chapter 14

Eric plainly said, "I have a condo there."Mrs. Zhang was aghast and almost collapsed. "What!? A condo at least costs a million dollars there. Son, Lucy is right. You really got the wrong address."Although she wondered how could anybody mistake this normal residential area as something even remotely close to Sunshine Meadows. There was a difference akin to heaven and earth.Eric said, "I don't live there anymore. Now, I live here.""...""..."Why!?Mrs. Ziara was close to getting a heart attack.Lucy trembled. "Boss. How could you leave your awesome condo at the Sunshine Meadows and come...here?"Eric was silent. He impassively stared at her for a long time."I don't know."Lucy blinked her eyes.What kind of answer is that? Don't people usually know why they move out?"Is there some repair work going on?""No.""Did your house get burnt by the fire?""No.""Did it get drowned by the water?""No.""Did an earthquake crumble it into pieces?""No.""Did anybody get murdered there and so it is under police custody?""No.""Is your house haunted?""No.""Then, boss why did you come to live here?""I don't know. I felt like it. I don't know why."Lucy found it increasingly difficult to understand this man.My Godly handsome prince is really one strange man indeed. Maybe rich CEOs have some weird quirks in them.But, it's true! My impossible dream became true! Forget about the reason. I can see him every day now! My Godly handsome prince will be my next-door neighbor! Thank you, God!Mrs. Ziara could clearly see the imaginary flowers blooming around her."Lucy. Enough with your questions. Let the young man shift all his things inside and settle down."Oops.Lucy raised her hand. "Boss! Since we are going to be neighbors, don't hesitate to ask me for any help. I will show you around the area and the best places to buy lots of stuff."Eric stared at her brightened face and the million-dollar smile on her lips. For the first time, he couldn't understand his own thoughts."Hm."---After all the stuff was moved at lighting speed, Wei sat down on his couch. His phone buzzed with a call."Boss!" Frank's crying voice came from the other side. "Boss, we have time. How about we move back the stuff to Sunshine Meadows?"Frank got the shock of his life when Wei suddenly told him to buy a house in the apartment where Lucy lived. Specifically, the house beside Lucy's."B-Boss, why buy a house there?"Eric glanced at him. "To live there."It was as if a thunderbolt struck him and burned him into a crisp."Boss, you live at Sunshine Meadows.""I don't want to live there anymore."Frank was aghast. "Boss, what are you saying? Lucy Hale lives in just a normal apartment complex for middle-class residents. You are the CEO of EW Industries."Eric frowned. "I can afford a house there.""..."That's not even the point! You can afford a hundred such apartment complexes and even more!"Boss, how can you live there? They are practically peasants in front of you.""So?"At least you don't deny that they are peasants, he nodded in appreciation."Why do you want to live there? You have such a lovely condo. Life in such meager homes is too difficult. How can you live in a small and cheap house? If you are bored of Sunshine Meadows, I will look for a better home, even more superior to Sunshine Meadows!"Eric pursed his lips. "I want to live where she does."Frank was dumbfounded."Boss, you just met Lucy Hale today. Why do you want to suddenly live at her apartment?"Eric stared at his assistant and he couldn't come up with an answer."I don't know."
