Chapter 520 Do You Like These Hands?
Laura was eager to demonstrate her skills. After securing the land, she devoted all her energy to the project, investing a significant amount of money. Once the construction was completed and the subway line was operational, the project would bring her unlimited profits.
Her position in the Sarah family would also become more stable.
Sophia listened to Mary's plan, her eyes lighting up, "As expected of Mrs. Montagu!"
Mary smiled faintly, "I don't harm those who don't harm me. If someone hurts me, I will retaliate fiercely."
Sophia said, "You're so straightforward, I won't let you down. Leave these issues to me."
She pointed to a few items in the document.
Mary nodded, "Okay."
In the next private room.
Herman walked in, looked at Matthew, and said, "Guess who I saw?"
Matthew was flipping through the documents in his hand, his expression indifferent, "Who?"
Herman, "Guess."
Matthew, "If you won't say, then shut up."
Herman, "You're no fun. I saw Mary. She's right next door."
Upon hearing this, Matthew immediately put down the documents in his hand.
Seeing this, Herman teased, "What? Are you to see her? But I saw she has a date. She might not want to see you right now."
Matthew's face darkened, "A date? Who is she with?"
Herman shrugged, "I don't know. I just saw her go up."
Matthew stood up and was about to go out.
"Don't go. You're being too eager. Why are you so anxious just because she's on a date? Didn't you say she couldn't control you? Rushing over like this just proves her right." Herman said, enjoying the drama.
Matthew ignored him, opened the door, and immediately saw Mary coming out from next door.
Seeing him, she was visibly stunned, then quickly averted her gaze, passing by him like a stranger.
Matthew remained silent.
He glanced at the next private room. Who was she having dinner with?
He only needed to take a few steps to see, but if Mary found out about what he did, she might get angry.
Matthew lowered his eyes slightly, suppressing his emotions, and turned to walk towards the restroom.
Mary came out, and stood in front of the mirror, washing her hands and touching up her makeup. After a while, Matthew stood beside her, his long, attractive hands under the faucet, as the water automatically flowed down, washing them clean.
Mary glanced at him and found herself looking again.
His hands were really beautiful, with long fingers and distinct knuckles. Slightly cupped, a pool of water quickly gathered in his palm. He casually washed his hands, then pulled a paper towel from the side and wiped them dry.
Mary averted her gaze and turned to leave.
"Leaving without getting enough of a look?"
Matthew's clear, pleasant voice rang out, tinged with a light smile.
Mary paused, pursed her red lips, and said, "I wasn't looking."
"Really?"
Matthew elongated his words, took a step forward, and placed his hand in front of her, looking at her with a half-smile.
"Do you like my hands?"
Mary's gaze shifted from his hand to his face, "Yes, I like them. Will you cut them off for me?"
Matthew raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by her unexpected words.
