chapter 60

Vicky cleared his throat and signaled her to stay quiet but she didn't notice them at all.Frank stomped to her side. "What are you doing playing Ludo here? Aren't you supposed to be kidnapped?"Lucy then realized it."Oh...oh! Boss, did you come here to save me?"Eric pursed his lips.Her heart skipped a beat.Ah my Godly handsome prince came to save me and what am I doing playing Ludo!? I should have looked more pitiful.She lamented.Eric walked up to her and anxiously held her face. He checked her again. His gaze softened. "Are you hurt anywhere?"As he asked that, his gaze fell upon Vicky. He shuddered in fear.Is this woman someone who he knows?He paled.Then doesn't that mean I am dead!? Boss would never forgive me!He gritted his teeth and glared at his men.You fools!You kidnapped the Mafia King's woman? Are you nuts!?The subordinates shievered and inwardly sobbed.How are we supposed to know?The touch of his warm fingertips on her cheeks made her flush. But the concern in Eric's eyes made Lucy feel guilty. She had no idea that he would come here hastily to help her.She knew she wasn't in danger anymore so she should have informed him.Lucy lowered her head. "Sorry Boss...I flowed away with the greediness of the prize money."Frank's mouth twitched.He wanted to seriously see her brain.Eric quickly said, "It's not your fault. Don't be sorry."No, Boss. She should be. If she was safe, she should have got the hell out of here and not started playing Ludo with Vicky Lawrence as if they are some long lost friends!Lucy grinned. "Don't worry Boss. I am totally fine.""But how?"Once again, Lucy surpassed his expectations. How did she manage to make Vicky Lawrence listen to her?"Oh that! This Janet Jackson gave me a hard time!" She glared at him."Saying nonsense like I am his mistress who snatched his money. Otherwise the Boss here wouldn't have misunderstood me."Eric froze.Mistress?Unknown to Lucy, the effect that it had on him was too great. He slowly turned his head towards Janet, dropping the temperature in the base.Vicky and his subordinates immediately felt it.Eric was akin to a furious beast as if somebody invaded his territory. Janet's guts to call Lucy his mistress darkened his gaze. The term mistress somehow made him imagine the illicit relationship between him and Lucy.Even if it was a lie, Eric couldn't tolerate it at all.Janet almost wet his pants.Lion. He looked like an angry Lion who roared at any trespassers, stepping into his forest.Eric clenched his fists. This new frustration rising within him was getting difficult to control for him.If not for Lucy, he would have already squeezed his neck and broken it instantly.In front of Lucy, he was a CEO, not a Mafia King.
