Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264
However, my concern was unnecessary. After Dylan and I exited the elevator and entered the VIP lounge, Eric and Camille were nowhere to be seen.
I remembered that Eric had thrown the ticket in the trash can, so he probably wouldn’t deign to pick it up again. Maybe he’s not here to watch the opera. Since there will be an orchestra in the nearby concert hall, perhaps they are here for the
orchestra.
The thought made me feel relieved. Ten minutes after Dylan and I were seated, the opera started. Since Eric and Camille were still nowhere to be seen, I felt completely at ease.
As I waited for the performance to begin, the lights slowly dimmed. Suddenly, I smelled perfume, which made me sneeze. Dylan, who was sitting to my right, turned to me and asked worriedly, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“No.” As soon as I finished my words, I felt that someone was sitting next to me, turning around. I was stunned to
see Eric.
Fortunately, I happened to have covered my mouth with my hand. Noticing Eric, Dylan flashed him a smile. “What a coincidence.”
“Yes, what a coincidence.” Although Eric wasn’t as indifferent to Dylan as he was to Carson, his tone couldn’t be called hospitable.
Without turning around, I glanced over at Eric’s side and wondered why Camille wasn’t here.
Just when I was deep in thought, Eric suddenly smiled in a perfunctory way. “Ma’am, don’t you think it’s inappropriate to look at me like that?”
His words made me blush as I hurriedly explained, “No, I wasn’t looking at you.”
“So you’re saying I’m flattering myself.” Eric chased.
“Err… President Walker, where is Ms. Sanders?”
“Are you close to her?” he questioned impassively.
What an uncommunicative man! I turned around in embarrassment. Suddenly, Dylan asked with a grimace, “President Walker, don’t you think your speech is rude?”
Apparently, Dylan was unhappy that Eric had spoken to me that way.
“I don’t think so,” Eric refuted. “It’s Mrs. Hawkins who showed me no education at first. As her client, she pretended she didn’t know me.”
“President Walker, you are off work now,” Dylan recalled. “Besides, as a gentleman, you must greet a lady first.”
“I’m not a gentleman and I’m used to being greeted first.” Eric looked at Dylan provocatively.
Dylan was also a powerful man. Afraid that he would make a fuss over Eric’s words, I quickly pulled his hand away and gestured to him with my gaze that we were in a theater, so he shouldn’t fight with Eric.
Understanding my gesture, Dylan flashed me a smile and calmed down. Unfortunately, Eric was relentless and sneered, “Mrs. Hawkins, you are so unrestrained. As a married woman, you are holding another man’s hand in public without any qualms. What will your husband think if he sees this?”
Upon hearing this, Dylan raised an eyebrow at him. “President Walker, you look as innocent as if you’ve never held a married woman’s hand before.”
With an obvious tone in his words, he emphasized ‘married woman’. In an instant, Eric turned somber and threw a stern look at Dylan, who stared straight at him.
