Chapter 21: Facing New Enemy
Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Facing New Enemy
Is this called revenge and the law of karma? Witnessing this unexpected scene made Victoria startled and angry at the same time. She doesn’t know why she wanted to vent her tears because her chest now felt tight. Although up to this moment she still hated Matthias, why did her heart hurt as if she had been pierced by a spear many times? She really hates Matthias who always hurts her heart in every way. At first Matthias forced her to marry her by giving a marriage certificate. Now Matthias himself betrayed her secretly.
Had Matthias actually been dating another woman without her knowledge? If Matthias was really playing with the hearts of two women, Victoria would have considered Matthias the most asshole she had ever met.
She was so sick of watching it for a long time. She slowly moved her legs back tremblingly so that her body almost fell. As a result, her presence was noticed by Matthias and the guest.
"Looks like you have a guest too, Matthias," Amber said in a high-pitched voice.
Matthias immediately released the hug and turned around to look at his beloved wife who was hiding behind the wall. His wife’s gloomy expression while hiding, it was certain that now his wife was jealous because he was suddenly hugged by another woman. However, he did not want his wife to hate him even more because of this. He took the initiative to approach his wife who kept avoiding his gaze.
"Victoria."
Victoria smiled warmly and presented herself confidently, proving that she did not mind the current situation. "So you have other guests too, Matthias. It seems I disturbed you at an inappropriate time."
"Victoria, I–"
Amber also approached her enemy with a sly smile and extended her right hand. "It is an honor to meet Matthias’ lover."
Victoria shook her head quickly. "I’m not his girlfriend."
His heart felt like it was struck by a powerful lightning bolt when he heard his wife’s words that seemed too simple, but actually hurt him. Even though he really hoped his wife would correct this misunderstanding, it was the opposite. His wife made the problem bigger and made him start to get angry.
"If you’re not his girlfriend, what are you doing visiting Matthias so early in the morning?" Amber asked again.
"Matthias and I are just business partners and friends." Victoria extended her right hand. "My studio and his company are currently collaborating. I hope you don’t misunderstand me."
"Really? Then we can be friends from now on." Amber shook hands with her enemy. "My name is Amber."
"I’m Victoria." Victoria replied with a friendly smile, actually she was very annoyed facing this cunning woman. However, she was forced to act because she didn’t want their relationship to be known to everyone.
Matthias hated the current situation even more. He actually wanted to kick Amber out, but it was impossible for him to treat his best friend like an enemy. On the one hand, he was worried that his wife would be jealous and angry, making him hate him even more.
Moreover, Amber’s hand was now holding his hand too tightly, making her even more uncomfortable. She slowly released her grip while leading her best friend to walk towards the living room.
"By the way, would you like some coffee?"
Amber once again showed a flirtatious smile, adding to the burning jealousy in Victoria’s body. "It turns out you are still very sensitive. I thought you forgot about my habits."
"I can’t possibly forget it because I remember you used to beg me for coffee." Matthias stared at his wife with an intense gaze. "I think it’s normal for everyone. Including Victoria who likes coffee in the morning."
"Is that so, Victoria?" Amber crossed her legs haughtily.
"Yes, I also like drinking coffee." Somehow Victoria found it very easy to respond by lying. Even though it was clear that she did not like drinking coffee in the morning. She preferred drinking milk.
Matthias felt even more guilty in his heart because he had to use this method so that they could get out of this awkward situation. Even though he knew very well that his wife didn’t like drinking coffee and preferred milk. After this, he wanted to clear up all the misunderstandings before his wife hated him even more.
Matthias made coffee for the uninvited guest in a short time. He served black coffee to his best friend, then chose to sit next to his wife.
"Matthias, I heard that my brother caused trouble that made you angry."
"Yes, he has been plagiarizing all this time and even cheated when competing with Victoria." A rough breath escaped his lips. "But that doesn’t mean I hate you."
"If you hate me, I don’t mind."
"If I hate you, it means I’m unprofessional. Moreover, you’ve helped me a lot all this time."
Amber looked at her enemy with a sneer. "But now you also have Victoria to help you."
Victoria lowered her head as she touched her coffee cup. "You are more qualified to help Matthias in many ways, Amber. Matthias and I just met."
"I hope that our friendship will grow stronger. If I were to guess, I think we will be communicating like this more often."
However, Victoria did not have much hope that they could be good friends. She was very sure that Amber would bring her down in every way in the future in order to win Matthias’ heart. Although she did not want this marriage at first, since Amber suddenly appeared in their lives, she felt a little reluctant if Matthias married another woman.
Fortunately, this conversation did not last long. Victoria immediately ran into the guest room and locked herself in the room. She wanted to vent her nervousness in dealing with the cunning woman as if she wanted to finish her off all along. If Amber was really an evil woman just because of love affairs, she would let Matthias go rather than have her life disturbed continuously. However, would Matthias agree to it?
When Matthias entered her room, Victoria had a blank expression rather than being thought to be jealous because of this situation.
"Victoria, are you angry?" Matthias asked with a sad look.
"No. Why would I be angry! You are more suited to marry Amber than me! You are even sensitive and remember the things she likes!"
