Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 249

1Chapter 249
I smiled awkwardly in response. In fact, this ring was purchased when I married Carson back then. Despite its cheap, antique look, I still wore it on my finger, not because of how much I loved it, but because I needed to ‘prove’ how sweet Carson and I were, since things weren’t technically over for the two of us. us. Feeling a bitter pang. I helplessly replied, “Well, it sounds like you would buy the most beautiful ring for the woman you love, Mr. Walker.”
“Absolutely not. Instead, I would design it myself.” Hearing that, I looked at him in surprise, whereupon he met my gaze as my heart was beating rapidly. Intimidated, I put my head down and pretended I was drawing, which took me a while to calm down. However, I didn’t dare lift my head and cast my eyes on Eric again, just concentrating on my work at the computer. Meanwhile, Eric has apparently decided to leave me alone for the entire morning. Only after he knocked on my desk later did I lift my head to look at him.
“You are a workaholic. Come on, let’s have lunch!”
I responded with a buzzing affirmative and turned off my computer before getting up. Then, Eric led the way while asking, “You haven’t had a single glass of water today. I thought drinking enough water helped women stay young and beautiful?”
“Water is not my thing. I just like to drink coffee.”
Eric looked at me funny and replied, “You need to kick the habit.” Upon arriving at the restaurant, he told me to order while looking at his phone. Shortly after, his eyes fell on me as he said, “Give me your phone number?”
“Why?”
“Just stop asking questions and give it to me,” he replied impatiently.
I reluctantly unlocked my phone and handed it to him. After taking a look, he turned his attention to me. “Where is my phone number? Did you delete it again?”
I paused and immediately explained, “No, I didn’t.” However, I soon remembered changing Eric’s name to ‘client psycho’ in my contact list. Damn it! Did he just realize that? So I quickly tried to get my phone back from him, but Eric was still one step ahead when he showed me the phone’s screen and asked, “Who did this?”
At those two words and Eric’s angry look, I knew I couldn’t get away with his question, so I stammered, “W-Well, I didn’t know that. M-Maybe it’s my friend who accidentally did that.”
“Did your friend do this? Can she unlock your phone with her fingerprint?”
“Hmm… Well, she wanted to play some mobile games, so I lent them to her.” Knowing the lie wasn’t going to help much, I didn’t like the way Eric looked at me, so I continued with my bull-and-stick story.
“Okay, I guess it must be one of your friends who changed, but why didn’t you change back when you noticed?”
“Well, I didn’t even notice it in the first place.”
“Still not giving up lying, huh?” Eric looked at me with contempt and added, “What is it then?”
