Chapter 11

Rachel was taken aback. Matthew had just asserted they were in a relationship, catching her completely off guard.

She had never been in this situation before. Was Matthew staking a claim on her?

Rachel's face flushed with embarrassment and a touch of annoyance. She was only doing this for Fred's sake and didn't want rumors spreading that she was supposedly involved with a pervert like Matthew. Her delicate features glowed with a hint of anger. "You didn't have to announce our relationship to everyone."

Despite her anger, her beauty softened her words, giving her a coy, almost playful demeanor. It was a captivating sight.

Larry's jaw dropped. He had always seen Rachel as the icy, unapproachable president. In fact, many employees often wondered if she ever smiled.

Now, he witnessed a different side of her that seemed softer and more vulnerable. It dawned on him that Matthew might really be her boyfriend.

The thought was almost unbelievable-a mere driver dating the billionaire president? It was hard to fathom, but the scene unfolding before him left little room for doubt.

Realizing the gravity of his actions, Larry's face turned ashen. "Mr-Mr. Grant, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize who you were. Please don't hold this against me."

Regret flooded over Larry. He had unknowingly provoked Rachel's boyfriend. This was a complete disaster!

Matthew's tone remained cold and biting. "Just moments ago, you were telling me to get lost."

Larry trembled with fear as he slapped himself across the face. "I was blind and ignorant, Mr. Grant. I failed to recognize who you were. I was a fool! It was all my fault. Please, forgive me."

His self-criticism rang out with each resounding slap.
