Matthew raised his head to look at the woman who had just walked in and he tried to draw his sights back, but he couldn't. The expression on her face told him that something wasn't right.

"I'll be done in two minutes," he said.

Erica nodded. She walked to his desk and stared at the expressionless man.

"Matthew," she said seriously.

“Hmm?" He preferred her to call him honey instead of Matthew

"I want to ask you a question."

Matthew signed his name on the last page of the document; the project was worth more than a hundred million dollars.

"Go ahead!" he said curtly.

“Have you gone to visit Phoebe recently?"

“No, I haven't." ‘Why would I see Phoebe? I‘d rather be with Rika and spend the rest of my life bickering with her, ' he thought.

As long as Phoebe's baby was safe and healthy, there was no need for him to see her.

“Oh! No wonder..." ‘Phoebe is pregnant so he can't have sex with her.

Since I won't allow him to have sex with me, I'm not surprised that he wants to date young models, ' she thought.

Puzzled, Matthew asked, “And then

“Well. Erica moved closer to him and in a low voice, said shyly,

“Don't forget to take protective measures when you are out there having fun. It's not easy to raise a child. If one day several children start showing up in front of you, claiming you to be their dad, both of us will be in a lot of trouble.”

Matthew sat there in utter amazement, finding it difficult to process

Erica's words. He stopped sorting out the documents and frowned.

"What are you talking about?"

"I heard about the young models. Apparently, they're only eighteen years old. I feel bad for them because you are so much older than them.

Be sure to give them extra money for their trouble! You shouldn't cheap out on something like that." Money wasn't something Matthew was particularly short of, and the only reason those women would be willing to sleep with him was because of his money.

Matthew was a smart guy. Nothing much got past him. He already understood what was wrong as soon as he heard Erica utter her first sentence. Damn that Sheffield. He must have told her.

And what did she mean? He had his own thoughts on the matter, but he wasn't sure he was right. ‘Is she saying she isn't going to care if I fool around with other women?' Matthew thought angrily.

“Erica!" he called in a cold tone.

Erica immediately stood at attention. Stiff, hands at her sides, eyes straight ahead.
