Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 83 Can’t Bear the Thought of It

Erin could tell from Matthew’s voice that he was pleasantly surprised; somehow, she felt bad about it. She chuckled awkwardly. “Do you find it strange for me to call you?”

“Yes! Very strange indeed! You never once contacted me of your own accord even though you’ve got my number, and I make sure that my phone’s never switched off,” Matthew teased.

Erin found herself at a loss for words.

“Erin, is there something you’d like to know?” Matthew probed.

Erin was amazed. “How’d you know?”

“That’s because I’m on the same wavelength as you!” Matthew laughed, sitting in the VIP lounge like the rockstar that he was. His manager gestured for him to take note of the time, waving their boarding ticket in his hands.

Erin giggled. “Alright then, maybe that’s true.”

“Can you give me a few minutes, Erin? I’ll call you back right away!”

“Yeah, sure. You go ahead.”

Matthew swiftly ended the call and told his companions, “I’m not attending the music festival anymore. You guys have fun and enjoy yourselves. I’ll be staying back for a month!”

The rest of his team were stunned. They were finally done with all the concerts, and he was passing this chance to wind down overseas?

It went without saying that his manager had to stay back with Matthew, so he left the waiting lounge glumly as he trailed along. They hurried through the VIP lane, and Matthew immediately returned Erin’s call as soon as his phone received a signal.

The fact was, Erin was able to ask what she needed to know, but Matthew insisted on speaking to her in person and that it had to be tonight. Erin glanced at the clock on the living room wall and found that it wasn’t too late yet, so she agreed to his request. They decided to meet up at a jazz bar nearby.

Erin stepped into the bar an hour later. The black range rover that was shadowing her pulled up a little way down the street. Hans Feinwell, who was in the car, kept a close eye on Erin.
