Chapter 16
Matthew ut in the backseat of the Porsche, frowning. The Mini walled a few times on the road, and Matthew’s patience wore off. He asked Charles to pick him up. His time had been wasted on the road. When he was finally close to the company, the car was rear–ended. This really put Matthew
Matt saw a young man in a trendy outfit getting out of the MMW from the rearview mirror. He looked like some frivolous twenty–something and didn’t seem to take the accident seriously. But then he saw the Porsche logo, and his face went pale. Matthew signaled to Charles to handle it. Caleb was responsible for the crash and had to pay for the damages. Charles told him it would set him back 16 thousand dollars to fix the Porsche. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
When Caleb heard the number, he freaked out. He made a decent amount of money but was not able to save much. He drove a BMW, but it was. the cheapest model and only cost around 40 thousand dollars. That was hardly enough to buy a tire for a Porsche. He still owed money on the BMW loan and couldn’t afford 16 thousand dollars.
Matthew actually did this on purpose. He didn’t care about the money but would love to teach a frivolous young man a lesson.
Just then, he heard Charles saying, “Mr. Grant, that seems to be Miss Warren. She just got out of the car,”
The familiar name caught Matthew’s attention. He looked in the rearview mirror and saw a woman in a white shirt and black skirt. It was Valerie.
“What’s she doing there?” he thought, his eyes genting cold.
Valerie checked out the dent on the Porsche, took some quick pics, and made some calls. “Calm down,” she said to Caleb, who was freaking out
Then, with a smile, she went up to Charles and said, “Sir, we’re sorry about the crash. We’re down to pay for the damage, but 16 thousand dollars is way too much. I have a friend who works at the Porsche Service Center. Can we send your car over there? We’ll cover the bill no worries. You know there’s always a line for Porsche repairs. But don’t you worry, I have your car back to you in two days tops, so we don’t cause you any more trouble. We really appreciate it if you could say yes to this” She said it with a big smile and a logical mindset without sounding arrogant or timid.
Charles was hesitant. Then, a slender, bony hand stuck out of the window and did a little wave. It was obviously a man’s hand. The simple movement was somehow eye–catching. Charles’s attitude became soft, and Valerie knew the one sitting in the backseat owned the Porsche. She nodded slightly toward the rearview mirror to thank him, regardless of whether he could see her or not
“Our president has an important meeting later,” said Charles.
Sure, no problem. I’ve already talked to my friend at the Porsche Service Center, and you’re always welcome there. This is my personal business card, so feel free to contact me with any issues“Valerie smiled and handed over her business card.
Back in the car, Charle couldn’t help but joke. “I didn’t expect you to be kind to a woman, Mr. Grant‘
Matthew narrowed his eyes and said, “You’re playing with fire, Charles.”
Charles felt a chill down his spine and sat up with his mouth shut
Matthew looked at the rearview mirror again. He didn’t mean to help Valerie out, but the meeting was about to begin. And he didn’t want Valerie to walk up and see his face.
He was slightly impressed by her just now. Despite the troubling situation, she managed to remain calm, smiling, and organized. Instead of panicking, she focused on finding a solution as if she would never freak out
“Why was she in that BMW? And that man… Matthew thought. He saw that tall man staring at Valerie. Manhew’s eyes darkened.
