Vera glanced at Eric, then at Eileen, “Eric, Eileen just had a fright. Please don’t intimidate. her.”

Vera didn’t like it when Eric was alone with Eileen. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder if Eric truly had feelings for her.

Vera had never truly heard Eric express his affection for her.

Eric shot her a sharp, icy glance, which frightened Mary so much that she immediately turned around and ran away.

Until there were only two people left in the living room.

“Look up,” his voice was commanding, issuing orders.

Eileen lifted her head, staring into his dark, piercing eyes. There was an intimidating aura

about him.

Eric chuckled lightly. “Do you know where your biggest flaw lies, Eileen? I don’t appreciate it when you lie to me!”
