“Are you home? I’ll be coming back, as there’s something I have to discuss with
you.” “I am. I’ll wait for you,” Erica replied gently.
With the video and contract in hand, Alex left to meet Erica. Currently, the Tillman Residence looked deserted. In the past, Mrs. Garner would open the door for him whenever he came home. Now, he had to enter the password himself to open the door.
Upon entering the house, Alex found Erica, who was waiting for his arrival, sitting on the sofa. Erica was speculating that Alex wanted to discuss the future of the company with her.
“Where’s Mrs. Garner?” Alex asked curiously.
“She quit and went back home since I
don’t need a servant when I’m by myself.” Erica explained. Since yesterday afternoon, she had been watching the news to see if there were any reports of
dead bodies found in the sea, but not once did the image of Mrs. Garner appear on the news. This made her think that Mrs. Garner might have disappeared from the face of the earth forever, or perhaps Mrs. Garner had already been. chewed to bits by the sharks. Regardless, Mrs. Garner no longer existed in this world.
“Erica, were you afraid of being by yourself last night?” Alex asked as soon as he sat down.
“I was fine. I wasn’t that afraid when I thought of you.” Erica looked at Alex flirtatiously.
After Alex looked at the woman as though he was watching a theater play, he took out his iPad and played a certain video. Immediately after, the room was filled with what Erica had said the night before: ‘If you try to refuse me again, I will fire you first thing the next morning.”
Frightened, Erica blanched at once and tried to grab the iPad from his hand like a madman while shamelessly glaring at him. “Why… Why do you have this?”
Alex closed the video before he sneered, “You still have the nerve to ask me? When you were the one who had slept with one of my employees? Erica Tillman, are you playing some sort of sick game of infidelity with me?’
