The Walls Are Listening


    Iughed at myself for thinking I had a way back while Matthew and the other woman were already


    transferring assets. I wondered when I became such an idiot. Ivanna was right to call me a fool.


    Matthew was practically selling me off, yet I stood beside him to count his money. I had no idea who


    that


    woman was and how cunning Matthew could be. Still, the woman’s identity was not my priority, I was


    just


    curious.


    Most people in my situation would obsess over finding out who they lost their love to, but the results


    were always the same, no matter who the other person was. I had already lost.


    After some thought, I told Ivanna, “My priority is finding where that money went.”


    “I already have someone looking into it, don’t worry!” Ivanna reassured me confidently.


    I returned to work after our chat to figure out how to reim mypany and bring Matthew down from


    his pedestal. That was my only wish. No one noticed when I had left and returned. After all, everyone


    knew I was the boss’s wife.


    Moreover, it was nearing lunchtime when I returned, and everyone was preparing to leave. Since it was


    a


    time when people gathered to chat, I wanted to ask Matthew what he wanted for lunch.


    When I arrived at his office, his secretary wasn’t there, and the door was half–open. I heard voices


    inside


    the office, which meant Matthew was still there. I was about to open the door when I heard Johnson’s


    voice.


    “Don’t worry. I’ve prepared all the information you requested. You’re a genius, Mr. Murphy, Still, I don’t


    think Madam is interested since she’s rarely at the office. From what I see, she works here just to keep


    an


    eye on you.”


    Johnson’s tone was full of mockery as he continued, “As for the money, I’ve taken care of it ording


    to


    your instructions.”


    My heart raced, and I quickly backed away to ensure they wouldn’t spot me. It was evident they were


    discussing me.


    “Remind the finance department about that. I don’t want any discrepancies orplications,” Matthew


    instructed Johnson, “She’s been on edgetely and always getting ticked off.”


    “Don’t worry about that, Mr. Murphy. I’ve already informed them about it and sorted things out with the


    suppliers. You can rest assured. If anything, we can say the project went wrong. After all, losing money


    In business is a regr thing.


    “At that time, just cooperate and act as if you’re perturbed. What else can Madam do? She hasn’t


    worked for so long. It’d be hard for her to figure anything out,” Johnson sounded confident.


    I was outraged as I clenched my fists, I never expected Johnson to be so devious.


    “y it safe. I…haven’t decided on the next step yet…” Matthew’s words trailed off, but I knew what he


    wanted to say.


    “Oh, Mr. Murphy, are you still tying loose ends there?” Johnson inquired.


    “I can’t show up there. Just keep an eye on it. Damn, none of them are simple folks. Not a single


    reasonable one!” Matthew muttered in frustration, then sighed heavily. “All right, you can go now!”


    I quickly left, making sure to stay out of their sight. My heart pounded as I sat in my office. I calmed


    myself before calling Matthew to ask, “Hey, honey, what do you want for lunch?” T


    “Are you in the office?” His voice was warm. “What do you feel like having? Maybe we can go out


    together?”

    “Sure!” I agreed without hesitation. “I’lle to find you!”


    As I headed out, I bumped into Johnson, who seemed shocked. He must’ve thought I wasn’t in the


    office.


    “M–Madam!”


    I smirked and teased, “What’s wrong? You look like I just caught you red–handed. Why do you look so


    anxious?”


    “Huh? Not at all!” He quickly defended himself. “I thought you weren’t around!”


    “I just got back,” I retorted yfully, then toned it down, “I’m going to lunch with Matthew. Care to join


    us?”


    “I–It’s okay. I don’t want to be a third–wheeler. You two lovebirds should enjoy yourselves,” Johnson


    replied with a humble smile, like an obedientckey.


    Once I met with Matthew, we visited one of my favorite Italian restaurants across the building. While


    waiting for the food, Matthew asked, “What were you up to this morning?”


    “I went to check out some properties,” I replied straightly, then asked, “By the way, when will we get the


    money back?”
