Take My Breath Away

Matthew had no intentions of exposing her lie. He stroked her red lips softly with his thumb and said nonchalantly, "I know hundreds of people and they are willing to do whatever I command. You don't need to bother yourself with my burden. Just show your sincerity if you ask me for a favor next time."

A moment ago, because of his action, Erica had sat down on his lap. And now, she suddenly felt that there was something hard underneath her making her current stance uncomfortable. However, as a simple woman, she decided not to pay much attention to it.

She turned and resettled to avoid that hard thing and earnestly asked, "Okay! Then, when will you arrange my meeting with my idol?"

"Soon as I can. For now, my work is very important. Sit there and wait!" Matthew replied as he tried to constrain himself. He couldn't focus on his work with her around.

"Sure, sure! Your work is more important! Thank you very much!" Before standing up, she also blandly helped him tidy up his collars.

While she was just about to walk away from his desk, Erica turned around again and asked, "Can I let Hyatt in first? I'm afraid he is going to feel alone if left in the reception room all by himself."

For some reason, the question made Matthew frown. Not only was Erica asking to see a man she had admired for four years, but had also arrived at the company with yet another man. Was he being too nice to her? He cast a cold glance at her and said, "Let him stay there."

'Is he angry? For what?

Didn't we settle everything a moment ago?' she wondered.

But she didn't dare ask him about it. She plumped down on the sofa, took out her phone and sent a message to Hyatt. "I'm waiting for Matthew to get free; wait there. Rest assured, though. I'm sure we'll get to meet Aaron!"

Within moments, the response to her message popped up. "Alright. Talk to Mr. Huo nicely and don't lose your temper."

'I lose my temper easily?' Truth be told, she did have a short temper, but she had seemingly found someone whose temper was even shorter: Matthew! "Okay."

Waiting and bored out of her wits, just as Erica was about to doze off on the sofa, Matthew called the assistant in.

Paige walked into the office. "Yes, Mr. Huo!"

Matthew cast a sideways glance at Erica, who was groggily trying to stay up on the sofa. "Take my wi

n A Country the day you were born. It has since been kept in the National Museum for display."

Matthew's words embarrassed her so much that Erica lowered her head and covered her face with her hand. However, her ears pricked when she heard Aaron greet her husband.

"Hello, Mr. Huo. I'm Aaron Gao." The superstar stretched out a warm hand at the CEO.

With a stiff look at the fair and strong hand in front of him, Matthew merely nodded at the young superstar as a greeting. However, he didn't shake hands.

Aaron awkwardly looked at the other two people from the corner of his eye. It looked like no one had noticed this rejection. He felt relieved, withdrew his hand hurriedly, and went back to his seat.

When Hyatt saw Matthew, he became very nervous and shot up to his feet instantly. Under the CEO's cold gaze, he greeted in a timid voice, "Hello, Mr. Huo."

Matthew took the seat next to Erica, and cast a glance at the boy who was flushed with nervousness. "Hyatt Li?"

"Yes, yes, that's me." To Hyatt's surprise, Matthew was aware of his name. This made him as excited as Erica had been when she had met Aaron just now.

With an embarrassed but polite smile, Erica raised her head and whispered to her husband, "What are you doing here?" She had just been joking with Aaron when he had walked in.

Casting a glance at her, Matthew answered, "I'm here to see what you two were talking about."

"Nothing. We were just joking." As Erica was speaking, she rested her chin on her hand, and her gaze turned towards her idol once again.
