Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1169 They Are All Crazy



Erica felt better after she quickly gulped down three glasses of water. She wiped her tears with a tissue listlessly and cried out, "I almost died!"

"Are you alright now?" Matthew asked.

"Yes, much better." Erica grabbed another tissue and blew her nose into it.

Matthew placed an internal call and ordered, "Ask the cleaner to come to my office."

"Right away, Mr. Huo."

Hanging up the call, Matthew looked at the cup of hot and sour rice noodles and frowned. "Do you still want to eat this?"

Afraid that he would throw it away, Erica quickly took the cup away from him. "Yes, I'm gonna eat it." It was such delicious food; why would she waste it?

When the cleaner came in, Erica had just finished eating the last mouthful of rice noodles.

The cleaning lady emptied the trash bag which was full of used tissues and replaced the bin with a new bag. She also made sure to leave a new box of tissues on the desk.

Once the two of them were left alone in the office again, Erica told Matthew with a serious expression, "That was not funny at all."

He nodded, "Of course, it wasn't. After all, it was not a joke."

Erica gawked at him. He was straightforward. She didn't know what to say. "Y-you…you said you would respect my wish."

"Yes, I will respect your wish."

His promise relieved her. "Okay, but why did you want me to come here?"

He looked at her sternly. "Ask yourself what you had done at school and why you were reported by three of your schoolmates," Matthew said flatly.

Erica understood at once. Those three girls had reported her to the principal. She scoffed disapprovingly, "They spoke ill of me behind my back and talked trash about you too. I only scared them a little. It was just spiders! You should have seen their faces; they turned pale at the sight of it. Cowards!"

Matthew sighed. 'Is this woman too bold, or are the others just too timid?' he wondered.

"I see. Then, how did one of the girls sprain her ankle?" The principal had told him that the girl had broken bones too.

"That had nothing to do with me! She twisted her ankle when she stepped back in fear. And she got so scared that she ended up wetting her pants!" Erica chuckled under her breath at first. But the more she th

a boyfriend. We met at the airport, and he took me home."

Matthew's lips curled upwards. "You think I would believe that?"

Erica put her arms around his neck and fawned on him with a flirty smile, "Of course, you'll believe me. I'm your wife; you must believe everything I say!"

Matthew smirked. "Haven't you always wanted to divorce me?"

"Of course not! My husband, Matthew Huo, is the most handsome, smart and talented man in the world. Your charm can't be resisted. Could there ever be another perfect man like you?" Erica calmly buttered him up.

The man's eyes filled with disgust. "Do you always flatter people like this?"

Erica wasn't ashamed by his words. She lied to his face again, "I don't give a damn about flattering anyone. I was really just praising you."

Matthew didn't say anything.

Usually, it was men who always lied to women. But in his case, it was the other way round. His wife was full of lies.

But he didn't want to continue this charade anymore. He changed the topic. "What do you want for dinner?"

"What else can you cook?"

"You want me to cook for you again?" He wondered if he was being too good to this woman. It was making her bolder by the day.

Erica grinned, "Okay! Treat me to hot pot!"

He raised his eyebrows. "Why would I treat you?"

'Because I'm stingy!' she laughed cunningly in her mind. "Because it's expensive. If you want me to treat you, I can buy you a bowl of Liuzhou river snails rice noodles."

"What is that?"
