Her body had been improved a lot by Aimee. Except that she needed to rest for a while to recover her strength, Matilda didn’t feel any other discomfort.
Matilda said, “Don’t scare yourself like that. I’m really fine.”
Miles was dubious about Matilda’s words.
He was afraid that Matilda didn’t want to have anything to do with him, so she didn’t say anything to him.
Matilda looked at Miles. For some reason, she could see a bit of loneliness in his eyes.
She immediately recalled what she did last night.
How did she call Miles after drinking? And what she said all echoed clearly in her mind.
Matilda’s expression froze instantly.
At this moment, how much she envied those people who would have blackout when they were drunk.
Now, she had a clearer memory than ever before.
Seeing the change in Matilda’s expression, Miles quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Matilda bit her lower lip and stared at Miles, wanting to make herself lose her memory, and forget about last night’s phone call.
However, she couldn’t convince herself, so how could she convince others?
Matilda swallowed and said, “Why are you here?”
Miles looked at Matilda and asked, “You don’t remember?”
Matilda hesitated for a second, ready to pretend to have amnesia, and get some information from him.
“I drank too much,” she said.
She was assured.
Miles said, “Then you called me. Do you remember?”
Matilda wanted to shake her head very much, but she knew that it can’t be all fake. It needed to be half true and half false, so that she can fool him.
She said, “I may have pressed the wrong button. Did I say anything?”
“You really don’t remember?” Miles kept his gaze firmly on Matilda’s face, observing her expression.
Matilda wanted to beat him very much.
Can’t this guy answer her question honestly?
Miles said, “It’s okay. I have a recording if you forgot.”
That was way too excessive!
What kind of devil was this man?
Miles saw Matilda looking at him with a look that wanted to kill him, he knew that she had misunderstood him.
He said, “Don’t think too much. I don’t want to record, but my mobile phone has an automatic recording function, and every call will be automatically recorded.”
It was a kind of protection for him. After all, in this position, he should be cautious in words and deeds.
Matilda was not surprised when she heard that.
She also had this function on her own mobile phone, but she just didn’t remember it for a while.
Matilda said, “Can you forget what I said?”
She had never been so ashamed before. For some reason, it seemed that Matilda felt even more humiliated because this person was Miles.
With Matilda’s voice, Miles could hear effeminacy in her tone, which made him feel particularly good.
Relaxed, Miles’s tone lightened.
He raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, “If I refuse, what will you do?”
Matilda just felt quite speechless about Miles’ question.
She said, “We’re good friends. You don’t want to treat me badly, do you?”
It was really embarrassing.
Miles said, “What if I want to?”
Matilda choked, met Miles’ gaze, and saw a different kind of deep meaning in his eyes.
Inexplicably, Matilda had a sense of danger.
“Miles, I’m not feeling well now,” she said.
As Matilda said this, Miles immediately panicked again, and quickly asked, “What’s the matter? I’d better call Aimee over to see you.”
Matilda raised her brows and eyes unconsciously.
Her fingers reached out silently and hooked Miles’.
Matilda said, “Miles, don’t you really like me?”
Miles’ body froze. His gaze fell on Matilda’s finger that hooked his.
He said, “Yeah, I like you very much.”
Miles spoke frankly, without any concealment.
He raised his eyes to meet Matilda’s gaze, not pretending to be affectionate, but telling Matilda in the most straightforward way what he was thinking in his heart.
Matilda frowned and said, “What I said to you on the phone is serious.”
She didn’t want him to like her. She was serious.
She didn’t trust men, and she was serious too.
Miles’ expression didn’t change much, but his voice became a little serious.
He said, “I know, so I will not force you, nor will I pester you, but I can’t control the fact that I like you.
This is my own business. I can promise you that if you think it burdens you, I will not bother you. We are just like the relationship between an ordinary boss and an employee. There is no need to develop other things. I will give you the acting opportunity you deserve.”
“Will you still side with me?” Matilda asked.
Matilda asked this directly without thinking twice.
The moment she finished speaking, Matilda wanted to slap herself very much.
How much bitchy was she to say such a thing?
Shameless to the extreme.
But it was caused by Miles’ preference for her all the time.
It had to be said that Miles really gave her many privileges.
If it happened to other employees who didn’t bring any benefits to the company, but still wanted privileges, that would be nothing but nonsense.
However, Matilda had all these things that others didn’t have.
Miles was a bit of surprised that Matilda asked such a question.
He was already ready that, after Matilda told him this, the next step was to distance her from him.
However, she asked such a question, which made Miles inexplicably happier.
He looked at Matilda with tenderness in his eyes.
He said, “Yes.”
Everything will be as usual. Nothing will change.
If there were any opportunities that were beneficial to Matilda, he will still give her priority without any scruples.
However, he didn’t want to change Matilda’s opinion of him because of this, or hope that she would fall in love with him because of this.
He suppressed his emotions.
Matilda understood what Miles thought, and for a moment, she only felt her heart throbbing.
After a long silence, Matilda said, “Will you never hurt me? Don’t beat me, insult me, or force me.”
Matilda’s voice trailed off. Her eyelashes drooped like a wounded animal’s.
At this moment, she was not the current Matilda at all, but the seven-year-old Matilda, without any ability to resist, not even daring to cry, and can only watch those cruel scenes happen before her eyes.
Miles was taken aback by how vulnerable she looked.
He took Matilda’s hand and held it firmly in his palm.
“I won’t. Never,” Miles said.
Matilda seemed to have returned to the past and fell into the most vulnerable period.
Her whole body was icy cold, without any warmth.
Miles wrapped her palms tightly, as if conveying a warm current into her body, and gradually pulling
Matilda back.
Matilda raised her eyes again and looked towards Miles.
