True Love Waits

Chapter 1270 I'm Your Wife

"I said I changed my mind." Matthew stood up from his chair and walked over to the dumbfounded woman. He raised her delicate chin and said quietly, "Haven't you heard of sleeping your way to the top? I have to keep up with the times!"

"So, you've had sex with someone in your office before?" Erica asked, her eyes wide.

"No." He rubbed her chin with his thumb and said, "But since you seem so keen on the idea, I thought I'd take you up on it. I don't want to let you down!" He was hamming it up deliberately. Hopefully, she'd back down before he had to.

There was no way Erica was going along with this. He wanted to see if she would lose her temper when he talked about being with another woman.

The smile on Erica's face froze. "If you really don't want to, I won't force you."

Why was this man so annoying? She just wanted to test him, and he was failing badly! 'My heart! It hurts!' she cried in her mind.

Without hesitation, Matthew answered, "Don't want to? Of course I want to. Hey, can you get ahold of that chica you were talking about?"

This time, Erica couldn't even fake a smile. She tried to force a smile, and ended up with more of a grimace. "I haven't talked to her in a while. I'm not sure I can get in touch with her!"

"It doesn't matter. How about you tell me her name and I'll ask Owen to find her. As long as she's in the city, I'm sure he can get her here in, say, half an hour?"

All of a sudden, Erica flew into a rage. She attacked his cheek with the fervor of a rabid wolverine. His head rocked, and a red mark appeared on his face, conforming to an angry woman's handprint.

Matthew's face darkened. What did he do in a previous life to deserve this raging banshee? Was she born to plague him?

What was more, he was proficient in Taekwondo and many other martial arts skills. Why did she always manage to slap him? "Matthew Huo! I swear I'll call your father and tell him about you. If I don't, my name's not Erica Li!"

She wasn't kidding. She took her phone from her pocket and turned the screen on.
