He stared at her. She looked familiar to him, but he couldn’t remember her.
He turned his attention from her back to his phone.
People around her snickered at her in mockery due to Matthew’s reaction.
She went to him and said, “Don’t you remember me, Matthew? I’m Leslie, Mateo’s daughter.”
Matthew stared at her again when she mentioned Mateo’s name.

“Okay,” he said before ignoring her again.
Leslie’s smile froze. However, she managed to not let her displeasure show. Doggedly, she continued, “I’m here with my father. I’m supposed to go upstairs after buying the cake. I wasn’t expecting you to be here as well. Do you like the cake this shop sells? I prefer…”
Matthew interrupted her.
“I came to buy it for my wife.”
His words felt like cold water on her skin. However, she managed to force a smile on her face.
She had a huge crush on Matthew.
He was an extremely attractive man. It was unfortunate that he was already married.

Leslie was disappointed in his indifference. However, she still stayed with him, as it was a rare chance for her to see Matthew.

Matthew didn’t agree, nor did he refuse.

The restaurant had three elevators. However, two of them had a sign stating they were out of order.
Matthew’s eyes narrowed slightly at this, but he followed Leslie to the other elevator.
She pushed the button, and they both walked in.
Not long after the elevator door had closed, a man in a peaked cap, not far away from the elevator, said to another person on the other end of the phone, “Matthew has gotten into the elevator.”
A hoarse voice on the other end of the line replied, “Teach him a lesson.”
The elevator began to move up.
Matthew ignored Leslie and instead focused on reading the report on his phone.
His face had a bored expression on it, but even then, he still looked handsome.
