As she stood in the walk-in closet and pondered over what to pack, Erica suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask Matthew how long the trip would take. She hurriedly took out her phone and sent him a message. "How many days will we be there?"

Only when she knew the answer could she begin to pack their luggage.

"Three."

Erica snorted when she read his reply. It seemed that every word was worth a great deal of money to Matthew. His answer was always simple and straightforward, not one unnecessary word.

It was easy for Erica to ask for leave from school. All she needed to do was send a message to the guidance counselor.

Soon after, she began to separate their belongings. At first, she had planned to pack their clothes and other items in two separate small suitcases. But it seemed troublesome. In the end, she found a twenty-eight-inch suitcase in the closet and bundled their luggage together.

Erica didn't know when Matthew returned home that night as she had already fallen asleep.

When she woke the next morning, she saw the man sitting on the bed next to her. He seemed to be sending text messages. She turned, placed her arm on his belly, and said happily, "Good morning, Matthew."

She had often heard people say that waking next to a loved one and seeing them first thing in the morning was precious. Now she knew it to be true.

However, Matthew's expression conveyed that he hadn't forgiven her yet. His tone was indifferent as he replied, "Now that you're awake, get up!"

"Okay..." Mathew's heartless response wiped the smile from Erica's face. She wanted to have some intimate moments with him, no matter how brief. After all, he was busy every day, and she rarely had the chance to see him by her side when she opened her eyes in the morning.

After breakfast, Matthew went to the bedroom to finish dressing. Erica entered just as he was rolling up his sleeves. Without glancing at her, he questioned, "What's in that suitcase on the floor inside the closet?" 'Don't tell me that you are going to carry a twenty-eight-inch suitcase for a three-day trip, ' he thought.

"Oh, I only packed part of our luggage last night. Some of my belongings haven't been put in yet. Thank you for reminding me! I'll be ready soon." Women were troublesome. She had to leave place in the suitcase for the skincare products she had used this morning.

'Is she really going to take a twenty-eight-inch suitcase?' Matthew looked at her suspiciously. "Can you carry such a big suitcase?"

Erica shook her head and answered honestly, "No.

Erica grinned. She continued their conversation as she walked alongside. "Are you here for work or fun?"

Before any of the others could reply, Orange said, "We came here for work. What about you, miss?" Orange was the youngest from among the four, and his personality matched Erica's as they were both cheerful and enthusiastic.

"I'm here for fun! Oh! Would you mind if I took a picture of you and keep it as a souvenir?" She shook the camera on her chest and smiled sweetly.

Taking the camera with her as she stepped out for a walk was a fantastic idea!

"Of course!" Being photographed was routine for the idols. Without hesitating, they stood side by side in the corridor and posed for her to take photos.

But... Erica had forgotten to switch on her camera. She smiled at them awkwardly, "I forgot that I hadn't turned it on yet. It's going to be ready soon!"

Her expression amused Red. "Are you a professional cameraperson?"

"Not really. I'm studying photography in college. Since I haven't graduated yet, I'm not a professional!" The camera beeped to indicate that it was ready. Erica adjusted the camera to the automatic mode, aimed at them, and pressed the shutter.

After taking the photo, Erica stepped to the side and said, "I'm done. Thank you!"

Orange joked, "You're welcome. Please don't tell our fans that we're in this hotel. Otherwise, they'll flock here, and the hotel will be too crowded! Ha-ha..."

Erica burst into laughter as well. "Okay, I know! I promise to cover the background if I post the picture online."

"Okay, bye, beauty!" The young men bid her farewell.

After they entered the elevator, Erica opened her camera and glanced at the photo she had taken.
