Eric's expression changed upon hearing the voice but he didn't move, neither did he raise his hands, he just stood like a statue as though he wasn't going to do anything."I said freeze and beside your hands!" The voice said again, this time, even harsher than the first time."Alright, I'll do as you've said." Eric chuckled, raising his hands slowly."Now, you turn around slowly." The voice ordered.Eric grinned, turning around slowly to face the other party.Turning around, he saw the owner of the voice, a tall bulky man, pointing a gun at Chloe's head while glaring at him."You move, I kill her." The man threatened, glaring at Eric."Don't worry, I won't move." Eric chuckled as he stared at the man with a proactive look."How about we have a little chat? I'd like to know a lot of things." Eric continued acting as though he didn't care if Chloe was at gunpoint."I'm not interested in having any chat with you, just shut the heck up." The man growled."Tell me, who sent you to kill her
Just as Eric and Chloe left the spot, four armed men came rushing towards the place. Looking around, they saw the body of their comrade on the floor and couldn't help but frown.While on the way, they saw the bodies of the other five too which made them angry, and yet now, another was dead. It seemed like the person beside the girl was very skilled; they had to be a lot more careful."Let's go." The man who seemed to be the leader ordered and they immediately left as they continued to go after Eric and Chloe even though they didn't know which direction they had taken.Chloe held onto Eric's neck as she snuggled closer towards him subconsciously afraid that she was going to fall while Eric sprinted across the forest as though he was not carrying anything.After a while, Eric suddenly stopped and then placed Chloe on the floor."What are we going to do now?" Chloe asked as she looked around feeling scared.Everywhere was already dark, the only thing that could be heard was the rustling
Eric panted as he ran with Chloe in his arms, he was positive that the men were right behind him and he had to shake them off almost immediately, or else the situation was going to get worse.Just then, rapid footsteps sounded behind them as Eric ran. Chloe shivered as she looked at the men following behind them. Since Eric was carrying her, she was able to see his back as a result, she saw the men."What's wrong?" Eric asked, noticing that Chloe was shivering."It's...it's the men...." Chloe stuttered as she managed to say."Oh shit!" Eric cursed and picked up his pace."Bang! Bang!"Gunshots sounded forcing Eric to hide behind a tree as he couldn't continue to run. He would end up getting killed if he continued to run mindlessly. He had to take out the men first."Stay here and don't make a noise," Eric instructed as he placed Chloe down while panting heavily.Even though he was very tired, coupled with the injury he had received earlier, he felt quite weak, but then there was nothi
Eric panted as he ran across the forest, not daring to put Chloe down even for a second. Though he had already finished off the men, he didn't know if they would meet another set of psychos, so it was just better to run and leave as soon as he could.After about ten minutes of running, the two finally came out of the forest. Eric sighed and placed Chloe down while panting heavily."Let's go," Eric said as he began to walk in that direction."Let's head to the hospital, you're injured." Chloe frowned as she looked at Eric who had his back at her."Nope, I'm not injured, that's not my blood." Eric denied.Chloe frowned looking at Eric, having no other choice, she followed him though she didn't know where he was headed as he never said a word about it.But then according to Eric, they could not go back to her house meaning they were heading back to his place.For a moment, Chloe couldn't help but feel strange, thinking that she was heading to a man's house as it had never happened to her
"Mmmmmmmm," Eric muttered as his eyes fluttered open while looking around with a frown.Raising his hand, he blocked the sun rays entering from the window into his eyes. After a while, he frowned and suddenly sat up on the big bed.Soon, a stream of memories rushed into his head as he remembered what had happened and how he had fainted. Seemed like Chloe had taken really good care of him.All of a sudden, Eric frowned as he heard footsteps approaching the bedroom. Quickly, he lay back and closed his eyes pretending to be asleep.As he suspect, Chloe walked into the room, looking at Eric who was still lying on the bed. She couldn't help but sighed loudly before turning away from him, it had been three days now, but he hadn't woken up yet.Though she had removed the bullets from Eric's back, treated the injuries, and helped change his shirt, she wasn't sure if he still needed to see a doctor and could only pray that he woke up.And now he hadn't woken up for about three days making her
"I'd advise you to give up waiting, agree to be my assistant, and then I'll make life even easier for you." Denise laughed looking at Natalie who was sitting inside her office with a long face."It's been three days since Chloe went missing, you saw the footage of her and her bodyguard narrowly escaping an attempted assassination before jumping off the bridge." Denise continued with a smile."It's time for you to accept the truth that Chloe is dead and just move on, there's no way they'll be able to survive that fall, even if they do, Chloe knows not how to swim so their chance of survival is very slim.""Please get out of my office," Natalie said slowly raising her head to look at Denise, her eyes red as she clenched her fist holding herself back from beating the latter into a pulp."And why should I get out?" Denise asked, raising his brows as he stared at Natalie, not hiding the lust in his eyes.Natalie took in a large gulp of air as she tried to control herself, it was then she r
"Huh?"Everyone froze seeing the two figures stride into the meeting hall, their eyes popped open cause they couldn't believe what their eyes were."Why do you all look like you've seen a bunch of ghosts?" Eric cackled looking at the other executives."You know, I'd have ripped off your intensities and killed the whole lot of you if I was a Zombie, you all should stop acting shocked." Eric continued with a grin."And you!" Eric said, pointing at the president's seat where Denise was sitting."What do you want?" Denise grumbled as he looked at Eric."What the heck gave you the confidence to sit in that place? Is that your seat, or did you believe that since we suddenly went missing, it's your turn to sit there?" Eric questioned.Denise, who still had a lingering fear for Eric, shivered slightly. He knew well that if angered the latter, he was going to beat him up.Besides, everything still felt like a dream to him right now, he just couldn't believe his eyes. It was as though they were
"President, the production has been completed and we are planning on launching it today. Would you like to come inspect the product first before we launch it?" Micheal asked immediately Eric answered the call going straight to the point."There's no need for that, just go ahead and launch it." Eric shook his head in reply."Alright president," Micheal replied and then ended the call.Eric shook his head as he walked out of the company and flagged down a taxi. About Cisco, there were a lot of things he needed to do.The assassination attempt on Chloe's life had spoiled everything, and it seemed like he was going to start planning everything again from the start.Besides, he wondered what kind of product Cisco could develop that was going to help them. Maybe he was just going to ask the system since it was the one that gave him the task indirectly."System, what kind of product do you think Cisco can develop?" Eric asked."And how would I know that?" The System's voice rang in Eric's he
