I kept quiet, thinking I did something wrong again. So I expected him to tell me my mistake, but instead
he asked, “Are you divorced, Ms. Hawkins?”
“No.” I looked at him confused. Why is he asking this?
“So you are a married woman. If that’s the case, shouldn’t you hold back a bit?”
“Did I do something wrong, Mr. Walker?”
“Don’t you know what you did wrong? Alright, I’ll remind you then. Why are you hanging out with single All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
men every day?”
“When did I do this, President Walker?”
“This morning. You came with Kevin, and the two of you seemed really close at lunch. I am wrong?”
“We weren’t being intimate with each other. Jenny was there, so she can prove it.”
“Don’t try to escape. Jenny is just a ruse. She is an innocent lady, prone to being used by the likes of
you.”
Wow, her imagination is wild. He’s making me sound like someone who would use Jenny so I could flirt
with Kevin publicly. D*mn it. “You better watch what you say, President Walker.”
“Still denying? Kevin’s girlfriend came here to complain that someone seduced her boyfriend.”
“Bullshit. How can she say that?” I was livid. “I want to see his girlfriend, President Walker.”
“Whereby?”
“To explain things. I didn’t seduce Kevin. He talked to me first and gave me a ride because he saw me
waiting for a taxi in front of the hospital.”
“That is all?”
“Course is.”
“All good. I’ll look into that, but come with me during lunch from now on. I don’t want that kind of rumor
circulating again.”
What? Is he doubting me? That hurts. “I would never seduce anyone, President Walker.”
“Yes I trust you. My order is for insurance only. We have a lot of male employees here. If they all come
to talk to you, we’ll have dozens of angry girlfriends on our doorstep. It will not be good for our image.”
“I’ll have lunch at an off-site restaurant then.” I still felt unfair.
“Why? We just hired a chef from Sichuan. You can eat all the food you want from now on, you lucky
girl.”
He looked warm and when I looked up he was smiling. Unexpectedly, Eric seemed approachable in
this way. “Why did you hire a chef from Sichuan? Don’t you hate spicy things?” I asked.
“Yes, but my clients love it. I have to think for them.” He then took out a box of chocolate. “Why the long
face? Here, take it.” I didn’t go get it, so he stuck it in my hand. “It’s hazelnut chocolate. Your favorite.”
I was surprised. How did he know I like hazelnut chocolate?
“Go back to work now. And don’t forget to come over for dinner tonight.”
I have some business at home, President Walker. It may be impossible for me to go.”

Eric’s face fell when he heard that.
