Chapter 3 Meeting Eric Again

lesson by him. Sharon bobbed her head. The next second, seemingly suddenly recalling something, she continued, “By the way, Ms. Eileen, Mr. Swan asked me to tell you he can’t make it back for a banquet and wants you and Mr. Snow to attend on his behalf.” Eileen was momentarily stunned. In her previous life, Will had only asked Eric to go, so she wondered why she was included this time. Pouting, she nodded obediently. It seems I’ll be meeting Eric again soon. On the day of the banquet, the servants brought the evening gown prepared for her early in the morning. Eileen glanced at the outfit. It was a pink dress, its fluffy skirt adorned with dazzling gemstones that sparkled under the light. Will had always been willing to spend money on his only daughter, but there was no real father-daughter affection between Eileen and him.

By the time Eileen changed into her evening gown and finished preening herself, it was already evening. The sound of a car horn came from outside. Eileen looked out the window and saw a black Bentley driving into the courtyard. Eric had returned. Gripping the hem of her dress, Eileen turned around and prepared to head downstairs. As she descended the stairs, she saw Eric standing in the living room with his arms crossed. His tall and upright figure was clad in a crisp, black suit. Even as he stood motionless in his spot, he exuded an overwhelming, aloof, and noble aura. When observed up close, his countenance appeared all the more stunning, carrying an intimidating sense of authority and steadfastness inherent in those of higher status. A man like him was naturally attractive to women. In the past, I was also enchanted by this very outward form of his, wasn’t I? I threw myself at him
