Chapter 1938

With those words, she made to leave, but Neville, half—joking, called out, “Let’s grab dinner sometime when you’re free.

”

Lindsay gave a polite nod in response.

As she exited, Matthew caught Neville’s gaze lingering on Lindsay.

Raising an eyebrow, he remarked coldly, “Asking her out so quickly? Aren’t you worried Miley might get jealous?”

Taking a sip of his coffee, Neville chuckled lightly.

“I was merely being courteous.

Besides, Miley isn’t the type to get jealous over such trivial matters.

But you…”

His eyes twinkled mischievously as he set down his cup.

“Lindsay once saved your life, yet here she is, working almost like a waitress at Prosperity Group.

Doesn’t that seem a bit ungrateful?”

Matthew, unfazed, pulled out a document and responded, “It’s her choice, not mine.

”

Neville pressed him further, “So you just agreed to it? Does Stella even know about this?”

Matthew looked up, meeting Neville’s gaze.

“Absolutely.

We don’t keep secrets from each other.

”

Neville’s voice dropped to a whisper, almost as if he were afraid.

“Did you tell Stella about how Lindsay saved your life?”

Matthew nodded slightly, affirming Neville’s words.

Undeterred, Neville went on, “And does Stella know about your grandmother’s wish for you to marry Lindsay?”

At this, Matthew’s expression darkened, and he frowned.

He shot Neville a warning look.

“Enough with the nonsense.

”

Yet, Neville, enjoying the drama, grinned and teased, “If it’s really nonsense, why does it bother you so much? Someone surely hasn’t forgotten about it, right?”

Matthew’s patience thinned.

“Do you have anything else to say? If not, I think it’s time you left.

Neville feigned a wounded heart.

“How can you be so cold? To just discard me after I’ve served my purpose?”

Matthew’s expression darkened.

Seeing that Matthew couldn’t take it anymore, Neville quickly gave in.

“Alright, I’ll leave now.

”

With a dismissive snort, Matthew turned back to the document in his hands.

Neville rose from his chair, and as he turned to leave, he couldn’t resist offering a piece of advice.

“Just a heads-up, you might want to clear things up with your wife beforehand.

If she finds out from someone else and gets jealous, you’ll find yourself running out of room to explain.

”

He hurried out of the office without glancing back at Matthew’s reaction.

Matthew tried to focus on the document, but Neville’s final words echoed in his head.
