    I couldn’t contain my anger. “Wake up! No matter how many deals you sign, it has nothing to do with


    me. Move aside!”


    Matthew hugged me, then quickly kissed my neck while muttering nonsensical words.


    1 forcefully pushed him away and gave him a resounding p. “I’ll repeat it. Please stop harassing me.
