Chapter 278 I Prefer to Keep a Low Profile
On the other side of the video call, Eric watched Kate and Linus interact with a smile in his with indulgence.
eyes. filled
After chatting with Linus for a while, Kate turned her concern to Eric and asked, “Ric, have you been resting and eating well?”
Eric chuckled softly and nodded. “Of course, it’s your orders. I must obey.
Linus looked on in astonishment, observing Eric in a way he had never seen before. The Eric of the past had always been incredibly cold, even icy when facing them, but now, in front of Kate, his tender and loving side was showing.
Linus wanted to continue watching for a while longer but Hendrick bluntly pulled him away.
The couple was chatting, what are you doing here as a third wheel?
After they stepped outside, Linus dropped his casual demeanor and looked at Hendrick seriously. “Did Kate really give up on that Simon?”
Hendrick nodded and briefly explained the situation to Linus. Linus clicked his tongue in disapproval, his gaze deep and thoughtful as he looked towards the room. “That’s for the best. Eric seems okay with her, barely acceptable.”
“By the way, when are you guys planning to go back home?”
Hendrick pondered for a moment. Tll talk about some business later. We’ll head back after the fashion design exhibition wraps up in a few days.”
He sighed softly. “We all know Kate’s temperament. After the exhibition, she’ll probably be itching to go back home and find Eric.”
Linus remained silent, his eyes cast down as he pondered something. Then Hendrick asked, “And what about you? Are you going back home?”
There was a hint of complexity in Linus’s eyes, but he quickly masked it and replied casually, “Me? I’m heading to Norathis next. Got a lot on my plate.”
“Aren’t you famous for competing internationally? Why are you using a different name this time?”
Hendrick stared at Linus, curious.
Linus was also a top–tier international racer. In Haldoria, Linus’s name was well–known, and he was considered one of the best in the racing world.
But here in Krusada, these people clearly didn’t recognize Linus’s identity. If they did, why would they support that Hurricane?
Linus was surprised that he was instantly exposed, but he still insisted stubbornly, “How could that be? They paid me to compete!”
