CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 271: LINGERING IN THE MIND 1

Chloe Grant wanted to get up and shout at Matthew Morgan, "Damn it, what do you really want? I don’t want to be a stand-in!"

Of course...

These thoughts were just Chloe’s imagination; she didn’t dare to act on them.

She had been afraid of him since she was young, and with everything that had happened recently, Chloe had no idea how to face Matthew Morgan.

He always acted as if nothing had happened, but she was different.

She would remember that night.

She would remember the three times they were together...

Although those three times were because of the drug, and it’s not entirely Matthew’s fault, Chloe still couldn’t face him normally.

Especially every time he got close or did something outrageous, Chloe would remember what Lucas had said about that first love, and it made her particularly uncomfortable!

Oh, why are you such a coward?

Chloe sighed helplessly, closed her eyes, and started counting sheep to fall asleep.

...

The next day, Chloe woke up early.

In fact, she had been waking up repeatedly throughout the night, with poor sleep quality and a severe headache.

"Breakfast is ready, freshen up and come downstairs."

Matthew said beside her.

Chloe groggily held her head, "I... I want to sleep at home."

She was very tired.

"There’s a lounge at the company. You can sleep there." Matthew’s tone was still so domineering.

There was no room for negotiation.

"I just want to sleep!" Chloe snapped, the grumpiness upon waking up fueled her courage.

She lay down, pulled the blanket over herself, and covered her head!

Through the blanket, she muffled, "I don’t have classes today, why can’t I sleep in my own home?"

Matthew stood nearby, and in the face of Chloe’s frustration, he didn’t say much, but instead... simply leaned in, pulled away the blanket, and scooped Chloe up, carrying her to the bathroom.

Chloe was shocked, "What... what are you doing?"

Matthew looked down at her, his words still cold, "I told you, you’ll be following me for a while."

In the bathroom, he placed her on the sink, skillfully prepared her toothbrush and filled the cup with water, handing it to Chloe.

Chloe was full of reluctance, but under Matthew’s assertive demeanor, she couldn’t resist.

Her expression remained unpleasant afterward.

She only ate a little at breakfast and followed Matthew to the company without saying a word.

Matthew was incredibly busy.

As soon as he stepped into the company, James Heady was already approaching with countless documents.

Even when he walked down the corridor, people approached him, "President, what about this document...," "President, this needs an urgent signature."

Or it was other companies seeking cooperation and help, waiting for him to walk down from the office, catching him in the public areas, seeking a few minutes, a chance for survival.

In such cases, Matthew simply gave a glance, having those obstructing him taken away.

Either he didn’t speak or he would just say, "I don’t have time to waste on irrelevant people."

It was the first time Chloe saw Matthew in complete work mode, and she truly witnessed the rumored ruthless and decisive characteristics applied to him, it truly was no exaggeration at all.

From morning until noon, wherever Matthew went, he took her with him, and she had to keep up with him, not falling behind even a step.

His pace was fast, so Chloe had to rush to keep up every time.

So...
