“Yes, Erica."

After enduring a meeting that started at eight in the morning and ended at one in the afternoon, Matthew returned to his room, where he found his secretary still printing some documents. Loosening his tie, he asked, "Do I have any missed calls?"

Ana came over him and handed him back his phone very carefully.

"Yes.

You've got a call from Time Group's CEO and a video call from your wife."

"Did Erica video call me?' He took the phone from Ana and immediately checked his WeChat as he asked, "Did she say anything?"

"No. I told her that you couldn't answer the call because you were in an important meeting. But Mrs. Hilton didn't take it very well and insisted on speaking to you. Although I explained to her that none of the attendants in this meeting had their phones with them, she still got mad. Matthew, would you like to be alone now to talk to Mrs.

Hilton?" Ana asked in a low voice.

Matthew glanced at the video record. It was a one-minute call. Raising his head, he met Ana's eyes. He wasn't satisfied with her way of handling this situation. He said without a hint of emotion in his voice, "Next time my wife insists on talking to me while I'm in a meeting, you must send me the phone. It doesn't matter how important the meeting is."

Since that was her first mistake, he didn't see the need to argue any further.

After her initial shock, Ana nodded immediately.

"Yes, Matthew!"

“Get out!" he commanded.

“Okay, Matthew!”

The next moment, she left the room. When Matthew was finally on his own, he sat on the sofa and called his wife back.

It didn't take long for the pregnant woman to answer the phone, but instead of bringing the device to her face, she left it lying on bed with its front camera aiming to the bedroom ceiling. She Lay silently beside her phone, waiting for him to speak.

Matthew had a glimpse from the woman in her pajamas as she quickly passed through the screen, so he asked, “Were you sleeping?"

“No." Although she was ready to take a nap, she was still awake.

"You called me earlier. What did you want to say?"

“Nothing.”

Matthew was silent. Suddenly the video call turned quiet as she didn't say anything either.

After a while, he gave in and said, “If you have something you want to say, you can say it now. I'm alone in the room." He wanted to hear her say that she missed him.

But he never saw her next words coming.

“Oh, so the secretary has left?" The girl unexpectedly raised her voice sarcastically.

Feeling what seemed to be the start of a migraine, Matthew closed his eyes and ignored her sarcasm.
