Unable to refuse, the woman took the money and said, "Thank you, Mr.

Matthew."

“Thanks for your help." Matthew tucked his wallet in his back pocket and left, leaving the two female employees stunned. It took them a while to process what just happened.

They couldn't help but wonder if Matthew was going to fold stars himself and then give them to someone.

As soon as Matthew arrived at the door to the office of the financial manager, his phone began to vibrate in his pocket. He didn't intend to answer it, because what he was going to do was very important.

But when he saw the caller's ID was the principal from Erica's school, he turned around and slid the answer key at once.

"Hello, Mr. Zabulon."

“Hello, Mr. Matthew. I hope I'm not interrupting your work, but Mrs.

Erica...caused trouble at school."

Matthew felt a headache coming on as he listened to the other man.

Meanwhile, Erica and Hyatt had bought a box of fish balls from a street vendor near the school. While they were eating, she got a call from

Matthew.

"Hi, what's up?"

"Come to my office now!"

“Now? That important, huh?" Erica was confused. Did Matthew know that she was already done with class for the day?

“Yes!"

“Okay, on my way.”

After bidding Hyatt farewell, she flagged down a taxi and got in. She told the driver to head to the offices of Hilton Group.

Before she left the school, she also bought a cup of hot and sour rice noodles from one of the vending machines. The smell hit Matthew's nostrils before he even stepped in his office. He wrinkled his nose.

He stopped in his tracks and called Paige over.

"What's that smell?"

Paige walked into the office and saw the girl sitting in Matthew's chair, eating hot and sour rice noodles.

When she saw Paige come in, Erica greeted her with a smile, “Hello, Ms.

Paige."

Paige chuckled.
