True Love Waits novel Chapter 1327

"I know. You can leave now. I have something else to do, and then I'll go home!" Erica said a bit harshly. She wasn't in a good mood.

Kaitlyn nodded and answered, "Okay, I'll go change my clothes!"

After Kaitlyn left the studio, Erica took out the cellphone from her pocket and scrolled through the messages she had exchanged with Matthew. The last one was from over ten days ago. It was a short text from him—"Hmm."

They hadn't sent any more messages since then.

All of a sudden, a terrible thought popped into her head. Although Debbie had told her that Matthew was on a business trip in M Country, she couldn't help wondering if he had been with Phoebe all these days.

However, as soon as the thought came, she shook her head. It was impossible! She must be imagining things.

She didn't know whether Phoebe had given the ten million to Matthew or not, but if she hadn't heard Kaitlyn answering the phone today, she wouldn't have considered asking Matthew about it.

After all, she trusted him and had no reason to doubt that he would accept the money from Phoebe.

Yet now, she wasn't so sure about it anymore.

With so many conflicting thoughts occupying her mind, she pressed the video call button immediately to speak to Matthew.

It took a long time for the video call to connect, but when it did, a woman's face came into the screen. Erica's heart sank as the other woman smiled at her. "Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo is in a meeting. He didn't take his phone with him. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Who are you?" Erica asked.

"Mrs. Huo, I'm Mr. Huo's secretary, Ana."

'His secretary? Ana?' Erica stared at the beautiful female secretary on the screen for a while. Neither of them said anything. However, Ana kept smiling as she waited for her orders.

Erica still didn't understand why Matthew would hand over his private phone to his secretary. This wasn't usual of him. "Where is this meeting taking place?"

"In the hotel's conference room. I'm at Mr. Huo's room to sort out some files."

'Is the secretary in Matthew's room now?' Erica grew more and more uncomfortable. "Give him the phone, I want to speak to him," she demanded.

Ana hesitated for a moment. "Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo is in the middle of a meeting. It's a very important one. None of the attendants have their phones with them. If it's not something urgent, I'll ask Mr. Huo to call you back after the meeting is over."

'She'll ask my husband to call me back? Who on earth does she think she is?' Erica shook her head emotionlessly. "I want to speak to him now." She had serious suspicions that Ana was covering for Matthew. She had never seen him leaving his private cellphone behind to attend a meeting, not to mention with a secretary.

At least, in Y City, the same had never happened to Paige or Owen. Was this secretary that she had never seen more capable than the other two assistants? If so, why hadn't Matthew brought her to work in the headquarters?

"Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo really can't answer the phone now." Ana was starting to realize that the CEO's wife was a little unreasonable and didn't quite know when to quit.

Noticing the hesitating look on the secretary's face, Erica swallowed her next words. Maybe Matthew really couldn't answer the phone at the moment. She didn't insist any longer. "Okay. Just forget it." Whether he would call her back or not, it didn't matter. In the end, she didn't have anything important to tell him anyway.

"Okay, bye, Mrs. Huo!" Erica then pressed the button to end the video call.

Putting her phone away, she shouted to Hyatt, who had been silently taking photos of a vase nearby, "Let's go, Hyatt!"

"Okay, I'm coming!" Hyatt quickly put the vase back to where it belonged before he followed Erica.

The moment Erica stepped outside the studio, the bodyguard immediately walked over her and greeted, "Mrs. Huo!"

Erica nodded. "Call the driver. I'm heading back home."

"Didn't you have a shooting for this afternoon?" he asked curiously. That same morning, he had heard her making arrangements for it.
