Chapter 373
“You liar!” Startled by what I said, Eric suddenly scolded me before putting the medicine away in his drawer. “Why are you just sitting there? Bring me some teal.” I quickly got up to leave after grabbing his cup, but he called after me as soon as I reached the door, “Do you know what kind of tea I want?”
“What tea would you like, Mr. Walker?” I repeated myself. Didn’t he tell me he liked black tea last time? Has he changed his
mind?
“Bring me soine verde
“All good.” Opening the door, I saw Callie standing in the doorway with another of Eric’s secretaries. She smiled at me as soon as she saw me leaving the room with a glass in my hand, which reminded me of what she just told Eric about me. Despite wanting to punch her in the face, I decided against it as I walked past her with the glass, a blank expression on my face.
In the pantry, I disinfected the cup with some hot water before adding a bunch of tea leaves to her cup, then headed to the office after pouring some hot water into it. Callie’s voice could be heard as soon as I opened the door. “Can I move to another position?”
“Clear.” That amiable attitude of his towards her was irritating to watch.
“Here is your tea, Mr. Walker!” I handed him the tea, my face devoid of emotion.
“Lily!” Callie greeted me.
As I nodded in acknowledgment, Eric took a sip of the tea I made him before immediately furrowing his brows. “Why does it taste so bad?”
“Mr. Walker, I am not familiar with the task, so please accept my poor tea-making skills.”
“Why do you look unhappy? Your tea is tasteless, so why shouldn’t I criticize it?” A frown formed on his face as he stared. at me with a sullen expression. “Go make me another cup”
I was not his employee, so I saw no reason to tolerate his behavior any longer, as I might just quit if the worst happened. Just as I was about to answer, the phone in his office rang, so he reached over to put it on speaker. A woman’s voice came. “President Walker, Miss Hamilton, the designer from Figuro Design and Co., has arrived and she would like
to meet you.”
While wearing a sly smile, Eric looked into my eyes, in which I saw hints of mischief. Will he decide to meet with Jolene if I cross him? The thought managed to instantly dispel my anger as I lowered my head.
it was
then that he instructed me in front of Callie, “Why are you still standing there? Go make me some tea!”
Having repressed my anger, I clenched my teeth, wanting to turn and leave with his glass in hand, but not before he called out to me, “Make one for Miss Torres, lol!” You sucker
! Are you treating me like your servant? Despite the urge to throw the glass in his face, I swallowed my pride as soon as I remembered that Jolene was waiting for his answer on the phone. I have to repress my anger! I have to bear it! Such were my thoughts as I strode out of the room. Jenny asked as soon as she saw my fury as I walked up to her. “Lily, did President Walker bother you?”
