Jas Heady arrived at Matthew Morgan’s office and imdiately reported the outco of the situation:
"Mr. Morgan, I’ve just finished investigating. Last week, the security guard who injured Chloe was dumped by his girlfriend for a rich kid. His girlfriend happens to have the sa na as Chloe, which caused his emotional breakdown. I’ve already asked the HR departnt to strictly rectify the security and reception areas."
As Jas reported, Matthew Morgan leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on Jas, putting him under imnse pressure.
He felt that Mr. Morgan’s look carried a kind of... scrutiny and observation?
The gaze was too intense; several tis, Jas almost couldn’t continue speaking.
Matthew Morgan suddenly pushed off the table and stood up.
Jas’s nerves went taut.
Matthew had already stepped out from behind his desk, standing in front of Jas, frowning slightly and evaluating him.
Jas could only feel cold sweat constantly breaking out on his forehead.
He couldn’t guess what Matthew was thinking at the mont.
"Turn around." Matthew ordered.
Jas was baffled, but he turned around anyway.
Matthew walked in front of him, his sharp gaze sweeping over him.
He’s about 182 cm tall, quite tall and on the thin side.
His features weren’t particularly refined, but his attire and his aura of a workplace elite added to his presence.
But nothing particularly special.
Matthew raised an eyebrow, looking into the glass behind Jas, comparing their reflections slightly...
Height, he surpassed him!
Features, he surpassed him!
Charisma, he surpassed him!
But...
"Why did Chloe Grant ask you for help?"
As Jas was about to crumble, Matthew finally spoke, "Do you have a close relationship with her? Closer than with , her uncle, huh?"
"We were just old neighbors!" Jas hastily explained.
Upon hearing Matthew’s words, Jas was sowhat sure that Matthew was displeased that his niece sought his help rather than her uncle’s.
Jas quickly added, "Perhaps Chloe... Miss Grant thought it was a minor issue and didn’t want to bother you, Mr. Morgan, so she asked to handle it directly. She didn’t expect it to escalate like this and alarm you, Mr. Morgan."
Matthew gave no response.
He was well aware that Chloe Grant deliberately avoided him by seeking out Jas.
Matthew really hadn’t noticed that there was such a connection between Jas and Chloe Grant.
Old neighbors?
"Childhood sweethearts?" he asked, his eyes as sharp as daggers.
Jas swallowed silently and quickly replied, "I have a girlfriend who’s studying abroad. Chloe... Miss Grant is very familiar with her."
Matthew did not respond to these words.
But Jas could clearly feel that Matthew’s gaze beca slightly softer.
Just then, Matthew’s phone on the table started ringing.
Matthew glanced at it briefly, then gestured for Jas to leave.
Jas didn’t dare linger for even a second and quickly slipped away.
As he shut the door, he felt a sense of survival after a close escape.
It was terrifying!
At 25, Jas decided he’d retire at 35, to preserve his health and heart!
However...
Matthew’s attitude didn’t seem like that of an uncle towards his niece, but rather... a jealous boyfriend?
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Jas quickly dismissed it!
This thought was not to be entertained!
anwhile, inside Matthew Morgan’s office.
The caller was none other than the sa person who had video-called earlier when Chloe was there.
As soon as Matthew answered the video call, he heard the person’s teasing words, "Morgan, you’ve spent ten years cultivating, and this is how you end up with a chubby little girl?"
