Chapter 253


    “She obviously gave the nanny something in return. These things can be easily solved with money


    anyway”


    “I mean, why would they be such idiots? Can’t they look in the mirror? Does Eliza really think she


    deserves to marry her clitoris?” I couldn’t believe their stupidity.


    “They are not fools. However, since it was so easy for Carson to deceive you, they figured it would be


    easy for Eliza to get a rich husband too.” Isabeughed coldly.


    “What evil!” I sighed.


    “I’m just telling you this so you canugh about it, not pity them. By the way, you wouldn’t feel like a


    saint all of a sudden and tell your inws about it, would you?” Isabe was afraid that I might be soft-


    hearted.


    “I am not going. I wanted to warn them about this in the past, but I stopped feeling sorry for them after


    realizing how cruel and shameless this whole family is. I couldn’t even be bothered if they all died!”


    “Exactly! You shouldn’t be bothered if they die!” Isabeughed before hanging up.


    After the conversation with Isabe ended, I grabbed my phone and walked back into Eric’s office to


    see him holding a pen and leaning back in his chair. He seemed to be deep in thought.


    Eric’s face wasposed, as if nothing had just happened.


    However, the calmer Eric seemed, the more ufortable I felt. Although what was expected didn’t


    happen, we both knew what was going to happen.


    Eric was a single man, and men usually didn’t care about things like that, but it was different for


    women. I couldn’t help but feel irritated that I hadn’t pushed him away when I had the chance. At the


    very least, I shouldn’t have stood there like a fool.


    Eric wouldn’t think I liked him, would he? Why was he so crazy? How could we continue working


    together in the future? My n also looked like it would fail.


    All kinds of thoughts went through my head as I took one look at Eric and walked into his office with my


    head down, afraid to meet his gaze.


    Just as I was thinking of an excuse to leave, Eric spoke first: “I’m leaving now because I have


    something to do, but you can continue drawing here. Do not rx, as I will check your progress after I


    get back.”


    So, he grabbed his coat and left the office. I stood like a fool beforeing to my senses and sitting


    down.


    Without Eric here, I felt much more at ease and could finally concentrate on drawing after blocking out


    all unwanted thoughts.


    Time always passed quickly during work. In no time, it was almost time to punch the clock. Eric still


    hadn’t returned, so I figured him checking my progress was just a joke and starting to pack to get ready


    to leave.


    Right after I finished packing, I heard the door open in the back. I turned to see Eric.


    He frowned when he realized I’d already packed. “What? Are you leaving now?”


    “I thought you weren’ting back because it’s past office hours.”


    “I said I’d be back, so I definitely will be back.” Eric went to his ce and sat down. “Where is your


    project? Show me.”


    I reluctantly went back to get theptop I’d already put away. When Eric noticed that I was moving


    slowly, he got upset. “You better not tell me you haven’t thought of anything yet.”

    “I did.” I opened myptop and clicked on my design before showing it to him.

    “Not bad.” Eric’s face got better after he saw the drawing. “You know what I hate the most? People who


    rx. Since you did well, I will reward you.”


    How dare he instruct me like that when he wasn’t even my boss. Reward me? He thought I was three


    years old? Who wanted their reward anyway?


    Although I was mentallyining, I didn’t dare voice myints. Instead, I just sat there in


    silence. Eric asked when he noticed I was neither impressed nor upset, “There’s a y at the Riverdale


    Theater tomorrow night, and I have a few extra tickets with me. You want to go?”


    “Really?!” Raising my head immediately, I knew about the y at the Riverdale Theater tomorrow night


    long before then. However, it was difficult to get a ticket.


    “Of course it’s true. Here is the ticket.” Eric shamelessly picked up a ticket and ced it on the table


    before pushing it towards me.


    Just as I was about to pick up the ticket, I remembered something. My father would be released from


    the hospital tomorrow. I had to walk him home, so how would I have time to go to the y?


    So I retracted my hand reluctantly. “All good. You can keep the ticket for yourself.”


    However, Eric’s face immediately darkened when he heard me. “Do you want it or not?”
