Chapter 423
Lucy was surprised to see that the owner of this hand was none other than her newly made friend, Truman.
Matthew's expression instantly soured. What was Truman trying to do, standing between him and Lucy? Matthew was starting to get annoyed. He was already displeased when he saw him hovering around Lucy earlier.
Anyone with common sense would know better than to disturb them, but Truman seemed to have no fear at all and was unable to sense Matthew's displeasure.
"Do you need anything?"
Hearing Matthew's unfriendly tone, Lucy pinched his arm. Matthew simply gave Truman a warning look.
Truman smiled. "Mr. Leon, I remember that you spilled juice on yourself over there. I just wanted to remind you that the stain on your clothes will surely attract a lot of attention if you dance with Lucy later.
"Some may even turn it into a scandal. Why don't I step in and save the day?"
"Save the day? How so?"
Matthew already knew that Truman's next words were not well-intentioned, but he still listened.
Truman's smile was as gentle as ever, but it seemed to be hiding something. "I just think that you should go change your clothes. In the meantime, I'll take your place..."
Truman had not even finished speaking when Matthew swiftly pulled Lucy behind him.
"Take my place? I should be the one to dance with my wife. I don't need anyone to step in."
He stood by Lucy protectively. How dare Truman butt in like that? Lucy did not hear about Matthew's little mishap, so she asked, "Why didn't you tell me you stained your clothes?"
Having juice stains on his clothes would be sticky and uncomfortable. At this moment, Lucy noticed that a large chunk of his suit was damp Matthew wore a grayish suit today, which would only make the damp parts more obvious under the lights.
If he were to rush onto stage like this and got photographed, it would not be a good look.
"Why didn't you change earlier?"
Matthew remained silent, but he was
obviously blaming Truman in his mind. If he had not spotted Truman chatting away with Lucy so happily just now, he would have taken the time out to change his clothes.
It was all because of Truman that he had to delay changing his clothes.
"Go change. It's not nice to wear something sticky."
Fortunately, they were in the royal palace, so there should be some suits available.
However, Matthew stubbornly refused. Lucy could not understand what was wrong with him.
"Matt, what's wrong with changing your clothes?"
Was he really going to act like a

child? As the CEO of the prestigious Leon Corporation, wearing a dirty suit would tarnish his and his company's image. Matthew was well aware of that, so why was he
being so stubborn? This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Matthew held onto Lucy's hand tightly, and his words implied a warning to Truman. "Wifey, I'll go change after we finish this dance."
Did Truman think he could dance with Lucy by making him leave to change his clothes? In his dreams!
Before Lucy could react, Matthew dragged her onto the dance floor. The music just happened to begin playing. Truman was left speechless in the alternating light and darkness.
