Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

Blanca had been lying against the sofa. Now she sat up.

She didn’t know what had happened between Kylie and Todd, but she and Todd were past tense now!

“Blanca, I…”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up.” Blanca bit her lip. Her only flaw as a person was probably that she was soft-hearted, especially to people she’d once cared for.

Kylie had introduced her to Todd in the first place. The two of them were college classmates. Back then, Blanca was working already, and occasionally had meals with Kylie. With that back and forth, she met Todd more often, who then started courting her.

Blanca settled her thoughts and was about to hang up when there came a sudden exclamation from the other end. “I won’t give up so easily, Blanca!”

Blanca had already hung up.

Her feelings were in the past, dust in the wind.

“Who was that?”

The sudden voice startled Blanca. She almost tossed the phone out as she jumped. Then she found that Matthew had appeared before her at some point. “A friend.”

“Just a friend?” Matthew walked over, looking down upon Blanca from the bedside, lips curving. “Or an ex-boyfriend?”

Blanca’s gaze drooped and she didn’t speak.

Her fist tightened, though.

It wasn’t because she was lonely without Todd, but… what right did Matthew have to talk to her like that? What did he think he was doing? Catching her out?

“Don’t forget who you are, Blanca.”

The low tone made him sound exactly like a man who’d caught his wife cheating.

And that pissed Blanca off!

“So what if my ex called? So what if we decided to reignite the old flame? Aren’t you butting in a bit too much, Mr. Grant?” Blanca bit her lip, raising up and looking Matthew dead in the eyes, her posture stubborn.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She was only in a shifty nightgown right now, showing her smooth leg and collarbone. From where Matthew stood, he could see that she wasn’t wearing anything else underneath…

And she just had to raise her head up at him.

His throat suddenly moved.

As his gaze slowly darkened, Blanca was still pissed as she looked up at him. What, did he really think he was something else just for standing a little bit higher? She leaned against the bedrest and stood up on the bed, barefoot. “I’m telling you right here and now, Matthew Grant. We’re cooperating. Cooperating, got it? And in a cooperation, what’s important is to get ourselves in a win-win situation. We’re in an equal position. I’m acting that you’re my husband well enough out there, but my private love life isn’t something for you to pry into, is it?”

With Matthew leaving her at the mall today, Blanca had been holding a grudge for a full day.

If he really wasn’t afraid of rumors of them arguing spreading out, why would he leave her there?

Of course, what she didn’t know was that the whole mall had Matthew’s investments in it, and nobody would have dared spread any rumors about what happened.

“Private love life?”

“Right. And who I call along with and who I interact with is my own business.”

Matthew suddenly drew close, one long leg kneeling on the bed, and reached out, pushing Blanca down! He leant up, disregarding Blanca’s struggles, and grinned, “So you’re planning on seeing this ex of yours?”

“I… why yes. Yes I am.” She hadn’t planned to give Todd the time of day, but Blanca was all in now!

Still, at this moment, she was lying in bed, sitting up slightly with her upper body, while Matthew separated her legs with his knee and pressed on her…
