Chapter 284
Lucy finally felt her physical burden lift after taking everything off. She even wanted to roar in delight after that.
She had planned to see Cillian along with Matthew after changing out of her clothes, but Arthur was having a meeting with Cillian at that moment. Meanwhile, Matthew was taking a phone call in the corridor. He was being mysterious about it and did not want Lucy to hear the conversation. "When are you coming back, Mr. Leon? Madam Leon is here at the office every day trying to find out where you are. I'm almost at my wit's end." Brett complained pitifully to Matthew. His location was not the only thing Gabriella was asking about.
Most of Matthew and Lucy's photos together, as well as anything that had to do with Lucy, had been thrown out.
Brett was in shock over this. He knew the difference in Matthew's attitude toward his mother and wife.
When he found out what she did, Brett did not dare allow Gabriella into Matthew's office anymore. He would stand firm guard outside Matthew's office no matter what.
However, Gabriella was still Madam Leon, after all, and Brett was just a lowly assistant. Every attempt he made to guard Matthew's office would earn him a huge scolding from Gabriella.
When Gabriella realized she could no longer enter Matthew's office, she was convinced that Matthew was hiding from her and avoiding all the blind dates.
That was when she decided to get her ideal daughter-in-law to work at Leon Corporation.
There was no way Matthew could avoid coming back to the office forever. All she needed was to get her future daughter-in-law to work here.
Something would spark between her and Matthew if they worked together long enough.
"Madam Leon has arranged for a secretary to start work at the office. There's nothing else I can do, Mr. Leon."
Brett reported everything that had happened, and Matthew frowned at the end.
"When have I wanted a new
secretary? What right does she have
secrerings in my company?
to pull
What
am Keven paying you for? Get that
woman out of my company."
The 'she' Matthew was referring to was his unreliable mother, Gabriella. Brett could tell that Matthew was furious.
"Please have mercy on me, Mr. Leon.
I have no right to do that. That woman is from Shelby Group, and she joined our company through legitimate means by going through our interview process. There's no reason for me to get rid of her from here."
Brett was almost crying. That woman was the daughter of the family who owned the country's leading company, Shelby Group.
She left her family business behind and chose to be a minor secretary at Leon Corporation.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
That meant she had an ulterior motive for this. No one else would do this. Matthew turned silent when he heard this.
Samantha Shelby, the woman who just refused to stop harassing him. It was not surprising that Brett could not do anything to her.
"Forget about it. Let her work there if she wants to. You can ignore my mother too. I won't return to the country during this time anyway." "Find a time to clean up everything in our company. Get a few trustworthy people and work on moving the company's headquarters over to Charleston."
Matthew instructed Brett in a hurried and anxious manner. He had thought about this long ago.
Lucy had found her parents and might choose to stay by their side for the next two years.
There was no way he would be separated from her, especially now that they knew the assassins were after Lucy.
Moreover, Arthur and Juliana had
officially made the announcement to the citizens of Charleston that Lucy was not dead. That would mean that the assassins would be planning something soon.
Matthew wanted to stay by Lucy's side to protect her.
Even if he could not protect her at her side, he had to arrange for bodyguards to ensure Lucy's safety at all times.
Brett was stunned to hear Matthew's instructions. What the hell? What was going on?
