Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife

Noreen invited Erica out to coffee. Since they weren't friends, Erica doubted her intentions. 'That's strange. She must have some kind of ulterior motive. What's she up to?' Erica thought for a bit. She shook her head decisively. "I'm sorry. ZL Group owns too many coffee shops as it is, most of them mediocre. Whenever Matthew is at home with me, he grinds the beans so that I can have a fresh cup. I'm really not in the mood for coffee right now.

Even thinking about going out to the average cafe makes me hurl!" Noreen was furious. 'Listen to her! She's literally bragging about her rich husband!' Despite that, she continued, "Coffee not your thing? No problem! There's a teahouse nearby..."

"No. my husband owns tons of tea factories. After the tea is picked and packed, the bags of tea leaves are piled high like mountains in our warehouses. I never want for tea. But I feel bad for you, Miss Xia. You have to go to a public place like a teahouse to drink tea? I would have thought a famous actress like yourself wouldn't have to do that. How about this? Since you've been so nice to me, I'll ask someone to send you a few pounds of our finest tea, so you can see how the other half lives," Erica offered.

Flames of fury were burning in Noreen's eyes. "Honestly, you're just a terrible bitch!"

"What? A bitch? Moi? Miss Xia, why are you acting like this?" Erica said, pretending to be hurt. "I offered you some of our best tea, and you call me names? Wow! Just—wow. I'm not sure what bug crawled in your panties, but that's no reason to take it out on me!"

"Erica Li!" Noreen was so angry she forgot that she was a public figure. Her rep could be damaged by losing it like this. She strode over and raised her hand to slap Erica.

But before she could do anything, a bodyguard came out, gripped Noreen's wrist tightly and threw her to the ground. He was anything but gentle.

Noreen fell to the ground awkwardly, and her eyes were full of defiance. "Erica Li, you'll pay for humiliating me like this! I'll make your life a living hell!"

Erica walked past the bodyguards, squatted down and looked at her with a smug grin. "Oooh, I'm shaking in my boots, Aunt Noreen. Don't worry. After we're done here, we're done, period. Find another photographer. Maybe they'll be okay with being slapped around."

Then she stood up and got into the car.

After the car left, her agent helped Noreen up.

Looking at the car zooming away in the distance, she took out her cell phone and dialed a number. "Hey, it's me. I messed with Erica just now. She shouldn't suspect a thing."
