On their way to Lucy's company, Charlie kept giving Matthew weird looks.

Matthew's skin crawled under his gaze, and he finally blurted out, "What's with you? Why do you keep staring at me like that?"

Charlie sighed. "I never thought you'd let your wife work, Matthew. I figured you'd spoil her rotten and keep her all to yourself at home every day." Matthew shot Charlie a frosty glance. "Spoiling her is one thing, but trapping her is another. You're a lawyer. Shouldn't you know better?"

"Ms. Lucy, Mr. Leon is here."

After a brief chat, she directed Matthew to the private elevator that led straight to Lucy's office.
