Chapter 118 Hold Back
Following Matthew, Elizabeth noticed that the woman leading the way had a slim waist. The gown she was wearing
accentuated her perfect body figure.
Her long, slender legs, especially, made her look extra attractive. As the rumors said, those who work on the
twelfth floor are beautiful.
Seeing that Elizabeth was far behind him, Matthew stopped and reached out his hand to take her hand in his..
“What are you thinking about?”
Elizabeth regained her senses once she heard his voice.
Then, she replied softly, “People have told me that the women on the twelfth floor are bombshells. I’ve finally seen
it for myself!”
Matthew furrowed his brows upon hearing her response. Why doesn’t she realize that her body figure is better than
every worker here?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe ushers helped to open the door once Matthew and Elizabeth arrived at the room.
Holding Elizabeth’s hand in his, Matthew strode into the room. It was an extremely spacious area that could
accommodate events such as karaoke and disco dancing. Besides, there were a few small private rooms. One of
them was the games room.
Sitting on the longest couch, Nicolas was surrounded by women. They were chatting happily.
Elizabeth could not care less about it because Nicolas was a seasoned womanizer in Mistwood. The man loved
enjoying life and had been changing girlfriends.
Scanning the room, she spotted Leonard sitting at one side, singing. The lady who was at his house earlier today
was there, too.
The moment Leonard saw Elizabeth and Matthew, he stared at them and said over the microphone, “Hi, Mr. Hilton
and Ms. Wade.”
Many people were in the room, and most of them were Nicolas’s friends. In other words, they were members of the
upper crust.
Elizabeth smiled. She only had an objective tonight-get Leonard to agree to donate bone marrow to Pearl, no
matter how.
The crowd noticed Matthew and stood up subconsciously. They wanted to allow him to choose the woman he liked.
Elizabeth retracted her hand from Matthew’s and trotted toward Leonard before sitting beside him.
“Hi, Mr. Johnson! Are you singing now? Do you want me to accompany you?”
Realizing that Elizabeth was asking for it, Leonard smiled devilishly and raised his brows at Matthew. Leonard
gestured for Matthew to rest assured that he could accomplish the task Matthew had assigned.
“Charlotte, you should go home now. It’s late, and you have classes tomorrow.”
The girl, who was still singing, pouted before responding, “Luke, Mom asks me to watch over you in case you’re
screwing around outside. If Grandpa receives word of this, you’re doomed!”
Charlotte Johnson, Leonard’ younger sister, refused to leave.
Despite that, Leonard summoned people in. Soon, two men in black, who appeared to be the Johnson family’s
bodyguards, came in.

One of the bodyguards turned to Charlotte and stated, “This way, Ms. Johnson.”
Displeased, Charlotte yelled, “Luke!”
Leonard pushed and urged her, “Leave now. I can’t enjoy my time if you’re here.”
He could not flirt with the other females if Charlotte stayed beside him. Hence, he had not had the chance to talk to
other women these few days, even though he went out frequently.
Charlotte eyed Elizabeth and recalled that she had seen the latter before.
Don’t tell me Luke likes her?
Lingering her gaze on Elizabeth a little longer, Charlotte took her leave.
Matthew sat on a couch not far away from them. He only had a black shirt covering his body after taking off his
coat. Placing his arm casually on the armrest, he held a cigar between his fingers and took several puffs.
Some people came and gave him a toast, but he remained icy. Taking a sip of the wine, he stared at Elizabeth with
raised eyebrows.
Later, Nicolas went beside him and took a seat. Looking at Matthew’s indolent expression, the former asked, “Do
you want her, Matt?”
