Chapter 417


    ‘B-But I have something else to attend to,’ I refused. Aldovia and Ennd would be fine, but


    Germania? I didn’t know a word of German, and getting a trantor was a hassle.


    ‘What things? Maybe I can help with your business.


    ‘No you can not.’


    ‘How do you know I can’t when you’re not even telling me about it?’


    ‘I can not go now. You know my situation. If I leave, these bastards might sabotage me, and there’s


    nothing I can do about it. It wasn’t totally untrue, as I was worried that Carson and Jolene might


    deceive me, but that was only part of the problem – I also wanted to see if Eric would really help me.


    ‘Don’t worry about that. If you do as I say, I will teach them a lesson for you.


    He didn’t look like he was kidding. ‘Are you really going to help me?’


    ‘Clear.’ Shortly after, he smiled at me. ‘But not for free. What is your offer?’


    ‘I thought I agreed to be your modelst time?’


    ‘This is different. Now tell me, what are you going to do this time?’


    ‘What do you want?’


    ‘What I want? Hm, let me think about it.’ He got up and came forward. When he was standing next to


    me, he gave me a look. ‘Why don’t you be my friend with benefits?’


    I blushed. ‘This is a joke?’


    ‘Do I look like I’m kidding?’ He breathed into my ear softly.


    Immediately, I felt electrified. Damn it, Eric. Does he think I’m easy? ‘Sir. Walker, I know you’re


    confused after what happenedst night, but I’m not an easy


    woman.’


    “I never said you are. He smiled. ‘I kept thinking about you after I went homest night. Did you do the


    same?


    What? There’s no way I’m going to believe that, and I bet he says that to every woman he


    meets. Thinking about it, I looked at him. ‘I already said. Last night was just a mistake, Mr. Walker. I


    have no ideas about you and please don’t disturb me.


    “You’re just a married woman. Don’t act haughtily. His face fell, and he went back to his seat.


    It changed faster than I could say ‘what’ but that’s okay. At least I didn’t have to be so nervous that I


    lost all control of my body. Silence ensued, and a momentter he said, ‘What about the research? You

    are going?’


    ‘I am, but… I don’t want to go alone. I don’t adapt well to new ces.’ I didn’t refuse anymore.


    Eric calmed down a bit. ‘I thought you weren’t afraid of anything? I’m sure you can adapt


    easily. Furthermore, do you also give this excuse to President Smith when he sends you on business


    trips?’


    ‘He only sends us on domestic trips, so there’s nonguage barrier. And you’re not him,” I muttered


    under my breath.


    ‘Okay, okay. You are so stupid that you can get lost with the GPS there. I’ll get someone to go with you.


    ‘Who’s going with me? I don’t want someone I don’t know, otherwise it would be a boring trip with no


    one to talk to.


    “Who would you like then?”
