chapter 152

Frank froze. He blinked his eyes in disbelief. "Master, please. You have to-""Silence!" Felix glared at him. "He isn't done talking yet. Is that how I have trained you to serve the Willson family?"Frank stiffened and bowed. "...My apologies."Elvis stared at Eric's assistant. There was silence for a long time."Frank."He straightened up. "Yes!""You know what kind of family is the Willson Family. One doesn't just simply live in this family."Silence."One tries to survive in this family every day."His gaze dimmed.Of course, I know that. I have worked with Boss for years now. I know how difficult it could get here.He slowly nodded."Eric might like her. She might like him back too," he quietly said, "but are their feelings strong enough to challenge the Old Madam?"He pursed his lips."It's not about the question of me helping you or not," Elvis calmly said. "It's about Eric. Is he ready to fight against the Old Madam? It's about Lucy Hale as well. Does she wish to entangle herself once she knows who and what she would be facing? She doesn't know about our family at all. Have you thought about if she wants to get into this struggle?"Elvis narrowed his eyes."She is a good woman. I admit that."Frank looked at him."But is she strong enough to be the Mafia King's pillar?"Frank had no answer.He continued. "I had to fight when I wanted to marry Mary."He said nothing. Everybody knew the history and why Elvis's relationship with his mother turned so sour."If Eric is following in my footsteps, then he needs to fight for his woman too. And Lucy Hale has to equally support him to get a position in this family. If any one of them stumbles, they and their love would never survive in this family."---Ever since Eric realized that he needs to woo Lucy, he started his research just like he did for finding out about sex. Mike refused to give him any tip so he turned to Google.He got a bunch of search results like…Get her your undivided attention. No checking texts and emails when your woman is talking.Eric nodded.I always attentively listen to her.Notice her likes and dislikes. It is important to mentally make notes of what your partner likes and surprise her with those things to make her feel very happy.Eric nodded again.Lucy likes violet. She doesn't like cooking and organizing things.He read the last line again. Surprise her with those things…He tilted his head. "Something violet?"Eric searched all the things he could get in the violet shade and sincerely made a checklist.The third was to make her feel special. Make an effort to celebrate small events like the first time you met to make her feel cherished.The first time we met…Eric realized that next Friday will complete one month since they met and he moved in to live next to her apartment. His robotic face beamed and his gaze softened."It has been almost one month since we met."In his heart, he wished for these days to continue forever. He quickly added in his checklist.Celebrate that day with Lucy.Next was to be chivalrous. Be polite, open doors, walk on the traffic side of the road, and escort her home. The woman can do these things herself too, but she will feel good to know that her partner is looking out for her.Eric nodded."From tomorrow, I will drop Lucy college and then back home."And the last he read was to be genuine and honest. Don't lie to her. Don't pretend. Don't keep any secrets from her. Always be honest with her.Eric froze. His fingers paused. His gaze slightly dimmed."I am keeping a secret from her."The fact that he killed Luca Hale weighed heavily on his heart. He clutched the pen hard in his fist."But I cannot tell her this…" he lowered his head, "she will never talk to me again."Eric panicked. "I don't want her to hate me."He had decided to do all the things that he would find here on how to woo a woman. But he couldn't steal himself to tell the truth."I will follow the first four…" he mumbled to himself and nodded.He finalized his notes and felt satisfied.Mission woo Lucy will now commence!---
