My face and hands were almost numb from the cold . Chapter326 I don't know how long I walked , and finally arrived at the pharmacy . The shop owner looked at me in surprise , then quickly poured me a cup of hot water . " It's cold outside , why are you still wearing slippers ? " I held the paper cup . feeling the warmth seeping through my palm , and my hand finally regained some sensation . I rubbed my almost frozen face and smiled at him , saying , " I rushed out and forgot to change .

" I paused and said to him , " Help me get two boxes of painkillers . " " Ah . okay . " The shop owner quickly handed me two boxes of painkillers , packed in a bag . I paid the money and was about to leave . He suddenly shouted at me , " It's snowing outside , why don't you wait until the snow stops before you leave ? There's heating in my shop . " " No , thank you , " I smiled at him and said calmly , " Someone is waiting for me to deliver the medicine back in a hurry .

" I said , and then I walked outside . The boss's voice murmured from behind : " Even if you are in a hurry , I can't let you come over in the middle of the night in the wind and snow to buy medicine , right? " Chapter325 Yeah , just hang in there , and this night will soon e over . But Reynaldo was anxious , he couldn't bear to see Kimberly suffer for another minute .

I tightened my down jacket even more and walked towards the hotel with my head buried . Suddenly , a black luxury car stopped beside me . I slowly raised my eyes and looked out . The car window rolled down , revealing Matthew's mischievous and sinister face . I stared blankly into his dark eyes , with no reaction at all . It's not that I didn't want to react , but I felt like the whole me had been blown silly by the cold wind , my head was numb .

Matthew smiled at me and said , " Hey , how come Mr. Humphrey's secretary is walking alone on the street , and … looking so disheveled ? " His playful gaze ran from top to bottom on nie , lingering for a few seconds on my slippers . I said quietly , " Buy medicine . " After saying that , I continued walking forward . Suddenly , he got off the car and stood in front of me with a few big steps .

" 24D Didn't Johnathan go to Seabed Club with Matthew ? And wasn't Reynaldo saying that Johnathan was drunk as a skunk ? But why does Matthew seem completely sober . Matthew had one hand in his pocket , the other holding a cigarette , looking at me with a playful expression on his face .

The cold wind was whistling in my ears , and I was so cold that I couldn't stand it . I said to him , " Mr. Galatea , I have something to do , so I'll go back first . Next time , I'll invite you for a drink . " After saying that , I walked towards his side . He suddenly took a deliberate step to the side and blocked me again . " Mr. Galatea ? " I furrowed my brow even more , feeling a bit annoyed . Matthew blew a smoke ring , his gaze sweeping over my slippers , finally landing on my neck .

He smirked at me and said , " Ms. Duffy , did you do half of it with Mr. Humphrey and then run out ? " Wow , is Mr. Humphrey really that bad ? He had such a gentle and kind demeanor , yet he still had the heart to kick you out .
