"Are you sure?" When he spoke, he breathed directly on her ear, making her unconsciously shrink her
neck.
"Let me go." She whispered, "Grandpa is outside."
"He is in the living room." Eric whispered in her ear, "Silly girl, how could you be so brainless? Your
grandpa asked you to get me some water. He has apparently alienated us from each other. How dare
you do this?"
"No, you are thinking too much." She explained in a low voice.
"Am I thinking too much? Huh?" He finished his sentence a little longer, hugging her waist tighter, and
pressed his lips on her earlobe. "Use your brain to think about it. If I drank the water you poured, I'm
afraid I'm your saver."
Thinking about what he said, Lily thought that his words made sense. But she asked a stupid question,
"What's the relationship between us?"
The moment she asked this question, she regretted, and wanted to slap herself.
"What do you think?" Eric threw the question back to her.
"I I don't know." Lily blushed and lowered her head.
Although they had a clear relationship, she expressed her love to him in the daytime. However, there
was a thin layer of paper between them. If he didn't say it, she would not say it out. If he still asked her
to come forward, it would be a trap.
Although she was deeply hurt in her previous life, what she wanted most in this life was to have
someone who loved her sincerely to take care of her.
"You don't know?" Eric slightly narrowed his eyes, loosened his hands on her shoulders and turned her
around to face him. "We have kissed and embraced each other. I have seen every part of your body.
What kind of relationship do you think we have?"
Lily flushed with embarrassment. She lowered her head to avoid eye contact with Eric, and stammered,
"I... I Don't ask me that."
"Girl, look at me." He raised her chin and forced her to look at him. Eric looked at her earnestly and
said, "Listen to me carefully. I'll only say it once. Don't forget it."
Then he took a deep breath and said word by word, "I, I want you, be my woman."
Lily gasped in astonishment and looked at him in disbelief. She didn't expect Eric to say that. A boy of
seventeen said "I want you to be my woman" instead of "I want you to be my girlfriend." he was so
mature.
Seeing her like this, Eric laughed. He patted on her face gently and said, "Are you silly?"
"You are the fool." When Lily came to herself, she answered unconsciously.
"You are not a fool." Eric's hand was still on her face, unwilling to move away. He couldn't help but
pinch her soft cheeks.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily removed his hand angrily. "Does it hurt?"
"Huh." With a doting smile on his face, Eric reached out and held her in his arms. "I have to go now. It's
too late if I don't leave now. I have to come back home tonight. And tomorrow I have to go to my
grandpa's company to deal with some affairs."
"Okay." "Oh," Lily answered in a low voice.
With just a gentle hug, Eric loosened her, a little reluctant. But before he turned and walked out of the
kitchen, he kissed her fiercely. Of course, only for a moment, he released her.
"Remember what I said. You can only be my woman in this life." After saying that, he took a deep look
at her and turned around to leave.
Lily stood still. His domineering and gentle confession made her deeply touched.
His lifetime was quite long. He was only seventeen years old, and she was only fifteen now.
Before going back to the Gu family, Eric gave back Noble's car and took a taxi to go back.
Noble's car was a well-known car. If he drove directly back to the Gu family, and was seen by
someone, they would guess randomly and cause unnecessary trouble.
When he arrived at the Gu family, it was almost early in the morning. Almost everyone in the Gu family
had gone to bed. He did not live here very often, and even his parents seldom lived here. Unless there
was something wrong, he would stay for a few days.
Just as he walked to his room, he saw Frank coming back, who was reeking of alcohol.
Seeing him, Eric frowned unconsciously. Thinking of what Ellison said today, his face turned heavy, but
he did not show it too obviously.
"Oh, you've moved in today?" When he saw Eric, Frank, who was going to go back to the room,
stopped at the moment. His face was flushed and he let out a strong smell of alcohol from his voice.
"You are going to work tomorrow, aren't you?"
"Yes." Eric nodded indifferently. He frowned, but the indifferent expression on his face made people feel
very lazy. He said, "Grandpa has already put a knife on my neck. If I don't go there now, he will tie me
up by himself."
"Grandpa thinks highly of you and you should behave well." Frank patted him on the shoulder and
walked towards the room. "I'm going to have a rest. It's too tiring to deal with business."
"Okay. Have a good rest, brother." Eric replied calmly, looking at his back with cold light in his eyes.
Then he turned back to his room, which was not far from the artificial lake.
The next day, Eric didn't behave like a man who went to work. In the morning, it was still Wayne who
specially sent someone to wake him up for breakfast.
Even when he arrived at the living room, he didn't seem to wake up. He was still wearing casual
clothes, which made him look very lazy.
"Why are you still dressing like this? You are going to work." Jade couldn't help frowning when she saw
Eric coming in, just like a hostess.
Even on the table, Wayne did not say anything. He just looked at Eric indifferently, with a smile on his
face that no one noticed. Only he knew how smart his grandson was, but his lazy personality should be
changed.
"Eric, you should get changed. You should look like you are going to the company." Said Simon, who
also followed.
"Not bad." Wayne said and gave a resentful look at them. And then he turned to Eric and said, "Come
and have breakfast. Go to the company with me."
"Grandpa, do I have to go there?" He walked to the dining table and sat down. He looked at Wayne
with reproachful eyes and said, "Stay in the company isn't as relaxed as stay in home."
"Don't forget that you have promised." He put a glass of milk in front of Eric and urged, "Eat quickly.
Then we can leave together."
Eric raised his head lazily and looked at him. He picked up the glass of milk and took a sip. Then he
lowered his head and ate the food in front of him. But at the moment of lowering his head, no one saw
the unusual emotions in his black eyes.
After the breakfast, all the people went to work separately except for Jade. Simon and Frank were in
the same car. Eric took the car with Wayne, and there was a special driver for them.
Along the way, Eric almost closed his eyes, leaning lazily against the back of the seat, and Wayne
looked back at him from time to time.
"Eric, remember to behave well after you come to the company. Don't always act like a frivolous man.
Otherwise, the employees won't trust you." Wayne said.
"Okay." Eric answered quickly.
"Pay more attention to the business." "You know, grandpa is old now, and maybe one day I suddenly
leaves the world. Before I leave, I have to deal with the company affairs well. Although uncle Simon
and your father are both in the company, and so is Frank, I still hope you can help me with the
company affairs."
"Grandpa." Eric lazily opened his eyes and said, "You're so strong. It's no problem for you to live
another dozens of years. Besides, do you think it's suitable for me to work in a company?"
"As long as you are willing to help me manage the company, you can make any requirements."
"Really?" Eric asked.
"Of course." Wayne answered.
"I need an independent office." Eric requested.
"I will arrange for you when you get involved in the company."
"I want it now."
"Eric," Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Eric, "You just said you could agree
with me, but if you can't, I won't go to the company."
This is a threat!
Wayne could do nothing but agree. Although his grandson was not very interested in the company, he
knew that if he was in charge of it, the company's profit would definitely be getting better and better.
When they arrived at the company, Simon and Frank got off earlier than them, they had already been
waiting in front of the company building. Since Wayne seldom came to the company, they naturally had
to wait. In addition, it was the first day that Eric came to the company today.
After all, they didn't know what kind of arrangement Wayne would make for Eric. Although Wayne didn't
pay special attention to Eric or show much concern for him, as a member of the Gu family, Simon could
see that his father treated Eric better than Frank.
After getting out of the car, Eric walked in the front, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He seemed to
be so lazy that he didn't care about his grandfather. As Wayne, he seemed to be accustomed to it as
well. There was no dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he smiled.
Eric didn't even glance at them when passing by them, and walked directly into the company building.
