Chapter 433
She froze, her back somewhat stiff.
He still noticed her, even though she thought she was hardly noticeable.
Scarlett Yates sighed softly. Before turning around, she forced a smile at the corner of her lips, then slowly turned her body around, “I originally had something to discuss with you, but seeing that you’re so engrossed in your conversation with this lady, I thought it best not to disturb you p>
“Oh?” Matthew Saxon raised his eyebrows, squinting with a deep smile, “What do you want to talk to me about p>
“Nothing important, we can discuss it later.” His smile was truly dazzling; she took one glance and quickly turned her face away.
What a triumphant look on his face.
“Since you’re here, why wait? Why not just say it now?” Matthew gestured for her to come over, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, curling his lips, saying, “Come over, I’ll introduce you to a friend p>
“No introduction needed, I know who she is p>
“Oh? You know?” Matthew smiled again, raising his eyebrows. Probably because he was with a woman he liked, he seemed in a great mood, his eyes full of cheerful smiles.
Scarlett didn’t want to look at the glaring smile on his face. She turned her gaze to Pearl Simmons, nodded to her gently, and said softly, “Hello, Miss Pearl p>
Pearl suddenly stood up and surprisingly walked towards Scarlett.
Then, under Scarlett’s slightly surprised gaze, she walked up to her, took her hand, and smiled warmly, “You must be Scarlett, I’ve heard Matthew mention you p>
Before Scarlett could say anything, she continued with a sweet smile, “Matthew, how could you fool me like this again? Scarlett is clearly such a cute and beautiful girl, I liked her at first sight, and yet you speak of such a lovely girl as if she has no good qualities. You’re still the same as when you were young, seeing something you want, clearly liking it a lot inside, yet speaking as if it’s worthless p>
“Cough Matthew turned his head, smiling somewhat knowingly, “The fact that Miss Pearl likes her is also Scarlett’s good fortune. It seems that even though she’s a bit dumb, dumb people have their dumb luck p>
“Indeed.” Pearl softly laughed, covering her mouth, and pulled the stunned Scarlett over to Matthew’s side.
She pressed Scarlett to sit next to Matthew, teasingly watching the two of them, “Dumb people have dumb luck, so this girl even managed to steal the hardest heart to win in A City—such luck isn’t something just anyone can have p>
Matthew curled his lips noncommittally.
Seeing Scarlett still gazing at Pearl, bewildered, he reached out and turned her face towards him, pinching her now rosy cheeks, and chuckled lightly, “Stunned? I said I’d introduce you, but it turns out you already know Pearl’s identity p>
Not until his handsome hand pinched her cheek did Scarlett come back to her senses, her eyes wide as she looked at Matthew’s devilishly handsome face.
What, what exactly is going on?
Why does she feel that the relationship between Pearl and Matthew seems unusual, not as she imagined?
“Pearl is a good friend of mine.” Matthew knew she was probably off in her wild thoughts again.
In fact, he had noticed her the moment Scarlett appeared.
She was standing by some flowers, her expression alternating between coldness, sadness, and at times her eyes turned vacant and lonely, looking like she had sunk into the fantasy world she created.
