Chapter 08 I might love it or hate it


    "Why? Iseventhings


    gokay?" he asked, concret.


    "There''s something need to talk about," ire replied, her tone serious.


    Understanding the urgency in her voice, Matthew quickly agreed. "Alright, I''ll be there in fifteen minutes


    True to his woul, Matthew arrived at ire''s office fifteen minutester. His eyebrows scrunched incuriosity as he entered. "What"


    "What''s going on, ire? Why the


    ire motioned for him to sit down. "I need someone wise riglu now, Matthew," she said, her eyes meeting his.


    "I thought we established between the both of us, the wise one will be you." Matthew pointed his fingers at ire. She rolled her eyes and gave him a serious look. "Well, yes. But today is an exception." Mature looked confused, "What do you mean by that?"


    ire took a deep breath. "I''m about to make a decision I never thought I''d consider or even think about it."


    Matthew leaned forward, intrigued, and concemed. "What decision?*


    "I''m going to the Harris Company," catre said, her voice steady but determined.


    Matthew''s eyes widened in surprise. "You mean Harris, as in Alexander Harris Hotel?"


    ire nodded. "Yes."


    "The man that you hate?" He was still frowning, wondering if he had misheard ire''s words.


    She sighed. "Yes, the one and only."


    "Why?" Matthew asked, disbelief evident in his voice, "Is this about the HP thing?


    ire shook her head. "No, It''s not about them."


    Narrowing his eyes at ire, she looked away. "y, maybe this is about Hp but only a slight bit. The point is not about them." *Then what is it about Matthew pressed, lus frown deepening


    sighing heavily, ire looked at him with a mix of frustration and determination. "It''s about something else entirely,"


    "What do you mean?" Matthew asked, still not fully understanding


    "Earlier today, Roberte to my office," ire began, choosing her words carefully "Or rather, he barged in "


    Matthew''s eyes narrowed. "Why did he barge into your office? What did he want?"


    ire took a deep breath "He found out about our future project with HP, but then be also found out that HP decided to partner with Venus instead." Matthew frowned. "How did he know about that?"


    "He said he overheard it from my secretary when she was on the phone with the HP team although I''m not entirely convinced." ire exined. Matthew nodded slowly. "Okay, I get that. But what does that have to do with you going to the Harrispany?" ire hesitated, the memory of Robert''s words still stinging "Robert said something that really got to me


    Matthew leaned forward; his expression serious. "What did be say?"


    ire took a moment before answering "He said I threw away the opportunity to work with HP and that I''m the one who will cause Metacortex to fall to the ground"


    Matthew''s eyes widened in shock. "He actually said that to you?"


    "Yes," ire confirmed, her voice shaking slightly with anger. "It''s so frustrating because I''ve done everything I can to keep thispany afloat. And he says something like that. He should be grateful I still allow him to work here instead of firing him." Matthew shook his head in disbelief. "I should buy him a mirror so he can reflect his own failure, I can''t believe he''d say that. It''s not fair to me you for what happened. You''ve been working so hard these past few months."


    ire nodded, "Exactly! it really bugs me that he said that. It''s lilur he doesn''t see all the effort I put in every day."


    Matthew nodded slowly, the pieces clicking into ce "I think I get it now. You wanted to show him that you''re capable of leading Metacortex."


    ire smiled, relieved that Matthew finally understood. "Bingo. I want to prove to him and everyone else that I can do this."


    Matthew nodded. "You will, lee. I know you will. You''ve got the drive and the vision. Don''t let Robert''s words get to you."


    "I know but I got to do something about it. I just can''t sit and do nothing."


    "Are you sure it''s the right decision to work with Harris?" doubts creeping in Matthew as he doesn''t trust Alexander.


    ire sighed, her expression weary. "It''s the only way right now. We need a strong partner to make up for losing HP." "Are you going to propose a coboration to Alex?" Matthew asked, still wary ire chuckled lightly, shaking her head. "No, I won''t. That would be too direct,"


    Matthew raised an eyebrow. "So, what''s your n?"


    H


    ire looked a bit awkward, avoiding Matthew''s gaze. "I''m going to ask Alex about the project he proposed in the first ce. It was his idea, alter all." Chapter 981 might love it


    "An indirect approach, I see," Matthew said, understanding, however he was still curious. "But why you don''t want to admit that you need Harris help?" ire rolled her eyes, clearly not wanting to acknowledge her own reluctance. "Why would ask Alex for his help? III do that, he will reject it and his ego is as big as the Big Ben."Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    In truth beside that, ire pride is too big to ask for help especially from Alexherex-husband.


    He looked at ire seriously. "Are you sure you want to do this? There''s a big chance you might regret it."


    ire was silent for a moment, contemting his words. She then shrugged her shoulders. "I might either love it or hate it, but I won''t know unless 1 try,"


    "You really ate ready for this?" Matthew''s lips then cuded into a smirk, causing ire to frown. "Why are you smidding?" she asked, narrowing her eyes to him.


    "Well," Matthew began, clearly amused, "It means you''ll be working with your ex-husband."


    ire rolled her eyes. "Don''t ever say that out loud. It still feels weird to hear it."


    Matthew chuckled. "Okay, okay, just teasing you


    Despite her brave decision, ire felt a pang of uncertainty. Deep down, she wasn''t sure if she was ready to work with Alex again. Both of them were stubbom and hot-headed, making the idea of their coboration seem almost impossible to imagine. "What if Alex says no?" Matthew asked suddenly, breaking into her thoughts. "What if he rejects the idea of working with us?"


    "Hmm..why would you think he will reject us?


    Matthew shrugged nonchntly "who knows? I mean he hasn''t even contact you back fro weeks so maybe he is reconsidering it?"


    "I still hundred percent sore Alex is looking forward for this coboration especially involving his new hotel, so the chances are 70 to 30. However, if he did change


    his mind," ire smirked, a confident glint in her eye. "I have a backup n, Matthew. The gears in my brain are already tuming."


    Matthew raised an eyebrow. "Beally? What''s your backup n?"


    ire''s simile wadened. "I can''t reveal all my secrets just yet. But trust me, we won''t be left hanging."


    "Wow, seems like you really think this through, huh?


    ire shrugged. "Not really. It was ast timing thinking." Matthew stared at his friend and boss in disbelief as she stood up from her chair and grabbed her bag. "What are you doing?" "Out. We are heading to Harrispany."


    Matthew furrowed his brows. "Now?" "Yes, now, Matthew,!!
