Chapter 1112: Righteously Reporting to the Boss
She believed she didn’t have that much influence over Matthew Saxon, thinking she couldn’t just say a few words and have him do things for her."How could it be useless?" Matthew chuckled softly in her ear, cleared his throat, and then said seriously, "Scarlett, useful or not, practice brings true knowledge. You can give it a try. Who knows, maybe I’ll be so enamored by your charm that I’ll agree to anything you say."
Watching her face turn even redder, Matthew’s gaze darkened, his voice grew huskier: "Scarlett, making me agree is actually quite easy. I’ll teach you a trick, all you have to do is..."
His voice grew lower, yet the warmth of his breath increased...
By the time he uttered his last word, Scarlett Yates felt as if she were scalded by fire, suddenly pulling away from him, her face flushed crimson as she glared at him in embarrassment and anger, "Matthew Saxon, can you be serious for a moment."
"Serious?"
Matthew chuckled apologetically, spreading his hands innocently, "Sorry, but in front of you, I really can’t be serious."
After pausing, he lifted his thin lips, his smile becoming more demonically captivating, "When I’m with you, I don’t want to be serious."
After saying this, he reached out, intending to pull her back into his arms again.
Gurgle—
An abrupt and strange sound broke the previously tender and ambiguous atmosphere.
Scarlett Yates really didn’t want to admit that the sound came from her stomach.
After one sound, it was as if a drop of water was splashed in a hot oil pan, a louder sound followed, grumbling incessantly.
Scarlett’s face burned with embarrassment, her eyes darting around, unable to meet Matthew Saxon’s gaze.
Every time something embarrassing like this happened, Matthew seemed to be around.
"Hungry?" Matthew’s lips curved with a smile, his long eyes narrowed, gazing at her with amusement.
Scarlett nodded with a flushed face, softly acknowledging.
With her stomach protesting, how could she not be hungry?
She hadn’t eaten since last night.
Actually, she thought the full egg meal she made wasn’t bad, perhaps not too delicious but certainly edible. She could swallow it down if she tried.
After all, she spent over half an hour making it. Ian Douglas was just too disrespectful, even if he found it unpalatable, he should have tried a bite before declaring his conclusion.
But instead, he just took one look and told her she made garbage.
Such a blow! Even if what she made was really trash, he should have given her a little face and not been so blunt!
"Why haven’t you eaten yet?" Matthew frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his expression, "What’s going on with the kitchen staff, when did they become so lazy?"
"It’s not their fault."
Hearing him blame the kitchen staff, Scarlett hurried to clarify, "It was your grandfather who told them not to cook."
She couldn’t let the innocent take the blame.
If Matthew got angry and blamed the kitchen staff, he might end up firing them all.
"Grandfather?" He was taken aback, his attractive eyebrows furrowing.
Scarlett nodded emphatically, a hint of grievance in her eyes as she bit her lip, looking at him with resentment and confidently tattled, "He said he wanted to eat what I cooked, not letting anyone else interfere."
Matthew’s brows furrowed again, tighter this time, "You cooked?"
"Hmm?"
