Teasing Crystal
Matthew still wanted to say something, but Helen had already hung up, leaving him confused.
Successfully bid this project at all costs?
Matthew didn’t even know how big the project was––much less the exact situation that was going on, so
how could he ask Leanna to sign the contract with them just like that?
Nevertheless, he knew that it was meaningless to argue with Helen over this matter.
To her, he should help Jonah out since they were a family. As for what the actual matter was, she
couldn’t care less.
After pondering for a moment, Matthew decided to give Leanna a call to understand the actual situation.
As soon as the call was answered, Leanna’s lazy voice emerged from the other end. “Well, Mr. Larson,
you’re actually free to give me a call today.”
Her tone was lazy and coquettish as if she was talking to a close friend.
Matthew smiled awkwardly and briefed her about the situation.
Leanna pouted. “Oh, so it’s something related to work. I thought you called me simply because you
missed me.”
Matthew was rendered speechless while Leanna chuckled.
“There, there. I’m just kidding. I’ve heard of the Gonzalez Corporation which you’ve mentioned. What’s
on your mind?”
Matthew asked, “About this collaboration––is it very important?”
Leanna replied, “Fairly. It has some impacts on the company’s future prospects…but not too much. It’s
not an issue if you’d like me to sign the contract with Gonzalez Corporation.”
Matthew sighed and explained his situation to Leanna.
After hearing the story, Leanna hummed, “Mr. Larson, you treat Sasha really well. You’re even agreeing
to such a ridiculous request from her family!”
Matthew sighed resignedly. “Yeah, I don’t want to put Sasha in a difficult position.”
Leanna sighed too. “How lucky Sasha is to have you. Sure, since you’ve already requested, it’s not a
problem to collaborate with Gonzalez Corporation as long as the price they offer is reasonable. We can
discuss that.”
With that, Matthew heaved a sigh of relief. “We’ll come over in a while then?”
Leanna giggled. “Sure, I’ll see you in the office.”
Not long after Matthew hung up the call, Jonah arrived in a hurry.
Observing the surroundings, he frowned and pursed his lips. “Matthew, your office is too shabby. In our
company, even an insignificant manager’s office is nicely renovated. Looks like the benefits of working in
a hospital are far worse than that of a multinational company.”
Matthew couldn’t bother to argue with him, so he merely nodded. “That’s true.”
Having his vanity fulfilled, Jonah smiled and said, “Later when I manage to successfully get the contract,
I’ll arrange for you to come to my company. By that time, you won’t have to work in this shabby office
anymore.”
Matthew smiled and disregarded his remarks.
Never in a million years would he want to work in Jonah’s company. Given Jonah’s personality, he would
surely have a hard time working with him.
Just then, a voice came forth from the outside. “Get lost!”
Matthew frowned. It’s Crystal’s voice. Who annoyed her this time?
Following that, Tate’s gleeful voice emerged. “Hey beautiful, don’t be angry. I’m just kidding. Allow me to
introduce myself—I’m Tate Campbell. I just came back from overseas, and my father is the general
manager of Gonzalez Corporation’s branch in Cathay. I’m not too familiar with the situation in Cathay.
Why don’t you spare some time to bring me around?”
Matthew was rendered speechless. Why is Tate here too? And he even dared to tease Crystal. He must
be tired of living!
Sure enough, a loud slap could be heard from the outside, followed by Crystal’s furious rebuke. “I don’t
care where you are from. Get lost immediately and don’t appear in front of me ever again!”
