Quickly, Louise slapped Curtis right on his face. Curtis, caught off guard, barely had time to duck. Then Louise walked out of the door and the clicks of high-heels were fading. She pushed open the door of Matthewâs office and went in. Matthew was fully concentrated on his work. His dark eyes fixed on a pile of papers, looking more handsome.
âIâve done as you asked, Matthew, but those reporters are...â Before she finished the sentence, Matthew interrupted. âGet out!â said Matthew in a cold voice. Even he didnât look up from his papers.
Louise froze for a moment. She was bitter at his attitude. Tears began to come to her eyes. âWhy do you have to be this way, Matthew?â she said in a constricted voice. She moved quickly to his side and wanted to hold his arms, but Matthew dodged.
Louise pouted and her eyes didnât leave Matthew. Matthew wore a white shirt and his sleeves were rolled up, his strong forearm exposed. When Louise caught a glimpse of Matthewâs abdominal muscles through the layer of shirt, she felt herself going red in the face.
âI did what you said, Matthew. We can end this now,â Louise said. The day before, she was so scared, because Clark had gone completely off the grid.
Matthew snorted in disgust. He raised his head and looked at Louise coldly. Louise met his eyes and her face broke into a radiant smile. But in the next second, Matthew stretched out a hand and said, âGive me the pendant!â
Upon hearing this, Louise was frightened out of her wits. âWh..what... what pendant?â she stammered.
âYou know what I mean.â Matthew was livid with rage. He shot Louise a look of annoyance, which made every nerve in Louiseâs body tingling unpleasantly. She took a great, shuddering breath and said, âI have no idea what youâre talking about.â She tried to stay calm.
Matthew stood up and looked her straight in the eye. âI wonât say it twice, Louise!â Matthew said impatiently.
Louise trembled and went rather pale. She tried to stammer a defense. âI...I...â
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door. And Malinda came in, in her long white dress. She looked like a goddess, pretty and with a gentle smile on her face. She walked slowly to Matthewâs big desk and said, âIâm sorry. Am I interrupting?â
Matthew frowned. âWhat are you doing here?â he asked.
Louise breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Malinda. She ran to Malinda and put her arm around the latter. âOh, my God. Thank God youâre here.
Malinda, tell him. I have nothing to do with Blancaâs being kidnapped. I was out shopping with you that day! You can prove it.â

She pushed Louiseâs hand away and took out a pendant. âAre you looking for this pendant? I saw it on my grandpaâs balcony yesterday. I heard you mention it before. So, I bring it to you. Is it Blancaâs?â she said to Matthew.
