The foreign driver quickly nodded and responded, “Alright, chairman. I’ll head out right away!”


    He then opened the trunk of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, taking the suitcases from Paul and efficiently loading them inside.


    Once finished, he turned to Matilda and asked, “Chairman, are you and the general manager taking this car to the Shangri-La hotel?”


    Matilda nodded and replied, “I’ll be going in my old ssmate’s car. You can leave first.”


    Jacob nced at the sleek, luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom and felt a wave of unease wash over him.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He recognized the car’s worth; a vehicle of this caliber would easily cost eight or nine million dors. On top of that, the golden logo made of pure gold added another two hundred thousand dors to its value!


    Feeling somewhat inferior, Jacob quickly suggested, “Oh, Matilda, maybe you should just take your Rolls-Royce Phantom to the Shangri-La. My car is just an ordinary, low-grade model. I wouldn’t want you to feel ufortable traveling in it.”


    Matilda responded earnestly, “Jacob, we’ve known each other for many years. Do you really think I’m someone who cares about such things?”


    Feeling embarrassed, Jacob hesitated before saying, “I just drive a standard BMW 5 Series. I’m afraid it won’t be good enough for you…”


    Matilda, a bit annoyed, replied, “Jacob, why does it seem like you’re so preupied with these details now? I don’t care if you pick me up in a Rolls-Royce or a BMW 5 Series. Honestly, I wouldn’t even mind if you came to get me on that bike that was once so popr among the male students. It’s all just transportation. Even if you showed up on a bike today, I’d dly ride with you.”


    With a smile, she added, “But I suppose it might be a bit tricky for me to ride a bike at my age now.”


    Jacob felt a sense of relief wash over him after hearing Matilda’s words.


    He had been worried that she might feel uneasy in his BMW 5 Series, especially since she was likely ustomed to the luxury of a Rolls-Royce. The thought of her difort made him anxious.


    At that moment, Paul leaned over and whispered to Matilda in English, “Mom, maybe you should just take our car to the hotel. The BMW 5 Series isn’t veryfortable, and I worry you might not adjust well to it.”


    Matilda waved her hand dismissively and whispered back, “Please don’t use such an expensive car when I meet my old ssmates in the future. Can you check if there’s a standardmercial vehicle in yourpany, like a Buick GL8 that costs a few hundred thousand dors? I want to avoid making my old ssmates feel distant from me after not seeing them for over twenty years.”


    Paul replied reluctantly, “Mom, we don’t have anything that inexpensive in ourpany. The cheapestmercial vehicle we have is a Toyota Alphard, which costs over a million dors…”


    Matilda insisted, “Then just purchase a car that’s worth two or three hundred thousand dors.”


    Paul nodded, saying, “Alright, if that’s what you want. I’ll handle all the arrangements for you.”


    After finishing his conversation, Paul approached the driver and quietly instructed, “Please go and buy a Buick GL8 for thepanyter.”


    The driver looked surprised and replied, “General Manager, we don’t have such a low-end vehicle in our fleet.”


    Paul said, “It’s alright. Just buy one for me.”


    “Okay then.”


    Charlie, who had superior hearing, caught every word of their quiet conversation. He couldn’t help but admire Matilda even more. This woman was not only beautiful and remarkable but also possessed great emotional intelligence.


    To Charlie, she was a true goddess in the eyes of every middle-aged man.


    He also sensed that his father-inw, Jacob, would soon find himselfpletely captivated by her charm…<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong><fn267e> Chapters first released on find·novel</fn267e>
