A mischievous smile tugged on Matthew's lips. Satisfied with Erica's apology, he said, "Come here!" Then, he crooked his finger at her.

Erica, perfume bottle in hand, immediately sashayed toward him and asked with a chuckle, "Mr. Huo, what can I do for you?" Delighted with her attitude, he pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "I was not satisfied with the kiss earlier. Let's do it again!"

Erica giggled, and a tinge of pink graced her cheeks. Then, she lowered her eyes and saw that he was still undressed. Her face flushed, and she stuttered, "Yes, sure. But you have to wear your clothes first!"

Matthew grabbed the closest night robe in the wardrobe and nimbly put it on. His swift movement caused his muscles to ripple, and Erica almost swooned.

The passion glimmering in her eyes pleased the man. With raised eyebrows, he ordered, "You can start now!"

"O-okay." Erica put the perfume bottle aside, encased his waist with her slender arms, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his thin lips.

Soon, the sound of their rapid breathing echoed in the otherwise quiet closet.

More than ten minutes later, Erica escaped from Matthew's tight embrace. Before leaving, she grabbed the bottle of perfume.

Bang! The door slammed shut behind Erica. Still excited from her intimate moment with Matthew, she leaned against the wall and tried to steady her breath.

She placed her fair, delicate finger on her hot burning face and thought, 'Oh, my God! Matthew is such a flirt...'

Only then did she realize that she was disheveled. She lowered her head and tidied up her clothes which Matthew had pulled open, before trotting to the dresser to study the perfume.

The perfume had a light fragrance with a lingering scent of fresh fruit. It was delightfully sweet.

Erica licked her lips as she studied the light blue liquid in the bottle. It looked tasty too...

After Matthew showered and changed his clothes, they grabbed a quick lunch outside. As Erica had more classes, she needed to return to school.

At the entrance of Y City University

Owen glanced at his watch as annoyance coursed through him. He had been waiting for ten minutes.

A few minutes later, he finally saw the person for whom he had been waiting. He immediately straightened his clothes, took a few steps forward, and called, "Mr. Chai!"

Watkins' brow furrowed when he saw a strange man hailing him. It took a minute or so for Watkins to remembe

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

pered in her ear, "Erica, it looks good. It's very suitable for your husband."

She nodded, "I believe so as well. But it is too expensive..." Then, with a sweet smile, she asked the saleslady next to her, "Well... is there a discount?"

The smile on the saleslady's face didn't change. "I'm sorry, ma'am. We don't sell our goods at a discount all year round. But, there are some promotional activities in the shopping mall. You can get a suitcase with the Shining International Plaza's logo if you shop for fifty thousand dollars. If you spend one hundred thousand dollars, the value of the gifts increases as well. You can visit the reception desk to learn more."

Erica nodded. As she hadn't found anything suitable after hours of searching, she agreed to the cost. "Please pack it for me."

"Okay. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"

"Swipe my card!" Suppressing the reluctance in her heart, Erica removed a card from her purse and followed the saleslady to the checkout counter to pay the bill.

At ZL Group

It was late at night, and Matthew was still finishing his last task for the day.

At about ten o'clock, he called Paige through the internal line. "Cancel all my meetings for tomorrow." Paige was surprised. The CEO's daily schedule was usually arranged half a month in advance.

Perhaps he had forgotten what was on his schedule for the next day. Paige felt it was prudent to remind him, "But, Mr. Huo, you have an important meeting tomorrow..."

Matthew's tone was quite decisive when he replied, "Postpone it for a day. And let the important clients know that I will visit them in person later."
