Chapter 124 Who do you think you are
Blanca knew nothing about the discussion in her office. At this moment, she was having lunch with
Matthew. It was quite a feast and Blanca was stuffed. She rubbed her stomach and looked across the
table at Matthew in confusion. In fact, as a benefit, the Empire Group provided lunch for its employees.
And Mrs. Brown had made Matthew some meals. Why did he take her out to lunch? After a while,
Blanca could not restrain her curiosity and asked, “Why are you so nice to me today, Matthew?” Blanca
thought for a moment and continued, “Have you done anything wrong?”
“Wrong? Who do you think you are, Blanca?” Matthew sneered, raising his eyebrow in disdain.
Blanca was accustomed to his arrogance. Besides, she was in a good mood at the moment. So, she
wasn’t irritated by his words at all. When they went back together after the meal, Blanca couldn’t help
asking, “Will you take me to see Mr. Butler tomorrow? Do you know what he likes? How old is he?
Maybe it is not a good idea to visit him abruptly?”
Blanca looked a bit nervous at the prospect of her meeting with this Ernest Butler. She was so deeply
in her own anxiety that she did not notice Matthew had stopped.
Matthew turned to face Blanca, who was chafing her hands together, and frowning. She was wearing a
business suit, making her brighter and more beautiful. Matthew stood looking at Blanca in silence and
found him mesmerized by her beauty.
“I’m talking to you, Matthew! Are you listening to me? If Mr. Butler is really my family, I …” Blanca
suddenly noticed Matthew and stopped in the middle of her words. Matthew was still staring at her.
Blanca was confused by his expression and asked, “Why are you stopping?”
“You’re so chatty,” Matthew said coldly.
Blanca didn’t expect him to say that. She shrugged her shoulders awkwardly, and held her mouth
closed meekly. She didn’t want to make Matthew angry, for she depended on him to meet Mr. Butler.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
They kept walking, without a word.
Blanca headed back to her office. As a new recruit, she didn’t get much work. She attended a meeting
at four o’clock in the afternoon with Anna and took notes there. While she gave Anna the minutes of the
meeting to read and check, it was time to get off work.
Blanca looked at the time and stretched. At this moment, she got a call from Curtis. “Chairman was out
on business, Mrs. Grant. I’ve sent a driver to wait for you outside the door. He will drive you home,”
Curtis said on the other end of the phone.
“Okay, thank you.” Upon hearing this, Blanca heaved a sigh of relief. She did not want anyone to see
her getting close to their chairman. It was too high profile.
Blanca looked out the window and saw the colors of sunset diffused across the sky. Its luster glistened
on her desk, which made it feel so warm inside the room. She seemed to be in a good mood. Others
began leaving the office, and Blanca turned off her computer too. She was humming quietly, apparently
quite at her ease. But when she just stepped out of the building, she heard someone calling her. Before
she turned back to take a good look, a sack covered her head.
