chapter 188

I cannot say that I really don't...He sighed."Trust me, CEO Willson. I don't think of Lucy in that way and neither does she think about me. You really don't have to do this."Eric tilted his head. "I am not asking you. I am warning you.""And if I don't heed it?" He asked back."Then you die."Mark chuckled. "You seem to be really used to doing this, CEO Willson. Have you given death threats before?"Eric didn't comment and neither did he care."Killing me won't get you anything. Your and Lucy's relationship already seems to be walking on a thin thread. I don't think you want her to hate you if she knows that you killed her friend," he sighed, "she is already stressed so much after all."That brought Eric's full attention."Stress? Lucy?" He grabbed his shoulder and coldly said, "What stress? What happened to Lucy?"Something is worrying her and I don't know...Mark narrowed his eyes. "I meant to say that she is already so worried about her sister."Eric didn't outwardly let it show to him but he felt his heart stop beating for a moment at Luca's mention. His gaze and expression still remained inscrutable."You know she has a sister, right? Lucy is worried about her. It has been a long time since she has spoken to her now. Unfortunately, she is on a mission, which is what Lucy told me. Ever since then, Luca hasn't contacted her and that is making her mentally stressed out."Eric pulled back his hands."Every day, she is constantly praying for Luca to be safe. If at times like these, you harm her friend too, she would lose all her support. She might start to hate you, you know?"Eric stiffened.He recalled the day when he talked rudely about Luca and how that had made Lucy so furious at him. The news of Luca's death by his hands was something she would never tolerate.Mark was right. Luca had already disappeared from her life forever. If he killed him too, Eric would put himself at more risk.Etic stood up and said, "I cannot kill you. But I cannot let you go either," he raised his brow, "Until I get the reassurance that you would not meet her ever again, you stay here."
