Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Special Gift?
Now that the stitches from his stomach surgery have healed, Matthias is determined to give his beloved wife this special gift soon. Therefore, he has cleared his schedule for the next week so he can spend as much time with his beloved wife as possible. However, will Victoria be able to make time for a date with him during that week? Especially since Victoria is now the head of the D&C Group since Fransisca was imprisoned.
His wife had always been the one to take the initiative to visit his office, but now it was only right that he should do so. He hadn’t visited the D&C Group building in a long time. Since Gianna’s embezzlement case came to light, all the company’s top brass respected him for saving the D&C Group.
As Matthias entered the management office, he was immediately greeted by a sight completely different from his expectations. This was the first time he had seen his wife working, screaming to the point of being disheveled. He stared at her in shock, afraid to set foot inside.
"Matty, what are you doing there?" Victoria asked, looking at her husband innocently.
Matthias immediately entered the room and locked the door tightly. "Did I come at a bad time?"
"No. In fact, I really need you right now." Victoria immediately got up from her chair and sat on the sofa. "I want to talk to you."
Matthias smiled broadly as he approached his wife and sat down next to her, setting down two paper bags. "Actually, I stopped by the bakery earlier to buy some cookies for you. I saw you looking frustrated while you were working earlier."
Victoria lowered her head in shame and looked away. "Actually, I’m confused as to why I’m so stupid at handling company matters. I’d rather be doing something I’ve always loved."
"That’s why you opened a studio and didn’t want to work in a company because you didn’t like it."
"But no one understands how I feel. They always emphasize that I’m the primary heir to the D&C Group. I should be able to handle all these problems."
"That’s what I’m here for now. Since T&H Group and D&C Group have re-established their partnership, you can ask me for help solving your problems."
"But, I want to do everything alone. I don’t want to bother you anymore."
"Tory..."
"I can reveal the crimes committed by Gianna and Fransisca. If it’s a work matter, I can solve it too."
Matthias took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "Okay, then I won’t force you. But, as your husband, I’ll always support you and be willing to help you."
Victoria’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the various cakes Matthias had bought, neatly arranged on the table. "Just eating your cakes makes me so happy. Thank you, Matty. You are my best husband." She hugged her husband tightly.
"Actually, my purpose in visiting you now is that I want to tell you something important."
"What’s the important thing? Is it work-related?"
"For the next week, can you clear your agenda?"
"What is going on?"
"I still need you to survey the T&H Real Estate housing development project in the Yanmang area."
Victoria rested her chin on her hands. "Actually, I’ve also had to visit various clients’ offices lately."
"So, you won’t be able to go with me to Yanmang?"
A beaming smile spread across her beautiful face. "Of course I can, if I get everything done first. You’ve been my VIP client since the beginning. How could I neglect a VIP client’s duties?"
She hugged her husband tightly. "Thank goodness, I thought you couldn’t do it."
"Of course I can, because I prefer working with you." Victoria kissed him on the cheek briefly. "Because you are my top priority."
"Then, can I accompany you to work now?"
Victoria folded her arms. "Why do you seem so lazy lately? Is your work done?"
"Because I really want to work in your office too. It’s very comfortable here."
"But your office is also very comfortable for me."
Matthias burst out laughing as he hugged his wife tightly. "I’ve actually missed you, Victoria. Ever since you kept visiting me while I was recovering, you never complained."
"That’s because I’m really worried about you, actually."
"Just like I am worried about you now."
Victoria laughed awkwardly. "No one wants to hurt me anymore. Don’t worry, everyone here is very supportive. Especially since they still remember our video from back then."
"Video of our honeymoon in Guam?"
"I thought you always thought of it as a honeymoon, not a business trip!"
"Actually, I really liked our video from that time, too. Thanks to Chris, we also had the opportunity to vacation there to our heart’s content."
"We should thank Chris too because thanks to him, our relationship has become even closer."
drrt...drrt...
Matthias suddenly had to answer Marcel’s call for a moment. His expression returned to seriousness as he talked about work. Then, he turned back to his now-too-adorable wife.
"Matthias, are you sure you don’t need to go back to the office now?"
"No need. Besides, it’s not important if someone suddenly wants to look for me."
"What if it’s an important matter?"
"I think you are more important than that person."
"Do you know that person?"
Matthias shrugged. "No. Because Marcel just said that the woman was talking about someone I know very well." He briefly held his wife’s right hand. "I don’t care if it’s someone I know or not. I want to go on a date with you tonight."
*****
Matthias took his wife on a date to a newly opened restaurant today. The restaurant was quite busy with a variety of high-society customers. Now they were wondering where to sit so they could chat to their heart’s content. Although the restaurant had a romantic setting, the romantic atmosphere was diminished by the crowds.
Victoria gently shook her husband’s hand. "Matthias, why don’t we eat somewhere else?"
"Matthias." A familiar female voice suddenly called out to him, startling Matthias.
