chapter 97

Eric asked, "You know him?""Ah? Who?" Lucy blinked her eyes.Eric pursed his lips and looked downcast.He didn't know why he felt so affected seeing Lucy with that strange man. He detested that irritating feeling in his chest."That man you came out with.""Oh him...he is-"Lucy stopped.Wait, what should I tell him? Mark told me not to tell anyone about sis Luca and he is her colleague. How should I introduce him…?"...He is my friend."Eric blinked his eyes. "But he is older than you.""...""Who said that older people cannot be your friends? Plus he is not that old…"Eric tilted his head. "You never mentioned him. It was only your other friend."He didn't bother remembering Molly's name.Lucy coughed. "T-that we met after a long time so he just didn't come up in the conversation.""I see…"She nodded.Safe! Now before Boss asks anything else-"How do you know him?"Lucy looked at him, stunned. "A-ah that…""Where did you two meet?""How long have you two known each other?""What does he do? Where does he live? Where was he until now?"!!!Boss! Why are you shooting questions like laser beams?She nervously laughed. "Boss it's so rare for you to be asking so many questions…"Eric paused.Indeed it wasn't like him. Impatience wasn't in his nature, but ever since he heard those women praising them as a couple, he started to feel restless for some reason."...Why did you meet him today?"Lucy began to sweat under the pressure.Why is Boss testing me like this? She sobbed. He seems different."W-well we met after a long time so he asked to grab a coffee together haha…"Eric pursed his lips and seemed conflicted. Lucy felt as if somebody hit her with a huge boulder, seeing his pitiful expression.Ah what is this guilt I am feeling…?
