Chapter 16 A Scene to Watch
The footsteps sounded like someone was getting pulled. I was about to open the door and
leave when I heard a man’s voice, “Hey there, beautiful. I finally caught you. I’ve been
missing you like crazy!”
I froze when I realized the voice belonged to Johnson and quickly withdrew my hand from
the door handle. I never expected Johnson to be so audacious. He had a pretty wife, so I
never imagined he would cheat.
It seemed there was no such thing as a good man anymore.
“Don’t even say you missed me. Don’t you have another lover?” a woman spoke bitterly,
“Why were you so friendly to her at the door just now? You were never enthusiastic with
me, and you say I’m important to you? Bullshit! Your words are empty!”
“You’re spouting nonsense. You’re the one who’s always seducing others.”
Immediately after, I heard a rustling sound.
“Good girl. Let me kiss you. I…” Johnson’s words were daring, making my face blush, and
my heart ache.”
That man is my boss, so how could I not be polite toward him and his wife? He provides
me with a job,
and I wouldn’t have the money to support you without it.”
“Your boss is better and much more handsome than you. Ah, why are you in such a hurry?
Someone’s

coming. Ah.” The woman sounded coy, and I could tell they were doing something nasty.
I was annoyed and about to leave when I heard Johnson again, “Don’t even think about
him. He’s not your
type, no matter how handsome he is. He has too many girls anyway, so just focus on me.”
My heart sank when I heard that even Johnson knew about it. He had called me madam
just a while ago, but it seemed ironic now. He must’ve thought I was pathetic when he
greeted me that way.
I tightened my grip around my phone as a sharp pain plerced my heart. On top of that, the
sounds outside the bathroom stall made me blush. Suddenly, I had an idea and pulled out
my phone before leaving.
However, I saw no one when I looked toward the source of the voices. Then I realized the
sounds came from the janitor’s room. So, I tiptoed over, and they were unaware of my
presence. Immediately after, I
recorded their illicit actions without their knowledge/
I checked the recording as I turned and left. The video was enough evidence for me, even
though it was
disgusting. Still, it might come in handy.
My heart still raced when I returned to the private room. My breath was somewhat
constrained, and I had
no idea what Matthew, Ava, and Melanie were discussing in the room.

Ava sat on Matthew’s lap, giggling as her legs dangled. Meanwhile, Melanie’s hair flowed
down Matthew’s neck while she chuckled like a schoolgirl. I had grown accustomed to her
attempts to charm her brother, and their sibling bond was unbreakable.
Matthew saw me and let go of his sister’s hand before calmly asking me, “What took you
so long? The food’s getting cold.”
Melanie glanced at me as I sat down and said, “Chloe, can’t you eat a meal without
disappearing? My brother can’t enjoy his meal in peace without you.”
I ignored her and looked at Matthew. I said backhandedly. “Some people are just beyond
saving.”
Matthew looked at me intensely as the corner of his lips twitched. “What was that about?
Why are you saying such things? What made you feel this way?”
He bombarded me with questions, but I responded with a bitter smile. It seemed I had hit
a nerve. I
maintained my composure and looked at him, saying. The world is so cruel. Men these
days seem to
prefer having flings. Is that because I’m old–fashioned?”
Matthew’s gaze faltered as his head lowered. Then he lifted his gaze and looked at me
smilingly, “Honey,
you’ve become more sensitive lately. What’s causing it? What’s this about flings?”

Melanie muttered disdainfully, “Why are you speaking in riddles?”
I ignored her and kept my gaze on Matthew. “Don’t tell me you don’t understand what I’m
talking about. It
has nothing to do with being sensitive, let alone emotions. Some men just can’t control
their lust, even
when they have their needs met.”
I shot him a meaningful look. I sensed his anxiety, although his face remained calm.
I suppressed the pain in my heart and chuckled. “Honey, you don’t have a fling, do you?
You’re playing it so cool. We haven’t even enjoyed our good days yet. Don’t tell me you’re
lusting for something else?”
“Nonsense!” Matthew quickly retorted, his face slightly flushed. ‘Having you and Ava is
more than enough for me. I don’t have the energy for anyone else! You better not bring
me into this!”
Then he picked up a piece of newly served asparagus and tried feeding it to me. “Try this
and stop overthinking. I’m not preoccupied with such things. Trust me.
Hmph! I scoffed internally.
Unexpectedly, my words rubbed Melanie the wrong way. She pursed her lips and looked at
me, wanting to
say something.
