Chapter 169


    You think I wanted toe? If President Smith hadn’t forced me, I wouldn’t havee to be scolded


    by you! Silently, I grumbled in my heart, and there was contempt on my face.


    Eric fixed his gaze on my furious face. “I can’t just listen to your side of the story. I have to investigate


    further before making


    a decision. Though his words were solemn, his tone was softer than before.

    Knowing that he was trying to find a way out, I replied: “Mr. Walker, now that I have exined the


    matter clearly, may I leave now?”


    “As you wish. No one is holding you!” Eric looked at me coldly.


    When I turned and took two steps, Eric’s chuckle came from behind. “Out the door if you dare, Lilian


    Hawkins!”

    “Mr. Walker, do you still have any requests for me?”


    “I’m starving and I need you toe with me!”


    Although he was trying to say something nice, the words sounded so ufortable when they came


    out of his mouth. When I was about to reject him, he added, “I forgive you if you eat with me.”


    I went to the staff canteen with Eric. It was huge and it was lunch time so there were a lot of people


    inside. The moment I appeared with Eric, we became the center of attention.


    But luckily, Eric had his own private dining room so I could avoid being scrutinized like a monster.


    When the waiter passed the menu to Eric, he pushed it in front of me. “You can ask.”


    Looking at the menu, I was struck by the dazzling array of dishes listed on it. Swallowing hard, I


    thought, Eric is really living the luxurious life! This menu can definitelypete with one from a five star


    restaurant!


    Without shame, I ordered some of my favorite dishes. The tes arrived very quickly and Eric politely


    invited me to eat, but instead of returning his hospitality, I grabbed the chopsticks and started to gobble


    the food down. It seemed like the chef here was very skilled because all the dishes were so delicious.


    Seeing the way I was eating, Eric let out a chuckle, “I didn’t know a skinny person like you could eat so


    well.”


    That was a joke if uttered by someone close to me, but I definitely wasn’t close to him. Unconsciously, I


    slowed


    my pace.


    Perhaps spooked by my appetite, Eric put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites. He was looking


    at me constantly. leaving me so clumsy I had no choice but to drop my chopsticks.


    “Why did you stop?” Eric questioned when he saw my behavior.


    “I finished.”


    “Right after I said you can eat, do you stop eating?”


    “Mr. Walker, are you praising me or are you making fun of me?”


    “I’m praising you! Isn’t it good for a girl to eat so well?”


    Instantly, I was upset. Do people praise others like that? It seems more mockery! Rising, instead of


    fussing with him, I asked, “Mr. Walker, do you still want to eat? If you don’t, I think we should leave.”


    “Clear!” Eric got up immediately.


    I marched two steps forward and suddenly something gushed from my lower body. Stopping suddenly,


    I thought: Oh God! Don’t tell me… I’m so doomed! Did my period juste? Argh, how embarrassing!

    Seeing that I stopped moving, Eric gave me a strange look. “Why aren’t you walking?”


    “I… I…” My face was turning red and I didn’t know how I was supposed to tell him.
