Chapter 417
‘B-But I have something else to attend to,’ I refused. Aldovia and England would be fine, but Germania? I didn’t know a word of German, and getting a translator was a hassle.
‘What things? Maybe I can help with your business.
‘No you can not.’
‘How do you know I can’t when you’re not even telling me about it?’
‘I can not go now. You know my situation. If I leave, these bastards might sabotage me, and there’s nothing I can do about it. It wasn’t totally untrue, as I was worried that Carson and Jolene might deceive me, but that was only part of the problem – I also wanted to see if Eric would really help me.
‘Don’t worry about that. If you do as I say, I will teach them a lesson for you.
He didn’t look like he was kidding. ‘Are you really going to help me?’
‘Clear.’ Shortly after, he smiled at me. ‘But not for free. What is your offer?’
‘I thought I agreed to be your model last time?’
‘This is different. Now tell me, what are you going to do this time?’
‘What do you want?’
‘What I want? Hm, let me think about it.’ He got up and came forward. When he was standing next to me, he gave me a look. ‘Why don’t you become my friend with benefits?’
I blushed. ‘This is a joke?’
‘Do I look like I’m kidding?’ He breathed into my ear softly.
Immediately, I felt electrified. Damn it, Eric. Does he think I’m easy? ‘Sir. Walker, I know you’re confused after what happened last night, but I’m not an easy
woman.’
“I never said you are. He smiled. ‘I kept thinking about you after I went home last night. Did you do the same?
What? There’s no way I’m going to believe that, and I bet he says that to every woman he meets. Thinking about it, I looked at him. ‘I already said. Last night was just a mistake, Mr. Walker. I have no ideas about you and please don’t disturb me.
“You’re just a married woman. Don’t act haughtily. His face fell, and he went back to his seat.
It changed faster than I could say ‘what’ but that’s okay. At least I didn’t have to be so nervous that I lost all control of my body. Silence ensued, and a moment later he said, ‘What about the research? You are going?’
‘I am, but… I don’t want to go alone. I don’t adapt well to new places.’ I didn’t refuse anymore.
Eric calmed down a bit. ‘I thought you weren’t afraid of anything? I’m sure you can adapt easily. Furthermore, do you also give this excuse to President Smith when he sends you on business trips?’
‘He only sends us on domestic trips, so there’s no language barrier. And you’re not him,” I muttered under my breath.
‘Okay, okay. You are so stupid that you can get lost with the GPS there. I’ll get someone to go with you.
‘Who’s going with me? I don’t want someone I don’t know, otherwise it would be a boring trip with no one to talk to.
“Who would you like then?”
