Chapter 33

“This is your boss’s car, right? Are we going to use it? But I don’t think it’s good to use your boss’s car. And I remember your boss’s car seems to be a Porsche. When did it become a Land Rover?” Valerie asked in surprise. 

It was of course because the Porsche was now in the shop for fixing, and Valerie had been there the day of the crash. 

Matthew casually said, “Mr. Hudson has many cars; he switches them up to drive. Come on in.” 

He spoke as opening the passenger door. Valerie still felt it wasn’t good, thinking that Matthew shouldn’t use his boss’s car for private use. What if his boss found out later and docked his salary? 

“Don’t worry. Mr. Hudson won’t mind. Instead, he’s quite supportive of me driving around and practicing my car skills better.” 

Hearing that, Valerie was finally relieved to sit in the passenger seat. 

Matthew looked around without any trace to make sure that no one was around before entering the driver’s seat. As soon as he sat down, he saw Valerie looking at the interior decoration with a surprised expression on her face, touching around with her hands as if she had never seen such a luxurious car before. 

Valerie exclaimed, “The leather seats are so comfortable… Ahh, they can also automatically warm up!” 

Matthew couldn’t help but frown, and a hint of sarcasm flashed through his eyes. ‘Sure enough, she’s a gold–digging woman. Just this car makes her show her true colors. 

Valerie didn’t notice his mocking gaze, and after silently surveying the surroundings, she finally concluded in her heart, ‘A luxury car is really worthy of being a luxury car, and every aspect of its layout is incomparable to ordinary cars. Relatively speaking, the price of luxury cars is destined to be expensive, so the commission one can get from selling a luxury car is particularly high. If someone can sell one or two luxury cars in a month, then he doesn’t need to worry about anything that month. However, Arcton Cars targets low–end customers. The cars there are cheap and the commission is low. Even if I join Noria Group, I wouldn’t be able to join straight into the luxury car sales department. 

After coming back to her senses, Valerie returned her attention to Matthew. Thinking about the scene just now, she couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Hudson is really a nice guy. It’s a good thing your leader is Mr. Hudson but not Mr. Grant.” 

‘When did I upset her? She’s actually dissatisfied with me. Matthew frowned in displeasure. “Why do you say that?” 

“Look, Mr. Hudson is so tired and sweaty from rushing to the meeting, yet he doesn’t dare to take a rest. So, it’s obvious that Mr. Grant must be a perfectionist. If he were your leader, not to mention allowing you to use his car, I guess he would deduct half a month’s salary from you if you dare to be one minute late.” 

Matthew was at a loss for words. 

Valerie analyzed carefully, unaware that Matthew had fallen into silence. He had to admit that Valerie’s analysis did make sense. 

“It’s already hard for us to have a stable and well–paid job nowadays. It would be unlucky if you had a leader like that. Mr. Grant, how about we invite Mr. Hudson to our home for a meal if he’s free?” Valerie was still worried that Matthew using his boss’s car would affect his work. 

“No need.” Matthew didn’t hesitate to veto her proposal. 

“Right, Mr. Hudson usually frequents fancy restaurants; inviting him to have a meal at home seems a bit too humble,” she cooed as she sank her head into the seat. ‘It’s indeed a Land Rover. These chairs are so comforting to sit in and the temperature in the car is just right too.’ 

“Mr. Grant, I’m sorry. You said that we need to keep a secret about our marriage, but I forgot about it when I saw you just now. I accidentally revealed our relationship; I hope you’re not angry…” She spoke softer and lower, the last few words were even harder to hear clearly. 

Matthew turned his head and saw that she had already closed her eyes tightly, completely asleep. He hesitated for a moment before finally helping her flatten the seat a little so she could sleep more comfortably. After coming to his senses, his face turned black as he thought, “When did I start taking care of others?‘ 

Valerie slept very soundly. After Matthew drove the car to Slotmond Estate, she still showed no signs of awakening. 

The night was gradually falling outside the car window. Matthew wanted to push Valerie awake directly, but seeing that she was sleeping so deeply, he couldn’t help but stop his movement. ‘So she can be defenseless. 

Matthew sighed. He felt that although the car seats were comfortable, Valerie would definitely have a sore back tomorrow if she slept like that all night. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Valerie felt herself sinking into a warm embrace as she drifted off to sleep. It occurred to her that the last time she had been held like that was when she was very young. But as far as she could remember, her mother had never held her like that, and her father couldn’t hold her because of his disabled left arm. Her brother couldn’t hold her like that either becasue he wasn’t much older than her. So, who could hold her like that… 

Valerie couldn’t help but shrink into the warm embrace, not wanting to leave.

She’s so light. Matthew held Valerie out of the passenger seat. She wasn’t heavy and he could hold her out of the car easily. Matthew wondered why she ate so much food every day without gaining any weight. 

Just as he was about to take her back upstairs, he was surprised by the wary voice that suddenly came from behind him. “Who are you? Let go of Valerie!”
