chapter 47

Lucy waited for Eric to kiss amidst her loudly thudding heartbeat.Any moment...any moment now…One, two, three seconds, but nothing happened.Lucy peeked through her right eye."Pass that tomato over there," Eric said.Ah?Lucy suddenly opened her eyes and looked to the back. He was pointing towards the tomato basket.She felt incredibly embarrassed. Her face flushed the same shade as that tomato.He wasn't going to kiss me! Stop jumping to conclusions!She thought about the two times when he kissed her.It's not my fault if the Boss always takes me by surprise by suddenly kissing me, she sobbed. He is always so unpredictable.Eric curiously asked, "Why did you close your eyes?"Her brow twitched."I...I...felt like going into meditation. You know, it's really good for health…" she mumbled.This is the most horrible excuse I must have made until now!Eric blinked his eyes. Unknown to him, Lucy's eyes slowly widened to see his lips curve into something called a smile. His voice ever so faintly broke into the softest chuckle.She was stunned."You are really strange. I never saw anyone meditating in the middle of some work.""You..you…" she felt at a loss for words. She didn't expect him to laugh at her silly excuse. "You smiled…"Somehow she strongly felt that this might be the first time in his life when he would have actually smiled at something.And it was mesmerizing. She didn't know that his simple smile could make her heart go into a frenzy as if fireworks had exploded.Eric Willson was a handsome man. But with that soft smile etched on his lips, he looked even more beautiful to her. That impassive and blank face of his had an expression on it for the first time.Eric tilted his head. "Really?"In her stupor, Lucy quickly fumbled out the phone from her pocket and snapped a picture.Safe!"I clicked it! I clicked your picture!" She hopped in excitement. "Thank God I didn't miss it. See?"She showed him. "You are smiling. Boss, you look so *cough* handsome with the smile. You should smile more often!"Lucy was way over the moon to have a picture of a smiling Jiang Wei.Eric didn't see any difference though. Even more than his picture, he was interested in staring at Lucy."But I think you are prettier than me when you smile…"Lucy was taken aback. She was singing his praises here and she didn't expect to get a compliment herself.Suddenly, she felt shy. "Ah..haha... thank you…"Eric mentally made a note to add two things in his small book of observation of Lucy.First, Lucy can meditate anytime, anywhere.Second, she looked beautiful when she smiled.Lucy asked, "Boss, did you date any woman before?"
