chapter 154

"Open it."Lucy grinned and quickly opened it. Her eyes widened in surprise to find a beautiful pair of violet earrings wrapped in it.She looked at him, stunned. Her lips curved into a beautiful smile. "Boss these earrings are so pretty!"Eric smiled. "It is for you."Lucy asked, "For me?""En. You like violet, right?"She was taken aback. "Eh? How do you know that?""You told me at the time when we went shopping. You like violet, so I bought them for you."Lucy rapidly blinked her eyes. "Ah yes. While choosing the trolley…"She looked down at the beautiful pair of earrings and felt emotional. Her heart surged and overwhelmed in happiness.Eric thought she might misunderstand so he quickly said, "These are not expensive. You don't like things too expensive, right?"That skyrocketed her emotions so much that tears began to stream down her cheeks. The fact that he chose to brought an inexpensive gift though he was used to buying expensive stuff made her feel even happier. That meant that what she thought and felt mattered to him too.Eric widened his eyes and quickly wiped her tears. "What's wrong? You don't like them?""Of course I like them. It's just…" she sniffled, "I never really got many gifts so-""I will give you gifts every day. Don't cry," Eric seriously said.She burst into soft laughter. "I didn't mean it that way, Boss. I meant this surprise. You thought about such a pretty gift for me is what makes me happy.""I see," he was relieved. Then he asked again, "So do you feel happy?"Lucy brightened. "Of course Boss! I am really really happy!"His face bloomed in happiness too.Part one of the mission was successful."Wait I will wear it right now!" Lihua eagerly put on the earrings and asked, "How do I look now?" She twirled, dangling her new earrings.Eric patted her head. "Now? You always look pretty."Lucy froze and then blushed hard.Boss is innocently flirting again! Ahhh! My heart!She shyly looked away. "T-Thank you, Boss."Her phone vibrated with a message.'Where are you, dumb woman? You are late!'She grimaced at Mark's message.He cannot talk nicely at all!Lucy leared her throat. "Thank you so much for this gift, Boss. I will always cherish it," she smiled. "Oh yes. I have to leave. Molly will be waiting for me."He felt saddened at that, but he still nodded. "En. Wait. I will drop you at her home."Point number four. Be chivalrous.Lucy stiffened. She quickly said as she waved her hand in dismissal. "No-no. You don't have to take the trouble. I will go by myself."Eric disagreed. "I will drop you. If it's you, it's no trouble. I will come to pick you up too after your night out is over. It will be too late."This made her even more panicked. It seemed that she will not be able to convince him otherwise.But I have to meet Mark! What should I do?Eric held her hand and pulled her. "Let's go.""Ah right…"Oh God, please help me!
