Chapter 89 For You , Its Worth It When I finally remembered to send a glance his way , I saw him staring tenderly at me , his eyes full of so much affection that it left me feeling flustered .
Do you like it ? he asked .
This is a surprise that took me three days to prepare .
Just consider it a gift from me to celebrate the start of your business Eric was obviously saying something , but I couldnt make out the words at all .
I could feel my throat tightening though .
This was honestly the first time anyone had ever done something like this for me .
In my previous life , 1 experienced great hurt , hence I was sure that my heart would never again be swayed by a man in this life .
However , I couldnt help but admit that right here , right now , my heart was confused .
I couldnt accurately describe my own emotions , but what I did low was that all I wanted to do right now was hug Eric , who was standing next to me .
Tinstinctively reached out .
While he was sitting there in a daze , Thugged him tightly .
Thank you , I said with heartfelt gratitude .
Thank you for doing so much for me , Eric .
Im really happy ! I didnt know it he heard what I said , but I could clearly feel his body stiffen .
And then he hugged me back .
Large fireworks exploded above our heads , etching our shadows into the ground .
In that instant , I heard his reply loud and clear .
Youre welcome .
As long as youre happy , everything I do is worth it .

My eyes immediately reddened , and I hugged him even more tightly .
For me to meet someone who treated me better than my parents did , it was worth living this life all over again .
The fireworks faded away , leaving only silence behind .
When I came back to my senses , I finally realized what I had just done and quickly let go of Eric , feeling my face grow warm Sorry , I acted too impulsively just now , 1 said in embarrassment .
I hugged you because I was just too happy .
I lowered my head , my heart thumping so hard it felt like it would leap out of my chest at any moment .
I didnt dare look to see what expression Eric was currently wearing .
He seemed to be chuckling softly .
I understand , he said reassuringly .
But to get a hug in exchange for a fireworks display ? Thats the biggest , most pleasant surprise Ive received today .
My heart skipped a beat .
I quickly waved him off dismissively .
Its getting late .
Since the fireworks show is over , lets head back , I suggested .
I ran toward the car as if the hounds of hell themselves were after me .
I didnt have the courage to look back at Eric .
After a while , Eric finally joined me in the car .
He looked sideways at me , the warm , yellow lightning in the car bringing out a softer side to his handsome , prominent features .
I received a message from one of my men just now .
He reported that the talks between Mr.
Flint and the game investors proceeded smoothly , and theyve already agreed to invest in his project .
I was instantly overjoyed .
Really ? Thats great news ! Once Zacharys game officially launches , the prospects will be limitless ! Eric stared at nue with amusement .
Why do you think that Mr.
Flints game will become popular throughout the country ? Ive seen his game before .
Although I can see the potential , its current standard is not quite up to par just yet .
Logically speaking , you shouldnt be interested in such a project .
I linked and shot him a mysterious smile .
Thats a secret .
Ill tell you if the opportunity arises in the future .
Besides , I think that Zacharys game is really good .
Although some aspects of it are still unpolished , as long as the team improves upon it , itll definitely Eric nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any more questions He drove me back home .
Just as we arrived at my house , I received a call from Levi .
Ill be back in the country tomorrow afternoon , Jane ! he announced cheerfully .
You have to come pick me up , okay ? Ive prepared many gifts for your new humid n for My Jinete Bike Chapter 90 Abandoning Him for My Juniors Sake 1 didnt know if Eric heard Levis enthusiastic voice through the phone , but his expression visibly darkened .
For some reason , I felt a little guilty .
Dont worry , Ill definitely be at the airport on time tomorrow afternoon , I told Levi reassuringly .
After hanging up , I looked at Eric , whose expression seemed to be getting darker .
There was a displeased frown on his face .
and I cleared my throat light , Tll be going in first , then .
My junior will be back tomorrow , so I probably wont have time to meet with you for the next two days .
But dont worry , if the launch of my brand goes smoothly , well be reaping hefty profits in the future .
With that said , I was about to get out of the car when Eric suddenly grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me back .
As I looked up , I happened to meet his intense paze , and my heartbeat quickened .
Is there something else ? I asked nervously Eric stared silently at me , that dissatisfied frown still on his face .
Are you going to abandon me for your junior ? he asked at last .
Abandon him ? Where was this coming from ? I stared blankly at Eric , distinctly aware of the burning warmth of his fingertips .
I instinctively tried to retract my hand , only for him to hold on even more tightly .
Thats o s quite perplexing to hear , Mr.
Flint Were friends , so whats with this talk of abandonment ? I asked in confusion .
Without waiting for his reply , I continued , If theres anything you need help with , Ill definitely offer my aid ! Of course , such an opportunity might not present itself in my entire lifetime .
I sighed inwardly , but Eric did not respond and continued to stare unmovingly at me Again , I said tentatively , If theres nothing else , Ill be getting out of the car first .
There are still many things I have to prepare for tomorrow , so I have to rest early .
Something seemed to flicker in his eyes .
He finally retracted his hand , nodding calmly at me .
I took this as my cue to get out of the car and dart into the villa .
Before closing the door , I happened to see Eric getting out of the car as well .
I didnt know what he was thinking about , but there was a thoughtfulness to his gaze .
He really had a strange way of thinking .
Even if our current relationship was indeed more ambiguous than before , why was he bringing up the topic of abandonment ? He made me feel as if I owed him something 1 shook my head , trying to clear away my chaotic thoughts .
I then quickly washed up and went to sleep .
The next morning , I finished the design drafts that I was worlding on before glancing at the time and realizing that it was about time to head to the airport Not long after arriving at the airport , I saw a fashionably dressed blond man wearing sunglasses walk out .
When Levi saw me , he waved excitedly as he dragged his suitcase over to me .
Long time no see , Jane ! he called out .
Before I could say anything , he suddenly reached out and gave me a glant lig .
Falmost suffocated in his embrace and hurriedly tapped him on the back Alright , no need to be so enthusiastic , I said in a strangled voice .
If you hug me any longer , Im going to pass out ! Levichuckled before finally letting go of me .
I was just too excited to see you , Jane .
Oh , thats right ! Im hungry , so how about we have I nodded and instructed the driver to send his luggage to my house .
I then led Levi to a restaurant where I had made reservations in During our tural , Levi asked why I had suddenly returned to the fashion industry , so I briefly explained the situation to him .
After bearing my story , Levi angrily slammed a hand on the table .
Chapter 90 Abandoning Him for My Juniors Sake DZ Jeremiah went too far ! he yelled indignantly .
You wouldnt have left the studio all those years ago if not for him , yet he dares to treat you this way ! If I ever see him later on , Im definitely going to give him a beating and show him whos boss ! His words brought a laugh out of me .
Why would you beat him up ? I asked in amusement .
Wrongdoers will always get their just desserts , so even if we dont do anything , hes not going to be able to swagger around for long .
