Chapter 14
Matthew was stunned. He couldn’t believe his ears. Pumpkin spice latte Spice in a latte? What the hell? That’s evil! And it’s not a shame at all,‘ he thought in shock
Valerie pulled a wry face when she saw Matthew push the latte away, so the recommended her favorite to him. “Mr. Grant, try the egg wich. It’ll blow your mind?”
Matthew refused her recommendation immediately. A breakfast wrap was his bottom line. Those oily foods were no breakfast in his eyes. med the pumpkin spice latte, his guards were all up with everything she passed him. She had lost his trust in food recommendations.
After he
“Too bad. Egg’wiches are the best, Valerie took her hand back and ate the other egg wich. She had a small mouth but quite an appetite. After two egg wiches, she had two hashbrowns and a cup of pumpkin spice latte.
Matthew couldn’t help but wonder, ‘How on earth does she keep fit? Then he realized he had finished the whole breakfast wrap.
He indulged himself today. The breakfast wrap tasted good, and more importantly, it was the healthiest option among all the junk food. În case Valerie bought a bunch of junk food for breakfast tomorrow, Matthew said. “The breakfast wrap’s good. Let’s still have it tomorrow.”
“Okay” Valerie was fine with that. She didn’t have much housework to do since Matthew would have the housekeeper over weekly. The least she could do was to buy breakfast for both of them.
She was surprised Matthew could afford a housekeeper once a week. But on second thought, she didn’t think Matthew’s job as a driver came with a low income since his boss rode in a Porsche.
Both of them were busy at work, so a housekeeper sounded like a good idea
Valerie talked with Matthew while cleaning the table. I took a day off, so I’ll start moving in later.”
Matthew looked at her and said. “Then I can’t help you. I’ve got to work”
“Oh, don’t bother. I got it myself. I know the password already,” answered Valerie. I mean, it’s hard to forget numbers 1 to 8. This is obviously a new apartment, Valerie thought to herself.
Matthew seemed to have guessed her mind, cleared his throat awkwardly, and explained in a hurry. “I bought this apartment a long time ago for marrage. After we registered, I bought some furniture. You can buy something you like after you move in. I’ll pay the bill*
He handed her a bank card. “There are 10 thousand dollars. You can decide on the small ones. As for the big items, just let me know,”
“You don’t have to do this, Mr. Grant.” Valerie wanted to refuse. But Matthew’s eyes darkened, so she had to take it. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I felt like when Julian gave her money and forced her to take in. But he was not Julian, and she didn’t want to take advantage of him.
She pondered for a moment and said. “How about this? I pay for the small items. When I need to buy some big items, I’ll use this card.”
I’m moving out in six months, so it’s only fair that he pays for the big stuff I can’t take with me. I’ll cover the smaller items and everyday expenses in make sure I’m not just freeloading here. Seems like a good deal to me, she thought.
Matthew was surprised Valerie would insist on splitting the hill. She was quite stubborn despue her gentle appearance.
After the breakfast, Matthew grabbed the briefcase and headed to work. When he walked to the door, Valerie said, “It’s going to rain. You should bring an umbrella with you”
Matthew did as she said. When she walked to the parking lot, he had this feeling that they were like a regular couple, chanting over breakfast about
family affairs.
As he got into the Mini and squeezed into the tiny driver’s seat, his face darkened. If he sat up, his head would bump into the roof of the car, and has long legs had to be folded to in the small space. He tried to adjust the seat, but it was of no help.
He frowned impatiently and cursed, “Damn, Charles has short lega
