She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 454

Just as everyone was about to raise their hands to vote, Matthew suddenly said, "Guys, today might be my last day at the headquarters of Graham Group.

"Since it's such a joyous occasion, shall we take a ten-minute break and let everyone recover a little? Then, you guys can have the energy to celebrate my departure afterward, right? "After all, you all didn't sleep well last night. Some of you even flew back from overseas. You must be tired.

"At the same time, I can reminisce about my last moments in Graham Group. Perhaps I will regret it and kneel in front of everyone to beg you to let me stay. Wouldn't everyone be really pleased then?" Now that Matthew mentioned it, the directors do feel tired.

They had relied on their desire to take revenge on Matthew and teach Matthew a lesson to hold on for two hours just now. Now that things were settled, and they were left with the vote, they relaxed at once. This was especially true for Nicolas. He was already in poor health to begin with. Coupled with the fact that he had not slept the entire night, he was exhausted.

"Dad," he said to Neil, "Since we're not in a hurry, why don't we take a break first?"

Neil closed his eyes. "Let's take a ten-minute break then."

All the directors looked at Matthew with a gloating expression and got up to leave the meeting room.

Some went to the bathroom while some went to the rooftop garden for fresh air. Others went to the smoking room to smoke cigars or headed to the pantry to eat fruits, snacks, and even drink alcohol.

Nicolas chose to smoke to refresh himself. Neil, on the other hand, chose to exercise by taking a stroll in the small garden.

No one paid attention to Matthew. Matthew looked indifferent as he walked to a corner of the conference room to play darts.

Archie looked around and sneakily walked to Matthew's side. He looked happy at Matthew's state while filled with sympathy and worry too. "Hey, Matthew, you should have thought such a day would come, right? Don't you have any preparations or backup plans?" Matthew held a dart between his fingers and stared at the dartboard in front of him. He did not even look at Archie. "Are you happy now? If you are, go on, celebrate. You don't have to care about me."

"Hey, you're in trouble now and I'm the only one on your side. How can you say that?" Archie said in a low voice, "As much as I hate you, I hate these old guys even more. I still hope that you can win."

"You want me to win?" Matthew sneered and threw the dart. The dart hit the bullseye of the dartboard. "If I win, you will be beaten up even worse."

"You-" Archie covered his face and took a few steps back. He said angrily, "How ungrateful. I'm being nice but you don't appreciate it. If you're so capable, go and beat up those old biddies. Why would you hit me?" "As you wish." Matthew gave a strange smile. "You'll see."

When Archie saw Matthew's smile, the hair rose on the back of his neck and his eyelids twitched. He had a bad feeling. He thought, 'Matthew, what are you playing at now?'
