chapter 103

Lucy sheepishly grinned. "Hahaha. Thank you, Boss! Phew. I thought the store would close down by the time I finished choosing the trolley."Eric tilted his head. "The store won't close. You can take your time."She blinked her eyes. "It closes at ten PM.""It won't close as long as I am here.""Why?""Because I say that."Eric left it at that.Who would dare oppose the Mafia King?"..."Being a CEO has its benefits huh…As they stepped inside, they instantly became the center of attention.People murmured as they were stunned to see such a beautiful couple. Especially the women. They couldn't tear their eyes off the Godly handsome Eric.Lucy fumed upon seeing the women's dreamy eyes feasting on him.Shoo! Shoo! I have already claimed myself as his future girlfriend. Go somewhere else! Don't eye my innocent Boss.Eric took the trolley from her. "Let's go.""Ah Boss I will hold the trolley," she quickly said."No. I will hold it," he stubbornly said.Rule no 1. The man should hold the trolley."Okay. Hmm... Let's go over to that section."It was a personal care section with all the toiletries stuff. Lucy quickly dumped some soaps and creams into the trolley."Boss, which soap do you use?""Whatever you use.""Really? Okay.""Which toothpaste brand?""Whatever you use.""Which cream?""Whatever you use.""Which shampoo?""Whatever you use.""..."Lucy asked, "Boss, do you use exactly the same products like mine?""I never used them before," he truthfully stated."Ah? So why are you choosing the same as mine?""Because I only want to use the things that you use. Your choice is my choice."Her heart almost leaped out of her chest by his sudden declaration. She looked at him, feeling speechless.His sincere words coupled with that serious gaze were so innocent that she instantly melted like butter.Boss, what are you doing innocently flirting like that out of the blue?She couldn't hide the blush on her cheeks and she quickly lowered her head, feeling shy. Those simple words bloomed her heart in an inexplicable joy.She mumbled. "Boss you will make me fall for you more and more.""Hm?" He tilted his head."*Ahem* Boss, don't attack me like that. I will die from heart failure," she sobbed.If Boss doesn't understand feelings, then how is he so adept in flirting?Eric widened his eyes. "I-I didn't attack you," he stammered and panicked. He grabbed her and anxiously checked on her. "Did I hurt you anywhere? Did I hit you anywhere?"Lucy was stunned. "Boss, I didn't mean it literally.""You didn't?" He cautiously questioned while still checking on her from head to toe."No...I meant…" she furiously blushed, "you s-said that my choice is yours…"Eric said, "I said the truth."Her face felt even hotter than before.Even the air conditioning couldn't help her calm down. She cleared her throat. "L-let's head to the next section!""En."Lucy and Eric walked away while having no idea that a certain man was eyeing them the whole time. His phone rang.A woman's soft voice came from the other end, softening that man's cold gaze. "Did you see Eric?""En.""So will you meet him?" There was slight unease in her voice."I will not meet him.""Oh…" her voice turned downcast."I will meet the woman he came with."
