Chapter 289 Mr. Lloyd You’re So Fair-minded
“What do you want to do?” The situation could no longer be
reversed, so she could only remedy it.
Grace’s voice was very sad. “What can I do? In the adult world,
you can’t blame anyone if you’re willing. Just accept it.”
Hearing her words, Evelyn couldn’t bear to continue to blame
her. She didn’t know what had happened between them, but
she still blamed Matt. After all, Grace had drunk too much last
night. As a rational and responsible man, he shouldn’t take advantage of her.
After hanging up the phone, Evelyn hesitated for a moment before taking the elevator to Matt’s office.
His office was just next to Huston’s, separated by only one room. She knocked on the door, secretly
relieved that she
didn’t encounter Huston. However, as soon as the door
opened, she saw them sitting on the central guest sofa.
Evelyn stopped in her tracks. If it weren’t for his secretary, she

Obviously, Huston didn’t expect to see her in Matt’s office. His dark eyes rippled slightly, but he soon
suppressed them, and he looked away.
The time he spent on her did not exceed three seconds.
Evelyn was about to leave, but she suddenly changed her mind after being provoked by his reaction.
He didn’t care about it, so why should she leave?
When Matt saw Evelyn walking over, he thought she was looking for Huston. “Do you have something
to talk to each
other about? Do you want me to leave first?”
Unexpectedly, Evelyn got straight to the point and said, “I’m here for you, Mr. Harrison.”
“For me?” Matt glanced at Huston with a cold face out of the
corner of his eye and asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”
Evelyn took a deep breath. “About my friend, I want to talk to you alone.”
She emphasized the word ‘alone’ for fear that Huston would
not understand the meaning behind her words.
When Matt heard this, he remembered that last night, he and
Grace…
“It’s working time. Let’s talk about it after work.” Before they could talk more, a cold voice interrupted
them.
After that, Evelyn gritted her teeth and couldn’t help but
retort, “Mr. Lloyd, how do you know it’s personal? What if it’s
work-related?”
“You also can’t talk about business here.” Huston put down the folder in his hand and looked at her with
a bit of judgment.
“This is a cross-level report.”
A cross-level report.
When Evelyn heard those words, she sneered, “Mr. Lloyd,
you’re so fair-minded.”
Huston didn’t say a word. His long legs were crossed together
as he sat there. Despite being shorter than her, he exuded a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsense of looking down on her, making Evelyn feel small in his
presence.
Upon seeing the tense atmosphere, Matt immediately defused the situation, saying, “Evelyn, just speak
your mind. Huston is not a stranger, and you don’t have to call me Mr. Harrison. Just treat me like
usual.”
If it were any other matter, she wouldn’t have said it at this time. But it was related to Grace, so she
didn’t want to delay it
at all.
“Matt, what happened between you and Grace
“Nothing, it’s just what she told you.” Matt’s attitude was much more straightforward than she had
imagined.
Evelyn bit her lip and then loosened it. She asked hesitantly,
“Do you like Grace or…it was just an accident?”
“An accident.” Matt blurted out without any hesitation, breaking the last unrealistic fantasy.
His rational and calm expression seemed to be saying that everything that happened last night was just
an impulse and had nothing to do with love.
