“Dylan drove under the influence of alcohol and said. “He and his wife were both seriously injured.

accident,” Valerie lost their baby, and he

may end up in jail after he is discharged. Also, the company has fired him. Apparently, they even want to hold him accountable and seek compensation.”

“Okay.” Matthew said.

Valerie lifted her eyebrows and said, “Mr. Grant, how come your tone sounds like. you are not surprised at all?”

Matthew said nothing.

He thought, ‘Of course, I’m not surprised. I was the one who gave the order to fire Dylan, and I was also the one who suggested holding him accountable. I’ve long known about this, so I’m naturally not surprised now!

Matthew rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Just as he was wondering if he should feign surprise to avoid raising suspicion from Valerie, he heard her soft

voice.

“Mr. Grant, is the workload assigned by Mr. Hudson too heavy for you?” she said. “You woke up earlier than usual in the morning, so you probably didn’t rest well. Rest for a while during lunch break. Mr. Hudson really works you too hard…”

Valerie rambled on. Even though she talked a lot about Charles, and she even asked Matthew to smile more to please Charles, at this moment, she was the first one to curse Charles “unscrupulous superior” on behalf of Matthew.

Matthew gave a slight smile and said, “Okay. I will.”

“I won’t bother you then,” Valerie said. “See you tonight.”

“Okay,” Matthew said.

As he put away his phone, a certain “unscrupulous superior” happened to push the door open and enter.

“Mr. Grant, I’ve already been to the traffic management bureau to get the surveillance footage of the car accident,” Charles said. “I’ve also gotten Dylan’s

blood test report from his doctor at the hospital. Dylan drove under the influence of alcohol and caused damage to the company’s asse. He delayed the progress of the company’s important project. Once he is discharged from the hospital, we can sue him and make him regret his actions!”

Charles thought. ‘It’s just tough on me. I received a call

in the morning, then rushed around all over the place, and now I’m finally back at the office. Haven’t even had breakfast and it’s already lunchtime. He wouldn’t dare to say these words out loud. After all, being Matthew’s special assistant meant doing all sorts of tasks.

Charles had no idea that Valerie had had a misunderstanding, thinking that he was the unscrupulous superior. Instead, he now had to smile obsequiously at the real unscrupulous superior.

With that said, Charles noticed the food container on the table and could not help but be curious. “Mr. Grant, did your wife prepare lunch for you again today?” he said. “She is really good at cooking.”

Matthew nodded but said, “Order lunch for me as usual.”

Charles thought, ‘Eh? He would rather eat takeout than eat his wife’s homemade box lunch, huh?”

Charles scrutinized Matthew with a puzzled expression, yet he could not make out any emotion on Matthew’s cold face. He thought, ‘Could it be that he has had an argument with his wife? But if he did, why would he help his wife deal with Dylan?”

Charles’s curiosity reached its peak. Equally overwhelming was the hunger caused by being busy for the entire morning.

Matthew noticed that Charles was still lingering. He then lifted his head to look at him and asked, “Anything else?”

Charles had always been unabashed. He said, “Mr. Grant, I just ordered lunch for you. It’ll be delivered in half an hour. Since you’re not eating this box lunch, how about giving it to me?”

Matthew frowned instantly and wanted to scold him for taking advantage of the situation. Just as he was about to tell Charles to get lost, he had a change of mind. He thought, ‘When I bring the food container home in the evening, it will indeed

be difficult to explain things if Valerie asks why the food container is still full.’

He then nodded slightly as he said, “Take it

Upon getting permission, Charles did not wait for Matthew to push the food container over. He couldn’t wait and immediately grabbed it. The aroma of the hot meal Matthew had yesterday made Charles extremely eager to try it. He had the opportunity today. Of course, he had to give it a try. Besides, he was truly starving now. If he waited for the delivery, he might faint.

He thought, ‘I have no idea what is in Mr. Grant’s mind. Instead of enjoying delicious food, he insisted on ordering boiled chicken breast and beef. Is that even decent food? If my wife had his wife’s cooking skills, I’d be begging her to cook for me every day!‘

Charles’s eager look made Matthew frown slightly and feel somewhat

uncomfortable. But he said nothing. Instead, he retracted his attention and continued to review the document in his hand.

It wasn’t until Charles’s low exclamation interrupted him that he stopped.

‘Your wife put a lot of effort into this box lunch,” he said. “It’s the first time I see spaghetti frittata with so many ingredients!”
