Chapter 76
Upon hearing the name "Rachel Carter", Jared looked troubled.
Rachel was the head of the company, and her family ran the business. Naturally, she took priority when she needed a car.
Similarly, Tyler's menacing grin immediately froze. He blankly stared at Matthew in disbelief. "No way this is true."
Matthew pulled out his phone. "How about I give her a call and tell her to put her matters aside for now? Then, I'll drive you instead. Sounds good?"
Tyler's expression changed drastically out of shock. "Stop! Don't call her! That's not necessary. You go ahead and drive her. I can drive there on my own."
Matthew said coldly, "Oh, you're driving now? I didn't know you were capable of doing something by yourself for once!"
Tyler's face fell, but he still had to give Matthew a proper answer. He squeaked, "Sorry, I didn't mean what I said. Can you please keep this from Ms. Carter?" Matthew snapped in frustration, "Get lost! I don't have time for your stupid problems!"
Tyler's expression darkened, but he kept quiet. He was worried that Matthew would exaggerate things to Rachel.
Upon realizing all the security guards and cleaners were watching him, Tyler felt utterly embarrassed. He didn't say a word and quickly left.
Having witnessed the scene, Jared turned around and left as well.
The staff room buzzed with excitement as everyone began cheerfully discussing Tyler's incident after he left.
"Tyler is such a jerk. Last time, he dropped his cup and made me clean it up. He even yelled at me as though it was my fault."
"When he was backing into a parking spot previously, I shouted 'stop', and he got mad at me for yelling. Then, he backed into another car and blamed me for not shouting loud enough. That month, he cut my pay by a thousand dollars!" "He's a pain in the ass, always making a fuss over the smallest details."
Zachary looked at Matthew in concern. "You're in trouble. Even though you managed to use Ms. Carter as an excuse this time, what will you do when this happens again? Tyler's not going to let this slide."
QUMS
Matthew smiled and replied, "I'll just deal with Tyler by using Ms. Carter as a shield again."
Zachary felt uneasy when he noticed how nonchalant Matthew was about the whole thing. "What if Ms. Carter doesn't plan on having you drive her around again? Won't that blow your cover?" Matthew smirked. "Didn't I tell you? Rachel is my girlfriend, so I won't get caught."
Zachary felt frustrated. "I'm worried for you, yet you're sitting here joking around. Ms. Carter is out of your league. She's pretty, rich, and capable. Stop your delusions."
Matthew was previously concerned that Zachary would joke about Rachel, so he decided to tell Zachary about their relationship.
Since Zachary didn't believe him, Matthew brushed off the matter. "Don't worry about it. It's easy to handle Tyler. Next time, I'll just say Ms. Carter needs a chauffeur again. It may not be true, but it's effective in scaring Tyler off."
Zachary was taken aback as he fixed his gaze on Matthew. "You were bluffing? Don't push your luck. If Tyler finds out about the truth, you'll lose your job." Matthew chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it. Tyler doesn't have the guts to speak to Ms. Carter about it. Everything will be fine."
Hidden in a corner, a security guard named Jeremy Ross overheard Matthew's words. He stood up and discreetly left the staff room. After finding himself a secluded spot, he gave Tyler a phone call.
Elsewhere, Tyler was storming away. The more he thought about Matthew, the angrier he became.
How could a lowly chauffeur use Ms. Carter against him? He felt utterly humiliated.
His anger flared up as he thought about it. "Just you wait, Matthew. I'll get you when Ms. Carter isn't around! Let's see who you'll hide behind next time!"
Tyler made his way to the basement parking lot. He didn't have any urgent work due today, so he decided to go drinking with his friends.
He was worried that he couldn't drive after drinking, so he had been looking for a chauffeur. Without one, he didn't feel like drinking anymore.
Tyler was about to head back when his phone rang. After glancing at the screen, he noticed it was a call from an unknown number. "Hello, this is Tyler Hill. Who's calling?"
