Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 169

You think I wanted to come? If President Smith hadn’t forced me, I wouldn’t have come to be scolded

by you! Silently, I grumbled in my heart, and there was contempt on my face.

Eric fixed his gaze on my furious face. “I can’t just listen to your side of the story. I have to investigate

further before making

a decision. Though his words were solemn, his tone was softer than before.

Knowing that he was trying to find a way out, I replied: “Mr. Walker, now that I have explained the

matter clearly, may I leave now?”

“As you wish. No one is holding you!” Eric looked at me coldly.

When I turned and took two steps, Eric’s chuckle came from behind. “Out the door if you dare, Lilian

Hawkins!”

“Mr. Walker, do you still have any requests for me?”

“I’m starving and I need you to come with me!”

Although he was trying to say something nice, the words sounded so uncomfortable when they came

out of his mouth. When I was about to reject him, he added, “I forgive you if you eat with me.”

I went to the staff canteen with Eric. It was huge and it was lunch time so there were a lot of people

inside. The moment I appeared with Eric, we became the center of attention.

But luckily, Eric had his own private dining room so I could avoid being scrutinized like a monster.

When the waiter passed the menu to Eric, he pushed it in front of me. “You can ask.”

Looking at the menu, I was struck by the dazzling array of dishes listed on it. Swallowing hard, I

thought, Eric is really living the luxurious life! This menu can definitely compete with one from a five star

restaurant!

Without shame, I ordered some of my favorite dishes. The plates arrived very quickly and Eric politely

invited me to eat, but instead of returning his hospitality, I grabbed the chopsticks and started to gobble

the food down. It seemed like the chef here was very skilled because all the dishes were so delicious.

Seeing the way I was eating, Eric let out a chuckle, “I didn’t know a skinny person like you could eat so

well.”

That was a joke if uttered by someone close to me, but I definitely wasn’t close to him. Unconsciously, I

slowed

my pace.

Perhaps spooked by my appetite, Eric put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites. He was looking

at me constantly. leaving me so clumsy I had no choice but to drop my chopsticks.

“Why did you stop?” Eric questioned when he saw my behavior.

“I finished.”

“Right after I said you can eat, do you stop eating?”

“Mr. Walker, are you praising me or are you making fun of me?”

“I’m praising you! Isn’t it good for a girl to eat so well?”

Instantly, I was upset. Do people praise others like that? It seems more mockery! Rising, instead of

fussing with him, I asked, “Mr. Walker, do you still want to eat? If you don’t, I think we should leave.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Clear!” Eric got up immediately.

I marched two steps forward and suddenly something gushed from my lower body. Stopping suddenly,

I thought: Oh God! Don’t tell me… I’m so doomed! Did my period just come? Argh, how embarrassing!

Seeing that I stopped moving, Eric gave me a strange look. “Why aren’t you walking?”

“I… I…” My face was turning red and I didn’t know how I was supposed to tell him.
