CHAPTER 453: CHAPTER 453: I’LL BE THE BEST MAN AT YOUR WEDDING 3

"If you can’t say it, send me a message later." Matthew Morgan made the decision outright.

"No!"

Chloe Grant was anxious, "I haven’t encountered any trouble, and I didn’t mean to say anything’s wrong. The reason I’m getting close to you is because I want to..." She took a deep breath, "get to know you better."

Some words were difficult for Chloe to say, her heart tangled and hesitant... but once she started speaking them, she found it wasn’t that hard after all.

"Get to know me?" Matthew looked at her, and surprise clearly flashed in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected her to say that to him.

While Chloe had been meeting his gaze, she eventually turned her eyes away first.

Matthew’s gaze... she couldn’t look at it too much.

"I just feel guilty. All these years, I’ve never truly gotten to know you. I..."

"Enough."

Before Chloe could finish, Matthew already didn’t want to hear more.

He reached out, gripping Chloe’s chin, making her look up, his eyes pressing in, "I’ve said it countless times before, and now I’ll say it one last time. Chloe Grant, I don’t love you. Whatever I did for you in the past was just in the past, so you don’t need to know me or get close to understand me. Remember, it’s not necessary!"

After he finished speaking, he released Chloe’s chin, turned his head, and looked ahead.

Facing his words, Chloe was especially stunned.

She stared blankly at his profile, forgetting to react for a moment.

"Get out."

Finally, he ordered impatiently.

Chloe moved her lips, wanting to say something, but found... there was nothing to say.

Matthew’s blunt words shattered all the statements she had mustered the courage to deliver, destroying them completely!

Chloe silently pressed her lips together. Even as her eyes turned red, she stubbornly held back.

"I’m sorry." she said.

Her voice was choked.

When tears started to fall, Chloe pushed open the car door and walked quickly towards the company.

She never looked back.

She didn’t dare to look back.

Her self-deception and embarrassment.

She couldn’t bear the shame, with her thin-skinned pride.

In the car, Matthew turned his head to watch her trembling back, with no expression on his face, so deep that it was hard to guess any of his emotions.

The phone rang, and Matthew answered through the car’s Bluetooth, "Matthew, I’ve arrived."

The voice that echoed in the car was somewhat cold and androgynous, hard to distinguish gender.

"I know, do what you need to do." Matthew replied, then started the car and drove off.

...

Chloe returned to the office in a daze.

The new director held a meeting.

The content of the meeting addressed two matters: First, regarding light-hearted and comedic themes, all three hosts could bring their interns to record programs this week. The decision on who will lead this genre will be based on the show’s listening rate after a year of fierce competition among the three major hosts.

This is not only a competition among the three hosts but also among the three interns.

The intern of the program with the highest demand will directly sign a three-year contract with the company after graduation.

The second matter is the collaboration between the station and a production team, entrusting the station with dubbing for all the roles in the entire drama.

Since the deputy director facilitated this collaboration, this project will be under the full responsibility of the deputy director.

These two matters will be the most important in the forthcoming three months.

At the end of the meeting, the director pointed very seriously at Chloe Grant, "You’re the one with the luxury car picking you up at noon, come with me."
