chapter 36

Lucy blinked her eyes and saw Eric standing in front of her, his tall figure towering on her. His fixated gaze on hers made her heart skip a beat.The memory of their first kiss last night invaded her mind instantly and she found herself staring at his lips.Last night he kissed me with those lips…The soft and tingling pressure his lips had put on hers was still fresh in her mind and she felt an urge to feel them again.Stop it! Stop it!Don't think about last night!She vigorously shook her head.She remembered his harsh words that hurt her.Her gaze dimmed.Lucy looked back at him and once again, her sight fell onto his lips."B-Boss, I have to go out…" she tried to sound firm and still furious at him. "What are you doing here?"Eric tilted his head and observed her tired eyes. "You don't look well."Lucy mumbled, "And whose fault is that? Yesterday was too incredible for me."She cleared her throat. "I am fine. You don't need to worry about me. Why did you come here?"Eric paused. He took out one box and handed it to her.Lu y didn't understand. "What is this?""Compensation."She blinked her eyes. "Compensation?"He nodded. "I realized that you got angry because of me. It was my fault. This is my compensation."Huh?Lucy took the box and opened it. It felt as if the earth broke apart and swallowed her whole as she saw an expensive diamond set.She was about to faint."B-Boss. What is this?""A diamond set."She looked between Eric and that diamond set that was making her hands tremble. She was almost about to drop it, but then realized that if it got damaged then she wouldn't be able to pay the debt even if she sold herself!"Why did you bring me a diamond set!?" She asked incredibly.She was afraid to even guess its price.Eric  furrowed his brows. "You don't like it?"This morning after talking to Mrs. Ziara, he did an extensive research on how to make an apology. For someone like the Mafia King, who was foreign to these things, he couldn't comprehend the meaning of a sorry.On one website, he read that the guilty person should make up to the person he hurt. If he gave her a nice gift or something as an apology with a sweet sorry note, then the woman would forgive him.Naturally, his next course of his action was to research what women liked as gifts. By a whopping majority, he found on almost all sites that women liked jewelry a lot.Eric nodded to himself and didn't waste any time. He instantly ordered the latest and the most expensive diamond set for Lucy.So here he was, standing confident in front of Lucy about their reconciliation.
