Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 207: Company X’s New Ambassador
Chapter 207: Company X’s New Ambassador
Mallory didn’t see Mathew for another two days, and when she did he was just as pissed drunk as he was the day he left. She got up from her seat when he barged into her bedroom at the dead of night, reeking strongly of alcohol.
"Matthew what the hell is wrong with you?!" Mallory snapped at him, as she watched him stagger towards her.
"Shhh!" He lunged forward, pressing his palm against her mouth. In low mumbles he asked, "Do you want to wake everyone up? Then they’ll never shut up and leave me alone."
Once he was closer she could pick up on a plethora of perfumes off his clothes. Upon closer inspection, she noticed some bite marks at the side of his neck, giving her a vivid idea of where Matthew had spent his past two days.
"Ugh!" she pushed him away. In a rush, she dashed for the bathroom and splashed water on her face, washing his touch off.
After a gut wrenching minute of cleaning up, she returned to her bedroom with every intention of kicking Matthew out of it.
Little did she expect to walk into him stripping his clothes off.
She sharply turned around, "A-Are you insane?! What...What do you think you’re doing here?!" she raised her voice over the sound of his pants falling to the ground.
A slight thud answered her question, following by Matthew’s inaudible mumblings.
"Hey! Answer me! This might be your house but it’s my bedroom, you can’t come in here, especially when we aren’t even married yet!" she snapped at him.
But Matthew didn’t say a word, neither did he answer her. Pissed, she turned around, "Matthew-" her scolding fell to the sound of Matthew’s silent snoring. He had stripped down of everything but his boxers, showing off the kiss marks splattered across his chest.
A sigh escaped her lips, "Out like a light." She pinched her temples and slightly shook her head from side to side.
Defeated, she closed the door and locked it from the inside. Next, she began to pick up his clothes, holding them as far away from her as possible.
That night, Mallory could not catch a wink of sleep, she hand washed his clothes and aired them out, hoping they would dry fast enough for him to slip out of her room without anyone noticing.
If Sophia was to find out that Matthew had spent the night in her room, she would definitely tell Zachiel and cause unnecessary complications.
"This bastard!" Mallory cursed while taking off his shoes.
She recalled Anna’s words, and couldn’t help but think she was right.
"You really are nothing at all like Thane." She told herself, as she went into the bathroom to wash his socks.
Luther stared at the document in front of him, and the pen his benefactor had given to him. He had shot himself in the leg by siding with someone like Ethan, and now look where it had gotten him. freēnovelkiss.com
He could smell that this was some sort of trap, but he was out of ideas.
His benefactor could see the doubt in his eyes, and reached for his phone. He tapped on an article and placed it in front of Luther to read.
Teary eyed, Luther read the headlines, only to be left stunned out of his mind. He gasped at the news and checked it twice to make sure that he had read it well.
"Hey, what is this? Cassie has become company X’s ambassador?!" he widened his eyes, reeling in the shock.
His benefactor nodded. "My employer wanted to give you some extra insurance that Cassie was in good hands. With her contract with Halton Inc. coming to an end, we’re giving her a brand new chance. But of course, if you don’t want it, we can very well take it away."
Luther listened in disbelief, "But company X is very selective of what talent to endorse." He knew this well because he had been trying for two years to have her become their ambassador.
Considering the fact that it was Damien’s family’s business, he wanted to establish a relationship between Cassie and the nation’s best actor.
But just like Damien, his family was very unwilling to have anything to do with his daughter.
"H-How did you people manage this?" he asked.
"My employer came into some shares in the company and advocated for Cassie to become it’s ambassador." He vaguely responded.
Taking his phone away he showed Luther the news of Cassie’s hospitalization and her pregnancy scandal, bringing him into the loop.
"My Cassie." Tears tricked down his eyes, he couldn’t imagine the pain his daughter must’ve been going through.
"These bastards! How dare they try and bully my daughter when I’m not around! I won’t stand for it!" He raged.
"Cassie, though drowned in scandals, has still caught my boss’s attention, and she is willing to give you both a second chance." His benefactor crouched down to his level and brought their eyes to meet.
"You’re well aware that no one else would stretch a hand out to your Cassie in this situation. If I were you, I’d be jumping at this opportunity."
Luther could sense that there some an ulterior motive not being said, but at the surface level he couldn’t see anything wrong with the idea.
His benefactor had explained that in the contract, they would return ownership of the company to him if he was able to pay the agreed fee and buy it back.
’For now, I don’t have any other choice than to go along with this fof now.’ He told himself, as he took the pen his benefactor handed to him.
Signing the document he convinced himself that once he had cleared his name and gotten everything back, he would take back his company and most especially get back at Ethan.
’For now, Cassie is all that matters, I need to think about her future first.’ He said, handing the signed document back to him.
After glancing through it, his benefactor for the first time ever widened his lips into a full smile, catching Luther off guard.
"You made the right choice Luther Crane, I’m sure Cassie will be very happy working for our boss." He announced in an oh so sinister tone...
