Chapter 193 Kiss
Mary thought she'd have trouble sleeping at Montagu Mansion, but she knocked out as soon as her head hit the pillow.
When she woke up, it was already morning.
After getting ready, Mary left her room and saw Matthew coming out of his. Their eyes met briefly before Mary looked away and headed downstairs.
Matthew watched her and said, "Come have breakfast."
Mary paused. "No, I'll be late for work."
Matthew replied, "You are free now. Why rush back to work?"
Mary's eyes turned cold. "Did you have Alvin kick me off the Henry Group project team?"
Matthew's face was indifferent. "Yes."
When the poisoning incident happened, he had her work stopped, thinking she was responsible and wanting to teach her a lesson.
Mary sneered. "Why not just fire me then?"
Going to work felt pointless, dealing with difficult people every day.
Matthew's tone turned icy. "Come have breakfast."
Mary didn't get why he was angry. Shouldn't she be the one upset about being kicked off the project?
She hesitated at the door but walked in. As she passed the cabinets, she noticed things she had lost were now gone.
A strange feeling crossed her mind, but she shrugged it off.
She sat at the table, eating quietly.
Matthew glanced at her face. The swelling had gone down, but faint finger marks remained.
A cold look flashed in his eyes.
After eating, Mary asked, "Can I leave now?"
Matthew frowned. Did she really not want to be around him?
Just then, Mary's phone rang. It was Robert.
"Hello, Robert," she said, her tone softening.
Seeing this, Matthew's face darkened.
Robert asked, "How are you?"
Mary replied, "I'm fine, just some minor injuries."
Robert continued, "Good to hear. Matthew didn't give you a hard time, did he?"
Before Mary could respond, Matthew grabbed her chin and kissed her hard, catching her off guard.
"Mary, what's wrong?" Robert's anxious voice came through the phone.
Matthew, hearing Robert, made the kiss louder on purpose.
Mary quickly hung up and pushed Matthew away.
He let go reluctantly, his eyes dark and intense.
Mary's eyes were red with anger. "Matthew, what are you doing?"
Matthew said calmly, "Isn't it obvious? Kissing."
Mary was too angry to speak. How could he be so despicable, doing it on purpose while she was on the phone?
