With those words, she made to leave, but Neville, halfjoking, called out, Lets grab dinner sometime when youre free.
Lindsay gave a polite nod in response.
As she exited, Matthew caught Nevilles gaze lingering on Lindsay.

Neville pressed him further, So you just agreed to it? Does Stella even know about this?

Neville rose from his chair, and as he turned to leave, he couldnt resist offering a piece of advice. Just a heads-up, you might want to clear things up with your wife beforehand. If she finds out from someone else and gets jealous, youll find yourself running out of room to explain.
He hurried out of the office without glancing back at Matthews reaction.
Matthew tried to focus on the document, but Nevilles final words echoed in his head.
