chapter 148

"I will. Now tell me."Mike cursed and got up. "Don't beat around the bush and come to the point."Eric crisply recalled the events to him. Mike raised his brow in amusement. "That woman could be shy too? I thought if she kissed you, she would be ready to jump on the bed with you last night."Eric lowered his gaze.He chuckled. "So I guess she is still a maiden at heart. A shameless maiden. But she lied.""Yes.""Man, you fucked up.""How?""What? Maybe she found you too aggressive by your 'sensual dance' and so she couldn't take it."Eric blankly said, "You said to roll in sheets with her.""Without her consent? Man, you are a beast! Haha!""Of course not," he sincerely said. "I will never do something that she wouldn't want."Mike rolled his eyes. "That was your job to woo her BEFORE rolling in the sheets with her. You are so dumb." Eric tilted his head. "Woo her?"He had never heard of that term. This was new to him once again.Mike lazily propped his arm on the bed and popped a piece of grape in his mouth. "Do you think a woman would agree to sleep with you just because you want to? Old-fashioned and worthless it is, but you have to win her heart to make her give her body to you."Eric was in deep thought. Maybe Lucy got afraid and panicked by his sudden advances, so she ran to Mike's side. That's why she lied.So it was my mistake. I scared her.The corner of his lips drew downwards. He didn't like scaring his woman away.I will rectify my mistake, he seriously nodded to himself."How to woo her?""Find that out yourself! I am not gonna spoon feed you everything!"He abruptly cut the call.Eric got his answer to one question but was left with thousands of questions at the same time.How to woo Lucy?---At the main Wilson residence, the atmosphere was still and suffocating as if it was someone's funeral. But in contrast to the dark atmosphere, everybody gathered to talk about Eric and kathy's engagement which was supposed to be a happy event.Kathy gracefully sat between her parents. She lowered her head, feeling shy. Her mother, kate Taylor sat on her left while her father, Marko Taylor was to her right.Ahhh I am so excited!She was constantly eyeing the door to expect Eric to come any moment. She was dreaming for this moment for so long and now it was finally here.With the ceremony announced, I will be officially Eric's fiance! I cannot wait!The Old Madam was majestically seated on her royal chair. She was tapping her finger on the armrest in impatience. She coldly glanced at Frank who respectfully stood at a distance. Inwardly, he was panicking like hell."I hate lateness."As the Old Madam spoke, a deadly silence reigned over the luxurious living room. She clearly indicated that she was mad about how Eric had still not arrived. The other family members were quietly watching the scene unfold. Making the Old Madam angry was never a good choice."I think I was quite clear in my demand."Frank straightened up. "Old Madam. Apologies. But the Boss wouldn't be able to be present on this occasion."
