Chapter 563 - Morning Surprise

The next day…

"Madam, these are the profiles of the candidates that passed the screening." Butler Yi handed Vivian a folder as he caught up to her.

Vivian accepted them without stopping in her steps. "Good. I heard the Young Master's car is already here."

"Yes. Our men confirmed that it's the Young Master's. It seemed that he had worked all night again." Butler Yi bowed his head slightly as a sigh slipped past his lips.

Everyone was well-aware how workaholic Matthew was. He would stay up all night and attend all his meetings the entire day without sleeping a blink. The reason Vivian had taken extreme measures so her son could have time to rest.

She couldn't lose her son from overexerting himself. Especially, when Matthew fainted weeks ago from over fatigue. Vivian and Butler Yi were worried and hearing Matthew was already in the office early in the morning, they could only assume he worked all night again.

Matthew did work all night… but it was entirely different from what they were thinking.

Soon, Vivian reached the floor where Matthew's office was at. There were already employees around, earlier than everyone as they bowed their heads in presence of the queen.

"Where's Assistant Qian? I don't see him around." Vivian asked as she scanned the floor and didn't see even Paul's shadow.

"He hasn't arrived yet, Madam Xi." One of the employees working under Matthew rushed to follow Vivian's steps since Paul hadn't arrived. Thus, he had to follow the chairwoman of the company so he could announce her visit to Matthew.

"Oh?" Vivian arched her right brow but didn't pause in her tracks. It was weird of Paul if Matthew was already in here.

Yet, she could only assume that Paul was running an errand for Matthew. After all, Matthew never let anyone drive his car that was in his collections. That's why Vivian was certain that Matthew had already arrived.

He's alone? A lot of questions were raised in her head but Vivian didn't dwell on them. She needed to meet her son immediately.

Not long after, Vivian reached Matthew's office. The employee prompted to announce her visit, but before he could do so, Vivian already busted inside without a word.

"Xi Matthew! How many times do I have to tell you you can't work…" As soon as Vivian busted inside, her loud voice echoed across each corner of the office.

However, her sentence trailed off seeing no Matthew on the desk. Slowly, her eyes moved around and saw the figures on the couch. 

Her eyes widened; everyone else had the same aghast expression. They counted the number of heads that were on the couch -- they were two people! One was on the bottom while the other was laying on top.

There was only a blazer suit covering the woman on top of the man. Her fair, long legs and a bit of her shoulders were exposed. The black blazer suit only covered her beck and barely her buttocks.

The intruder of the office that was led by Vivian stood frozen at the sight of the office. Even a grade schooler could guess what happened in here: two adults inside the office naked, they wouldn't just stare at each other all night, right?

"Mhmm…" Zoey moved as she slowly opened her eyes at the sudden noise that woke her up. 

She felt Matthew's hand that was on her back -- underneath the blazer suit -- caress her as he slowly opened his eyes. His brows, however, already furrowed as he didn't like the sudden noise assaulting his beautiful dream that woke him.

"Darling." Zoey, unaware of the stupefied people staring at them smiled, savoring Matthew's warmth as she rested her head on his chest. 

Meanwhile, Matthew caressed her back but he already sensed the eyes staring at them. He tilted his head back, seeing his mother and a few people standing at the door upside down.

Yet, despite seeing that they had an audience, Matthew remained calm. "Get out."

He coldly ordered, snapping everyone back to reality. Upon hearing him, Zoey opened her eyes once again and frowned. 

She raised her head to him, thinking he was talking to her. However, she caught figures on the corner of her eyes which her gaze followed.

The instant she laid her eyes on Vivian's figure, Zoey's eyes widened as she froze in an instant. Zoey just then realized that she's naked and the only thing that's protecting the private area of her body was a mere blazer!

"Oh my gosh…!" Vivian's knees weakened. The sight before her… how scandalous!

Butler Yi and a couple of employees working for the Madam and a few under Matthew had the same expression. At first, they thought that someone had intruded in the CEO's office and used it as they pleased.

However, hearing Matthew's voice, there was no doubt that it was the big boss! He was with a woman -- naked and sleeping together! 

Just what was going on?!

"I recommend that everyone leaves before you see my woman's body." Still seeing everyone upside down, Matthew warned as he wouldn't forgive another man having the pleasure of seeing Zoey's body.

It was only for him to see. Thus, despite his mother's presence, this was his top priority.

Upon hearing Matthew's last remarks, everyone snapped back to reality and bowed. Without a word, they left the room, not daring to glance at Zoey who was squeezing herself into Matthew's body.

Although it was unprecedented, they knew deep down that Matthew wasn't joking. He was infamous for not getting on his bad side. Even if they worked for him for years, they could lose what they had worked for just by laying their eyes on his woman.

When everyone left, they closed the door leaving Vivian still standing in her spot. Matthew then brushed Zoey's head lovingly, gazing down to her.

"They left." He said with a reassuring smile on his lips. 

Matthew then assisted himself up along with Zoey, his unclad top covering her bare front as he secured the blazer suit around her. When they were both sitting, Matthew buttoned a few buttons while she slid her hands on the sleeve.

"Xi Matthew, what's the meaning of this?!" As Matthew languidly secured Zoey's body, Vivian's voice thundered that even the employees outside were startled.
