Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1128 :Do you need to make a phone call to ask her?

Matthew looked puzzled.

Until an hour later, the one who was supposed to be in the office was still nowhere to be seen.

She frowned slightly. It seemed that she had been really frightened by his behavior last night.

Everything had been fine before. Suddenly she didn't show up.

Did she really mean it, that she would have nothing more to do with him?

Under his eyes, it was hard to see what her real emotions were. After a long time, he called Clare and asked her to reconvene the meeting.

The meeting originally scheduled for today had been postponed until the next day. Then it had been reconvened. Chiara felt tired, but being a secretary with perfect skill and efficiency, she dared not say no or make complaints. She nodded and would fix it when she knew.

Half an hour later, the meeting began.

Before entering the room, Matthew looked at Clare.

-Have you received any news today?

That sudden question surprised Chiara. She reacted quickly. Anna, who was supposed to report to the office, had not come.

-No.

She thought quickly as she shook her head.

During this period, Anna came every day at a fixed time. Not to mention Matteo, Chiara, the secretary, was used to it. So when Matteo had told her to refuse the meeting, Chiara had thought he had done it for the girl in particular.

She had not imagined that she would not even see his shadow.

And Matteo was waiting for her alone in the office.

Moreover, he had reconvened the meeting.

At that point, he kept asking her if she had any news.

He was obviously asking her about Anna, wasn't he? -Mr. Matteo, do you need me to call her to ask?

-No need.

Matteo coldly rejected Clare's proposal and casually walked into the meeting room. Clare suddenly did not know what to make of the incident and bowed her head.

Later in the meeting, everyone could clearly feel the low pressure in Matthew's body. In communicating with him, they were worried that it might suddenly cause problems. Therefore, they were cautious in speaking, for fear of making a mistake.

Clare, at his side, had a panoramic view of everything that had happened.

She found that although the aura around Matthew was very low, he contained his emotions and temperament very well from beginning to end. He also listened seriously to the speech of others, making suggestions from time to time.

Clare sighed in her heart that he was too capable of hiding his thoughts and controlling himself.

There was no telling when he would explode, right?

When the meeting was over, Matteo went straight back to the office. Chiara thought over and over again. Finally, he decided to go downstairs to ask the receptionist.

When the receptionist was asked this question, she avoided eye contact. Perhaps it was because she had a guilty conscience.

Since the incident the day before yesterday, she had always been very worried, afraid of getting into trouble for her. So when that group of people had said that they would find a time to go to the store to bother her during the vacation week, she had convinced them not to.

They had not listened to her, but despised her for being a wimp. The receptionist had made it clear that she would not go, even if they insisted on going.

Chiara suddenly came and asked, but Anna had not come. The girl had a terrible suspicion.

She simply had not come for a day, and the secretary had come to ask her in person. One could see how noble the woman's identity and status were. If she was just a take-out delivery girl, how could the secretary Clare personally ask?

-I, I don't even know? She usually comes here, why not today?

Chiara was very shrewd. He had hesitated with a furtive glance when he heard her speak. Chiara immediately knew something was wrong and stared at her with her eyes.

-What is wrong with you?

At Chiara's question, the receptionist's complexion changed.

-No.

-No? Then why are you so nervous?

She bit her lower lip in fear, -I, I--I see her coming here often, but she didn't come today, so I'm a little worried.

-No way," Clare vetoed her statement on the spot. If you were just worried, you wouldn't be so evasive in looking at me, you wouldn't even look at me. Do you know what's written on your face now? Unconsciously, the girl reached out her hand and touched her face, not understanding, "What does it say?

Where were the words on your face?

How was it possible?

-Dirty consciousness," smiled Clare.

-No way," she shook her head. How can you write words on my face?

Chiara was surprised.

Was she stupid, did she really feel like there were characters written on her face? Chiara coughed slightly, "I think I have to explain it to you. The guilty conscience I told you refers to your expression. Also, what you said is very vague. You hid some things at first sight. Tell me, what happened, do you know anything?

The girl kept shaking her head and firmly told him no.

-All right. No need to say it now, but you, wait for me to investigate.....

She immediately replied, -It has nothing to do with me. They said they wanted to come and see what the girl who delivers food to Mr. Matteo every day was like. They insisted on coming, and I couldn't stop them, so....

I didn't expect her to confess so quickly. Chiara couldn't help but arch her eyebrows.

-So they mistreated her? Did she get so scared that she didn't come today?

-No, no, no, no!" she immediately denied, explaining herself. That was two days ago. Anna was still here afterwards. I don't know why she didn't come today. I really don't know...

Did it happen two days ago?

Chiara thought for a moment. If it happened two days ago, then there would be nothing important. Anna had not said anything when she had met her, it seemed that there should be nothing serious. But... Chiara narrowed her eyes again and looked dangerously at the receptionist.

-Even though nothing happened, you mistreated her together, is that true?

She bit her lower lip, looking pained, -I didn't. I didn't say anything that day. They were the ones who argued with her. Secretary Chiara, in general everyone loves Mr. Matteo, but now suddenly we see that a take-out delivery girl can freely go in and out of his office. So, we feel a little angry. Don't be angry with us, okay? We just talked to her and didn't mistreat her.

He was sincere in what he said, and Chiara felt it made sense.

In recent times, Anna was always showing up at the company, and indeed, there were many people who were jealous.

-She only comes here to deliver takeaways. If no one makes a fuss, there won't be as many people who know. You are here for work, not for gossip. It is useless to pretend to be innocent when it happens. Saying this, Clare's eyes became sharper and her tone even colder.

-What the Giordano Group wants is a capable employee. If this happens again next time, then--go to the personnel office for resignation.
