Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 376

Chapter 376

Both Eric and Jolene were surprised by my presence. When Eric strode off the elevator, Jolene smiled

at me without following. Instead, she dismissed him in a geile tone. “I’m leaving now,

Mr. Walker. Goodbye!”

“See you!” he responded in kind, which sounded different from how he used to talk to me.

Screw this! You two are idiots! The blood inside me was boiling as I hurried to the bathroom.

After washing my face in the bathroom to calm myself down, I sat back down in my office. It was then

that I saw a pop-up message at the bottom of my computer screen that said, “Come to my office for a

minute!”

How dare he summon me? Doesn’t he feel embarrassed?! Did he assume I wouldn’t have the courage

to question his decision? Upon consideration, I realized how naive I was, for not only did I not put my

guard up after falling into a trap Carson had set, but I had come to trust another man so it was a given

that I would. in another trap. I rubbed my face which was rigid with anger before putting on a more

pleasant expression as I walked into Eric’s office.

As soon as I walked into his office. I was greeted by his smiling face which struck me as somewhat

guilty. He even had the audacity to ask, “Why did you leave in such a hurry!”

“I needed to use the bathroom!” I answered him with a blank look on my face.

Such an answer earned me an inquiring look from him. “Are you feeling upset?”

“No, President Walker. Why did you summon me?” I chose to address him using his title.

A frown formed on his face as he said, “I checked the blueprint you sent me, which I think is

excellent. Send it to your contractor and have them start working on it.”

“All good! I will start right away!” I maintained an upright posture as I answered him, as I awaited his

next order.

However, all he did was stare at me in silence. After a long period of time, I couldn’t bear the silence

any longer. *President Walker, I will take my leave if there is nothing more to be said.”

“Hold on, there’s something I need to tell you,” said Eric as he turned the pen over in his hand. “You’re

going to have to work overtime tonight.”

“What? Why should I?” I questioned.

“Have you forgotten that you haven’t sent the blueprint to the sky garden yet?” With an arch of his

brow, he looked at me. I, of course, would not have forgotten about it, but I was no longer motivated to

design. While I used to bend to his will to enlist his help in dealing with Jolene, I decided I no longer

needed to entertain him after his act of betrayal.

I never needed money, nor was I so excited about my work as a designer. If he was going to work with

Jolene, I decided I should quit so he could work with her on all of her projects, while I could just step

down. “I’m sorry, President Walker. I couldn’t finish the hanging garden project because I was busy, so

please find someone else to complete it.”

“Why that? Didn’t we agree that you would be the designer?”

“All there was was a verbal exchange that wasn’t followed up with a written contract, so I assumed it

was a mere suggestion, which I didn’t take seriously.”

“You mean you would like to sign a contract with me?” With a cold stare, he looked at me.

“No. All I said was I don’t have time, so I couldn’t finish the project.”

“Lilian, are you holding a grudge against me?”

“I wouldn’t dare. Please allow me to leave if there is nothing more to say, President Walker.”

“Did I allow you to leave?”
