The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 82

Susan glared at Baldrick with disbelief and resentment, especially as he went over to Nancy and seemed to forget the rest of the world existed. Her eyes sparkled with anger and frustration. "Mr. Sandro, don't count your chickens before they hatch. Lena's Studio might be history after tonight!"

Nancy's gaze hardened a bit. "You talk a big game for someone who's still sore from losing too many times. Jealous much?"

"You... We'll see about that." Susan gritted her teeth in frustration and stormed off.

Once Susan had left, Baldrick said, "Nancy, do you know why Susan's acting all high and mighty?"

Nancy paused, sensing something, and looked sharply at Baldrick, "You know something, don't you?"

"I do." Baldrick's voice carried a hint of complexity, "Susan and Mathew have a special relationship."

Before he could finish, the crowd erupted into whispers.

"Mr. Mathew is here!"

"The man in charge of NY tonight has finally arrived. It's an honor to meet the manager, though NY's big boss Neil is absent."

Nancy's expression fell as she saw Susan throw herself into the arms of a middle-aged man enthusiastically.

Susan planted a fiery kiss on the man's cheek. "Mathew, everyone here is eager to see who will come out on top tonight."

Her emphasis on 'who' didn't go unnoticed by Mathew, who smirked knowingly, "Well, then you're in for a treat."

His gaze swept over Nancy and lingered when he saw her beauty, a mix of astonishment and greed in his eyes.

Being so close, Susan noticed and tugged at Mathew's hand, whispering something in his ear in a voice meant for their ears only.

After a moment, Mathew's face showed shock and surprise, "Really?"
