Chapter 634 A misunderstanding
Herman carefully observed Matthew's expression and saw his demeanor quickly turn cold, his entire aura changing.
He cleared his throat and said, "Maybe I got it wrong. He didn't come to celebrate your birthday. She is..."
"Shut up!" Matthew snapped, handing the phone back to him and getting up to leave.
Herman fumbled to catch the phone and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
On the same floor, in another private room.
Mary walked in, seeing Robert surrounded by a group of people, sitting in the middle of the sofa. The atmosphere in the room was lively, and everyone was complimenting Robert.
"Robert." Mary walked over, a faint smile appearing on her face.
Robert heard the voice and looked over at her, a charming smile immediately appearing on his delicate and handsome face. "You're here; come here."
Seeing this, the people around quickly made a space for Mary.
Mary walked over and handed him the bag in her hand. "Happy birthday."
Robert was even more surprised. His smile deepened as he saw the shirt inside the bag. "Out of everyone, your gift is the most to my liking. I'm about to start working at the company and really needed a shirt. Thanks."
Mary chuckled silently. With his status, how could he lack clothes to wear?
That was just his way of acknowledging her.
Robert took out his phone, snapped a photo of the bag, and immediately posted it.
Mary sat beside him, picked up some juice, and started drinking.
After posting, Robert asked, "How have you been lately?"
Mary replied, "Pretty good, nothing unexpected."
Robert nodded, "That's good."
"Robert, who is this beautiful lady?"
"Robert, aren't you going to introduce her?"
Some of the more outgoing people around, seeing how familiar Robert and Mary were, started teasing.
Robert glanced at the person and said, "Don't talk nonsense, she'll get shy."
"She'll get shy!" The person mimicked Robert's tone, a knowing smile on his face. "It seems like your relationship is quite special!"
Mary lowered her eyes slightly. The atmosphere was lively, but she still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Robert patted her arm and said, "They're just used to being casual. Please don't take offense."
Mary nodded, "I know. It doesn't matter."
The atmosphere in the room gradually became more lively, and Mary's mood was also affected, a faint smile always on her face.
At this moment, the door to the room opened, and Joan walked in.
"Look who's here, it's Joan!"
"What gift did Joan prepare this year?"
"Last year, Joan gave Robert an island. What heavyweight gift did she prepare this year?"
Seeing Joan, everyone started teasing more casually and familiarly.
Joan raised her chin and smiled, "Of course, I brought the best."
Her gaze fell on Robert, and she saw Mary sitting next to him. Joan's face immediately turned sour. She walked over and yanked Mary up.
"What are you doing here?"
Mary was taken aback and stopped abruptly, a look of surprise on her face. Seeing Joan's furious expression, she knitted her brows.
