Irving looked at Dahlia quietly, without any emotion in his eyes. He said indifference and ruthlessness, "Since you are my fiancee, you should do your job well. You should know what you can do and what you shouldn't do. I will give you what you want, but you can't interfere with my private life." His smile had completely gone after he said this.
Looking at his suddenly changed face, Dahlia felt somewhat anxious. Facing such an unpredictable man, she always worried that she would fall into the abyss if she was not careful.
"I know." She answered indifferently. Both of them just wanted to take what they needed from each other, so it didn't really matter how the other party treated them.
As long as she became Mrs. Matthews, there was nothing else she would care about.
"I still have something to do. You should go back now." Irving said, then got up and walked away.
His inky eyes still had no emotion at all.
When he turned the corner, his assistant walked up and whispered in his ear, "Sir, Miss Bleu and her friends are still having dinner in the private room."
Irving nodded and said, "Remember, from tomorrow on, order a bunch of roses every day and send them over."
"Yes, Mr. Matthews." The assistant just nodded, didn't say anything more.
"Mr. Matthews, shall we go and meet Mr. Remar and Mr. King now? They have been waiting for a while."
"Sure." Irving nodded with a strange expression.
He looked up and saw the beautiful night view of the city, but his heart was still as lonely as ever.
The reason why people felt first love was always the most beautiful thing was that they would never forget it. It was engraved in the bottom of their hearts.
Eden, that was the name he would never forget in his life.
She used to smile when he called her name. She was a very quiet girl who rarely said anything. The only chance that they could talk and laugh was the time when they had art class together. However, they only had a few art classes a year.
He had always dreamt of sitting next to her.
However, he was much taller than her at that time, so his dream never came true.
Dahlia left with Irving. Looking at his ruthless back, she felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.
Every man at the party brought a female companion, but he asked her to go back first on her own. What an unromantic man.
Dahlia walked by herself, feeling pretty unpleased. She took a glass of wine from the waiter's hands and then walked to the other side on her own.
The cold wind caressed her face, making her shiver a little. Looking at the night scene in the distance, she sighed slightly.
She did not know if it was a good idea for her to return in this way.
"Jodie, breaking news! This is really breaking news! You would never guess who I just saw. It was Irving Matthews, your ex-boyfriend. Do you know who he is now? He is the president of R.K. Group now. But he has a fiancee."
These words made Dahlia frown. She turned her head and glanced at the woman who was on the phone next to her. She remembered that the woman was with Eden just now.
"Yes! He has a fiancee. But he doesn't seem to care about his fiancee at all. Do you know who he seems to be paying more attention to?"
Dahlia was about to say something, but the last sentence made her stop.
"You are so stupid, Jodie. Have you forgotten who he liked in high school? Everyone knew it."
"Yes, it was Cyan. Irving is so arrogant now. I used to sit next to him in high school, but he said he didn't know me earlier. You've no idea how embarrassing it was. He remembered Cyan, but he didn't remember me. I'm so annoyed.
"Mr. Alwynn, Eden," Irving said with a smile.
Victor said straight away, "Mr. Matthews, I think it would be better for you to call my wife Mrs. Alwynn."
How dare he call her Eden?
When Victor just finished speaking, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Dean. "Mr. Alwynn, Mr. Matthews met Mr. Remar and Mr. King privately earlier. The two of them have always been big clients of Alwynn Group. The product contract has yet to be signed. There are still many details that the other parties are not satisfied with. Now that he has met Mr. Matthews again, I'm afraid that things would not be that simple..."
Victor put the phone back into his pocket, then he heard Irving's voice. "Mr. Alwynn, Eden and I have been friends since high school. I don't think there is any point for me to change it now. Am I right, Eden?" His gentle gaze fell on Eden's beautiful face.
She was very beautiful tonight, especially in this dress.
Eden looked at him quietly, noticing that he was planning something else.
She did not nod nor shake her head, but just smiled faintly.
"Mr. Matthews, I am a little tired, so I want to go back now. Thank you for your hospitality tonight."
"Sure, if you are tired, go back early to rest. See you tomorrow." Irving looked at Eden's every move and acted very gentlemanly.
However, Eden felt a little awkward. Were they supposed to meet again the next day?
Before she could say anything, Victor stretched out and took her into his arm, then walked away quietly.
Irving looked at the two of them, his eyes turned cold. He just wanted to beat Victor right now.
He must get what he wanted.
