Chapter 233
I listened expressionlessly to the disconnect tone before hanging up my phone.
Honestly speaking. I was dying to run into President Smith’s office and ask what really happened. On
the other hand, I was afraid of pissing Eric off and getting myself in trouble if I took too long. Therefore,
I tried to hide the difort in myself, gathered my things and hurried to the Walker Group.
When the front desk staff saw meing, they didn’t stop me. Instead, they greeted me with smiley
faces before calling the front desk and taking the elevator for me. The office staff treated me well too,
as they took the initiative to greet me before immediately stepping inside to announce my arrival. Soon,
they took me to the president’s office
.
In the office, Eric was on a call and just waved at me as I walked in before going back to the phone
conversation. His secretary invited me to sit down and even brought me coffee.
Due to my unpleasant experience with the drink I was served, I thanked him and ced my hands on
my knees, silently waiting for Eric to end his call.
Not long after, he ended the call and noticed that I was sitting in a proper position, a sight that made
him chuckle. “Why don’t you drink the coffee? Is it that bad? Do I need to ask them to make you
another cup?”
I didn’t want to be on the secretary’s bad side. Since I would be working very closely with Eric in the
future, I was afraid that if I pissed off the team, they might create problems for me in the future. So,
reluctantly, I lifted the ss to sniff, and after confirming there was no off-smell, I rxed and took a
sip. He smiled widely at me. “Is the coffee okay?”
“It’s pretty decent.”
“It’s better than thest one, right?” he asked again.
“Yes”, I replied without thinking, but I soon realized that his question was strange. What does he
mean? Is he openly warning me to behave, or else would he y a trick on me again?

I nced at Eric, who was still smiling at me. “There was an incident in the tenderst time and the
found out about this when someoneined. By the way, did you order tea that day? It must have
been awful.”
What employee would mess things up like that? Besides, I was the only one who fell victim to
it. Looking at her serious face, I smiled withoutmenting further. He was probably bored with my
“Give me a sec.” I grabbed myptop and opened the file to show him the design.
He took one look at my draft and made an uninhibited remark. “Huh, that sounds pretty average,
“Yes.” I forced a smile, knowing that whateverment he threw at me, I could never be mad at
him. “How do you want it changed?”
“Here, here and here.” Eric’s finger indicated some dots on the screen. His slovenly attitude bothered
me, but I patiently prodded him: “What specific aspects do you want to change?”
“Aren’t you
the designer?” He looked at me with an amused face. “I’m just expressing my opinion. As for edits,
that’s up to you.
His words effectively shut my mouth. Suppressing the anger in me, I asked: “When are we going to the
site for inspection?”
“Unhurried. We will go after lunch.” He didn’t seem hurried at all as he nced casually at his
wristwatch. “There is still some time to go. Why don’t you work on editing the draft right here? I’ll check
it out after that.”
“Right here?” I looked at him in bewilderment.

“Yes.” Eric pointed to his seat. “You can sit there and work on it. Once you’re done, show it to me.”
I immediately felt enormous pressure on my shoulders. If Eric wanted to monitor me, I would feel
extremely ufortable. Fortunately, he didn’t want to be intrusive. After motioning for me to sit down,
he promptly left the office.

In his absence, I felt more rxed. I looked at the draft for a while and made some changes to the
I wondered if it was just a psychological effect, but after I made the changes, the draft was better than
the previous version. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a rush of heat around my ear.
