chapter 46

His subordinates already understood that he was talking about his acquaintance.Eric dropped a message.'As promised, sending someone to your special room.'It was the condition his acquaintance had told him to fulfill in exchange for Eric wanting to know why Lucy got angry at him. By today evening, that person wanted someone dead at his doorstep.But Eric didn't know who to send and he got his answer at Lucy's college today.At first, Eric didn't understand why Lihua was the center of attention. Then he realized that those students throwing paper planes at Lucy and laughing at her was all Laura's doing. She had instigated everything by spreading rumors about her.Eric also remembered how she made her trip and fall the first time. So, with the second incident today, he concluded that Laura would always pose a source of trouble for Luct which he didn't want.So, it was the best option to kill her and send her to him. He got his target to fulfill the condition just at the right time."Yes, Boss."Eric walked back to the kitchen, calm and composed as if nothing happened, and Lucy had no idea that Laura was dead on Eric's orders for her sake.Just like that, her enemy was gone.Eric saw her struggling and frowning as she tried to chop the veggies."You don't hold a knife that way."He stood behind her until his chest almost touched her back. His arm hovered over hers and he held her hand, holding the knife.Lucy stared at how his long fingers easily enveloped her small hand. As he leaned forward, his breath made her hair flutter, tickling the back of her ear.Ahhhh!! So close, so close! God, don't make me faint okay?When she raised her head, she saw that she barely reached his chin. Her breath hitched.At that low angle, his jawline looked even sexier and his nose was more pronounced. She felt her cheeks heat up at that sight.Eric lowered his gaze, sensing her quietness."Lucy…" His breathy voice sweetly echoed in her ears.She saw him leaning towards her and his lips grew closer and closer towards her.Ahhhh Is my Godly handsome prince going to kiss me again? But I am not crying…She paused.Who cares about the reason!Kissing is more important.Lucy instinctively closed her eyes waiting for him to kiss her.---Same time at Shadow Eagle Base.One of Vicky Lawrence's subordinates came rushing in and kneeled on his leg. "Boss. That businessman said he needs more time to return the money we lent him."Vicky Lawrence was the leader of the gang, Shadow Eagle, who dealt in the loan sharking business.He tapped his finger on the chair and smiled. "Cannot return our money? We gave him enough time. Now it's time to welcome him here and make him cough out all the cash...with interest."
