Chapter 213
Matthew quickly pulled his hand back, realizing he had acted without thinking. He hurriedly explained, "With all the money you gave me, I figured I'd provide you some services. It's free." Rachel's face was beet red. The warm touch from earlier felt like a spell, making her legs nearly give out. She tried to stay composed.
"I'm warning you, Matthew. This is the first and last time. If it happens again, I won't be so nice next time."
Matthew subconsciously rubbed his hands together. Man, that felt amazing.
He then responded, "You're supporting me, so I'll do what you say. If you're upset, how about I let you touch me to make up for it?"
Watching Matthew rub his hands together, Rachel was so mad that she started clenching her teeth.
What a jerk! Matthew was becoming more and more perverted. Matthew was dependable and devoted to love. Plus, he was also an excellent doctor. His only downside was being a bit of a pervert.
Rachel wasn't sure if Matthew was the right person to marry. With a tinge of sadness, she opened the door and got out of the car.
Matthew brought his hand to his nose and took a whiff. A fragrant scent wafted over him, and he was somewhat enchanted.
After three years, he had finally laid his hand on a woman, but he didn't get to taste her yet. With a hint of regret, he opened the door and stepped out.
Bruce was keeping watch at the warehouse entrance when a car pulled over. At a glance, he could tell that the car belonged to a rich person. As a strikingly beautiful woman got out of the car, his eyes were glued to her.
"With a woman this pretty, even if I can't take her home, just holding her hand would make my life worth living," Bruce thought to himself.
Staring in a trance, Bruce suddenly saw Matthew get out of the car, so he hurried over. "What a surprise to see you, Mr. Grant!"
Matthew flashed him a smile. "I want to show my boss around the warehouse today."
Bruce glanced at Rachel and muttered, "Is that gorgeous lady the boss?"
Matthew nodded. "Yes, she's the boss."
Bruce suddenly thought of something. "By the way, did the boss agree to make me the assistant warehouse manager, Mr. Grant?"
Matthew chuckled and replied, "The

Bruce was taken aback. Then, things started to click for him. He discreetly gave Matthew a thumbs-up. "You're amazing, Mr. Grant. You actually won over the beautiful boss.

Knowing that Bruce had caught the wrong idea, Matthew shook his head. He was engaged to Rachel before becoming a manager, so he didn't use her to climb the ladder.
But Matthew found it difficult to explain this. "Stop making things up. Come on. Let's show the boss the herbs."
Bruce nodded repeatedly. He was in awe of Matthew. He respectfully made his way to Rachel. "I'll take you to see the herbs."
Rachel entered the warehouse and saw how spacious it was. After asking around, she found out that most of it was vacant.
Seeing the herbs, she finally felt at ease. Rachel advised Bruce on a few things and added that more security guards would be assigned to guard the herbs. Bruce felt nervous in front of Rachel and kept nodding repeatedly.
After walking out of the warehouse, Rachel paused for a moment before instructing, "Send me home."
Thinking back to the 50 million dollars Austin took from Rachel, Matthew said, "Austin didn't do his part. We have to get the 50 million dollars back."
A hint of doubt flashed in Rachel's mesmerizing eyes. "Are you being serious?"
Austin was quite influential. He had a key role in the approval and testing of the drugs.
If they demanded the 50 million dollars back, they'd upset Austin. Troubles would start lining up for them, and they might even be forced to cease production.
Even though Austin had failed to deliver, the money was as good as down the drain. Despite that, Matthew urged Rachel to get her money back.
