Chapter 154
The driver just nodded. Approximately an hour later, the car finally stopped in front of a traditional
Chinese-style house. So, I got out of the car with the documents in hand and walked to the door to
press the bell. Moments later, the door opened quickly – Eric’s bodyguard, Georgie, was the one who
opened the door. So it was clear that the person I would meet today was Eric. Georgie waved at me
with an indifferent expression and gestured for me to follow.
The house was huge. You couldn’t see it from the outside, but once inside, the size of the place blew
me away. It had its own private swimming pool and flower garden. After walking along the cobbled path
that cut through the patio, we finally reached the living room. Georgie led me to the living room door
and gestured for me to enter before turning and leaving.
As I walked into the living room, I saw Eric, dressed in casual clothes, sitting on the couch and flipping
through a newspaper. The warm morning sun shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling curtains,
bathing his entire body in a golden glow. The sight of him was as beautiful as a painting – so much so
that I forgot to walk. I stood there expressionless as I stared at him in a daze.
After a while, Eric finally lifted his head from the newspaper. When he saw me standing in the doorway,
he smiled and patted the sofa next to him, indicating that I should sit down. So I went to him and
handed him the document folder. Opening the folder, he took out the documents and looked through
them.
The room was very quiet and only the soft rustling of the pages could be heard. Also, we were sitting so
close to each other that I could smell her pleasant scent. Then, the inexplicable nervousness in my
heart surged again. Looking around at the decor in the room, I tried to calm myself. In the end, I
couldn’t help but stare at him. He was really handsome – even his side profile was mouth-wateringly
beautiful. I secretly gulped as I admired
his appearance.
As if sensing my gaze, he looked up from the documents and looked at me with a smile. “I forgot to
serve you a drink.”
“I-I’m not thirsty.” Unfortunately, I was stuttering again.
He didn’t say anything as he placed the documents on the table and walked into the kitchen. Taking the
opportunity, I looked at the document on the table and the words ‘Acquisition Agreement’ jumped out at
me. So the news Jessica gave me wasn’t unfounded after all. Eric may very well become my employer
in the future. I suddenly thought of the female colleagues at the company who were completely
obsessed with him. If they knew Eric was going to be their new boss, would they collectively scream
with joy?
As my imagination ran wild, Eric came out of the kitchen holding an unidentifiable glass of fruit
juice. Handing me the juice, he explained: “There is only plain water or this is in the kitchen.”
“Thanks.” I took the fruit juice from him and put it in front of me.
Then he looked at me strangely. “Aren’t you going to drink?”
His
gaze
made me very uncomfortable. So I had no choice but to pick up the glass and take a sip. The fruit juice Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
had a strange taste – it tasted like a bunch of random fruit mixed in with it. That’s weird; I can’t believe
a guy like Eric would drink something as weird as that. Although I didn’t like the taste of the juice, he
still watched me intently. Thus, I had no choice but to finish the entire glass.
When Eric saw that I had finished the entire cup, he asked, “Do you want more?”
