It was 10:00 pm at night.
After Matthew finished up his work, he went into the room and sighed when he noticed the empty king–sized bed.
He walked in to get his pajamas before taking a shower.
When he lay on the bed, he could not sleep at all.
Hence, he got up and went to the next room.
After gently opening the door, a smile graced his face.
His wife was completely unsuspecting.
He climbed into her bed and noticed that Lucy did not react at all. After making sure that she was deep asleep, Matthew lay down and held her in his arms.
The unfamiliar smell made Lucy squirm, igniting a fire inside of him.
Then, Lucy found herself in a comfortable position with her arms wrapped around him. She stuck to him closely like an octopus.
Matthew started to regret his decision. What was he thinking when he came into Lucy’s room? He could forget about sleeping tonight!
He resisted his burning desire and the urge to get on top of her. He just stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open the entire night.
It was Friday, and Lucy had to go to work.
Although she was the owner of the company, she still had to go.
Lucy was relieved when she did not see Matthew downstairs. She still

could not bring herself to face him.
“Mrs. Leon, Mr. Leon said that he has to go to work, but you can sleep in.” Cece was wiping the table when she heard footsteps coming
down, and she turned to look at Lucy with a smile.
Nodding, Lucy said, “I need to go to work too. Cece.”
She walked to the entrance and changed into a pair of high heels.
She was wearing a gray suit today, which made her look much more professional and less dull.
Cece was stunned for a moment before saying, “Have some
breakfast before you go, Mrs. Leon.”
However, Lucy waved her hand and left with her bag.
Her minicar was still parked at the Quinn family’s garage, so she had to take the subway today.
An hour later, Lucy finally arrived at Lulu Comics.
She took a deep breath and frowned when she saw a few empty desks in the office.
Lulu Comics was founded after she returned to the country last year.
At that time, she refused to work at her father’s company because she wanted to stay away from her two–faced sister and her biased father.
When she first started the company, Luna mocked her, saying that she was no good at business and that the company would tank within a month.
To be frank, the company was not far from bankruptcy.
For the past year, she had been putting all her energy into Timothy’s fashion show.

Thinking about it now, Lucy felt that it was ridiculous. How could she ignore her company and work for that asshole for a whole year?
How ironic! Now, she was determined to give her all to her company. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Just as she was about to enter her office, the door swung open. It was her secretary–Amy Young.
Amy handed her some documents with a sigh. “Ms. Lucy, these are the resignation letters from Joan Bleu and the others.”
Lucy took the letters and gave Amy a bitter smile. “They’ve really left.” “Ms. Lucy, you have to do something about the company. Without any good comics, our company is going to collapse. Joan and the others were poached by Quinn Studios.”
Lucy was surprised.
Quinn Studios was established a month after she started her
company, and the founder of Quinn Studios was her good–for–nothing sister, Luna.
Hah! Poaching employees?
Luna may have done a good job, but Lucy was not backing down this time.
