chapter 132

Eric smoothly chimed in. "Indeed. It's not good for children's health if they don't eat on time."You!Lucy agreed. "Of course! Ben needs to have his food now. You helped me plenty so now we can handle the rest," she grinned.Ben got more distressed. "No! I want to stay here!"Mrs. Ziara quickly held his hand. "Don't be so stubborn! Let's go, Ben," she gulped as she eyed Eric ,"Haha...I apologize if he caused any trouble."Eric's lack of comment convinced her that an apology wasn't enough. His sharp gaze clearly expressed how he was a huge bother.Mrs. Ziara didn't dare stay any longer and quickly left with Ben.Just you wait, evil capitalist! I will have my revenge!Lucy got up. "Boss, so let's continue?"Eric raised his brow and watched her all eager and happy. He slowly stepped towards her, making Lucy wonder. Eric grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. His finger brushed along the lock of her hair, hovering in front of her cheek.Lucy froze.Ah? Ah? Ah? What is Boss doing?"Will I get my attention now?" He tilted his head as he twirled his finger and entangled the lock around it. "I was all alone, you see…"Normally, Eric would have dotingly smiled at her and continued with the decoration in peace. His biggest hurdle was gone.But looking at how Lucy seemed unaffected by Ben's intervention and even as she enjoyed it without Eric, he couldn't let it go.Something as teasing wasn't what Eric ever did. He never felt the need to tease someone because he didn't have that person in his life that could make him want to have a little fun that way. He didn't even know what it meant.But right now, that feeling just naturally surged in him as if he wanted to bully Lucy just a little bit. Since he was troubled all this time feeling left out, he now wanted to trouble Lucy too.Just a little bit though.Lucy thought that she was hallucinating.Why does the Boss look so different? And what is with this position!?Eric tugged the lock of her hair, snapping her out. "You didn't answer me," His husky voice teasing her sent shivers down her spine. His thumb then gently touched the corner of her lips, making her beautiful eyelashes tremble. "It was supposed to be us decorating the house. Only the two of us."Lucy gulped. There was a hint of playful accusation in his tone."Why did you let him in here?"His penetrating gaze boring into hers left her speechless. She couldn't find her words to retort. "That he-he seemed eager to help…""Hmnnn…"Eric leaned in until their noses bumped. With slow deliberation, he put the lock of her hair behind her ear that diminished any distance left between them. With her blushing face in clear view, he inspected her every inch as she averted her gaze. But Eric pinched her jaw and forced her to look at him, much to her embarrassment.I cannot take this anymore! Lucy internally was running around back and forth, banging her head."Boss…"Gathering her courage, she lifted her head to meet his eyes and the silent moment between them heightened with tension drew her towards him. She forgot to breathe as his playful expression, tugging his lips in amusement made her go into a trance.From the back of her ear, his hand slowly shifted to hold her cheek in the warmth of his palm. The touch of his fingers on her cheek made her jolt. Their breaths mixed as he parted his lips to say, "He also calls you just Lucy."Visit and read more novel to help us update chapter quickly.
