Chapter 16 A Scene to Watch +25 BONUS The footsteps sounded like someone was getting pulled . I was about to open the door and leave when I heard a man's voice , " Hey there , beautiful . I finally caught you . I've been missing you like crazy ! " I froze when I realized the voice belonged to Johnson and quickly withdrew my hand from the door handle . I never expected Johnson to be so audacious . He had a pretty wife , so I never imagined he would cheat . It seemed there was no such thing as a good man anymore . " Don't even say you missed me . Don't you have another lover ? " a woman spoke bitterly , " Why were you so friendly to her at the door just now ? You were never enthusiastic with me , and you say I'm important to you ? Bullshit ! Your words are empty ! " " You're spouting nonsense . You're the one who's always seducing others . " Immediately after , I heard a rustling sound . " Good girl . Let me kiss you . I ... " Johnson's words were daring , making my face blush , and my heart ache . " That man is my boss , so how could I not be polite toward him and his wife ? He provides me with a job , and I wouldn't have the money to support you without it . " " Your boss is better and much more handsome than you . Ah, why are you in such a hurry ? Someone's coming . Ah . " The woman sounded coy , and I could tell they were doing something nasty . I was annoyed and about to leave when I heard Johnson again , " Don't even think about him . He's not your type , no matter how handsome he is . He has too many girls anyway , so just focus on me . " 9 ના ના My heart sank when I heard that even Johnson knew about it . He had called me madam just a while ago , but it seemed ironic now . He must've thought I was pathetic when he greeted me that way . 5 I tightened my grip around my phone as a sharp pain pierced my heart . On top of that , the sounds outside the bathroom stall made me blush . Suddenly , I had an idea and pulled out my phone before leaving . 4 However , I saw no one when I looked toward the source of the voices . Then I realized the sounds came from the janitor's room . So , I tiptoed over , and they were unaware of my presence . Immediately after , I recorded their illicit actions without their knowledge / 2 I checked the recording as I turned and left . The video was enough evidence for me , even though it was disgusting . Still , it might come in handy . My heart still raced when I returned to the private room . My breath was somewhat constrained , and I had no idea what Matthew , Ava , and Melanie were discussing in the room . Ava sat on Matthew's lap , giggling as her legs dangled . Meanwhile , Melanie's hair flowed down Matthew's neck while she chuckled like a schoolgirl . I had grown accustomed to her attempts to charm her brother , and their sibling bond was unbreakable , 2 Matthew saw me and let go of his sister's hand before calmly asking me , " What took you so long ? The food's getting cold . " 2 Melanie glanced at me as I sat down and said , " Chloe , can't you eat a meal without disappearing ? My brother can't enjoy his meal in peace without you . " a I ignored her and looked at Matthew . I said backhandedly , " Some people are just beyond saving . " Matthew looked at me intensely as the corner of his lips twitched . " What was that about ? Why are you saying such 1/2 Chapter 16 A Scene to Watch +25 BONUS things ? What made you feel this way ? " 4 He bombarded me with questions , but I responded with a bitter smile . It seemed I had hit a nerve . I maintained my composure and looked at him , saying , The world is so cruel . Men these days seem to prefer having flings . Is that because I'm old -fashioned ? " 3 Matthew's gaze faltered as his head lowered . Then he lifted his gaze and looked at me smilingly , " Honey , you've become more sensitive lately . What's causing it ? What's this about flings ? " 7 Melanie muttered disdainfully , " Why are you speaking in riddles ? " I ignored her and kept my gaze on Matthew . " Don't tell me you don't understand what I'm talking about . It has nothing to do with being sensitive , let alone emotions . Some men just can't control their lust , even when they have their needs met . " I shot him a meaningful look . I sensed his anxiety , although his face remained calm . 1 I suppressed the pain in my heart and chuckled . " Honey , you don't have a fling , do you ? You're playing it so cool . We haven't even enjoyed our good days yet . Don't tell me you're lusting for something else ? " 3 " Nonsense ! " Matthew quickly retorted , his face slightly flushed . " Having you and Ava is more than enough for me . I don't have the energy for anyone else ! You better not bring me into this ! " 3 Then he picked up a piece of newly served asparagus and tried feeding it to me . " Try this and stop overthinking . I'm not preoccupied with such things . Trust me . Hmph ! I scoffed internally . 4 Unexpectedly , my words rubbed Melanie the wrong way . She pursed her lips and looked at me , wanting to say something . 10
