Chapter 167


    “President Walker, it’s me, Lilian Hawkins.”


    “Oh? So it’s Mrs. Hawkins. Do you need anything from me?” Eric’s voice was indifferent, almost


    callous. I could imagine what he looked like at that moment –   eyes slightly narrowed with legs crossed


    – as he patiently waited for his prey to fall into his trap.


    “President Smith asked me to pass a document to you. I am currently waiting in the front lobby of your


    “Pass me a document? Just hand it over to the hostesses; they will bring it to me.”


    “President Smith said I must personally deliver this document to you.”


    “And even? So please wait a moment.”


    I thought the receptionists would let me through right away. Contrary to my expectations, I had to wait


    another 30 minutes before a beautifuldy dressed in a designer suit approached me. “You must be


    Mrs. Hawkins. Pleasee with me!”


    Following the beautifuldy, we took the elevator to the 28th floor, where the president’s office was


    located. As I expected, there were more people than I thought working on the same floor as the


    president. So that beautifuldy took me to where Eric’s office was. Knocking on her office door, she


    pushed open the door and announced, “Mr. Walker,


    Mrs. Hawkins is here.


    “Let her in!”


    After that, I walked into Eric’s office under his unnerving gaze. Worried that his employees would get in


    on my apology, I casually closed the door behind me.


    He looked at me with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Mrs. Hawkins, my schedule is very tight. You


    can put the documents on the table and go.”


    “Mr. Walker, actually, I came here today to apologize to you.”


    “Apologize? Mrs. Hawkins, have you done something wrong?” He gave me a puzzled look.


    Seeing that expression on his face, I thought to myself, Well, keep pretending. Pretend as much as you


    can. Despite this, I outwardly disyed a sincere attitude. “Mr. Walker, please allow me to exin why I


    missed your callsst night. Turns out I was in the shower when your call came in, so I didn’t hear my


    phone ring. After getting out of the shower, I went straight to bed. It wasn’t until this morning that I saw


    your missed calls. I wanted to return his calls immediately, but it was still too early. As I was afraid of


    disturbing your rest, I decided to call you as soon as I arrive at thepany. I didn’t mean to ignore it.”


    “Hmm.” he gave a nomittal answer.


    “Mr. Walker, I admit I was wrong not to respond to you immediately. Please have mercy on me! Please


    ept my apologies and forgive me this time!”


    “What if I refuse to ept your apology?”


    “Mr. Walker, you are a genius in the business industry. No matter how liberal you are, how can you


    stoop to my level?” I said smiling.


    “I will not fall for your tricks!” Eric narrowed his eyes at me. “What if I insist on stooping to your


    level? What can you do?”


    “There’s nothing I can do. Mr. Walker, as the saying goes, anyone can make mistakes, so one should


    forgive them whenever possible. Please find it in your magnanimous heart to forgive me!”


    “I didn’t know you knew that saying too, Mrs. Hawkins. Did you take pleasure in hitting a man so hard


    he was disfiguredst night?” Finally, wee to the main topic.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
