True Love Waits novel Chapter 1133

Jarvis was a bit hesitant. After all, he didn't want to go against his boss's order. "Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo told me before that you won't be boarding at school. Would you mind giving him a call to discuss this matter with him?" he asked.

"All right!" Erica asked Jarvis to stay just for formalities as she left the principal's office to make a phone call to Matthew.

This was actually the first time that Erica had ever called him. She had been contacting him by sending messages before. However, the matter was quite urgent this time. What if, for some reason, he couldn't read the message in time?

After just a few rings, the call was picked up. "Hello." She heard Matthew's voice coming from the other end of the line.

The man's low and captivating voice made Erica's heart skip a beat. After clearing her throat, she said, "Well, I'm at school right now and I was thinking of boarding, but Jarvis told me you wouldn't allow it."

"You're planning to board at school?" he asked.

"Yes!"

"Come to my office once you are done with the formalities."

"What? Why?" Erica flatly asked in confusion.

In a rather calm tone, he replied, "I need to discuss this matter with you in person."

'Huh? Would that really be necessary? I don't think it is, ' she thought to herself. "I don't want to bother you while you're at work. I just want to board at school," she insisted.

"Let's just talk about it when you get here." With that, Matthew hung up the phone, leaving her no chance to refuse.

Erica helplessly rolled her eyes. 'He is so bossy! Why does he have to be so unreasonable?!'

After going through all the procedures, Erica asked Jarvis to take her to Matthew's company. At that moment, she was very eager to fight for her freedom.

At the ZL Group

Someone had just informed the employees at the reception desk that the CEO's wife was on the way and should be received and escorted to the CEO's office.

When Erica arrived at the ZL Group, two employees gave her a warm welcome and accompanied her to the CEO's office.

However, when Erica entered the CEO's office, Matthew was nowhere to be found. Instead, she saw Britney Ouyang, his assistant, who served her a cup of tea with a smile. Since Matthew wasn't there yet, she gladly accepted it and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Huo. Mr. Huo should be here any minute now. Please take a seat as you wait for him."

"Okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome, Mrs. Huo. Then, I'll be heading out first." Upon saying that, she left the room with a gentle smile on her face.

As soon as the assistant was gone, Erica breathed a sigh of relief. Being the wife of the CEO wasn't so bad. When she went from the company's gate to the CEO's office, all of the employees were very nice to her.

As she was taking a sip of tea, she saw Matthew enter the office.

Erica quickly straightened herself up and greeted him, "I'm here, Matthew!"

"Hmm." Casting a glance at her, he simply walked straight to his desk without saying anything else.

'Hmm? Is that it? He was the one who asked me to come here!'

Seeing this, Erica knew she had to take the initiative. So, she stood up and walked over to the desk. "Matthew, I want to board at school." She told him in person what she wanted one more time.

"That's out of the question!" he briefly replied.

'What? Didn't he say that we should discuss it face to face? Yet now that I'm here, he's saying it's impossible. Is he messing with me?' Trying her best to hold back her anger, Erica said, "I think you should respect my opinion. What do you say?"

"That's right. I am going to respect your opinion on everything else except this one!" Matthew answered firmly.

His indifference left Erica feeling so irritated. Because of this, she raised her voice and almost slammed her hand against the desk. "And why is that?"

"What if anything happens to you while you're at school? How am I supposed to face your mom and dad?" he asked in response.

"Nothing's going to happen. I will be a good girl and I won't go anywhere! I will just stay at school at all times!" she protested.
