chapter 44

At the apartment complex in Lucy's home, Eric calmly heard his subordinate reporting him on the order given to them. In the kitchen, Lucy was playfully whistling a tune as she attempted to learn to make curry for dinner.A few minutes back after her declaration to help Eric, he thought for a moment."So you will help me?"Lucy furiously nodded."Do you want anything in return for helping me?""Ah?""In business, there is always give and take. You help me. I will help you. No transaction is one-sided."Lucy touched her chin."I am not doing this to gain any favor…"Though if you insist, will you allow me to date you?This was what Lucy's track went off to as she grinned with drool on her face in her dream."*Ahem!* Boss. I don't want anything. I only want to wholeheartedly help you," she said with commitment.Eric tilted his head questioningly."Don't you need my help with anything?""Nope," said confidently."I thought you would ask me to teach you how to cook and organize your house. At the very least some money. You are poor after all.""..."That was a critical hit to her heart.Cooking, organizing, and money. He brutally targeted all the three areas where she lacked.Lucy said with a pained voice. "Boss. This is your first lesson. Poking those things hurt me a lot so talking about them is banned!""I see. So will you learn them instead?"Her mouth twitched.She really wished to open his brain and see how it works.But then a thought came across her mind."Boss, you will teach me cooking?""En."Idiot Lucy! Isn't that super awesome! My Godly handsome prince will teach me.I will get to spend more time with him! We will become even closer!So the whole notion of 'selflessly' helping him went down the drain pretty quickly.So, right now, Eric showed her the easiest curry recipe.He was watching over through all her steps when he got the call.Eric said, "Hm. Send her to his place."
