chapter 158

Lucy stiffened. Mark cursed.Lucy awkwardly laughed. She tried to shake off her hand. "Haha... That I have to go early.""The night has just started dear. What is so early?"Mark realized that she wouldn't be able to get out of this. He had to help her. The best way was to pick a fight with him.I will just create a scene and let her escape.Lucy felt relieved to see Mark coming her way to help her. But before he could reach her, a certain someone already grabbed Charles's wrist and tore it off Lucy's hand.As she recognized the familiar scent of her Godly handsome Boss, she froze. She even recognized his beautiful and fair hand.Um...what is going on?Lucy's breath got stuck in her throat. She didn't even dare raise her head to look at him.Maybe...just maybe, he is actually not my Boss?Mark paused in his steps. He narrowed his eyes as he recognized Eric.CEO Eric Willson? What is he doing here?Charles widened his eyes at the intrusion and he raised his head, feeling dumbfounded. As his eyes met the dark and murderous gaze of the Mafia King, he felt his blood freeze in his body. Every cell screamed of an imminent threat looming upon him. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but it was as if every nerve and muscle refused to cooperate."Y-You…"Eric watched him in utter silence but in his mind, he was already thinking of the numerous ways to deal with him in his base. The entire bar became deadly silent. The loud music was replaced with such eerie quietness that even a needle's sound could be heard if it fell. His command and presence didn't allow anybody to dare to even utter a single word without his consent.The women in the bar stared at him in admiration but fear as well. He was an ethereal beauty but also someone who could hurt them with his thorns if they carelessly approached him. There was an air of danger around him that put an invisible pressure on everyone.Charles felt as if he had seen him somewhere. Then his eyes widened in shock as it finally clicked him.CEO Willson!Eric didn't make many public appearances until now, so it was inevitable that Charles had a hard time recognizing him.Charles stammered as sweat profusely dripped down his sides. Even with the air conditioning on full blast, he felt hot as if he was stuck in a desert.Eric narrowed his eyes and slowly began to crush his wrist bone. "You are touching someone you shouldn't."He spoke very quietly, but very clearly too. There was a deadly ring to his voice that smelled of death.Lucy stiffened.The last hope of Eric being a doppelganger vanished from her heart.Not just his smell and hand, but even his voice is the same!But wait. Doppelgangers are supposed to be exactly the same, right? Hahaha.She knew it was a fruitless consolation. Her Godly handsome Boss was present here in blood and flesh. Instead of seeing her in Molly's house, he saw her in a bar here.I am dead. He caught my lie. I am so dead!
