NovelEnglishLucy was relieved to hear Matthew's words, so she smiled sweetly. "Okay, I'll be waiting for you." Then, she tidied herself up and went downstairs to wait for Matthew to pick her up.
After Matthew hung up, he glared at the director beside him menacingly.
"Who gave you permission to interruptwhile I was on the phone?" The director shivered and looked down. "I'm sorry, Mr. Leon, but the meeting later is really important. It's about the next charity auction, so..." The director's voice got smaller and smaller under Matthew's chilling gaze.
