Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

As for this Mary, she was just an ordinary employee, throwing her weight around because she had a cousin in HR, and always trying to get Matthew’s attention.

Now, using her to insult Blanca in Matthew’s view, he’d dislike Mary for it, and Blanca herself would lose face. Two birds, one stone.

Lisa covered her lips and giggled. “Never mind, Mary.”

Blanca grew a bit perplexed. These two were acting weird.

What’d she said to get called a bumpkin?NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

And what was wrong with this floor? This was the chairman’s floor. Where’d they get off holding their noses in the air?!

“Stop beating around the bush and just say what you mean.”

“If you don’t get it, I’ll tell you – this outfit of mine can only be worn once. When it gets dirty, you can’t wash it. It’s no good afterwards.”

Blanca recalled how she’d read in magazines that a lot of designer clothes weren’t designed for everyday wear. Those ladies and starlets would only wear those once.

But what this woman was wearing … wasn’t that sort of exorbitantly expensive outfit. Definitely not to the point where it couldn’t be cleaned. She was obviously saying all that just to be difficult. Blanca didn’t have the patience to squabble on and just wanted to resolve it all, so-

“Fine! Then I’ll just pay you back fifteen thousand, is that all right?”

Blanca was about to turn and go to Matthew when that Mary grabbed her wrist. “It is not all right?”

“You’re not done?”

Blanca muttered, staring coldly at Mary.

“I told you, this outfit is high end and rare! Even if you have me a hundred thousand, I couldn’t get it again!”

“So what do you want?”

Mary smirked. “Get down on your knees and apologize.”

Blanca sneered. “Sorry, my lady, but I don’t see a crown.”

“Smartass!”

Mary’s eyes went red with rage and she struck out at Blanca.

Blanca reacted quickly enough, caught her arm, and dragged her back.

Mary staggered back, raised her head, saw Matthew approaching from a distance, and gave a pretentious “ow” as she fell to the ground.

“…” Blanca was speechless. With acting chops like that, she should have been on the big screen.

As she was thinking of all that, there came footsteps from behind. Lisa dipped her head respectfully. “Have we interrupted your rest, Mr. Grant? A thousand apolo…”

“What’s going on, Blanca?”

Matthew didn’t even look at Lisa or listen to a word she said.

Lisa swallowed the latter half of her line and watched Matthew’s expression resentfully. With everything he’d seen, sure he would not like Blanca as much.

She was smirking in secret when Matthew bent worriedly over Blanca. “Why are your clothes dirty? Did you get hurt?”

“No, I just bumped into her.”

Blanca pushed Matthew’s hand off her. She was in a bad mood right now.

She wasn’t stupid. She knew full well how Lisa and Mary were trying to gang up on her.

And both of them were Matthew’s subordinates. That made her a little more resentful towards him.

Seeing that his wife was angry and cold, Matthew realized that she must have been pushed around.
