chapter 12

This was the first time Lucy was getting so many back-to-back jabs.After the ordeal was finally over, Lucy said, "Thank you so much for everything, Boss. I need to head back now."Eric didn't respond."Boss?"He lowered his gaze. "Hm…""Cool. Guess I will see you next in the office now! I can't wait to join hehe~"As she hopped and left, Eric kept staring at her back.Frank observed this and was genuinely shocked. Usually, he never spared a single glance at other women but he bothered to stay in Lucy's presence for so long and even talk to her without killing her.Basically, this was the first decent conversation Eric had had with a woman."Frank.""Yes, boss.""Do something for me."---Lucy whistled a happy tune as she reached her apartment complex. Once again, she met Mrs. Zaira."Ah, Lucy. You are back. How was your day today?""Aunt Ziara!" Lucy held her hand and twirled with her."Ah, ah, stop! You are making me dizzy.""Hahaha! Well, it's because I am really happy! My presentation went awesome and I got the job too! And not just anywhere. EW Industries! Do you know the CEO is so Godly handsome? He is so kind too. Ah, I am in love, Aunt Ziara…"Mrs. Ziara chuckled. "Is my ditzy Lucy talking about love?""What can I say? Love feels so magical…"She flicked her head. "Idiot. And you just left with an orange juice young lady! Now, you got to have a proper dinner at my house. No ifs and buts."She sheepishly grinned. "Aye, aye Aunt!"Suddenly, they heard a few men coming upstairs and keeping some boxes on the floor in front of a house."What is going on, Aunt?""It's been going on for thirty minutes. I think somebody is moving in next to your apartment."Lucy dreamily said, "How I wish it should be my Godly handsome prince…Ah being his neighbor sounds so romantic..."Then she heard the sound of calm and poise footsteps as that man climbed up the stairs. Their gazes met as he stood in front of her.Lucy stared at him unblinkingly and her brain refused to function. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened in a big O etched with disbelief.She raised her trembling finger towards him."Y-You... What are you doing here G-G-G-Godly hand- I mean Boss?"
