Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 84 Crazed Fans

Erin was a tad shocked as she had expected him to send her straight home.

“Where to?”

Matthew had removed his mask and flashed her an enigmatic smile. “My recording studio.”

Erin glanced at her wristwatch, looking uncertain.

“If you do not wish to go, I’ll send you home right away,” Matthew offered.

The hint of disappointment in his voice had Erin reluctant to decline his invitation. She thought that since she didn’t need to go to work the next day, she might as well go along with his plan.

Matthew sped up happily when Erin agreed to go with him. “Drive slower, Matthew. We’ve got low visibility due to the rain. Better to be safe than sorry.” Erin was worried.

He gave her a sidelong glance as the corners of his lips lifted. “Sure, whatever you say.”

The adoration in Matthew’s eyes made Erin feel awkward, so she turned to look out the window. Her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Out of nowhere, Erin suddenly said, “I would like to apologize to you for what my cousin did.”

“That’s all in the past. I’ve almost forgotten about it already. Besides, you shouldn’t be the one apologizing when she’s the one who’s done something wrong.”

Matthew spoke calmly, but Erin could tell from his tone that he felt an aversion towards May and her actions.

A long silence followed throughout the ride as Matthew drove to his recording studio.

When his sports car entered a housing estate, a hint of anxiety crept up on Erin. She had assumed that his recording studio would be in a high–rise building in some commercial district, or a proper studio at least. It had never occurred to her that it would be in a housing estate.
