Chapter 274
Sara trembled in fear when she saw the rage on Matthew's face and the coldness in his eyes. It was like he wanted to kill her.
She couldn't bear to stay another second, so she scrambled to her feet and bolted out of the office. She didn't even dare to pick up her phone when it fell to the floor.
Sara's footsteps echoed briefly before fading down the hallway. At that moment, the office was so silent that a pindrop could be heard.noveldrama
Silas looked at Matthew from behind, and his heart pounded with gratitude. After falling on hard times, he had been ridiculed, scorned, and belittled by everyone. No one had ever treated him with respect.
His world felt like a cold prison, devoid of warmth. He had only pretended to be mad to avoid his enemies. He had eventually resigned himself to a life of misery.
But Matthew had changed everything with just a plate of pasta. It was the first act of kindness Silas had received in a long time. Matthew had pulled him from his despair and even saved him from the Eastorians. Silas couldn't believe Matthew had dared offend a prominent Khoitwood family for him. The depth of his gratitude burned fiercely within him.
At that moment, he knew Matthew was his brother for life-someone Silas would sacrifice his life for without hesitation.
Rachel was stunned. The situation had changed so fast that she couldn't keep up. Matthew had managed to anger the Clark family. What were they going to do now? How could they fix this?
She stared blankly for a long moment and couldn't think of a solution. Her anger flared as she fixed her gaze on Matthew and demanded, "What on earth are you trying to do? You're going to land my family in hot water!" Matthew calmly picked up Sara's phone and said, "I'm just a chauffeur. Tell them to fire me. I'm leaving with Silas."
He turned to Silas and said, "Let's go."
The latter was bewildered by the situation. He assumed Matthew was just a chauffeur and said, "Alright. If that's the case, you can just find another job."
Rachel watched in shock as the two walked away. It took her a moment to process what was happening before she hurriedly chased after them "Matthew, what do you mean by leaving?" en
He turned around slowly. "You said I was causing trouble for the Carters. If I leave, won't that solve everything?"
Her mind raced. Then, she glared at him. "Do you really think you're just a chauffeur?"
He smiled and asked, "Isn't that what I am?"
What was going on here? Was there more to this than met the eye? It seemed like there was a deeper story between the chauffeur and the president of this company. Silas' eyes widened in shock as he shifted his gaze between them.
The more he studied them, the more convinced he became that something was happening between them. His curiosity ignited a fire of gossip in his mind. Rachel's anger flared. "What exactly do you think our engagement means to you?"
Engagement? Silas' eyes nearly popped out at the word. He was secretly blown away by Matthew's audacity a chauffeur snagging the president and getting engaged to her?It was beyond shocking
Matthew shrugged nonchalantly. "Of course, it's a big deal. We're engaged and planning to get married. Did you get it wrong? You thought I was about to leave you, and that's why you're upset? It seems like you're the one who can't do without me."
Rachel's face flushed with embarrassment. She had indeed misunderstood, but his remarks were outrageous.
He made it seem like she was entirely dependent on him. How could she, as the president, face anyone after this?
She shot him a scathing look and snapped, "You're so full of yourself." Her face was red as she stormed back to her office. Matthew smiled and led Silas to the elevator, heading downstairs.
