"This is what I meant......."She turned her head like a robot and stared dumbfounded at him. Just a moment ago, she was miles away and now she could see his thin and inviting lips at such a close distance.Lucy gulped hard.Throw those thoughts out, stupid! He doesn't like people getting close. Your love story has ended before it even began!"I-I see."The driver trembled hard in his seat.Boss touched a woman...He touched a woman for the first time! Hell, he even brought one in his car for the first time!The car slowed down, making Eric glance at him."Why slow down?"He jolted. "Sorry, Boss!"Eric glanced at Lucy and asked, "I am poor?""Ah?""I have one distant Uncle who abuses me?"The driver almost coughed out the entire blood from his body.Abuse Boss?Boss abuses people, not the other way around. Just who is this woman to make such statements?"He kicked me out of his family?"The driver almost fainted.Lucy remembered the excuse she gave to Linda."O-Oh thatâ¦y-you left me with no choice. Assistant Frank ordered me to make sure not to leak your identity and here you brought such a fancy car to our area. Of course, they would have figured that you are some rich man. Didn't you see the people staring at us?"Eric tilted his head, his black irises boring into hers. "I was looking at you."Lucy's eyes widened in shock.She stared at the man who doesn't like people touching him, but then who just touched her himself and was nowâ¦W-wait, is he flirting with me? That was so smooth...Hold on. This is going out of the script.Such a line in this situation would actually mean that the guy was flirting, but Lucy had no idea if he flirted just now or simply said it with innocent intentions.Eric said it with such ease and finesse that she felt her cheeks turn warm.'I was looking at you.'
