Hyatt thought about it and said, "No, thanks. I'll take the pictures with my camera for now. If it doesn't work, I'll borrow your lens." Erica's camera lenses were very expensive. If he broke any one of them, it would cost him a fortune to compensate, which he couldn't afford.
"Okay, then!"
After class, Erica messaged Matthew on WeChat. "Matthew, can I borrow something from you?"
She received his reply in no time. But the message confused her. "I'll give you a chance to ask that again."
She frowned at her phone. 'What? Why does he want me to repeat it? Did he delete the message by accident or something?' Erica wondered. 'Fine, whatever.' She copy-pasted the same text and sent it to him again.
Matthew sighed when he read it. Women could be extremely smart when they wanted to be, and at other times, they were just blatantly stupid. "You don't need to 'borrow' anything from me. Don't say that again."
"Oh!" 'That's what he meant!' She texted, "Ha-ha! Matthew, may I use something of yours?"
Matthew replied, "Try again."
'Are you serious? What the heck?' Erica was losing her patience. She didn't use "borrow" this time. What was wrong now? "You just don't want me to use your stuff, right?" she texted.
Matthew exhaled. "Come to the company right now. I'll personally teach you how to talk to me from now on!"
Seeing his message, Erica pouted. 'Why go to all the trouble?'
But she was missing him anyway, so she packed up and headed to ZL Group.
After texting Erica, Matthew threw a glance at the man who was casually sitting on his office sofa. He growled, "Leave now! My wife is coming to see me."
Sheffield sat up straight and frowned at his brother-in-law. "What? Why should I leave? Is it that embarrassing for you to be seen with me?" he asked with a smirk.
"Yes, it is."
"Ah! I see. You just want to get rid of me so that you can be alone with your wife! Ha-ha!"
Matthew was well aware that Sheffield already knew his true feelings for Erica. There was no reason to hide his intentions anymore. "Yeah, that's right. So, get out of here now!"
"Okay, okay!" Sheffield got up and said, "You are such a weirdo." He straightened his clothes and continued, "You strongly disagreed when Dad suggested that you marry Erica. That was good acting, I must say!"
"Have you forgotten how it feels to kneel on the keyboard lately?" Matthew asked, raising his eyebrow
eld and Matthew fighting, she threw down her camera and rushed over. "Sheffield, stop!"
Regardless of the fierce punching and kicking going on between them, she rushed over and stood in front of Matthew. "Sheffield, don't bully my husband!" Erica gasped when she saw that Sheffield's fist was about to hit her face. She closed her eyes in horror. "Ah! Don't hit me either!"
Sheffield's fist stopped a few centimeters away from the tip of her nose, while Matthew stood leisurely behind her, enjoying the feeling of being protected by his wife.
Erica slowly opened one of her eyes and saw the fist in front of her. She thought that Sheffield was about to hit her, so she yelled, "Sheffield, show some mercy. That could hurt!"
She was fully aware that she could never beat Sheffield. Otherwise she would have taken a different course of action!
The woman started yelling at the top of her voice.
Sheffield and Matthew were rendered speechless.
Matthew grabbed her and held her in his arms. "Honey, it's all right."
Sheffield withdrew his fist and straightened his clothes. "We fought for a while, but I didn't get any advantage over him! What a waste of time!"
They were evenly matched.
Erica raised her head from inside Matthew's arms and glared at Sheffield with dissatisfaction. "Sheffield, I know you are good at Kung Fu, but you really shouldn't bully your brother-in-law!"
Sheffield was slightly stunned and tried to explain, "No, Rika. I didn't bully him..."
An evil smile appeared on Matthew's face. He touched his chest, looking very hurt. "Rika, it's okay. Let him go."
