Miguel ground his teeth together in indignation,

While Miguel was ranting, Mathews grabbed a pair of dumbbells and waited for the other man to finish talking before questioning, “Are you done?

“You put the call on speaker and your phone on the table again, didn't you?"

Not wanting to face the other man's wrath, Mathews said, "I've heard everything you said."

“You'd better behave yourself from now on, then. Do you know how hard it is to work for you at my age? Stop making me clean up your mess in the middle of the night!"

Sometimes, Miguel wished that Mathews was a playboy who changed his girlfriends every day rather than a devoted man who fell in love with someone's wife.

At least, those girls could be settled monetarily, unlike the situation with Claudia. She was Bennett's wife for God's sake! That man could ruin Mathews' career for good.

Miguel had been Mathews' agent since the boy was only eighteen, and the two had already been through thick and thin together, During the course of the past twelve years, they had grown to respect and love one another like family.

That was why Miguel did not want anything bad to happen to Mathews or his job.

"You're overreacting. I just want to guest on the same show with her. Mathews merely wanted to confirm whether or not Claudia's relationship with Bennett was true,

The netizens made it seem like they were the main characters in a soap opera.

Those people did not know Bennett. Mathews, on the other hand, had been in the entertainment industry for years, He was well aware of the manipulative nature of capitalists.

The timing of Claudia and Bennett's marriage seemed too convenient to be true. It happened a mere month after she and Anthony called off their engagement. Not to mention, she mostly stayed in the hospital the entire month before she married Bennett.

They tied the knot way too fast, It was suspicious.

Miguel's anger was further fueled by Mathew's words.

“Am I overreacting? Don't you know how observant the viewers are? If you are to appear on the same show as her, do you really think you have enough acting skills to fool the viewers into thinking that you don't have a thing for her? You're a singer, Mathews, not an acto

Also, have you ever thought about how this would make her feel? She's Mrs. Dreskin, whether you like it or not! She is someone else's wife! If some rumors about you and her spread online and reach the Dreskin family, what do you think they will do to her?"

Miguel had said a lot, but it was only the very last sentence that caught Mathews's attention,

"I understand now. Don't worry; it won't happen again. Bye." Without waiting for Miguel to respond, Mathews abruptly ended the call.

Silence engulfed the spacious room in an instant. Mathews got up, grabbed a pack of cigarettes, and went out onto the balcony. He pulled out one cigarette, lit it, and took a drag on it,

He could not help but wonder why he was always a step late as he stared off into the horizon.

Claudia and Aurora agreed to visit the popular restaurant that they talked about on Saturday. However, she did not realize she had not told Bennett about it until Friday night arrived.

When she remembered, Claudia immediately sat up straight on the bed. Shortly after, Bennett came out of the bathroom,

Claudia glanced at him, and for a moment, she was distracted by his freshly showered hair.
