Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 450

‘The lady asked me if it was I who left those marks on her neck, and she even praised my dexterity. That is all!’
Chapter 450
‘B’stard!’ My face burned again when I remembered the previous incident. Don’t tell me he left a lot of marks on my neck? How embarrassing! I quickly covered my neck.
Excited, Eric grabbed my hand with a smirk. “I was just teasing you. The truth is that she asked me if the beautiful lady is my girlfriend, to which I replied yes.
‘Liar! You all said much more than that.
‘She asked if we were here on vacation and recommended some places to visit.’
‘That is all?’
‘Yes.’
I still didn’t quite believe him, but there was nothing I could do as I didn’t understand German.
It was past 11 pm, so the streets were starting to get empty. Holding my hand, Eric led me to a nearby restaurant. He ordered very familiarly and even arrogantly demanded that I eat with him. Shaking my head, I declined, only to have him smile meaningfully at me as he said, ‘We’ll do some exercise later, so what if you don’t have energy if you don’t eat?’
I never knew he was so naughty! Anyway, women obviously lost when it came to verbal debates with men, so I ignored him and turned my head elsewhere. Internally, I wondered, is he saying he won’t let me get away tonight? Looks like I have to figure out a way to delete it
later.
After eating, Eric refused to go back to the hotel, insisting on taking a leisurely walk. Totally anxious, I wasn’t in the mood to play tourist, but he hailed a taxi and chatted amiably with the driver. Soon, the taxi stopped in front of a cathedral.
Getting out of the taxi, I looked at the tall cathedral in front of me. I could guess the name of the cathedral, and Eric subsequently confirmed my guess, saying, ‘This is Frankfurt Cathedral’.
‘Why are we here at this hour? This cathedral closes at 6:00, doesn’t it?
‘I have my ways.’ Eric gave me a sly smile. He then spoke in German to the cathedral caretaker, although I had no idea what he said, and the person actually allowed us into the cathedral. Of course, it wasn’t for nothing, as I saw him handing the person a wad of bills. Money sure makes the world go round, I groaned inwardly.
The Frankfurt Cathedral was a building of Gothic architecture, built between the 13th and 15th centuries. It was also known as the Imperial Cathedral and the Coronation Cathedral. I read a summary about the Imperial Cathedral in the travel guide, so I knew it had 332 steps leading to the top of the tower with panoramic views of the entire city. The main building was a magnificent 15th-century Gothic tower, 95 meters high. The polling hall on the south side was once where the coronation ceremony was held, and it was said that many emperors of Germania were
crowned here.
Eric must have visited this place before as he familiarly led me to the stairs and gave me an overview of the cathedral as I walked up the stairs. He must exercise regularly, as this flight of stairs is a breeze for him, with his expression serene, and he’s not panting or flushed.
ME
On the contrary, I had difficulties. I rarely exercised, so I was out of breath when I climbed 20 or 30 steps. Seeing his nonchalant expression, I was too embarrassed to ask for a break, gritted my teeth and walked up the stairs with him, counting inwardly as I went. Arduously reaching the 100th step, I finally collapsed on the stairs without a care for my image and gasped heavily, my legs numb, my heartbeat racing and utterly drained.
energy.
Eric smirked at me. ‘I told you to eat early, but you didn’t listen. Do you know the gravity of your disobedience now? If such is your stamina, how can you do any exercise?’
