Matthew was amused by what he saw. "I''ve already told you. You won''t make it past two minutes, but you insisted you could go for five. I was just telling the truth, but you won''t believe me.


    "Let this be a lesson for you. Next time I say something, you''d better believe it."


    Zachary nodded as he was finally convinced by Matthew''s words. He never expected that something as simple as a squat could be so tough.


    "From now on, I''ll take your word for everything."


    Matthew beamed upon hearing this. "Keep practicing it. Once you can manage to perform squats for ten minutes, I''ll teach you two more ways to improve your stamina in bed."


    Zachary chuckled. "Sounds great. Whether I cannd a wealthy girlfriend to pamper me is all riding on you."


    Just then, a red car pulled over by the curb. As the door opened, Rachel stepped out of the car. When she saw Matthew standing there, she walked right up to him.


    When Matthew saw Rachel, he felt a strange flutter in his chest. After not seeing her for a few days, he found out that she looked even more gorgeous.


    Her ck fitted pants hugged her long legs, making them look flexible. Her white silk shirt was partially tucked into her pants, with her curves making the smooth fabric look rounded.


    One nce was all it took for Matthew to feel his heart skip a beat. He quickly shifted his gaze to Rachel''s lovely face. Her beauty was out of this world, but her expression was icy and distant.


    Matthew knitted his brows together. It had taken him a while to get Rachel to open up about her feelings not long ago. But after some time, she had gone back to her old self.


    So, he teased, "Hey, pretty. I took care of your problem. How about you treat me to a meal?"


    When Rachel spotted Matthew, she felt a wave of happiness like they hadn''t seen each other in forever.


    After getting intimate with Matthew, Rachel felt like no one in this world was as close to her as he was-not even her immediate family like Martin, Yvonne, and Fred.


    Just thinking about it made her blush. After a few intimate encounters, she found herself seeing Matthew to be more important than her family.


    Realizing how ridiculous that was, Rachel found her face turning red.


    Upon hearing the suggestion to eat out, she replied without a second thought, "Sure. I''ll treat you to a nice meal."


    Next to them, Zachary nkly watched the scene unfold.


    Matthew''s ex-mother-inw showed up to make a scene, and it ended up hurting Rachel''s reputation. As the cold and distant president, Rachel actually didn''tin at all. She even agreed to take Matthew out for a sumptuous meal.


    Zachary became even more impressed by Matthew. At the same time, he felt more motivated to practice his squats.


    After picking himself up from the ground, Zachary said goodbye to Matthew and Rachel before walking off to the office.


    Seeing Zachary walk away, Rachel added, "I didn''t want to call you out in front of others. Honestly, you should be the one taking me out to eat.


    "What did Tessa''s banner say? What does she take me for? I bet half of the staff is talking about me marrying a jerk. How do I even face everyone now?"


    Matthew was surprised to see that Rachel cared about this. She just kept quiet to save him from embarrassment. Undoubtedly, Rachel was quite a considerate person.


    Matthew felt touched. "Sure. I''ll take you out for a meal."


    Rachel shook her head. "I was just joking. I wasn''t serious about you buying me a meal. Thepany is facing some troubles, so I need to get back and sort things out."


    When Rachel said that, she looked


    over at Wealthwave Group''s building. That was when she suddenly noticed that the ss door had been smashed. A few janitors wereing out to clean the mess.


    Startled, Rachel eximed, "Who smashed thepany door?"


    Matthew responded next to her, "A bunch of people showed up to make a scene.


    Is thepany in some kind of trouble?"


    Rachel frowned slightly. A hint of


    exasperation shed in her


    enchanting eyes. "You might not believe this, but I just acquired a traditional medicine factory. But the day before the handover, someone took the medicine form.


    "The factory I bought is basically an empty shell. On top of that, he told me to just


    close the factory. I can''t shake the feeling they are after me."


    Matthew realized the gravity of the matter. He thought for a moment before suggesting, "How about I be your chauffeur for the next few days?"


    Rachel''s face beamed with joy. "Great! I''d love that." With Matthew around, Rachel wasn''t afraid of anything.


    Matthew gently asked, "I haven''t driven your car in a long time. How about I take it


    for a ride to get the hang of it again?"


    Rachel leaned closer. "Sounds good. I''ll ride shotgun and join you for a spin."


    As she spoke, she opened the door to the front seat and got in. Rightzas she was about to buckle her


    seatbelt, she felt a firm handnd on


    her knee and slide up her thigh.

    Rachel jumped in surprise. "Didn''t you say it''s been a while since you''ve taken my


    car for a ride? Aren''t you going to get familiar with it? You pervert—"


    Matthew immediately interrupted Rachel. "You''re the one I want to take for a ride. Don''t move. I''m going to shift my gear."
