Take My Breath Away

Jarvis was a bit hesitant. After all, he didn't want to go against his boss's order. "Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo told me before that you won't be boarding at school. Would you mind giving him a call to discuss this matter with him?" he asked.

"All right!" Erica asked Jarvis to stay just for formalities as she left the principal's office to make a phone call to Matthew.

This was actually the first time that Erica had ever called him. She had been contacting him by sending messages before. However, the matter was quite urgent this time. What if, for some reason, he couldn't read the message in time?

After just a few rings, the call was picked up. "Hello." She heard Matthew's voice coming from the other end of the line.

The man's low and captivating voice made Erica's heart skip a beat. After clearing her throat, she said, "Well, I'm at school right now and I was thinking of boarding, but Jarvis told me you wouldn't allow it."

"You're planning to board at school?" he asked.

"Yes!"

"Come to my office once you are done with the formalities."

"What? Why?" Erica flatly asked in confusion.

In a rather calm tone, he replied, "I need to discuss this matter with you in person."

'Huh? Would that really be necessary? I don't think it is, ' she thought to herself. "I don't want to bother you while you're at work. I just want to board at school," she insisted.

"Let's just talk about it when you get here." With that, Matthew hung up the phone, leaving her no chance to refuse.

Erica helplessly rolled her eyes. 'He is so bossy! Why does he have to be so unreasonable?!'

After going through all the procedures, Erica asked Jarvis to take her to Matthew's company. At that moment, she was very eager to fight for her freedom.

At the ZL Group

Someone had just informed the employees at the reception desk that the CEO's wife was on the way and should be received and escorted to the CEO's office.

When Erica arrived at the ZL Group, two employees gave her a warm welcome and accompanied her to the CEO's office.

However, when Erica entered the CEO's office, Matthew was nowhere to be found. Instead, she saw Britney Ouyang, his assistant, who served her a cup of tea with a smile. Since Matthew wasn't there yet, she gladly accepted it and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Huo. Mr. Huo should be here any minute now. Please take a seat as you wait for him."

"Okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome, Mrs. Huo. Then, I'll be heading out first." Upon saying that, she left the room with a gentle smile on her face.

As soon as the assistant was gone, Erica breathed a sigh of relief. Being the wife of the CEO wasn't so bad. When she went from the company's gate to

eenshot!"

After that, she immediately sent him a message along with the screenshot of "your dad" written by Matthew.

A few minutes later, she received a reply from Wesley. "Send me the screenshots of the complete chat log."

'What? No way! If I do that, then my trick will be exposed.' Erica felt so frustrated. The scheme she came up with failed!

Feeling so disappointed, she closed the chat box without bothering to say goodbye to Wesley.

Before lunch, Evelyn gave her a call. "Rika, come over here and have lunch with us. Dad asked the chef to prepare Chinese food. Everyone else is going to be here, will you join us?"

Taking a look around the big empty house, Erica felt so lonely being there all by herself, so she agreed without thinking twice. "Okay!"

"Auntie, Auntie, this is Godwin!" All of a sudden, Godwin's voice came from the other end of the line, and he seemed to be so excited.

And after that was Godfrey's turn. "Auntie, this is Godfrey."

Hearing their excitement, Erica chuckled and greeted the boys back, "Hello, Gods!"

"Auntie, Grandpa has just bought us new toys. Come and play with us later, okay?" Erica was such a cheerful and bubbly girl, and for that reason, many children liked her. In fact, the two children dropped their toys right away and rushed to talk to her upon hearing her voice over the phone.

When Godwin reached out his hand to grab the phone, Evelyn had no choice but to hand it over.

"All right. You guys wait for me. I'll be there before you know it."

Standing on tiptoes, Godfrey yelled out in excitement, "Then you should come here as soon as possible, Auntie! You have to come!"

Debbie, who was eating fruit right next to them, looked at them and commented, "These boys like Rika so much because she herself is like a child."
