Now that Jane had returned, maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Matt meant she must obtain something.
And now that the thing had been delivered to her doorstep, I didn't believe Jane would let it go.
Sure enough, when Matt saw Jane, with red eyes and on the brink of tears, he once again shouted out a bid of 5.2 million.
I did not continue bidding, watching Matt look happily at Jane with a silly smile.
It reminded me of three years ago, when Matt bought me a Hermes bag during our vacation in the Maldives and looked at me in the same silly way.
I touched my abdomen and thought, My task for today is complete.
I pretended to look angrily at Matt and then left the scene indignantly.
The next day, Matt was scolded by Ben and stripped of his authority at the Scott Group. He was asked to reflect on his actions at home.
Matt had always been on par with his brother, Jacob, in the Scott Group, but this time he had misappropriated funds to buy a bracelet for Jane.
There was a chance to remedy the situation, but Jacob acted faster.
Matt had just misappropriated funds yesterday, and today Ben found out.
