Erica was at such a loss. ‘Last year... Five hundred thousand...‘ At that point, she was already on the verge of tears.

A bottle of wine actually cost $500, 000! She thought that Matthew was too extravagant. Although she had drunk red wine which was as expensive, it wasn't like she was the one who paid for it. This time, she was the one who had to pay for it. And she felt like she would have to give an arm and a leg for it.

After pondering about it for a while, she asked hypothetically, “Let's say that this bottle of wine went missing, what are you going to do about it?"

When Matthew heard this, he took a look at the girl whose mood swings were much like a roller coaster ride. With his face turning into a frown, he asked, “What on earth are you trying to say?"

Erica wanted to stop beating around the bush. Gritting her teeth, she finally said, "When I went to your cellar to take photos earlier, I accidentally... knocked it off and then bang! I broke it! Please don't be mad. I promise I'll compensate you for it. And I'll pay for the whole five hundred thousand. No, I'll make it five hundred and twenty thousand!" The price of a bottle of wine tended to increase up to 20,

000 per year. With that in mind, Erica thought that should be enough!

"So, that's what all this is about, ' Matthew thought to himself. As he continued walking, Matthew flatly said, “I have enough money." He wanted to tell her that he didn't want her money.

Hearing his response, Erica pulled a long face. She had a hard time dealing with such rich guys. Moreover, she was worried that things would just become even more troublesome.

“Then what do you want me to do?" Erica asked.

Glancing at the TV, on which a zombie movie was playing, he said, "Turn off the TV. I'm going to tell you upstairs.”

“Okay!" Erica ran to turn off the TV and put the remote control back in place. Then, she quickly went after the man who was walking up the stairs.

Before he could reach the top of the stairs, she ran toward him and caught up with him in just two strides. Panting slightly, she said,

“Mr. Matthew, please tell me!"

In contrast to her eagerness, Matthew was rather calm.

“What's the hurry?"

However, Erica was feeling so uneasy. If it were up to her, she would like to get this over with as soon as possible.

They went up the stairs together, heading to the third floor toward their bedroom.

While Matthew was carefully taking off his suit jacket, Erica tried to take it from him. However, he didn't want to hand it to her.

"You don't need to bother doing such trifling matters.”

Erica was taken aback. Did he just refuse her act of courtesy?

Since Matthew didn't seem to want her help, she decided to just stand there and watch as he changed his clothes.

After he took off his jacket, he said, "Come over here."

Erica gladly ran toward him and said, "I'm here!"

Then, Matthew Lowered his gaze and looked at his white shirt.

"You do it," he softly said.
