Chapter 44 Winning Over One’s Heart

I intentionally recounted my trip to Matthew without withholding a single detail when I

returned home. He beamed and praised me, “You’re a wise partner. You’re understanding

and skilled at winning people’s hearts.”

However, I corrected him. “It’s not about winning people’s hearts, but about being kind.

Speaking of Johnson, he’s done a lot for our family. It’s natural for a man like you not to

notice these things, but women appreciate small gestures.”

Truthfully, I aimed my actions at dispelling Matthew’s suspicions. I knew this sly fox would

become vigilant if I hid things from him, and he found out later, I had to break him down

without revealing my intentions.

With this excuse, I frequented the wives of those clients, laying the groundwork for my

future. To Matthew, I employed womanly tricks, which were nothing more than having

meals and doing our nails together.

Although I bustled, he thought it would amount to nothing. Still, he praised me a few

times, “This is good because everyone gets to know each other. I’m out there managing

while you’re the queen of the household.”

Naturally, Matthew enjoyed my role. Meanwhile, I planned to make him pay a hundred

fold.

During dinner that evening. I asked, “When will we get the money for the house?”

“Soon, once we finalize the payment for the Waterland Project,” He casually replied.

“Hurry up. I’m uneasy about the money not being in the account.” I voiced my concerns,

looking at Matthew, “Don’t take this lightly. I’ve been eyeing a couple of good houses

lately. Why do you seem so

indifferent about it?”

“Nonsense, how could I be? I said it before. The project investment is for a big payoff,” He

deflected.

I spoke confidently, “Making money is important, but so is Ava. Do you think I want to buy

a house just for myself? Won’t you live there too? Schooling is a big deal now that Ava’s

growing up. We can’t let her lag.

behind, can we?”

In short, I wouldn’t let him rest until that money was back where it belonged.

Since Johnson realized how quickly I could reach Myra, he became extra cautious and

attentive. He

would immediately respond whenever I called.

At that moment, some good news arrived. The bidding slots for the ATL Empire projects

were finalized,

This news shook Matthew, and Johnson reported the former’s reaction, Initially, Matthew

hadn’t taken it

seriously, so he handed it to me. Unexpectedly, a random occurrence had brought such

results.

Getting nominated meant one thing. Regardless of whether we ultimately secured the

contract, it was

evident that Tanum Corporation could register itself alongside big companies like ATL

Empire.

It established Tanum Corporation’s foundation in the city’s building materials industry to a

certain extent.

After much deliberation, the company decided that such a significant project required

Matthew’s direct

involvement.

As for the development company he had initially put all his effort into, they required

upfront investment. It gave Matthew a headache since financing inherently carried risks. It

was a grand scheme, and the final

reckoning could be pretty different, even with high profits.

I summed up the situation from the last briefing. The only way we could outshine two

other companies

and reach the final stage was if I had the upper hand in holiday products.

If Matthew took over, he probably wouldn’t fare well. Although I didn’t want to relinquish

control over this project, he was the ultimate decision–maker. Suddenly, an idea struck

me.

The coat. It seemed like I needed to reach out to Atlas again.
