“ALL right!" Erica asked Jarvis to stay just for formalities as she left the principal's office to make a phone call to Matthew.
This was actually the first time that Erica had ever called him. She had been contacting him by sending messages before. However, the matter was quite urgent this time. What if, for some reason, he couldn't read the message in time?
After just a few rings, the call was picked up.
"Hello." She heard
Matthew's voice coming from the other end of the Line.
The man's low and captivating voice made Erica's heart skip a beat.
After clearing her throat, she said, "Well, I'm at school right now and
I was thinking of boarding, but Jarvis told me you wouldn't allow it.”
“You're planning to board at school?" he asked.
“Yes!"
“Come to my office once you are done with the formalities."
“What? Why?" Erica flatly asked in confusion.
In a rather calm tone, he replied, "I need to discuss this matter with you in person.”
‘Huh? Would that really be necessary? I don't think it is, ' she thought to herself.
“I don't want to bother you while you're at work. I just want to board at school," she insisted.
“Let's just talk about it when you get here." With that, Matthew hung up the phone, Leaving her no chance to refuse.
Erica helplessly rolled her eyes. ‘He is so bossy! Why does he have to be so unreasonable?! *
After going through all the procedures, Erica asked Jarvis to take her to Matthew's company. At that moment, she was very eager to fight for her freedom.
At the Hilton Group
Someone had just informed the employees at the reception desk that the
CEO's wife was on the way and should be received and escorted to the
CEO's office.
When Erica arrived at the Hilton Group, two employees gave her a warm welcome and accompanied her to the CEO's office.
However, when Erica entered the CEO's office, Matthew was nowhere to be found. Instead, she saw Britney O'Shea, his assistant, who served her a cup of tea with a smile. Since Matthew wasn't there yet, she gladly accepted it and said, “Thank you."
“You're welcome, Mrs. Erica. Mr. Matthew should be here any minute now.
