"How dare she look down on me?" Eric grumbled as he was walking out of the office.Walking right into the office near Chloe's office, he looked around in shock for a moment, he wondered if she had all these planned out.There was a table at the center of the office, a complete set of computers with a Printer and all that.Plain papers by the side, a toilet at the other side, a water dispenser, a tray of coffee mugs and some other stuff, and then a refrigerator backing the wall. Looking at this setting, Eric couldn't help but smile widely.For a moment, he forgot about his problem as his stomach rumbled rather loudly. He had been too busy trying to create new software and unique software for the phone Cisco was going to launch, so he didn't have time to cook.As for the other projects he had in mind, it would be later when Cisco was balanced, as of now, he was just going to focus on creating smaller projects.Pushing all these to the back of his mind, Eric walked towards the fridge and
"What did you just say?" Chole raised her head, looking at Eric in shock."I think you heard me right?" Eric's face scrunched up in displeasure as he looked at Chole, he couldn't care less about being polite. It was not as though she respected him in the first place.With the way she looked at him, it was obvious that she looked down on him, so he couldn't care less if he was right or wrong.Chole on the other hand looked at Eric in shock, then at the documents on the table as she didn't believe that the latter could translate the entire document in less than an hour.She had initially given him the task out of anger knowing well that he didn't understand Spanish. Though he had complained, she had put up a cold front as though she didn't care.Seeing now that he had completed the task made her a little bit shocked as she couldn't understand. Could it be that he was lying and trying to avoid the task from the beginning?Yeah, that has to be the case, there was no explanation for it oth
Eric sighed as he quickly walked back to the security post, knowing well how crazy Natalie was, he walked towards the two security men standing at the gate and offered to take one of their posts.The men were shocked to hear Eric's offer. Ever since the latter came, he had never offered to stand by the gate, but then they couldn't care less about it, after all, he seemed somewhat close to the president.Besides, he had a good skill so they didn't even bother him and just behaved as though he was never there. But since the latter wanted to stand today, there was nothing they could do about it."Eric, where the heck are you!" Natalie's angry roar came just as Eric stood at the gate.At that point, the two men immediately understood what had happened, and it seemed like Eric had offended them. He wasn't supposed to."I'm sorry, but I can't attend to you now, I'm working right now." Eric grinned, and in the next moment, the grin disappeared changing into a bitter smile as he looked at Nat
"Aren't you going to stop him?" Natalie frowned looking at Eric who was wolfing down the meal on his table."Just ignore him. As long as you act like you don't know him, you'll feel less embarrassed." Chole said calmly as she looked around the banquet.If not for the fact that her father had requested that she come to this banquet on his behalf, she wouldn't have attended, she hated social gatherings like this.It was the Reed family hosting the banquet, their eldest son had just returned from where he went to study and would be taking over the company. So they decided to host a banquet.She had also heard that he was going to be announcing whom he was going to marry as he already found the girl he loved. Chole knew the eldest son of the Reeds family quite well and unlike all others, he wasn't a playboy.This was the only reason why her impression of him was a little bit much. But still, she found him annoying as he had pestered her a lot of times and she hated pestering."The eldest
Eric's expression changed upon hearing what Natalie said, what the heck was she thinking? Why the heck would she say something like that?Quickly, he turned to look at Chole, but much to his shock, she turned her head away. Seeing this, Eric smiled bitterly and turned to look at Natalie, but she ignored his gaze and stared at Russell instead.At the moment, Natalie was feeling elated, she was finally going to get back at the hoodlum. all the grievances he had caused her. Though she couldn't beat him in a fight, at least she could put him in trouble."Boy, what the hell were you thinking, talking to me that way." Russell sneered after confirming that Chole wasn't going to support Eric."Well sorry to say, the beauty you're trying your best to protect has left you all to your defense," Russell continued with a smile on his face."And who said I was trying to protect her in the first place?" Eric shrugged."I was only curious and asking questions as I didn't quite get what was happening,
"How long would this torture last!" Eric grumbled from where he sat as he played with his phone.It had been a week since the banquet incident, other than sitting here all day long, he had no other job. As for Cisco, he was yet to finish writing the program though he was halfway done.Besides, since the incident, Chole had become much colder as it seemed like she looked down on him. And as for Natalie, if not for the fact that he had been avoiding her, she would have challenged him.Thankfully, she and Chole seemed to be busy over the past week as a result everything was at a bare minimum. This as a result had made Eric quite bored and frustrated.Apart from all these, he had made Zero improvements, he couldn't call Evelyn as he was afraid of her outburst even though she owed him two favors. And as for Chole and Natalie, they were like two immovable mountains.He just couldn't think of a way to subdue them in just three months. Well, then he had stopped thinking about it. Since there
"So where are we headed?" Eric asked, looking at Evelyn who was sitting beside him right after he had gotten into the Van.The other policemen just smiled and nodded at Eric, they had already known that he had a close relationship with their captain and was very capable so they weren't in an objection when Evelyn told them she was going to bring him along."Well then we uncovered the Den of some human traffickers, so we are heading to the place right now," Evelyn replied."Human traffickers?" Eric frowned as his expression changed."Yeah, they are not only trafficking humans, but sometimes, they do kill the ones they aren't able to traffick off and then sell their organs. Besides, they've been quite involved in a lot of issues." Evelyn nodded."Are you sure that the information is not leaked this time around?" Eric inquired, his brows knitted slightly as though he was thinking about something."Don't worry, this time the information is confidential and there's no one amongst the polic
"You..." Evelyn gritted her teeth as she pointed at Eric feeling as though she should chop him up into pieces.He knew what she was talking about and yet was pretending as though he didn't know. Though she knew he was going to help, he wasn't going to do that without taking advantage of her.Well, it was his fault this time, she had allowed herself to be deceived for a second time. If it was not for the incredible luck that she had which made her bring Eric along, they would all be dead now."Tell me what you want this time around?" Evelyn gritted her teeth as she looked at Eric who was staring at her."Eric!" Evelyn huffed after a while as she got no reply from Eric."Sorry, my bad." Eric came back to his senses as he looked at Evelyn.Though it looked as though he was staring at Evelyn, he was actually in deep thought, thinking about how they were going to escape. If it was only he and Evelyn, then it would have been easier.But then with the others which added up to a sum of twenty
