"Brother, are you sure I'll get the Job?" Emily asked, looking at Eric with a teary eye."Yeah sure, you'll get the Job, Chloe probably didn't mind your attitude." Eric shrugged while walking into the company after parking the car right outside."Once you're in, tell the receptionist that you have an appointment with the president, and she'll direct you to her office," Eric said, his hands inside his pocket as he desperately wanted to turn around and leave the surroundings. "No brother, you can't just go, let's go in together." Emily cried holding Eric's arms."But it's not as though she's going to eat you up right?" Eric chuckled, staring at Emily with an amused expression."Yes I know, but I still can't go in all by myself." Emily cried tugging at Eric's arms."Alright then, let's go." Eric sighed, having no other choice. He knew well that Emily was not going to leave him until he did what she wanted."Thanks, brother, you're the best." Emily jumped happily pecking Eric's cheeks."
"So where are we headed to?" Eric asked with a slight smile on his face looking at Natalie."I don't know." Natalie snorted coldly, ignoring Eric."Huh?" Eric froze as he slammed hard on the brakes bringing the car to a stop."Am I just supposed to continue driving around the city like a mindless idiot? It's not as though I would gobble you up or anything." Eric frowned looking at Natalie."Or do you think I'd have agreed to take you if it was not for the fact that it was Chloe who requested it? Why would I want to help someone like you in the first place.""I'm supposed to be recuperating at home, and yet I'm trying to take you to wherever the Lord knows and you're telling me you don't know. If you don't know your destination, I can take you back to the company and drop you or you can get out of the car." Eric shrugged, sounding rather annoyed."I'm going to Brookside," Natalie muttered just loud enough for Eric to hear."Good," Eric said and started the car before turning around, ch
"And who are you?" The bulky man growled, turning to Eric who walked forward with his hands inside his pockets, a smirk on his face."And why'd you ask such a dumb question?" Eric laughed, placing his hands at the back of his head, still strolling forward.Natalie frowned and looked at Eric, though she knew that Eric was skilled and would be able to take care of these men easily, she didn't want to get him involved in her matters.But was he going to listen to her? She knew him well. From the little time she has spent with him, she realized that he wasn't the type to abide by rules which was why he had constant fights with Chloe.Besides, what if the man went ahead to bring a lot of people that Eric couldn't beat, then Eric would be beaten up, and then she'd feel guilty because he was just trying to help her?"Wait, why was she thinking like this?" Natalie muttered under her breath feeling rather surprised at herself.There was no reason she was supposed to feel guilty if Eric got bea
"Huh?'The bulky man froze upon hearing Eric's words and then turned around to look at him with a frown on his face."What do you want?""Well I've paid up the debts they owed, aren't you going to pay yours?" Eric laughed l cracking his knuckles."What do you mean?" The bulky man frowned."Well here's this thing," Eric grinned looking at the men."I'm sure this is not the first time you came to threaten them about the money which has left them some certain amount of mental damage and fear." Eric continued with a smile on his face."So what do you want?" The bulky man asked, looking at Eric with an unfriendly expression."So the thing here is that you have to pay for the metal damages you've caused." Eric shrugged."And why should I do that?" The bulky man laughed."Because they paid their debts, so it's your turn to pay your debts." Eric laughed walking closer to the man."You see, I won't be charging much, you'll be paying just two Million dollars for each person as compensation for t
"Mum, how many times do you want me to say it, he's not your son-in-law, there's no way I'll marry someone like him," Natalie grumbled angrily at the dining table causing a fuss.Since Eric had settled the matter, her parents had been calling him their son-in-law and had been treating him rather too well.At first, she didn't say anything and thought that they were going to stop, but much to her shock, her mother was even asking when they were going to get married.After managing to prepare lunch for everyone even though she was annoyed, Natalie couldn't take it anymore and kicked back saying he was not their son-in-law."Then tell us your relationship with him if he's not your boyfriend Natalie's mother, Anna, asked with a frown."He's just a security guard of the company where I worked and then happened to be the bodyguard of my boss who then asked him to bring me home today," Natalie said angrily.All of a sudden, everywhere fell silent. Natalie could feel her parent's eyes on her
"Brother, here you are," Emily said happily getting into the car immediately after Eric pulled up at the company."How was your first day at work?" Eric asked with a smile."It was perfect." Emily laughed."Sister-in-law made me the head of the finance department." Emily laughed."What did you say?" Eric frowned looking at Emily."I said my sister-in-law made me in charge of the finance department," Emily repeated what she said."Who are you calling sister-in-law?" Eric asked."Chloe of course." Emily giggled."When did I tell you that we were dating?" Eric frowned."You don't need to tell me that, I know." Emily laughed."Fine." Eric sighed feeling defeated, he knew that there was nothing he could say that was going to make Emily change her mind."So tell me why did Chloe make you the head of the finance department?" Eric asked, wanting to change the topic."Brother, take a look at this!" Emily excitedly showed Eric a video on her phone completely ignoring his questions.Eric looked a
"Tell me, what more do you know?" Simon smiled looking at Eric with a smile on his face."I don't know anything more." Eric laughed denying the fact that he knew anything."No, you've got to be joking." Simon laughed while sipping his tea. Eric had already finished the treatment for that day."I've already told you what I know yesterday." Eric laughed, shaking his head."You know you quite amaze me with your skills." Simon laughed looking at Eric."You don't need to be, I was just curious which led me to dig." Eric shrugged."Yeah, that's fine." Simon laughed."Okay, since that's the case I'd let you know what's happening." Simon continued, his voice suddenly turning serious."Are you sure you want to tell me?" Eric asked, knitting his brows."Yeah, I consider you as my son-in-law now, so there's no need for me to consider it." Simple shrugged."What if I'm also after the company and are just pretending?""That won't do." Simon laughed, "You can decide whether you want the company or n
"Brother, there's a meeting at the company today, aren't you going to stay back?" Emily frowned as she alighted from the car."And how's that my business?" Eric asked with a raised eyebrow."Let's go and support my sister-in-law. You can't let those old men bully her." Emily pouted."Why should I do that?" Eric asked feeling rather confused, "Besides I'm just a small bodyguard, so what rights do I have to go into the meeting.""That doesn't concern me, you have to go with my sister-in-law to the meeting. We can't have anyone bully her." Emily said firmly, shaking her head."That's the work of her secretary, Natalie, and she's not around. So why do you want me to fill in for a job that's not mine?" Eric argued."Nope, none of my business." Emily put her hands into her ears blocking away the voice not wanting to hear what Eric was saying."But...""I can't hear you, brother," Emily said, her hands still in her ears.We both know that you can't win an argument against me, so it'll be bett
