chapter 24

Why is it always my job?Lucy shed invisible tears.Her job was more like a hanging sword on her neck rather than a feeling of happiness.She whispered so that only Assistant Frank could hear. "So, you are not calling any S3 team to kidnap me?"Frank was dumbfounded. "Do you think we are that stupid to waste our exceptional S3 team on someone like you?"Her mouth twitched.You were surely going to waste it on some non-existent culprit for a minor water crisis last night."Get into the car!"She jolted and the phone hung up.Lucy looked at Eric and tried her best to smile. "W-will you please drop me at the college?"Eric nodded.The strange feeling in his chest disappeared.Lucy couldn't put her finger but she still felt that something was wrong.But she didn't want to delve into it right now after Eric embarrassed her.Lucy said, "See you later, Linda.""Hm. Sure."---Inside the car, Lucy maintained a safe distance from Eric as she sat beside him. Now that she knew that Eric doesn't like anybody touching him, she decided to be utmost cautious.Lucy lamented on her luck. Here she had already thought of so many ways to get closer to him in this car ride, but fate cruelly splashed ice water on her intentions.Eric looked at the distance between them and frowned."Too far."Lucy stiffened."R-right…"She shifted just a little bit to her right.Eric said, "Still too far."She coughed and shifted once again. There was still a wide space between them.Eric pursed his lips. "Still too far."Lucy cried.Boss, don't you hate people touching you? Why are you making things difficult for me?I don't want to get fired.She nervously smiled and shifted once again. Eric didn't react.He was sexily tapping his finger on his thigh, deep in thought about the not-so-lessening distance.So, he simply held her arm and pulled her to sit beside him.Lucy felt as if lightning struck her.
