Trapped In A Marriage I Never Wanted
Chapter 26: Unexpected Guest

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Unexpected Guest

Matthias was confused about Amber’s purpose in suddenly inviting Victoria even though they had just met yesterday. Was Amber’s purpose to apologize for the evil deeds that Anton had done to Victoria? For Matthias, Amber’s current actions were a little excessive even though it was just an apology. However, that didn’t mean he suspected his own best friend. Because he had trusted Amber since he lived in America.

"But why did you have to invite Victoria? Didn’t you just meet yesterday?"

"Just getting to know each other already makes me feel comfortable. Usually I’m not good at socializing with strangers. But seeing as Victoria’s personality is very good, I want to get to know her better."

"If you really want to be good friends with her, I won’t stop you. Besides, Victoria will definitely be happy to hear it too."

Amber walked around the CEO’s room gracefully while staring at the desk neatly arranged with documents. Actually, she was very jealous imagining the moment the couple was making out in this spacious room. If she had been Matthias’ girlfriend from the start, she would not have gone this far.

However, her eyes fell on a jewelry box placed on the desk. She wanted to take the box but had no right to because she was not Matthias’s lover.

"By the way, I would like some coffee. Can you call your secretary to make me some coffee?"

"Okay, I’ll call him first."

When Matthias left the room, Amber immediately carried out her secret mission. She opened the jewelry box which contained a scarlet heart necklace. She even went berserk when she stared at the necklace while taking pictures of it using her cellphone.

"Sometimes Matthias needs to be taught a lesson after he betrayed me secretly. How dare he want to give this necklace to Victoria!"

Amber immediately put the box back in its original place when Matthias re-entered the room. She walked slowly around the sofa while staring at the various award certificates displayed on the display shelf.

"By the way, my assistant will bring you coffee in about five minutes. Is that okay with you?"

"It’s okay. Besides, I still have a lot of free time. I just feel guilty for bothering you now."

"Actually, after this, I want to survey the project location with Victoria. But if there is something important you want to discuss with me, I will not stop you."

A sly smile appeared on her face. Amber sat next to Matthias at a fairly close distance. She actually had a hidden agenda now.

"By the way, I wonder why you are so interested in working with Victoria? Isn’t her studio only established in the last five years?"

"Although the studio is new, I already trust her because she is very creative in designing interior designs. Especially when she presented her proposal to me, I liked the way she introduced her unique design. That’s what made me want to work with her."

Amber nodded. "I see. Hearing you say that, I’m even more curious about what the interior design is like."

Suddenly Matthias’ assistant entered the room with Victoria. Matthias immediately got up from the sofa to greet his wife respectfully. However, his wife’s face looked gloomy. Was it because his wife was jealous again because she saw Amber also visiting now?

"Victoria, welcome!"

Victoria smiled kindly as she looked at Amber. "Did I come at a bad time? It seems like you’re busy discussing it with Amber."

"It’s okay. Besides, we’re done discussing. I’ve been waiting for you."

In fact, Amber was even more angry hearing Matthias’ words as if he wanted to expel her. She took a white sling bag and then walked closer to Victoria.

"By the way, I also wanted to talk to you, Victoria. I wanted to invite you to my welcoming ceremony as the CEO of Deluxe Group."

"But, aren’t we not that close?" Victoria replied politely. She actually knew the purpose of this invitation because it was impossible for her to be invited even though they had just met.

"Since you are a close friend of Matthias, that’s why I also wanted to invite you. Actually, I want to get to know you better."

Victoria pursed her lips for a few seconds as she glanced at her husband. "Okay, I will attend your welcoming ceremony."

"If you’ll excuse me, then."

Matthias rolled his eyes. "Speaking of which, isn’t there something else you wanted to discuss with me?"

"I just remembered, I have a meeting in about two hours. I have to prepare myself first."

As Amber hurriedly left the room, Victoria could only laugh in annoyance while staring at her husband. She was so fed up with her husband who kept pretending to be sweet in front of her when in fact he had always been making out with other women behind her back. She was sure that the conversation between Matthias and Amber was not just about work.

"I didn’t expect you to still use the golden opportunity to call Amber."

"Amber visited me today because she wanted to talk about the invitation to her welcoming event."

"Really? You could have discussed it over the phone. Why did she have to come to you in person?"

"Are you perhaps jealous now?"

Victoria rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Why would I be jealous! Besides, I am coming to you not as your wife, but as your business partner."

"Then, I want to go with you now." Matthias extended his right hand.

Of course, Victoria did not hold her husband’s hand that easily. She immediately pushed his hand away. "No touching! Don’t use this opportunity to approach me!"

"But, do you really want to come to the welcoming party? If you don’t want to, I won’t force you."

"Matthias, if someone invites me, of course I will not refuse their invitation."

Meanwhile, Amber is on her way back to her company. She drives a red sedan while calling her assistant on the phone.

"Celia, you have to help me find the scarlet heart necklace."

"But that necklace is no longer for sale."

"Anyway, you have to think of a way for me to wear the necklace! I don’t want Victoria to wear the necklace yet!"
