Zoey called the number before she could think about why she had Matthew's number. "Hello."

The man's magnetic voice suddenly rushed into Zoey's ears, as low and pleasant as the sound of a cello.

Zoey's heart seemed to be penetrated by the voice. Her tense emotions suddenly rushed out and she cried, "Matthew, it's so dark here. I'm so scared..."

Matthew felt happy to receive a call from her. But when he heard her choking voice, his face instantly became solemn, he was subtly worried about her. "Tell me, where are you now?"

"I can't get out, I'm..."

Before Zoey could finish speaking, her voice stopped abruptly, and the communication between them was cut off .

Matthew pursed and thought for a while, then without changing his clothes, he grabbed his key and went out. He drove away from the car garage. towards the direction of Zoey's company.

Zoey, who was in the office, stared blankly at the dead phone. The only light source was now dead. The depression and fear of darkness in her heart began to grow.

"It's so dark..." She held her calf and buried her face into her knees to sob. She was extremely helpless.

Zoey had never been so eager to escape from this office like the way she felt at this moment. Every second here was torturing her.

She remembered Matthew. Would he come over to look for her?

It was unlikely for him to come, and it was already so late besides, they didn't know each other very well. They just spent a night together...

For men of high status like Matthew and Samuel, a one-night stand should be very common, and she was the only one who would remember that night.

Zoey's heart slowly sank and she huddled herself into a ball. After what seemed to be an eternity, she seemed to hear someone calling her name.

Zoey almost thought that she had auditory hallucinations. She responded, "I'm here..."

The next second, she heard a loud bang. The office door was kicked open from the outside.

Zoey could not see the man standing at the door clearly in the dim light, but his tall figure carried a cold and unapproachable aura.

"Zoey?"

He called her name, and his voice was as low as the one on the phone. He was slowly releasing his tension.

Zoey froze for half a second and slowly widened her eyes. She didn't expect Matthew to come to her rescue. She couldn't restrain herself, she ran towards him excitedly. However, she stumbled at her feet and fell right into Matthew's arms.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Zoey's tears fell again as soon as she spoke incoherently. She leaned on Matthew's body and refused to let go. She didn't realize at all how intimate their gesture was.

After knowing that she was safe, Matthew was relieved and his solemn look gradually eased. He stretched out his long arm and hugged the girl's petite body. He patted her back lightly with his big hand as if he was pacifying a crying baby.

"It's okay."

His low voice was reassuring, allowing her racing heart to slowly settle down.

After the two of them went downstairs together, Zoey realized that she had been holding Matthew's hand tightly. She was immediately embarrassed and let go. Remembering herself crying in his arms made her even more embarrassed. "Sorry, I... I was too melodramatic."

He probably thought she was frivolous...

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Matthew stared into her eyes; his tone somewhat ambiguous.

"If I'm alone, I'll be scared... Thank you for saving me tonight." Under the moonlight, Zoey discovered that Matthew was wearing home clothes at this time. Presumably, he rushed out from home in a hurry... to look for her?

Thinking of this, Zoey felt a warmth in her heart. "Get in the car." Matthew saw the gratitude in her eyes as if she was looking at an elder. Zoey sensed his sudden displeasure and didn't dare to ask more for fear of provoking him. She obediently got into the back seat of the black Maybach. Then she realized it happened here, her face suddenly flushed.

That night, it was in this car that she shamelessly took the initiative to seduce Matthew when she was drunk... She must have been out of her mind at that time!

Thinking of this, Zoey became restless. As she was about to get out of the car, Matthew took a step ahead of her and sat in.

"Mr. Harris..." Zoey was startled and looked at the man with uneasiness.

Matthew looked at her with a faint smile and a hint of danger. "Zoey, let's take advantage of this opportunity, to settle the score between us?"

He even specially added his mobile number to her contact list, but this girl had no intention of contacting him at all. How could he let it slide ?

Zoey instantly blushed when she heard that. She couldn't look into Matthew's eyes and stammered, "That night... I... I was drunk. It was just an accident..."

"Then?" Matthew got closer quietly with an unexplainable light in his eyes.
