Chapter55
You Are Thinking Too Much
But hearing her name now, he was reminded of the words that she said to him that day.
That he did not know what it meant to like someone.
Did he really not know what it meant to like someone?
Matt suddenly thought of something. It's okay if he doesn't how to like someone. For Rose, he wanted to learn it now. Solely for her. He wanted to learn it now.
"Sir?" The secretary called when Matt did not give her a response for some time.
"Let her come in" Matt said he still remembered how work. There was no way that he was going to ask rose to leave because this dillisional Kaira was still here.
"Kaira,I have to work now. Aren't you leaving?" Matt asked. He did not bother to be polite with her anymore. The more polite you were to people like Kaira, the more they felt that they could do whatever they want. It was annoying.
Kaira was quiet since Matt was on his phone but she glared at him when he asked her to leave. She has heard some words when the secretary called Matt and dhd could make out the name Scarlett.
She had done her research before coming. She knew that Scarlett was an artist under this company.
The Scarlett that married Ryder. She had not met the woman but she had a deep sense of hatred for her.
Hmph! That cheap woman must have found a way to seduce Ryder since they worked in the same company.
"You Matt....." Kaira was going to say something when the door opened and a woman walked in.
Kaira turned over to look at the woman.
She did not know who she was. Who is this person?
She turned to look at Matt. Immediately he saw that woman, his mood changed all of a sudden. He had been quite confident when he was talking to her,but facing this woman, Kaira could not explain it.
It seemed that he could not bring himself to look into her eyes.
Kaira eyed Matt and the woman. It seemed that there was some kind of relationship between these two people. What was it? What is going on between them?
Rose walked over to Matt as if she had not seen Kaira. But the truth was, she had seen her. Immediately, she entered the office, she had noticed her.
The woman was too high profile for someone not to notice. It was as if she was scared that someone won't be able to tell that she was rich. She was dressed in branded clothes all through.
Rose really could not understand the woman's dressing. Does she want to impress someone?
Immediately she thought of that, she subconsciously glanced at Matt. It seemed that she was right about him. There is no way that this person will be different from Ryder. The both of them are the same people.
Just a few days he was telling her that he loved her and now today some other woman is in his office.
Rose felt lucky that she did not fall for his words. She already told herself that she won't be fooled so easily.
She would be the only one in pain in the end if she did that. .
Rose pushed all those thoughts to the back of her head at once. She came here for Scarlett.
Or else, and won't bother to see this person. Actually, she has been trying to avoid him for the past few days.
"Director, These are the plans that I have to promote Scarlett's new drama. She'll be back from her honeymoon in a few days. She already has a drama that she agreed to do before she left. We'll have to promote it well so her getting married doesn't affect her career" Rose said.
Making profits was the goal for the company. And Scarlett made a lot of money for them. They had to plan her career well.
Kaira perked up her ears when she heard the woman mention Scarlett's name. She will be back from her honeymoon soon? Then does this mean that Ryder will be coming back soon?
Hearing them talk about Scarlett like this made Kaira angry. After all, she is the woman who seduced Ryder and got him to marry her.
"Scarlett? Is it that actress Scarlett? Are you close to her?" Kaira asked.
Rose was doing a good job of avoiding and ignoring the woman in the office since it has nothing to do with her but then she spoke up. Rose could not help but turn to look at her.
Then she asked,"Are you talking to me?"
Kaira rolled her eyes "whose else would I be talking to? Are you close to Scarlett?" Kaira asked. She could not hold herself back anymore.
Matt kept glaring at her to stop her from talking but she acted as if she could not see him. She was focused on Rose.
Rose chuckled. "Then let me ask you. Do you know Scarlett?"
Kaira was angry. How dare this woman return her question to her? In country F, she was used to everyone trying to suck up to her and doing whatever she wants. She really could not get used to people looking down on her here and talking back to her. Just who do they think they are?
"I asked you a question first!" Kaira said.
"On what basis should I answer your question? Do we know each other?" Rose asked. She was angry but she tried hard to hold herself back.
Looking at this woman, she looked like she was even more stupid than Sonia.
"You .. !" Kaira was really angry now.
"Kaira that's enough!" Matt said. He really could not stand this woman anymore. Why does she think that everyone is entitled to do what she wants?
"I already told you that I won't be helping you out! Leave now!" Matt said.
. anyone who knew Matt would know that although he was always smiling, whenever he got angry, it was a different story altogether. There was no one who could stop him then.
He was completely ruthless if he got angry with you.
"Matt!" Kaira was angry that he did not take her side. Why is he on the side of this woman?
Rose laughed. She really did not have the strength to deal with this woman right now. Scarlett was coming back soon and she had to deal with her first.
"I'm going to make a move now. Ah, those are the publicity events I came up with. Look through them first" Rose said and walked out.
It was clear that she was angry. Matt could not resist the urge to slap a hand to his forehead. It was clear that the woman was angry.
Things between them were already awkward enough as it was, Kaira just had to make things worse. She isn't just ojt to ruin Ryder's relationship, she also wants to make things difficult for him too right?
"What do you think that you are doing Kaira?" Matt asked. He has completely lost his temper with her now.
"What I'm doing? What did I do? I just asked that woman a question!" Kaira said. She glanced at Matt when she said this.
The expression that was on his face right now could be said to be scary. Kaira wasn't completely stupid. She was a woman too and she could tell that there was something going on between Matt and that woman.
She had been trying to avoid his gaze when she walked in and her attitude towards her was cold. Probably because she met her in Matt's office. What is thier relationship?
"A question? What has Scarlett got to do with you?" Matt asked. He could not understand how Kaira's brain worked. Anyone would be angry to be questioned like this. What did she think she was doing?
"Scarlett has got everything to do with me! After all, she is the one who stole Ryder from me!" Kaira said.
Matt "....."
He was completely speechless. Somehow, the conversation was steered in this direction again. He really did not want to say anything more to this woman.
He just wanted her to leave.
"You seriously...." He could not even make a complete sentence now.
Kaira knew that Matt was really angry now. She did not want to chased out before she left. Anyway, he already made it clear that he won't be helping her. There was no need for her to continue to linger here.
"I'm going to leave now" Kaira said.
Matt sighed in relief. She still has enough common sense to get lost on her own.
Before she left, Matt said, "Kaira....you should move on with your life now. It's not going to be possible with you and Ryder"
Kaira sneered when she heard that. Not going to be possible? They would see about that.
"I don't think it's any of your business. You already made it clear that you won't be helping me. Why should you care about what I do?" Kaira said. She picked up her steps and walked out.
That darn Matt. Who does he think he is? Does he think that he can make her do give up?
********
Peter walked into his house. The only thing that he had on his mind was to rest after a long day at work. Ryder would be coming back in a few days.
He had to make sure that everything was in place for Scarlett to pick up her career immediately after she comes back.
But he sure wasn't expecting to see a certain someone he had not seen in ten years sitting in his living room.
Peter turned on the lights in the house and sitting on his couch was a woman.
He opened and closed his eyes several times to make sure that he wasn't dreaming and that this woman was actually standing in front of him right now.
"You....Kate....what are you doing here?" Peter finally found some words after the shock wore off from him. It seemed that Kate did not have any intentions of starting the conversation so he had to do it himself.
"What? I can't be here?" Kate asked, casting a long glace at him.
Peter was stunned. He could not say anything. He really did not know what he was supposed to say to this woman who disappeared from his life ten years ago without as much as a simple explanation.
"Besides, if you don't want me to come back you should have changed the lock. Didn't you leave it that way because you were actually hoping for me to come back?" Kate asked.
Peter didn't say anything because she was almost right. At first, he didn't change anything about this place because he was actually waiting patiently for her to come back.
But then, his waiting became an habit and over the years, he really did not see the need to change anything. He just continued to live like this.
But.....this doesn't explain the reason why she disappeared and then showed up all of a sudden right?
What is going on?
"You ....don't you have anything to explain to me?" Peter asked. She owed him an explanation. Her explanation was exactly ten years late!
"Explain? What should I explain? I didn't want to live with you anymore and so I left. What's the big deal?" Kate asked. It was clear that the woman did not have any remorse at all. In fact, it could be said that she felt that she has done something right.
