Chapter 286 Matthew’s Car Accident

When Veronica arrived at the front, Ruka was behind her as they departed together.

Now that they were suddenly left alone together, there was a solemn air hanging above Matthew and Xavier.

“President Kings, It’s a known rumor that you’re not close to women, but I think you’re just not content with what you already have.” Xavier gave a gentle snort while mocking Matthew as he lowered his head to slice the steak on his plate.

Matthew’s jade-like fingers raised the wine glass and swirled it a few times before he took a sip of it. Then, he calmly answered, “Young Master Xavier, you still have the time to poke your nose into the affairs of others. I suppose that means… you’re not busy enough.”

Just that sentence alone was enough to act as a deterrent.

“I, Xavier Crawford, will never back down from anything.” After saying that, he set aside his cutleries and turned his head to the side to address Matthew. “And that includes Veronica Murphy.”

Xavier was issuing a challenge to Matthew. As an observer by Veronica’s side, it was clear to him how much Matthew fancied her even though she was unaware of it.

Forget about Matthew and Ruka, the way he looked at Veronica was different from the way he gazed at Ruka. One was with indifference whereas the other was with passion.

Matthew lightly tapped his wine glass with his index finger and noticed Xavier’s reflection that was as smooth as a mirror. Then, with a calm expression, he elegantly sampled the red wine. “It also depends whether you have the ability to do so too.”

“Ah.” When he heard what Matthew said, Xavier laughed. “For me to have a meal with her illustrates that I have the ability.”

Provocation. What a provocative statement. Matthew was not exasperated while facing someone like Xavier. If he were to be angry, he would have lost his temper earlier. It was because he knew that Veronica did not have the hots for Xavier.

She was merely behaving this way because of her feud with Matthew.

Meanwhile, over at the ladies, Veronica went to the sink to wash her hands after using the public toilet. As she stood in front of the mirror, she looked at her reflection and reached out to comb her hair that had been messed up by the wind with her fingers.
