Bab 551: I will surpass him

[XI CORPORATION: CEO's OFFICE]

"Why aren't you together if he's that amazing? Where is he now?" 

Zoey drew back a little, turning her head to the side while her eyes were still fixed at him. She sipped from the beer and purposely made him wait for the answer.

"Somewhere close," She humored, which made the side of his lips curl up into a smirk.

"How close?"

"Who knows? I won't tell you. You might do something to him." Zoey shrugged, sticking to her idea of teasing him a little more.

"Haha," Matthew chuckled as he shook his head lightly and drew away. "Not quite. He poses no threat, to be honest."

Matthew remarked in a matter-of-fact tone. His answer caused Zoey's brow to arch.

"How so?"

"Because you're with me and not him." Matthew shrugged as he answered almost immediately, as if he already knew she would ask such a question.
