Sylvia set the phone aside and said, "Let's conclude the morning meeting here. Everyone can go have lunch. We'll continue this afternoon."The executives dispersed.Sylvester approached Sylvia and asked, "Whose call was it? What happened?"Sylvia smiled. "Who do you think it was other than Eric? He brought chicken soup and asked me to eat on time."Sylvester said, "Well, it seems you're enjoying it. I guess I should heed my brother-in-law's advice and get myself a girlfriend."Sylvia chuckled. "Well, you need to hurry up then. Mom and Dad are eager for a grandchild!"She playfully pushed Sylvester and continued. "Go have your lunch, Sylvester! If Eric sees you with me later, he might get jealous again!""Alright! I'll go! I was hoping to take a sip of my brother-in-law's homemade chicken soup!" Sylvester said as he hastily left the meeting room.When Sylvia went back to her office, Eric was waiting for her on the couch. Sylvia said in an annoyed tone, "Eric, can't you wait a
In the following days, Eric would consistently bring Sylvia meals on time and show up at Williams Corp. promptly after work in the evening.Sylvia looked at Eric. "You're not going to do this every day, are you?"The employees at the Williams Corp. now looked at her differently. They could not believe that the dignified CEO would be looked after by a man like a child.Eric replied, "I don't have that much time to take care of you like this forever. I just want you to develop a regular routine. Once you've established that, I'll stop bringing you meals.""What if I can't develop that habit?" Sylvia asked."Then I'll keep bringing you meals," Eric answered.Manager Schwartz thanked him this morning, but Eric did not know why. Sylvia asked, "You don't mind Sylvester anymore? After all, you've mentioned before that he's handsome and wealthy. Any woman would want to get close to him."Eric sighed. "I admit there's a significant gap between us, but I also have advantages he doesn't
Eric could not figure out why Andy would come all the way there to help his sister wash the rolling shutter in the morning. Just what was their relationship now? Sylvia fell silent. After a while, she said, "Your sister has truly let go of the past and is facing a new life. Craig is in the past now, and she has the right to pursue happiness, doesn't she? "Moreover, Andy doesn't have a wife. If they really fall for each other, you should offer your blessings."Eric did not say anything. After all, Sylvia was right. But were they really suitable for each other?After a while, the two of them returned, and Andy had not left yet. They saw him taking Max and Cody to the supermarket when they came back.Eric looked at Andy, who took the kids away, and asked, "Elly, tell me honestly. What's going on between you and Andy?""What are you talking about?" Elly rolled her eyes. "He was just passing by and saw me cleaning the door, so he offered to help. What's so strange about that?""I s
This was the first time Eric had heard of a father asking back the money he gave to support his children.Karen chimed in. "Before, Craig supported her with food and clothes. Now that he's struggling, she should support him. Otherwise, we'll be here every day! We'll see if she can run the store or not!"Eric was left without words, and Andy was surprised."Seriously?" Andy said, "You're asking for money from Elly? I thought you were already divorced?""And who are you?" Craig snarled as he glared at Andy. "Whether or not we've gotten a divorce is none of your business!"Andy scratched his nose and said, "Me? I'm Elly's boyfriend."Eric was at a loss for words, while Craig was stunned momentarily.In the next moment, Craig barked, "I knew it! I knew she was up for no good! How dare she accuse me of cheating on her while she's seeing a man behind my back? This is why she divorced me! Fucking slut!" Craig cursed angrily, but Andy stepped up and punched him before he could say mor
Andy just wanted to help Eric but did not expect Karen to turn her target to him.Eric tried to suppress his laughter but to no avail. Andy looked at Peter and the others helplessly and asked, "Are you guys not going to do anything about her?" The Huntsmans remained unperturbed. They were there for money today and would not go back empty-handed.Andy sighed. "Alright then. You made me do this."With that, he lifted his foot and kicked Karen away."How dare you kick her?!" Karen's son-in-law jumped in.Andy glanced at him and pointed to the surveillance camera across the street. "Look there, there's a camera. I don't even know her, and she's grabbing my leg. This is called self-defense, you understand?"I've never seen someone as shameless as you guys. Forget it. This won't lead to any result."The Huntsman were delighted, thinking Andy would ask Elly to give them money. However, they did not expect Andy to take out his phone and call 911. "Hello, police? There's someone caus
After Elly finished doing Big Sis's makeup, she received a call from the police station. Craig had been officially detained. Shortly afterward, a police officer came to her door, handing her 300 dollars as compensation for the four tires. If she refused this money, Craig would face an even longer detention.Elly sighed in relief, finally able to enjoy some peaceful time. Big Sis had kept her promise and sent two of her henchmen to watch over the beauty salon's surroundings.-The weekend flew by, and Eric delivered lunch to Sylvia on Monday afternoon as usual. The key technical staff at Innova had been trained and could now handle many issues independently, reducing Eric's workload significantly."Maybe you shouldn't bring lunch anymore?" Sylvia said as she ate, looking at Eric. "I promise to have lunch and leave work on time from now on. I don't want to inconvenience you."She felt a bit embarrassed. Having the same man deliver her lunch every day during work hours made her f
Eric's nausea grew more intense. "Hold on!"He covered his mouth and hurried to the restroom, with Jasmine following closely.Inside, Eric vomited up his lunch."What's wrong, Eric?" she asked.Jasmine stepped closer to pat his back, but he pushed her away. "Stay back! Don't come closer!"After vomiting, he rinsed his mouth and washed his face with tap water. When he turned around, he noticed Jasmine was still there!"What do you want?!" he snapped, clearly irritated by Jasmine.Jasmine had a plan when she came here. Today, she wore a short skirt with black stockings that looked alluring. She believed Eric wouldn't be able to resist. With this in mind, she extended her leg and said, "I don't believe you have zero interest in me."Claiming he had no interest at all would be untrue. The allure of black stockings was powerful. Eric did glance down briefly. Nevertheless, she couldn't match Sylvia in terms of beauty. He gazed at Jasmine seriously and explained, "Jasmine, let me
"You're hardcore, Eric!" Andy exclaimed.He couldn't believe Eric had managed to send Jasmine away with a bank card containing only 10 dollars. He wondered how Jasmine would react when she saw the account balance.Eric asked, "Andy, can I borrow money from the company account?"He was utterly broke. The bank card with the compensation money from his hometown's land was still with his sister. Sylvia had given him a bank card when they got married, but he stubbornly refused to accept it.After starting Innova Tech, he invested 10,000 dollars as initial capital and spent the rest over the past month.Andy widened his eyes in shock. "Eric, seriously? You are driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and want to borrow from the company?"Eric didn't seem short on funds, no matter how he looked at it. He hadn't even put a license plate on his car yet."I'm dead serious," Eric replied. "The car was a gift from Sylvia. You know my situation. Even if we split the profits at the end of the year, I
