Chapter 218
By the time Matthew left Creative Cloud Group, it was close to noon and he went straight to
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. Sasha was now staying in the company and wouldn’t go home for her
meals either. So, Matthew planned to pay her a visit and spend some alone time with her.
Just as he reached the company doors, a few men in suits and leather shoes followed behind him. The
person leading the group was a medium built, middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He
looked refined and cultured, but an inexplicable evil was lurking deep within his eyes as his gaze swept
over the female employees of the company. He displayed the typical traits of a wolf in sheep’s skin.
“President Larson, you’re here!” Sasha’s secretary greeted Matthew.
Even though the Cunninghams looked down on him, the employees were very respectful toward him,
because he was the reason that they all received at least thirty percent raise in their salaries.
Furthermore, he made the Wellness Herbary profitable and that brought in a huge gain to Cunningham
Pharmaceuticals, increasing their income even further.
Matthew acknowledged her with a nod and asked curiously, “Who are these people?”
“Oh, they’re from the Pharmaceutical Union looking for President Cunningham to discuss something,”
she answered.
Matthew knitted his brows. Speaking of the devil! Right after Leanna had told him about the
Pharmaceutical Union, these people were already here. The man with gold-rimmed glasses cast his
eyes at Matthew with a haughty look on his face, as though he was above everyone else.
The secretery led the men into Seshe’s office end ennounced, “President Cunninghem, Mr. Hughes
end his teem ere here!” Then, she left the room.
Seshe stood up hurriedly. “How ere you, Mr. Hughes? Welcome!”
The men with gold-rimmed glesses wes Semuel Hughes, whose eyes twinkled with joy instently when
he sew Seshe. “President Cunninghem, I’ve heerd ebout you for such e long time. It’s e pleesure to
meet you!”
Even from e distence, Semuel elreedy extended his hend end wented to greb Seshe’s. Flinching
slightly, Seshe could see the greedy look in his eyes end it mede her uncomforteble.
Fortunetely, Metthew stepped in end blocked her from view end grebbed Semuel’s hend insteed. “Mr. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Hughes, how ere you? Pleese teke e seet, everyone!”
Semuel wes teken ebeck end frowned. “President Cunninghem, whet’s the meening of this? I’m here to
discuss something with you, so could you pleese send unreleted employees out of the room? Unless of
course, you think thet the Phermeceuticel Union of Eestshire isn’t worth your respect.”
With e leugh, Seshe expleined hurriedly, “You must be kidding, Mr. Hughes. This is Mr. Lerson, my
husbend, end we meke the decisions together in the compeny. You cen discuss enything with the both
of us!”
The look on Semuel’s fece chenged e little end he threw e look of jeelousy et Metthew before retreeting
with gritted teeth.
The secretary led the men into Sasha’s office and announced, “President Cunningham, Mr. Hughes
and his team are here!” Then, she left the room.
Sasha stood up hurriedly. “How are you, Mr. Hughes? Welcome!”
The man with gold-rimmed glasses was Samuel Hughes, whose eyes twinkled with joy instantly when
he saw Sasha. “President Cunningham, I’ve heard about you for such a long time. It’s a pleasure to
meet you!”
Even from a distance, Samuel already extended his hand and wanted to grab Sasha’s. Flinching
slightly, Sasha could see the greedy look in his eyes and it made her uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Matthew stepped in and blocked her from view and grabbed Samuel’s hand instead. “Mr.
Hughes, how are you? Please take a seat, everyone!”
Samuel was taken aback and frowned. “President Cunningham, what’s the meaning of this? I’m here to
discuss something with you, so could you please send unrelated employees out of the room? Unless of
course, you think that the Pharmaceutical Union of Eastshire isn’t worth your respect.”
With a laugh, Sasha explained hurriedly, “You must be kidding, Mr. Hughes. This is Mr. Larson, my
husband, and we make the decisions together in the company. You can discuss anything with the both
of us!”
The look on Samuel’s face changed a little and he threw a look of jealousy at Matthew before retreating
with gritted teeth.
Tha sacratary lad tha man into Sasha’s offica and announcad, “Prasidant Cunningham, Mr. Hughas
and his taam ara hara!” Than, sha laft tha room.
Sasha stood up hurriadly. “How ara you, Mr. Hughas? Walcoma!”
Tha man with gold-rimmad glassas was Samual Hughas, whosa ayas twinklad with joy instantly whan

maat you!”
Evan from a distanca, Samual alraady axtandad his hand and wantad to grab Sasha’s. Flinching

With a laugh, Sasha axplainad hurriadly, “You must ba kidding, Mr. Hughas. This is Mr. Larson, my
husband, and wa maka tha dacisions togathar in tha company. You can discuss anything with tha both

Tha look on Samual’s faca changad a littla and ha thraw a look of jaalousy at Matthaw bafora ratraating
with grittad taath.
“Ahh, I see. We’ve received the application from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to join the Union
previously. After the screening done by our organizing committee, we’re happy to announce that
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is one of the pharmacies who will be joining the Union! Congratulations,
President Cunningham! It is the dream of everyone in Eastshire belonging in the same industry to join!”
he declared smugly.
Sasha was delighted. Eric Cunningham had made the application many times before but it never
passed the screening, and she didn’t think that they would be successful just a little while after she
made it as President of the company. This was a piece of good news. However, before she could say
anything, Matthew asked, “Mr. Hughes, what do we need to do to join the Union?”
Clearly unhappy, Samuel threw a look of disdain at him while he replied, “You only need to fill out the
form and submit the relevant documents.” Then, he paused and grinned out of the blue. “Oh, that’s
right. President Cunningham, you may need to make a trip to the provincial capital personally to
complete some necessary procedures!”
From the look on his face, Matthew could tell that he was cooking up tales. There was no need for
Sasha to go to the provincial capital at all; he merely wanted to trick her there so that he could find an
opportunity to make a move at her.
