Chapter 138

Peter was startled. “What does that mean?” His English level was not enough to comprehend what the words meant.

Matthew quickly replied, “Nothing! We’re complimenting you!”

Sasha chuckled as she secretly reached over and softly pinched Matthew’s back. Without turning around, Matthew grabbed Sasha’s hand and she immediately blushed.

Penny was frustrated. After eating for a while, she suddenly said, “Matthew, how’s your job at the hospital? Your education level is so low that I had to specially ask my cousin for help in order to get you a job there. I heard from my cousin that you’re cleaning toilets for a living now, and I think it’s the most suitable job for you. After all, you don’t need a degree to clean toilets! You better work hard and cherish this hard-won job!”

Matthew instantly frowned. Penny’s cousin was Jeffrey Zimmerman. Back when Matthew got a job in the hospital, it was Sasha who pulled her connections to help him get it, whilst Penny did nothing at all.

She even instigated Jeffrey to bully Matthew many times. It could be said that Penny was one of the driving forces behind Matthew being assigned as a cleaner. It was obvious that the reason Penny was mentioning this was to humiliate him.

Sensing that Matthew was offended, Sasha hurriedly held his hand and smiled as she said, “Matthew is planning to quit his job at the hospital and work with me in the pharmaceutical industry.”

“Really?” Penny sneered. “Matthew, I used to think that you at least had some conscience to work and earn money by yourself. How is it that you’ve changed so much in just a year? Is it true that it’s addictive to live off of others? I can’t believe that you’re completely relying on Sasha now. Can you still call yourself a man?”

A cold expression appeared on Matthew’s face and just when he was about to rebuke her, Peter raised his glass and interrupted him, “Miss Cunningham, are you working in the pharmaceutical industry?”

Sasha nodded and replied, “My family has a pharmaceutical company. It’s called Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.”

“Really?” Peter grinned and added, “In that case, we’re working in the same industry.”

Sasha smiled politely in reply, not planning to continue the conversation with Peter.

However, Peter was unwilling to give up. “I’m the new CEO of the Carlson Group and I’m mainly responsible for the company’s affairs. Miss Cunningham, since you have a pharmaceutical company, you can work with us. Why don’t you give me your number so we can talk more about our business cooperation?”

Sasha couldn’t help but frown. You’re asking for another woman’s number in front of your fiancée. How can you be such a scumbag?

Speaking on Sasha’s behalf, Matthew said, “I’m sorry but Cunningham Pharmaceuticals has been so busy lately that we can’t accept other orders.”

Hearing this, Penny was instantly infuriated. “Matthew, what are you implying? Sasha and my fiancé are talking about business. Since when are you qualified to speak?

Do you really think you are now the decision maker of the Cunningham family and you can interfere with the Cunningham family’s businesses? Besides, even if you really are in charge of managing Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, you have to put the company’s interest first. I’ve never heard of a company rejecting business before!”

The people at the tables around them started whispering and all of them thought that Matthew was bragging. Every company would find as much business as they could and they have never heard of a company that didn’t need business! However, they didn’t know that Matthew was telling the truth.

Cunningham Pharmaceuticals just received a 3-billion order and these orders were enough to keep the company busy until next year. How would they have the time to accept more orders?
