Clarissa grabbed the blanket and sat up. Meanwhile, Matthew was changing his clothes with his back facing her.
Even though he looked muscular and tall, the scratches on his back were a fly in the ointment.
Clarissa blushed and immediately lowered her gaze to look at her fingernails. She rarely kept long fingernails because she always had to type on a computer. This time, her fingernails were long as she hadn’t typed out any document for quite some time.
Wait a minute, why is there something like meat floss beneath my fingernails? Well, he can’t blame me because he tormented me last night!
Moreover, he refused to let me go even after I begged him.
Humph! I’m kind enough to leave some mere scratches on his back!
Once she looked up again, Matthew was straightening his necktie and staring at her. He put on a slight smile as he watched the change of her expressions.
The next moment, Clarissa withdrew her fingers and pursed her lips with dissatisfaction.
“Why are you staring at me?”
“It’s because you’re beautiful!”
She was rendered speechless.
Clarissa really wanted to roll her eyes at him. However, she couldn’t hide her smile and tried to comb her messy hair.
After a while, when Matthew rubbed her hair again, she looked up at him and said purposely, “I didn’t wash my hair yesterday.”
Matthew replied smilingly, “Oh, no wonder it smells.”
“What do you mean it smells?”
As Clarissa got a little nervous, she grabbed her hair and brought her nose close to it. I don’t think it’s smelly!
Suddenly, Matthew kissed her lips as she lifted her gaze to talk to him. She whined twice but seemed to have gotten used to it.
After letting go of her lips, he gently wiped away the saliva on the corner of her mouth and stood up.
Clarissa’s face flushed red.
Since Matthew kept staring at her, she couldn’t help but drive him off. “You don’t want to be late, do you? Just get going.”
Unexpectedly, Matthew comfortably sat beside her and didn’t intend to leave.
“Clare, have you forgotten that I’m the boss of the company?”
“Oh? Can the boss be late as he wishes?”
Matthew simpered. “No. But I am not getting a bonus for turning up on time every day.”
In other words, he can be late as he wishes.
She just rolled her eyes at him. A moment later, she gazed at her pajamas, which were thrown to the floor by him, and instructed, “Get me my pajamas.”
“Clare, you’re being rude. Take them yourself.”
“I…”
Judging from his naughty stare, Clarissa knew that he did it on purpose.
As such, she was rendered speechless and could only stare at him furiously. Nevertheless, Matthew was totally unperturbed.
She had no choice but to do it by herself. First, she wrapped the blanket around her body, making her look like a huge bun. Being on the alert to avoid an ambush by Matthew, she slowly got out of bed to pick up the pajamas.
Unfortunately, her wariness proved to be futile. Before she could reach the pajamas, Matthew carried her body with the blanket and brought her into the bathroom despite her screams of protest.
Although the noise continued in the bathroom, it was uncertain if she was protesting or moaning.
When Clarissa dressed up and went downstairs, she saw that Matthew had already put on a new set of suits.
As usual, a handsome wolf in sheep’s clothing!
However, because Clarissa was a little irritated, she shot him a few deadly glares.
Matthew didn’t leave her in the house alone but “abducted” her to his company instead.
Given that she didn’t have a desk job, she could hardly look for an excuse to stop him from bringing her along. Moreover, she didn’t have freedom because her studio was inside the same building as Matthew’s office.
After arriving at Tyson Corporation, she stood near the window on the top floor. Watching the sunlight streaming in through the window, she couldn’t help but sigh.
She took a selfie and edited it for quite some time before posting it on social media.
After that, she played some mobile games and read a novel. When she scrolled through the feed on Twitter, she realized that the police had called Shermaine up several times for investigation. Although the police didn’t openly accuse her of committing any crime, netizens largely believed that she was the mastermind behind many despicable crimes. In other words, they had found her guilty before the court did.
Clarissa was delighted over the news about Shermaine. In fact, she hadn’t received any news that was as exciting as this for quite some time.
Out of delight, she sent some gift coupons to her social media group.
Those gift coupons meant a lot to her, but definitely far less than what was usually given out by her wealthy friends.
She did it anyway as a means of celebrating her joy.
Initially, she thought that her wealthy friends would give a nonchalant shrug at those coupons. Much to her surprise, they were grabbed within seconds.
Yarick’s message read: Clarissa, what put you in such a good mood? Why did you give us coupons?
Jeremy’s message read: Clarissa has just received one hell of a gift. How could she not be happy about it?
Justin’s message read: Since the post-production for her film is completed, it’s time for her to give out some gift coupons to celebrate it.
Clarissa was excited when she read the message.
Really? That’s quick! Director Yates, you’re awesome!
Yarick replied to her message: Hey, Yates, Clarissa said you’re awesome. Luckily, Matt never reads the message in this group, or else he will be jealous.
The next moment, Matthew replied: Hehe!
Fearful!
Fearful!
Fearful!
When many fearful face emojis appeared, Clarissa couldn’t help but chuckle. Then, she lifted her gaze to glance at Matthew.
He seems to be concentrating on his work. What a hypocrite!
Clarissa immediately replied in the group: Everyone here is awesome! You’re all more awesome than me!
Yarick’s message read: Clarissa complimented us! I blushed!
Jeremy also repeated: Clarissa complimented us! I blushed!
Shortly afterward, another two of their friends repeated the same message too.
Clarissa was amused and couldn’t help but chuckle again. Although she wasn’t sure what was on Matthew’s mind, she really felt that they were funny.
I guess the outsiders can hardly believe that the trailblazing leaders in their respective fields are actually that funny!
However, Matthew is definitely the most hypocritical one.
As she was thinking about him, she unknowingly lifted her gaze. Coincidentally, she saw that Matthew was already staring at her.
She stuck out his tongue, let out a wry smile, and tilted her head mischievously.
“Mr. Tyson, Tyson Corporation is going to fall if you don’t concentrate on your work!”
As Matthew raised his beautifully arched brows, a sense of delight flashed across his obsidian eyes.
At this moment, Matthew was exuding his charm as though he wanted to seduce Clarissa.
Just as Matthew expected, Clarissa was lovesick again and kept staring at him. She only recollected herself as he chuckled softly.
“Darling, do you like it?”
Clarissa’s lips twitched. Luckily, he didn’t provoke me with the classic line. Do you like what you see?
Clarissa laughed embarrassedly and said, “Mr. Tyson, Don’t seduce me on purpose and get back to your work. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”
She turned around with her back facing Matthew. When he chuckled again, his magnetic and mellow tone of voice made her ear turn read. Unknowingly, she felt that he was letting out hot air near her ears like last night.
As she was lost in thought, she felt that her face and her body felt warmer. Besides, even the temperature in the room seemed to be rising quickly.
In particular, the heat exuded from Matthew’s gaze seemed to be very real.
Since Clarissa probably couldn’t bear with it anymore, she immediately stood up and walked out of the president’s office without even telling Matthew.
On the other hand, Matthew chuckled softly and shook his head. Deep in his heart, he felt like devouring Clarissa because she looked cute when she blushed.
Nevertheless, he understood that that wasn’t a proper place to do anything to her.
Apart from Clarissa and Matthew, only Donnie was on the top floor. Clarissa took some time to calm herself down once she exited the president’s office.
After the elevator let out a warbled ‘ding’, a young woman, who looked smart in her professional outfit, walked out and headed to Donnie’s office with some documents in her hand.
Her eyes glimmered the moment she walked past Clarissa.
On the other hand, Clarissa gave her a faint smile as a gesture to greet her. Although Clarissa continued looking at her phone, she was actually deep in thought.
The office of the president’s secretaries was located downstairs. Back then, when she was working here, she heard that all those secretaries graduated from renowned universities worldwide. As such, their capabilities, physical strength, and intelligence far exceeded ordinary people.
To be exact, all the employees of Tyson Corporation were outstanding.
The woman was probably one of the secretaries from the president’s office. Her graceful and professional manner was the qualities that Clarissa admired very much.
After that, she continued to ponder over her article about workplaces and felt that some corrections were needed.
When she was deep in thought, Donnie and the secretary walked out of the office together. At the same time, a few elites exited the elevator once it opened.
The foremost among them was a young and gorgeous lady.
Clarissa quietly observed the lady who looked like their superior. Coincidentally, since Clarissa felt that some qualities about the female superior in her book were missing, she wished to get some inspiration from this lady. Suddenly, the lady turned around and glanced at Clarissa.
Instantly, Clarissa felt uncomfortable due to her piercing gaze.
Nonetheless, Clarissa decided to put on a smile so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself.
On the contrary, the lady looked at Clarissa with her cold-eyed and disdainful gaze.
After she scanned Clarissa from head to toe, Donnie led her to Matthew’s office.
Clarissa couldn’t help but chuckle quietly.
Nitpicking? Disdain?
She felt deeply uncomfortable when the lady glanced at her.
What did she mean?
Clarissa soon felt upset. Was she looking down on me?
As Clarissa knitted her brows, she decided to turn the female superior in her book into a detestable character.
When the secretary came out, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and wanted to ask who the lady was.
Perhaps because her curiosity was written all over her face, the secretary came up to her and said before Clarissa asked, “Ms. Quigley, she’s Michelle Watson, the director of the Tyson Corporation’s branch in Moranta. She knew the president when they studied at the same university in Moranta. So, she is the president’s junior.”
Tsk!
The description of the lady was short, yet Clarissa could imagine a lot of connotations on the word “junior.”
