Chapter 193 Given Up
“What did you just say, Matthew?”
When I saw her face, I felt angry. “Both of you, get out of my office! I have work to do.”
Ryan rushed in, holding a stack of documents. He frowned when he saw them.
Carol quickly gestured for them to leave. “It’s time to leave, Mr. Matthew.”

Melanie shot me a glare. “Are you trying to seduce him again? Can’t you live without a man, you fucking
whore?”
I grabbed the registration form, tore it into pieces, and threw it at Melanie’s feet. “Keep a leash on your
man. Don’t let him come here again.”
Melanie grew infuriated. “How dare you?”
I said calmly, “You should leave now. We’re having a meeting.”
Then, I turned my attention to Ryan. “What do you have for me?”
Ryan approached and handed me the documents. I glanced at them and saw two contracts for the new
development at Heartland Estates.
I was surprised. “We got it?”
Ryan smiled. “Grayson did.”
“That’s great! I’ve always liked this development,” I said, thrilled.
Melanie stormed out.
Ryan waited until she was gone and said, “There’s something else.”
“What is it?”
“I heard that ATL Empire failed to get the land in Operose.”
I sat up straight, stunned. “Do you think it’s true?”
“Huh? You’re not in Foswood? Why did you let Echelon Group have that land in Operose?”
He said lazily, “Why would you say that?”
I was stumped. “Well, they’re throwing a celebratory party tomorrow night, and I’ve already received an
invitation.”
“Then attend it,” he said calmly. “I’ll bring you a gown.”
“Can’t you just tell me what’s going on? I’m worried about you,” I protested, annoyed by his
unpredictability.
“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll see you at the party tomorrow,” he said soothingly.
“You’re going too?” I asked eagerly.
“Yup. Don’t stop thinking about me, okay? I got to go.” He hung up.
I held my phone, bewildered. Suddenly, I started to look forward to that party.
