"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
"Sir, here," Eric said, giving the taxi driver a hundred-dollar bill."But sir, I don't have change." The Middle-aged taxi driver smiled bitterly."Don't worry about it." Eric waved his hands and turned around looking at the huge Villa in front of him.This was the location he had seen when he had tracked Evelyn's phone. Though the tracking was quite a bit of work and he wouldn't want to do it if it was not necessary, he still had to do it.Eric looked at the Villa and couldn't help but smile bitterly, how was he going to see Evelyn? She was not picking up his phone, so how was he going to do it?Well... it didn't matter, all he wanted was to see Evelyn, as long as she was there, he was sure that he was going to see her."Ouch!"A painful yelp came just when he was about to walk into the Villa as he collided with a figure."Young man, watch where you are going." A hoarse voice stopped Eric who was about to continue on his way."Watch where I'm going?" Eric sneered, turning around to l
"Huh?"Evelyn froze hearing the familiar voice, for a moment, she felt an electric shock pass through her body, next her heart began to thump heavily like it was going to burst out through her chest.For a moment, she couldn't understand what was happening. Ever since she heard that Eric was attacked she watched the video of him jumping off the bridge into the river with Chloe.She had felt a strange sadness and unwillingness to do anything. Then some days ago, the condition of her grandfather worsened and she had no other choice but to stay back at home.She had invited many doctors, but then none of them had been able to treat him, his condition had only worsened which made her mood even worse. And then with Eric whom she thought was dead, she felt very depressed."Dear wifey, is anything wrong, why are you standing there? Aren't you going to come and hug your hubby?" Eric's voice came bringing Evelyn out of her thoughts.Much to Eric's shock, Evelyn walked slowly towards him and th
"Alright then since you've decided to be respectful, let me tell you what's wrong with my grandfather-in-law," Eric said with a smirk before walking towards the old man lying on the bedEvelyn's expression changed upon hearing the way Eric addressed her grandfather. Why the heck did he have so much of a gut?Aiden on the other hand was dumbstruck, what the heck was Eric saying? Did he think Evelyn's grandfather was going to accept him just because he had some trashy medical skills?He was just a small medical doctor who was destined never to rise but remain in a spot. He was never going to be a successful man like him. Besides, he believed he would be able to take care of Evelyn better than anyone."What the heck do you think you're saying? You'd better stop spouting nonsense and do what you have to do, or else if anything happens to him, you'll be facing the consequences." Aiden said, believing Evelyn was going to support him."Is he your grandfather?" Eric turned around and asked s
"My technique is not something ordinary that people like you learn, but if you watch closely, then you might be lucky to grab something from it." Eric laughed, removing the quilt used to cover the old man exposing his bare chest.Because of how long the old man had been unconscious, Evelyn had removed all the clothes on his body leaving him with only a short. The quilt was used to cover him, none of the doctors who ever treated the old man requested to remove it.Eric was the first person to do so and he didn't even ask for permission before he did so and just pulled it up."In cases like this, modern medicine is useless because there's no way to remove something that has already been mixed with the bloodstream." Eric suddenly said, breaking the weird silence in the room."So you're planning to use traditional medicine on him?!" The doctor muttered in shock not believing someone as young as Eric would know anything about traditional medicine."Yeah, something like that." Eric shrugged
