Chapter 366
“No!” we yelled in unison.
There was a strange expression on the driver’s face as he was speechless. Meanwhile, Eric reverted to his usual cocky self by saying, “Lilian Hawkins, I demand that you step out of the car immediately!”
“Why should I?”
“Because I am your customer and there is a problem with your plant, so get out of the car now!”
“Today is my day off.” I was exasperated by their antics.
“Think carefully, there will be dire consequences if you don’t come with me! His firm isn’t the only design firm in Riverdale. With that, he left without a hitch.
What does that mean? Is he trying to threaten me using Jolene as leverage? Eric had a short temper, so I would be in trouble if he decided to make Jolene an offer because I wasn’t cooperating. When weighing the consequences, I paid the tickets before getting out of the taxi, as I could only give in.
A car zipped past me and into the parking lot just as I climbed the steps, where Georgie was. Scared as I was, I wondered why Eric would call a cab. From the looks of it, he must have done it on purpose.
Eric was nowhere to be seen when I entered the lobby, but I bumped into Jenny on my way out of the elevator, who was taken aback by my sudden visit. “Lily, good to see you! Didn’t you tell me you took a few days off?”
His enthusiasm was met with a feeble response from me. “I wasn’t planning to come, but I met your president, who told me that there are some problems with my project.”
“This is pitiful!”
“I fully agree!” We arrived at my office while we were talking and I opened the door.
Jenny followed behind me like she said. “Kevin has been asking about you during his absence.”
“Didn’t you tell him I’m married?” I said as I sat down.
“I did but he didn’t believe me as he wanted his personal confirmation,” Jenny said as she followed suit. “Looks like he fell in love with you!”
“Stop talking nonsense. You should also make him stop asking about me, as I am afraid of him.”
“Why?”
“Your president scolded me for seducing male employees at his company after Kevin’s girlfriend filed a complaint against him.”
“Why would President Walker care about that? Does he have that much free time? Also, I never heard anything about Kevin having a girlfriend!” What I said seemed to surprise Jenny.
“Who knows. All I knew was that I was so embarrassed I wanted to hide in a corner. It was only then that I remembered that Callie had come to meet Eric, so I asked Jenny, “Did a young woman come visit President Walker today?”
“Yes, she was waiting for President Walker in the lobby since morning. At first glance, I thought it was you, so I went to say hello before I realized I had the wrong person.”
“Do you know why she is here?”
“She appears to be a junior of his from the outside. As she graduated much earlier than her peers, maybe she is planning to work at his company after coming back here,” Jenny replied.

“So that’s how it is. What position do you think she will receive?” The situation piqued my curiosity.
