Chapter 46 The Assistant Seems Arrogant
+15 BONUS
My heart skipped a beat when I saw Atlas‘ cold eyes again. Our last encounter was still
fresh in my mind.
My hysterical behavior that night probably left a big impression on him. Now, I was
pretending to be affectionate with Matthew, and it felt embarrassing.
I instinctively removed my hand from Matthew’s arm and smiled at Atlas. Nick
approached, and a crowd gathered around him to chat and get his attention. Matthew was
among them.
I observed them coldly. Indeed, they were “sincere.” Atlas briefly glanced at Matthew. I
was sure there was a hint of disdain in his gaze.
Nick didn’t introduce Atlas, and Atlas didn’t seem interested in meeting anyone. Instead,
he stood beside me and said, “Ms. Hartz. Oh, maybe I should address you as Mrs.
Murphy?”

“Hmm.” He sipped his drink and asked, “Seems like you’re in a good mood?
“Life must go on. As you said, everything depends on the individual. My response was
diplomatic, “Oh, Mr. Pierce, I don’t have your contact information. I still have your coat, so
can I invite you to a meal sometime to give it back to you?”
He sipped his drink again, and did not give me his number. He didn’t seem willing to share
it, so I didn’t
press.
After seeing me talking to Atlas, Matthew approached. He smiled as he wrapped an arm
around me.”
Chlo, who’s this?”
“Oh, this is Mr. Atlas Pierce from ATL Empire,” I said as I turned to face Atlas. “Mr. Pierce,
this is my
husband, Matthew, the CEO of Tanum Corporation.”
Matthew extended his hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Pierce!”
Atlas smiled lightly. “Likewise.”
He turned to me without continuing the conversation with Matthew, “Excuse me.”
Then he walked away without saying goodbye to Matthew. Despite being an assistant, he
seemed
uninterested.
Matthew was annoyed and asked, “What does he do at ATL Empire? He seems arrogant.”
“He represented Mr. Wright in the previous bidding meeting.” I said. I didn’t know Atlas’s
role at ATL

Matthew scoffed. “Pfft! He seems high and mighty, even harder to approach than Mr.
Wright!”
was a man who cared about his reputation. His desire for respect stemmed from his past
experiences and insecurities. He was always afraid of being looked down on.
He appeared to have found a support system since we started the company. He liked
being widely respected.

I knew these things but chose to ignore them. Perhaps love blinded me, and I would hide
his flaws in such
situations.
After his betrayal, I had to rethink how I could love a deceitful person who had an affair
with his sister.
All that remained was disgust. That foolish state where love clouded my judgment seemed
to have passed. As a result, his flaws became glaringly evident in my eyes.
I glanced at him. Matthew was still looking at Atlas with a sour face as he walked away.
He’s such a
scoundrel.
As the banquet neared its end, I saw Atlas again. He was bidding Nick and the others
farewell, indicating
they were leaving.
There were a lot of people exchanging pleasantries. Naturally, Matthew could not pass up
this chance. He
went up to shake hands and make his presence known.
Atlas, however, came over to me. As he passed by, he slipped a note into m
my hand.
