Seeing my parents smiles widening with satisfaction , I knew that they had misunderstood the situation .
Seeing that the situation was going awry , I quickly got them to their feet .
Alright , Mom and Dad .
Its getting late .
You should head home now , Ill visit you when I have time ! After seeing my parents off , I returned to the living room .
Eric was lounging comfortably on the couch with one hand propping up his face as he looked at me leisurely .
Are you planning to start a business ? I nodded .
Feeling awkward after the earlier situation , I spoke up , You dont have to take what my parents said too seriously .
Theyre just worried that it my business fails , it might discourage me , so they asked someone with experience to give me a word of advice .
Eric raised an eyebrow before standing up and slowly walking toward me .
His tall figure loomed over me , and I could almost smell the cool , woody fragrance of his cologne , causing me to lose focus for a moment .
Even if they hadnt said anything , I wouldve still helped you if you got into trouble .
Ive always been open with you .
He leaned in , his warm breath brushing across my face , making my heartbeat quicken involuntarily .
He sure knew how to flirt with others .
I was about to distance myself from him when suddenly , his large hands locked around my waist .
I jerked my head up , meeting Erics cold , dark eyes .
W What are you doing ? I was so nervous that I started stammering The smile in Erics eyes deepened as he glanced behind me .
Theres a table behind you , Where do you plan to retreat to ? I turned to look , only to realize my legs were about to hit the table corner .
Thanks .
I pushed him away and quickly retreated to the back of the couch .
He chuckled lightly at my reaction.
Am I some kind of monster ? Why are you running away from me ? I pressed my lips together and felt my face heating up as soon as I remembered what had happened that night .
Im not avoiding you .
I just think we shouldnt get too close .
Also , you can take those supplements back .
I dont need them .
The joy in his eyes seemned to fade a little .
He stared at me for a few seconds , then said softly , Why shouldnt we get too close ? I hadnt expected him to press the issue , making me feel even more embarrassed .
In the end , I had no choice but to push him out .
Its nothing .
Anyway , its late .
I need to rest .
Please leave After slamming the door shut , I exhaled in relief .
My heart , which had been racing , finally began to calm down .
I didnt know why , but every time I faced him now , I felt more nervous than before .
The next day , I was planning to return the supplements to him .
Before I could leave , an unexpected guest arrived .
Jae , can we talk again ? Seeing Jeremiah , who had shown up uninvited , I couldnt help but sneer , Mr.
Cornell , are you really that desperate to come see me ?
