chapter 85

The four thugs didn't dare raise their heads as Eric royally walked towards the crowd.Everybody sharply gasped and unconsciously took a step back.The thugs had already informed Vicky and he, in turn, urgently notified Eric about the situation.From his spot, Mark narrowed his eyes as he entered the scene.Why is he here?Lucy was now sure that he had some kind of telepathic power. The day before he came just at the time when everyone was bullying her, and now once again when she was about to be arrested.Molly eagerly shook her arm. "Lucy! CEO Willson is here! Now nobody will dare to take you away."The officer-in-charge was shocked.CEO Eric Willson?Eric ignored everybody else and focussed solely on Lucy first. He froze and his gaze turned cold as he saw her cheek red and slightly swollen."Boss why are-"But her words got cut off as he turned her head sideways and held her cheek, watching the redness of the slap.The temperature dropped to below freezing point, making everyone shudder in fear."Who did this?" His voice was barely audible, yet everyone heard it crystal clear. The alarm in his voice was unmistakable.Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Bailey instantly felt the danger and bloodthirst in the atmosphere.For a moment, Lucy was lost in his deep and penetrating gaze. Everybody was afraid of him while only she remained unaffected by his threatening stance. She observed his minute expressions."Are you angry, Boss?"Eric slightly leaned towards her and whispered as he stared straight at her, "Very."She felt her heart thud at his serious expression that masked the concern for her. Her boss, who had a negative EQ and who never seemed to care for anybody, was angry for her sake, which made her heart skip a beat.Ahhh Godly handsome prince looks more handsome when he is furious, she sheepishly grinned.Eric glanced at the Bailey couple and said, "Which one of you hit her?"They gulped in fear.They didn't understand who this man was that suddenly barged into the scene, but they knew he wasn't to be messed up with.Molly said, "This old woman hit her! She is even accusing Lucy of kidnapping Laura and the police here want to take her for questioning!"
