Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 166

At first, I thought it would only take a few words to settle the matter. After all, it was a trivial

matter. However, if last night’s incident was dragged into the fray, it wouldn’t end so easily. So I looked

at Jessica wistfully. “Why don’t you help me sort things out with him? I pay for your troubles.”

“If it was anyone else, I could give you a hand. Unfortunately, I’m defenseless against Eric Walker”

“I understand now. As long as someone has a bone to pick, they might even pick a bone out of an

egg. There was no escaping my misfortune. So I got on the elevator in a bad mood.

When President Smith’s chauffeur saw me coming down, he got out to open the car door for me. After I

got into the car, the driver immediately walked away from the business. As the car flew across the

overpass, I was a little intrigued. This is not the same road we took yesterday. I was pretty familiar with

the roads in Riverdale. As far as I knew, it was impossible to get to Eric’s house from that road.

“Did we take the wrong road? This is not the road we took yesterday,” I reminded him.

“We are on the right way. We’re not leaving town today,” the driver replied.

“Aren’t you going to leave town? So where are we going now?”

“We’re heading to the Walker Group headquarters. Mr. Walker is at his company’s headquarters. So

President Smith told me to go directly to his company.”

“What?!” I exclaimed. I thought we were going to Eric’s, like yesterday!

At Eric’s house, only Georgie, his bodyguard, would be there. At most, his soul mate and confidant,

Camille, would also be there. Still, it’s not like I have much interaction with them. So even if Eric was

rude to me, it wouldn’t embarrass me too much. Also, he was probably snapping at me because he

was venting his anger over his beloved Camille. If the worst came to the worst, I would also apologize

to Camille.

However, we were now heading to his company. A person like Eric would have no less than ten

secretaries and special assistants! If he was adamant about venting his anger towards his beloved

woman… Is he going to make me apologize to him in front of his subordinates?! If that’s the case, my

reputation will be ruined forever! “Oh God. Just kill me already!”

Sighing heavily in my heart, I got out of the car and walked into the Walker Group building like a

zombie. Upon my entry, the beautiful receptionist politely greeted me, “Hello!”

“Hi, I’m looking for Mr. Walker. Please let him know I’m here.”

“Looking for Mr. Walker?” the receptionist repeated my question while looking me up and

down. Although the professional smile on her face remained, her tone was not as warm and friendly as

before. “May I know if you have a prior appointment?”

“No”, I replied. Never heard of needing an appointment just to apologize!

“I am really sorry; the agenda of Mr. Walker is too tight. I’m afraid he won’t be able to meet you if you

don’t have a prior appointment.”

I’m being rejected. So, I smile bitterly. There seems to be no more saving me from

embarrassment. Picking up my phone, I pulled his client from my contacts and called him. The phone

rang and rang, but no one answered. Eric is doing this on purpose! By intentionally refusing to take my

calls, he is flaunting his authority in my face! With no other choice, I persevered and continued dialing

his number.

At first, some of the receptionists still maintained a polite smile for me. After witnessing nearly a dozen

of my calls go unanswered, they started making fun of me. It was clear that I was being ignored by

Eric. Turning around, I walked over to the couch in the front hall and sat down. So I kept calling his

number non-stop. In the end, I called over 30 times before Eric’s voice finally came through the Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

phone. “Hello?”

Hearing that careless tone of his, my temper immediately flared!
