After confirming that it was Matthew on the other end of the video, and not a ghost, she picked up her notes and continued to recite facts and figures, but her voice was still a little shaky.

Matthew glared at Erica, who looked quite innocent, turned off the mic on his computer and scolded, "Go wash your face!"

Erica pointed at his computer.

"Is this fun? Let me see!"

“No need!" He was afraid that if she showed her face again, his meeting would be completely ruined. Plus, he would have to pay a huge amount of mental damages and medical fees, and also lose more than ten people.

Top talent was hard enough to come by.

"Fine!" Erica blinked innocently. Before leaving, she leaned her head over and asked Matthew, "Did I scare you?"

Embarrassed, he covered his camera and answered, "No."

‘Too bad! My little makeup job was in vain. My foundation fluid and powder were wasted!’ she thought.

After Erica went to the bathroom to remove her makeup, Matthew went back to the bedroom as well.

Hearing the noise in the bedroom, she poked her head out and asked, "So are you done?"

“Yeah. I told them we should call it a night." 'I need to let them get over the shock, * he thought.

“What a great boss!" Erica sighed.

‘It's all your fault!* he thought.

In a village of Deplua

A girl shivered and hid in a car, desperately looking at the inky blackness outside. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't get away

There were two strong men outside, peering inside.

The area was deserted. They'd set out tomorrow and arrive at a heavily wooded forest. It would take three hours to get there, so they decided to pull over for the night.

She struggled to get away the whole way here, but in the end, she failed.

She now regretted trying to mess with Erica, framing her and beating her for money, but it was too late.

The night passed quietly as she repented. On the second morning, one of the men threw two buns, a bag of pickles and a bottle of water to her.

“Breakfast !"

Lenora was very hungry, and the two buns sounded really good. Hopefully they would stop the rumbling in her stomach.

On their way to the woods, one of the men got a phone call. After the call, he told her, "We were going to keep you out here for a month. If you cooperate, you can come back in a week. Mr. Matthew's orders."

Lenora would still have to stay in the woods. But at least her sentence was reduced. As long as she could stick it out for a week, she'd be off the hook.
