“Why? Can’t I go with you?” Crystal immediately questioned. “Can you not look down on me? I’m really familiar with Woodside as I’ve been there several times with my grandfather!”
Matthew scratched his head. “That’s not what I meant. I agreed to go with your grandfather; did he ask you to pick me up?”
Crystal nodded and said, “Yes. My grandfather asked me to pick you up and take you to Woodside! He has some business to attend to so he asked me to replace him.”
Eyes widened, Matthew shouted, “Are you joking? Mr. Harrison would never do something like that! Give me a moment; I’ll call Mr. Harrison right now.”
With a smile, Crystal suddenly commented, “Stop wasting your time. I’ve set my grandfather’s phone to forward all your calls to me. You won’t be able to contact him.”
Hearing this, Matthew was dumbfounded. “Miss Harrison, what… what are you trying to do? Your grandfather and I have some serious matters to attend to in Woodside. What will you do when you get there? Stop fooling around because we’re not going there to play.”
Crystal hurriedly countered, “Who said that I’m fooling around? I have some serious matters to do too. Don’t forget that I have to help that man and his father. I have to go there and buy medicine!”
Matthew yelled, “Didn’t I tell you that I’ll help you purchase the medicine they need?”
Crystal immediately yelled back at him, “I want to do it myself!”
Matthew was rendered speechless. In short, you just want to go to Woodside with me. Seeing that he wasn’t talking anymore, Crystal smiled slyly. “What’s wrong, Matthew? Are you afraid that I might eat you alive? Ha! We’re already on the highway so it’s too late for you to be afraid now! You know what they say—if you can’t resist it, just enjoy it!”
They drove all the way without stopping and it was four in the afternoon when they arrived at Woodside. Although the place seemed remote, Woodside was really prosperous. The town was full of motels and hotels, with various recreational venues. Even though it was not as prosperous as Eastcliff, it was definitely more prosperous than the average city.
Meanwhile, Crystal directly drove to a hotel and led Matthew to the front desk. Then, she announced in a domineering tone, “Hello, I want an executive king room.”
Matthew was startled and he hurriedly pulled out a wad of cash. “Two executive king rooms! Two! Two!”
The receptionist was taken aback by his reaction. Then, he glanced at Crystal and Matthew before he lowered his head and discreetly muttered, “Idiot.”
How can you ask for two rooms when there’s a gorgeous woman next to you? Is there something wrong with you?
