I was surprised, but he just kissed me on the cheek. I looked at him in disbelief, my eyes wide.
“I told you my intentions, and you didn’t say no, so I assumed you had no objections,” Eric said matter-
of-factly. Crazy, I raised my hand and turned it towards his face, but he deftly grabbed my hand. “If you
dare hit me today, I will kill you in the elevator!” His voice was no longer laced with joy, but a touch of
cold.
I threw daggers at him, but I didn’t dare make another move. For some reason, I feel like he’s actually
going to do what he’s threatened.
When the elevator stopped, Eric was back to his usual chivalrous and charming self, even keeping a
certain distance as we walked. Stifling my anger, I followed him to the parking lot, when Georgie’s eyes

he has some ulterior motive for doing business with me this time.”
“He’s asking you to take care of the project for the five-star hotel and the roof garden. It seems he is
trying to coerce me into collaborating with him for his own good.”
“Father, you don’t need to consider me. Just prioritize the company’s interests,” I said hastily.
“I know. I’m just warning you. It will be good for our company to collaborate with him, but I find it quite
