Sparing Clarissa, the others were stumped by Jeremy’s odd remarks.

Her face flushed with bright pink as she recalled something.

Bewildered at the unwarranted teasing, Clarissa shot Matthew a glance. The latter said nothing. However, his deep-set gaze glinted briefly.

Matthew’s tone was not at all stern, but he was essentially telling Jeremy off.

The latter knew better than to continue blabbering and steered the conversation as he talked business with Matthew.

Clarissa had been uptight throughout the whole exchange, forming a stark contrast against Matthew’s relaxed manner. He had a cigarette in one hand, and a spoon in the other, nonchalantly picking on his food.

She had her eyes on a particularly savory dish. However, it was not long before the dish was whisked away from her sight. Dejected, she put down her utensils and sipped on her drink.

Someone seemed to have caught onto her disappointed look and passed the dish back to her. Her eyes lit up at the dish and hurriedly picked on the food.

Matthew puffed on his cigarette, his lips curving into a smile, amused at Clarissa’s demeanor.
