Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1443

The woman walked up to them again, exaggerating the side-to-side motion of her hips. She made her voice about an octave higher. "You know, I've got a birthday coming up soon. Know how old I'll be? 18. If you could help me, I'd be really grateful..."

'She's only eighteen! And she's pretty too!' The men in the car were obviously taken with her. While the driver hesitated, the woman suddenly pressed the unlock button next to her. The mechanism made a sound and the door was unlocked.

Under the driver's vigilant eyes, she opened the door and said in a soft voice, "Don't worry. I just want you to see what you'll be getting."

Then, the woman moved quicker than the eye could see. She pulled the car keys from the ignition and threw them in the bushes. After making sure they couldn't find the car keys without a concentrated search, she clapped her hands and turned around to look at the men in the car with a smile.

The three men in the car knew something was up now, so two of them got out of the car to deal with her.

Before they could do anything, they were ambushed by two men who jumped to the ground from the small hill next to them. They advanced on the men threatening Erica. A short tussle ensued, where one of the attackers waited for the thug to attack him, then stepped inside his attack and took him down with a series of palm strikes and a knee to the gut. Another thug brandished his gun, and got it taken away from him—and his arm broken.

Erica was quick and accurate. She took the man who was fighting with her to the ground as fast as she could, employing some joint locks.

Then she ran to their car to look for the drone.

It was on the back seat! She successfully grabbed the broken drone, and then the three of them ran away as fast as they could.

Back in her own car, Erica patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had gotten the drone back. If they decided to look into it, they would find out in short order that she was the one who bought it.

On their way back, they passed by the Champion Group. Looking at the tall building through the car window, Erica suddenly recognized the man she'd captured on video.

Because of this, she asked the driver to head to ZL Group. She had to find Matthew before she did anything else. He needed to know.

The car stopped at the entrance to the main offices of ZL Group. Heedless of her image, Erica rushed into the company, drone in hand.

If the driver hadn't been there to run interference for her, the security guards would have caught Erica. She ran past them so fast they could only catch the barest glimpse of her.

Erica entered her husband's office like a gust of wind. Paige was taken aback for a moment before she realized who it was.

Another special assistant tried to sort his papers. She had messed them up as she flew past. He raised his head and asked Paige, "Miss Shen, did a bird get loose in the building?"

Paige nodded, "Mrs. Huo just flew by."

The assistant lapsed into stunned silence at what she said.

Since Matthew was not in the office, Erica had to head to the main operations area and ask Paige where he was. Then she knew Matthew had left with Owen.

She didn't know when Matthew might be back. It could be in the afternoon sometime.

Erica nodded thoughtfully. "Then I'll grab a shower first. I'll need something to change into."

"Yes, Mrs. Huo. I'll only be a moment!" Paige answered with a smile.

When Erica finished bathing and changed into clean clothes, Matthew still hadn't come back yet. She had to call him. "Hi, honey. You busy now?" she asked.

"Yes. What's wrong?" he asked in reply.

"Nothing. I was just wondering. I'll let you get back to work. I know you're busy. Call me back when you're done?" Erica didn't want to interrupt his work, so she didn't tell him what was up right away.

"Yeah. I'll be along shortly."

After hanging up the phone, Erica stowed the drone in Matthew's lounge and went to her studio.

This was where the corporate photographers mainly plied their trade. The company made extensive use of photography and videography used to promote their brands, products and services. Each person had a part to play. Some documented social events. Others specialized in portraits or even head shots. They all created visual content for company newsletters, quarterly reports, and marketing materials.

Erica strolled around the studio. She didn't have to wait long. Matthew called her about ten minutes later.
