Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 403

His words immediately piqued my anger and I snapped, ‘What do you mean by that? I’m an honest

person, unlike idiots like you who only play with women!

Eric scoffed, ‘Are you up? Are you sure you don’t have any other projects for Richard? Anyone who is a

little smarter can tell you’re flirting with him.

Annoyed, I retorted, ‘Even if it’s true, it has nothing to do with you. So I don’t need your pretentious,

gentle reminder.

‘I’m saying this for your own good, you ungrateful thing’

“Hail, you two-faced traitorous idiot. Are you always making things difficult for me in my designs

because you think I’m a pushover? You even came to my house to rat me out. Is this the proper

behavior of a man? I argued, refusing to back down.

‘You’re something, aren’t you? Berating myself in front of so many people without any regard for my

reputation and deciding to quit anyway. What’s more, you even brazenly said that you would pay for the

losses and gave me an ugly face when I was at your door. What kind of irrational person are you?

“That’s because I was so mad at you. If you didn’t play with Jolene, would I have an argument with

you? The moment I said that I felt my face burn, it looked like I was jealous but God only knew that

wasn’t what I meant.

‘Joking? That’s a terrible way to put it. I can’t even meet someone else?

‘I didn’t say you can’t meet anyone else, but you must be true to your words and not hand over the

interior design project to Jolene after you promise me!’

Instead of exploding, Eric actually calmly explained to me, ‘I was doing a friend a favor, so I had no

choice but to meet with her for a while. We don’t talk about the project all the time.’

‘Friend? You also used that as an excuse last time to deceive me. Do you consider me an idiot?

‘I really don’t intend to collaborate with her. How can I work with her given her personality and the way This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

she’s been treating you?’ Her tone was so gentle and tender now that it sounded like she was making

an affectionate confession.

However, that was enough to calm me down a bit for some unknown reason. ‘But before that, you kept

telling me you’d be working

with her.’

‘I was just saying that as a joke to tease you, silly.’ He sighed helplessly. When he called me ‘silly’, my

heart skipped a beat and I looked into his eyes involuntarily.

The look in his eyes was so kind that I quickly ducked my head shyly, afraid to meet their eyes any

further as I mumbled, ‘It’s not funny as a joke, and I didn’t like it.’

“I won’t make those jokes again, then. But you’ll have to promise not to make me unhappy again.

‘When did I do this?’

‘I don’t want you to flirt with Kevin, you hear me? You even danced with him! Are you trying to take me

to the grave?

‘You died?’ Almost instantly, I blushed as I realized our conversation sounded like an argument

between a couple with a misunderstanding.

‘I almost died. Look how my leg got hurt because of your kick!’ he exclaimed and lifted his pant leg to

show me his calf.

A bruise, obviously the result of my kick, appeared on her pale leg and I couldn’t help but feel guilty at

the sight of it. ‘Sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose, but I was so furious before.

‘It’s bad enough when you didn’t do it on purpose. Will I lose a leg if you do this deliberately?

‘Fine, I won’t kick you again.’ Taking another look at the bruise, I asked in a rueful tone, ‘Does it

hurt?’Chapter 403

‘You bet it does. Want to prove it yourself?

‘No.’ So I stopped myself from saying anything else, as I suddenly realized that the posture between us

had closed without my noticing it, and we were so close that I could smell the pleasant scent on him.

The air seemed to freeze as I sat there, motionless, as he looked down at me. ‘Lilian, you are so

beautiful!’
