Chapter 899
She coughed. “We figured that it would be merrier if everyone were to eat dinner together.”
William replied, “Oh, sure. I’ll head over after work.”
Matilda immediately hung up after that. Then, she started regretting what she did. What anembarrassment. Why did I blush? Why was I being so awkward and shy when I’m already at this age?
William chuckled lightly after he hung up. Even across the phone call, he could still sense Matilda’sawkwardness. In fact, he could even imagine her facial expression right then. That thought amused himgreatly.
After placing his phone down, he continued reviewing his documents before getting his assistant tocome over and instructed them on things to do so that he could leave.
By the time he finished arranging everything, it was already almost time for him to clock out.
After packing up his stuff, William went to John’s office and wanted to ask him if he wanted to leavetogether.
However, John had already left.
William didn’t think much about it as he figured that John was probably heading toward Logan’s placealready, so he took the elevator and went downstairs.
After getting out of the elevator to the hall, William halted when he saw Yolanda sitting on the couch in
the hall. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.
However, Yolanda didn’t notice William as she was busy looking at her phone, so William walked overto her. “Why did you come over?”
Yolanda’s head snapped up immediately before she smiled. “I was just passing by your company and Icame over to wait for you since I figured that it was almost time for you to clock out. Let’s have dinnertogether.”
Without hesitation, William rejected her. “I can't today since I've already promised Matilda to havedinner together.”
Yolanda paused. Although she tried her best to suppress it, her facial expression still changed as shenodded. “So, you're meeting her?”
William grunted. “Yes. That's why I won't be able to have dinner with you today.”
Then, Yolanda stood up. “That's fine. I'm alright with it anyway. You guys have fun, then. I'll head homenow.” novelbin
After that, William walked out of the hall together with Yolanda.
He did not offer to send Yolanda home but simply drove away and left, while Yolanda stood by the sideof the road and watched as William’s car vanished into the distance.
William would never reject her so firmly in the past. He was always that good man that would do hisbest to help others out.
It was normal for him to reject dinner with her like this time, but driving away without giving her anysecond glances while she was still standing by the side of the road was something that would havenever happened in the past.
It seemed like William was really adamant on cutting ties with Yolanda this time.
The dishes were already served when William reached Logan’s clubhouse and Matilda was the personhe saw the moment he entered the private room.
Matilda was calling someone while she stood next to the window sill in the room. Everyone else wasquiet.
As Matilda was facing the window, she didn't know that William had reached.
When William stopped at the entrance of the doorway, he overheard Matilda speaking. “I'm slightlybusy right now so I might not be free tonight.”
There was a pause as the person on the other end of the call was probably speaking before Matildareplied, “I'm not really sure about that as well. Let's discuss this later on.”
From the way that Matilda spoke, it seemed like she was holding back by being polite. In fact, shesounded hesitant.
Suddenly, William thought of Richard, so he headed over toward Matilda and spoke up without loweringhis voice. “What's wrong? Who are you talking to? Let's go eat dinner now.”
Immediately, Matilda froze and turned toward William while the man grinned with an innocentexpression on his face.
However, Matilda wasn't angry. She was simply taken aback. After glancing at William, she said intoher phone, “I'm going for dinner now. We will discuss this later.”
Then, the call ended.
