Chloe shivered hearing Eric's voice. She could tell that it was filled with evil intentions, but for some reason, she still asked,“What bet?”Eric's smile became sinister hearing Chloe's reply. After a while, the smile on his face disappeared, and he replied with a straight face.“If you don't get the contract, then I'll do anything you ask me to.”“Anything?” Chloe frowned, looking at Eric.“Yeah sure, anything.” Eric laughed.“But if you get the contract.” Eric said, breaking out into a sinister smile."Yes, what do you want if I get the contract?” Chloe asked, feeling rather confident, as she was confident that there was no way she was going to get the contract.No matter how close Eric was to the owner of the company, the owner would not say because he knew Eric, he was going to give her the contract, that logic was derailed and that was because they'll always prioritize profits.There are other companies that would give them five times the profit. So there was no way they were g
"Are you sure this is not wrong?" Chloe frowned looking at Micheal, ignoring Eric."You don't have to worry ma'am, I didn't make a mistake." Micheal smiled humbly in reply.It was as though he was sitting on needles. He couldn't understand what Eric was doing here with this woman.He would have rejected any forms of Cooperation with Chloe if she was here alone. This was not because her company was not good enough, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the companies of the four families.Ever since Eric took over Cisco, it had developed rapidly and now it was back to its former state. A state where it was stronger than the four families.His goal was to make it stronger than the four families combined. So getting involved with any of them was a no.But seeing Eric and Chloe together, he realized that may not be the case. The president's Fiancee was someone from the four families so he had to change his plans.Besides, it was all due to Eric's help that the company had advanced
Eric's impatience was seen all over him, suddenly, he leaned in, his voice edged with a mischievous threat. "Come on, make a choice, or I'll make it for you," he insisted, his eyes flashing with a hint of mischief. Chloe felt the weight of his words pressing down on her, unsure of how to respond. Her mind raced, but she found herself tongue-tied, caught in Eric's snare.With a sigh of resignation, Eric took control of the situation. "Fine, we're heading to the hotel," he declared, noting Chloe's hesitation.But Chloe's resistance flared up like a sudden gust of wind. "No way, we're not going to a hotel," she retorted defiantly.She refused to entertain the idea of being alone with Eric in such an intimate setting. He was a hooligan and who knew what he was going to try to do And what about her own reputation? The mere thought sent shivers down her spine.Eric's response was swift and chilling. "Then it's settled. We'll use your office, since you don't want us to go to the hotel, you
In a spacious conference room, a large round table stood in the middle of the room with chairs surrounding it. Sitting inside the conference room were ten aged men with a frown on their faces.The front seat signifying the president's seat was empty, but none of them couldn't care less at the moment and continued their discussion.“What do you think we should do about that brat?” One of the old men frowned, looking at the others.“There's no way we'll allow Simon to let that brat whom he claims to be his son-in-law, rule over us.” Another shook his head.“If he's not capable again, then he should give it to his granddaughter. She's the rightful one to take his place.” Another added.The others nodded in agreement with what that executive had said. None of them had a pure intention.As to letting Simon's granddaughter take over the company, they had already known that she knew nothing about handling a company, so they could have their way.The old man had been keeping them in place eve
“I'll be back tomorrow, there are things I need to look at first, then we'll decide on what to do next.” Eric said, turning around to look at Logan, who was still following behind him as they walked out of the company.“Yes sir.” Logan nodded, coming back to his senses.“See you tomorrow then.” Eric continued getting into the car and driving off.Logan couldn't help but breathe in a sigh of relief, seeing that Eric had left. Seemed like the executives were in on it. Mr. Simon's son-in-law was not someone to be trifled with.He didn't even know what to think. Eric's arrogant words and the way he had talked to executives made him realize he was not a person to be crossed.Furthermore, he was not the type to give a damn, and just as he had said, he would not give a damn, even if the executives refused to follow him.But that would be a major problem. Those old men were rather cunning and could turn all the employees against him.If that was to happen, then it would be something else and
“Where are we headed?” Evelyn asked, looking at Eric right after they came out of the Villa.“Let's go get you some clothes.” Eric smirked.“Clothes?” Evelyn frowned, feeling rather confused. She had a lot of clothes, so why was Eric talking about getting clothes for her?“Yeah, let's go get you some clothes.” Eric smirked, walking towards the car.Seeing Eric's smile, Evelyn couldn't help but shiver. That grin meant nothing positive. Though she couldn't tell what he had in mind whatever he was planning, she could tell that it was not something positive.“What kinds of clothes are we going to get?” Evelyn questioned, getting into the car. “We'll see about that when we get there.” Eric smiled.He would never say he was going there to get her lingerie and other revealing clothes. Evelyn would kill him even before he started the car.Somehow, he had a bit of fear of this female gorilla by his side. He needed to be extra careful around her. She wasn't like Chloe who was weak or Natalie w
"Argh!" Evelyn's scream pierced the air, echoing through the mall."Eric, what the heck are you fucking thinking?" she lashed out, turning to look at the man that brought her but much to her shock, Eric was nowhere to be found. It was as though he had disappeared into thin air. He was here just now. How the heck did he leave in less than a minute?"Ma'am, I've carefully chosen these clothes. They are the best for you. They'll look good on you and would suit you perfectly, bringing out your every beautiful curve," the salesgirl said slowly, looking at Evelyn with a beautiful serene smile.Evelyn's eyes narrowed as she examined the skimpy attire presented before her again with some sort of disgust on her face. "I'm sorry, but I don't wear clothes like these," she declared firmly, to the surprise of the salesgirl."I'm sorry, ma'am, but your husband has already paid for the clothes, so I'm afraid you'll have no choice but to try them on so I'll know if I should change them or not. Or if
"Give me the bags," Evelyn suddenly demanded, her voice hoarse and unpleasant."Why should I give them to you?" Eric asked, raising his brows and looking at Evelyn with a smirk."Because I said so," Evelyn shot back."I'm not going to give them to you," Eric refused, shaking his head firmly."Why?" Evelyn grumbled."Who knows if you'll throw them away after I've given them to you? It'll be better if I just give them to some other women who'll be delighted and even change into them in front of me," Eric laughed, winking at Evelyn."Shameless," Evelyn spat coldly, rolling her eyes at Eric.She wanted to walk away and tell him that she didn't want the clothes, but she knew him rather too well.He was going to do as he had said. He would give them to some other women, and considering their price, the other party would appreciate them and even change into them in front of him.That way, the person would be able to get Eric's attention, and then Eric would forget all about her, and she'd lo
