel. People who were able to come here werewealthy and respectable. Logically speaking, they would be too proud to air their dirty laundry inpublic.
