“Stop!" Matthew called out to the girl who had ignored him.

Erica turned around and asked, "What's up?"

Matthew walked over to her and said, "I'll see you out." He wanted to see who was picking her up

Puzzled, Erica didn't refuse. She changed into her shoes and walked out of the villa.

A silver SUV was parked right outside the villa. A man in a dark blue windbreaker left the car.

Tam was about to open the car door for Erica, but when he saw who was standing behind her, he greeted Matthew first.

“Hello, Mr. Matthew:

Matthew glanced at Tam indifferently. If he remembered correctly, this man was the third son of the Watts family, a powerful family in the city.

The Watts family was comprised of two sons and one daughter. The eldest was the Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection; the second one was a daughter, the president of the High People's Court in the city, and the third one, Tam, was general manager of the operations department of a publicly traded company.

But... 'Why is Erica with Tam?' Matthew wondered.

He nodded at Tam silently.

Tam had met Matthew before and knew that he was a cold, arrogant man.

So he thought Matthew was just being his usual self, nothing unusual at all.

"We're taking off now, Mr. Matthew."

Erica had already climbed into the car and sat patiently in the back seat, waiting for Tam to start the car.

When Tam opened the driver's side door, Matthew stopped him.

"Wait a minute!"

"Yes, Mr. Matthew?" The man stared at Matthew in confusion.

Ignoring his question, Matthew brushed him away. He went straight to the car, opened the back door and told Erica, “Get out of the car!"

“Why?" Erica asked.

Matthew answered her question with another.

“Where do you want to go?

I'll ask the driver to take you there!"

He didn't like this arrangement, and all the alarm bells were sounding in his head. Erica shook her head.

“Thanks. But Tam can give me a lift."
