“You can’t break your promise. Even if it’s hard, you have to keep going. You don’t want to ruin your integrity.”
Not daring to answer him, I left with the chocolate in my hand. When I got back to my office, Jenny came in with a cup of milky tea. “Here, Lily.”
“Thanks.” I put the cup of tea with milk on my desk.
Jenny then sat across from me. “Did you yell at you, Lily?”
“No.” I was about to ask her about Kevin’s girlfriend but stopped myself before I could. Kevin and Jenny were just colleagues, so personal matters weren’t going to be discussed. Besides, Kevin’s girlfriend complaining about me to Eric wasn’t something to be proud of, so I’d better keep quiet.
“Do you know why he didn’t yell at you?”
“No. And you?”
“Clear. I took a look at Ms. Sanders, and she comes back today. I bet he didn’t yell at you because he’s happy.”
“President Walker really cares about her, huh?” I answered. Now that she’s back, he wouldn’t ask me out to dinner tonight.
“Clear. They are a perfect match. And Melanie said we just hired a chef from Sichuan who can do all the cuisine there. Management says it’s for our customers, but we know it’s actually for Ms. Sanders. She loves spicy food.”
I was surprised that Eric was so nice to her. Honestly, I thought he was an aloof, selfish man who didn’t know how to take care of a woman, so I didn’t expect him to go that far for Camille. No wonder Camille loved him so much. If any other woman had him as a boyfriend, they would never leave. Then I remembered Dylan saying the Walkers would never allow Eric to marry Camille. If that were the case, their relationship would be rocky.
When it was time to leave work, I stayed behind for a while. From what Jenny told me, Eric didn’t want to contact me anymore, but I was wrong as he texted me, ‘I have something to sort out. Let’s go out a little later’
So I called Carson. “Honey, I might be late tonight at the hospital to see Eliza. There is business to attend to.”
“You don’t have to come if you’re busy, honey. Eliza is fine. My parents are taking care of her.”
As if I wanted to see Eliza. However, I had to do a show anyway. “You can’t say that. She is her sister, so of course I have to visit her.”
“Honey, your concern is greatly appreciated, but that is not the reason this time. I don’t want my parents to bother you.”
“Why would they bother me?”
