Chapter 38: Gossip outside the office
"Lauren, are you sure you don't want to have any more contact with me?"
The blandness and indifference on Lauren's face. It made Matthew a little helpless, and he withdrew
his hand, a little frustrated for the first time.
"I just want to live a peaceful life of my own, Matthew, three years of torture and pain, I've done it, if
you're after a real man, don't
to be torturing me, let me go and let me live my own life, I really don't want me to have any more
entanglements with you, I don't want to subject myself to you over and over again, okay?"
Lauren activated her red lips. The long-suppressed words were spoken.
Matthew sighed softly, it was the first time, Matthew from Lauren's face. Seeing such helplessness.
"Lauren, you know what? Since I separated from you, I realized that in my world, there has long been
your existence, I realized that I do not want to lose you, whenever I was in the newspaper, when I saw
the news of your contact with Adam Ouyang, my heart really hurts, it hurts so much that I can not
describe it in words. Whenever I was with Anne, all I could think about was you, and I couldn't wait to
have you again."
A month of waiting. A month of loneliness inside, so Matthew no longer wants to hide his true thoughts.
"Matthew, do you really think. Do you really think that I, Lauren, am a fool to let you bully me? Do you
really think that I will give you the chance to hurt me again? No, you're wrong, I did love you, but that
was before, before I could have spent my life to guard this relationship, but this relationship was
destroyed by your own hands, and I do not want to be a third party. I don't want to be a third party. I
don't want to be a mean slut who is at the mercy of people and scorned."
Matthew was a little alarmed because he could not see the previous love in Lauren's eyes, and it made
him a little panicked. The deep black eyes gradually covered with sulking anger.
The rejection time and time again made Matthew lose all his patience, he now only wanted to embrace
the woman in front of him properly and feel the warmth of her body.
"Lauren, you're rejecting me, aren't you? It's high to let you be my woman, but I'll give you another
chance now, if you change your mind, I can let you go back to live in your old apartment again."
"Chance?"
Lauren laughed out loud. Tears were streaming out of his eyes from laughing.
"Matthew, am I really that lowly in your heart? I want a peaceful life, I want a man who truly loves me,
this feeling of yours I really can't accept, you'd better find another

should be plenty of women who want to fall into your arms, besides, you still have that Anne who is
gentle on the outside but sinister on the inside."
The calmness on Lauren's face caused Matthew to grunt coldly.
"Lauren, I will make you beg me. You won't be able to face me so easily when the time comes. For the
woman I want, I will do whatever it takes."
Matthew's strong attitude gave Lauren a bad feeling.
"What do you mean by that? What have you done again?"
Matthew didn't answer Lauren, but the devilish smile at the corner of his mouth made Lauren's whole
body feel uneasy. Whenever Matthew wanted to reckon with people, he would have such a smile on his
face.
"Tomorrow you will know, now I will send you back, after all, you are my woman too. I'm not going to let
my woman walk down the road in the middle of the night."
"I'm not your woman. You have to understand, I was your woman three years ago, but a month ago, I
was free and had nothing to do with you."
Lauren's eyes widened as she strenuously denied Matthew's words.
Matthew gave an intriguing smile.
"Stop the car, my house is here."
Matthew pressed the button for the car door. Watching Lauren fall away.
Thinking of Lauren's unforgiving rejection just now, Matthew felt a sharp blade, stabbing him hard in the
heart.
He really rejected the act of Lauren keeping her distance from himself. Still, a dangerous aura came
from a pair of dark eyes when he saw Lauren's impatience to return to Adam Ouyang's apartment. A
strange look of affection swept through the hazy eyes.
Lauren, who had run back to her room, leaned against the door, her mind half unsettled.
I hadn't seen Matthew for a month, but when I saw him today, he would actually let her be his woman
again.
Lauren only felt her mind was blank, and when she thought of the hurt and torture Matthew had inflicted
on her in the past, her soft shoulders trembled involuntarily.
Lauren, don't think about it, Matthew is a man who is about to get married, he is not the man who can
bring you happiness for the rest of your life, just die.
Lauren kept shaking her head, letting herself give up the glimmer of hope that had just been kindled. To
stop herself from thinking, she rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and let the cold water
cut into her skin, dousing all the fantasies on her body.
Early the next morning, Lauren showed up at Adam's office on time.
A month had passed and Lauren had easily adapted to her job as a secretary. Although there were still
gossips behind her back, Lauren had gotten used to it.
She chose to numb herself with her work.
"Lauren, you don't have to keep your distance from me like this every day, don't you get tired?"
Seeing Lauren who deliberately kept her distance from herself, Adam's handsome face, raised a bitter
smile.
"Better be careful, last time at the restaurant were photographed, if you hadn't suppressed the news, I
really don't dare to imagine what the media will say about me again then."
Adam let out a soft sigh.
"Tell me the itinerary for today."
Lauren opened her notebook.
"This morning at nine o'clock you will have a wrap-up meeting with the company's managers and
above, and at noon you accepted Alice's invitation to have lunch with her as the PR manager. Also at
two o'clock in the afternoon, you'll be surveying the site."
Lauren trained her schedule for the day and told Adam, all thanks to Matthew's three years of planted
company.
"Okay, I got it, you go ahead and go down."
Lauren nodded and turned to leave Adam Ouyang's office.
"A slut is a slut, her mother is a slut, and her daughter is no good."
"Yeah, I knew she wasn't a good person, she must have sold her body to get the job she has now."
"Bailey, you have to show your skills, you can't let that woman touch the president, or one day sooner
or later, the president will be seduced by her, and then you'll have nothing."
Lauren had just walked around the corner to the office when she heard all this chatter.
She let out a soft sigh. After a month, she was numb to these words.
These women were Bailey's friends, so when Bailey was put down to the planning department by
Adam, these words had been accompanied by her own ears.
