"Why do you want to et the CEO?"
It took a while for Matt to recover from his shock. He shook his head slightly and replied, "I need to et with the CEO of Emperor Publishing. I’m going to report the cri that the Chief Editor committed."
Henry raised his brow.
Of course, he knew who this hobo-looking man was.
This was Matthew Woods, Kate’s useless husband, and he already had a guess the mont Matt said he wanted to report the ’cri’ that Kate committed.
Maybe this was his way to avenge what Kate did since Kate threw Matt’s mother in jail.
Nevertheless, Henry wanted to see what kind of man Matt truly was. He needed to assess whether this man was a danger he needed to prevent.
But before that...
Henry took a step back to distance himself a bit from Matt, this man’s breath was foul, and his stench was also horrible. He didn’t understand how a perfect woman like Kate could tolerate this bastard for five years.
’By god, I can’t imagine what kind of hell Kate put herself through for living with this man,’ Henry thought. He tried his best not to wave his hand in front of his nose just to get rid of the horrid sll. ’I have to always sll nice in front of her. I don’t want her to rember about this man when she’s sleeping with .’
Thus, by barely holding himself, Henry asked, "A cri? My Chief Editor did sothing criminal?"
"Well, her father did!" Matt insisted. "And I will show him that Kate needs to be fired because of this! Thank you for giving direction. I will et him now!"
Matt intended to storm inside Kate’s office and et the supposed CEO without an appointnt.
It was funny, but Henry had to understand this man a little.
He hadn’t worked in a professional field his entire life. After series of failed acting gig, Kate said that Matt simply gave up and refused to get any normal job. So he didn’t know so formalities regarding eting the highest order in a company.
"Alright, if you want to et , then let’s go to my office," Henry said.
Matt’s eyes widened.
"Y—You are—"
"Yes, I am Henry Grant, the CEO of Emperor Publishing," Henry confidently introduced himself. He disliked having to crush another man’s confidence, especially when that man was nowhere near his level, both in looks and wealth.
But this guy was Kate’s first love, so he still had a sense of rivalry with Matt.
Henry turned around and said, "Co with . We can talk in my office. I’m also very curious about this cri you ntioned before."
Henry then walked back to the elevator.
Matt was still stunned by what happened, and the receptionist snapped him out of his daze, "You should follow Mr. Grant now, Sir. He is indeed the CEO of Emperor Publishing."
"O—Oh, yes, thank you."
Matt followed Henry as they went to the fifteenth floor. Henry led him to the end of the corridor where his office was.
Henry and Matt entered the CEO’s office, and the forr pointed at the chair directly facing the desk.
Matt obediently sat there, and the first thing he saw was the gold naplate on the desk.
—
Henry T. Grant
Chief Executive Officer.
—
The second thing he saw was the beautiful sight of downtown Los Angeles from the wide glass pane.
And the third incredible thing was the sight of Henry Grant, the CEO, sitting right in front of him.
Matt had no romantic nor sexual interest in a man, but he had to admit this man’s gorgeousness.
This was good because he was far more good-looking than Jas Grant, so the mid-looking Kate wouldn’t be able to seduce him, as he must’ve had a lot of won lining up for him.
Henry put his hand on the desk and stared at Matt with deep green eyes. He tried to hide his hostility because he was in a bad mood.
He argued with Kate about eting with his family, and the work in the office wasn’t forgiving either. He was exhausted, so he wanted to go and have an early dinner and drink with his best friend, Michael, to rest a bit.
But this man ca when he was about to leave, and of course, he would not let Matt wreak havoc in the office. He had to protect Kate’s reputation because Kate was the heart of this company.
’And she’s also in my heartbeat...’ Henry thought.
"You can introduce yourself first," Henry ordered.
"Y—Yes, my na is Matthew Woods. I’m Katherine Woods’ husband. I’m here because I want to report the cri that my father-in-law committed. I bet you will fire her after knowing this!" Matt said confidently.
"Oh?" Henry raised one brow full of interest.
Of course, he already knew what this secret was all about. While Henry thought it was ridiculous how Matt and his mother would blackmail Kate for a sin that her father committed, he realized that Kate’s reputation would be affected.
Just like him.
His father sinned and was a madman, but Henry was also affected, and now he was scared that Kate would run away from him after knowing what kind of heinous plan his father had for their baby.
"Tell then, what kind of secret does Mrs. Woods have?" Henry asked.
Matt was excited to see that Henry was on the sa page as him. He thought Henry disliked Kate for her arrogance too, so he scrolled through his phone and showed his phone screen to Henry.
Henry acted surprised in front of Matt after seeing a picture of a newspaper clip regarding Kate’s father’s cri. He even had it on his phone after Kate sent it to him.
"Wow..." Henry muttered. "So her father is a child molester?"
"You’re goddamn right!" Matt said. "She is the daughter of a child molester. Don’t you think everyone in your office will be disgusted with her if they know?"
