chapter 39

There was utter shock and silence as everybody saw Eric. They felt his command in the air and nobody dared to speak.Lucy was dumbfounded.Why is he here?Eric opened the paper and saw that drawing. He tilted his head and glanced at Lucy. He saw a bunch of those papers at Lucy's feet."Boss...""What does this drawing mean?"Laura kept staring at him in a trance. She was intimidated like everybody else, but there was a thrill in her heart too."S-sir, that is Lucy and... and..."She gulped.Would he get offended by the drawing?Eric wasn't paying any attention to her anyway. He was waiting for Lucy's response.Lucy quickly said, "Those are nothing."One woman said, "What's wrong Lucy? Why aren't you admitting that it's you and Mr. Willson?""Of course she wouldn't. She would be hella embarrassed since she was rejected."Eric frowned.He looked at the drawing. "This drawing is wrong."Eric walked up to her.Lucy's heart skipped a beat.Their kiss flashed in her mind again. Her cheeks slightly turned red."Boss...""It shouldn't be you kneeling," Eric stared at her. "Now I know the correct way to apologize to you."Lucy was puzzled.Ah? Is he talking about what happened this morning?Eric bent on his knees on the ground, making Lucy gasp in shock. Everybody's eyes popped out of their sockets.The CEO of EW Industries was kneeling in front of Lucy!"B-B-Boss! What are you doing!?" she stammered.Eric was convinced with Frank's advice.The diamond-set might have looked too shallow, he thought.He concluded that his sincerity wasn't reflected enough.Plus in the Mafia World, it was common to prove one's sincerity by shedding blood.Suddenly, Eric hit his head on the ground, making everybody jolt and shudder. A thin stream of blood trickled from his forehead as he raised his head."Ahhhhh!" The women screamed in shock."CEO Eric Wilson hit himself!""Blood! Blood! Ambulance!""Boss! What are you doing!?" Lucy shrieked in utter shock.He calmly said, "kneeling and apologizing."Lucy was horrified.From diamond set to kneeling and hitting head? What the hell is going on?Laura's jaw dropped wide open.C-CEO Eric Willson is hitting head in front of Lucy? The billionaire is kneeling in front of everyone!Eric seriously said, "I will show my sincerity by my blood."The students were shell-shocked.Didn't he reject Lucy? Then what sincerity?Eric was about to bang his head again, but Lucy swiftly grabbed his head. "Boss, please stop!"
