Chapter 118 Damn, Respect!
Back then, the primary concern was Eric’s risk of a relapse, so sharing a room ensured he could be helped quickly if something went wrong
As a result, neither of them spoke much.
Each time they returned to the villa, their interactions were limited to meals and rest
Eric offered a quiet suggestion.
“When you’re feeling guilty, sometimes talking more helps.”
Alice was speechless.
She abruptly turned off the bedroom light.
Darkness instantly swept through the room.
Silence followed,
Only the soft sound of breathing remained.
“Mr. Eric, you’re quite the refined gentleman”
Her tone was gentle and light.
Though her voice came from the left, she had already shifted to the right.
“You can wreck someone’s lungs with a single sentence, and not even have to clean up the mess”
In the darkness
A shadow swifilu chified.
Eric briefly shut his eyes.
Then, he reached out.
His large palm landed on a pair of delicate hands.
Almost automatically.
His fingers closed around them.
A soft, fragrant figure was drawn into his arms.
The scent intensified.
Hovering between them.
Soon, that fragrance quietly invaded his chest, wrapping tighter with every breath.
Perhaps his heart tried to escape the sweetness, and in doing so, beat furiously.
In the hush of night, his pounding heartbeat seemed to echo around him.
“Mr. Enc.”
Her voice came from just beneath his chin
As she spoke, a breath of warmth swept over the stubble on his j
jaw

His Adam’s apple moved.
His breath came unevenly.
Unconsciously, he held her even clover
Her calm voice came agam.
“Mr. Eric, you should he down
Eric’s back stiffened

There was playfulness in her soft voice.
“The toxins in your system are spreading
I need to give you some acupuncture”
Eric’s mind snapped into focus.
In the next second.
He felt a rush of heat to his nose,
At that moment, the lights came on
He squinted instinctively.
And in that brief instant, a drop of fresh blood landed on Alice’s hand
Eric was speechless.
He quickly pulled away and turned to stop the bleeding.
Alice remained calm and spoke reassuringly.
“It’s just a nosebleed, no big deal.
“The toxins in your body are strong. The herbal soak we used had potent effects, so this is normal.”
Eric cleaned up quietly, then lay down.
He closed his eyes.
And he said nothing more.
Alice’s earlier remorse had vanished, so she didn’t try to comfort him.
If a grown man was spooked by a little nosebleed, he probably wasn’t cut out for the Nolan Group.
The following day.
Ruby issued an internal announcement.
She informed the company that a meeting with Levi had been arranged to address the latest problems.
The news gave employees a morale boost.
Everyone started calling Ruby the company’s good luck charm.

So, schen Alice arrived at the office, she saw an unexpected guest inside the Nolan Group building.
At first, people just thought he looked familiar.

The lobby was soon flooded with people.
No one cared about work anymore; they just wanted to see their idol
Alice and Eric entered the Inuilding as the commotion unfolded.

Levisers really cooperative, too. He’s even wasting here for hart. Negotiations haven’t even started, and she’s already made
Thank goodness for Ms. Randall She’s truly inspiring
Alice had Daniel drive into the underground garage to avoid the traffic at the main entrance.
Daniel looked visibly imitated
“This whole thing was clearly Mr. Eric’s doing
“Mrs. Ruby just knows how to grab the spotlight. I bet the board is even more impressed with her now.
Alice scoffed.
“So you’re saying she’s been taking credit for years?”
Daniel nodded.
“You’ve got great instincts, Mrs. Nolan
Aber said, “He direct.
Daniel Laughed
“All those international partnerships and technical deals in the past? Mr. Eric arranged everything before he fell into a coma. All she had to do was sign off on them.”
It was Eric who deserved the credit, but Ruby was the one reaping the benefits.
Anyone would feel bitter about that.
But since waking up, Eric had never brought it up.
Alice gave him

“Damn, respect
Eric was speechless
Daniel said, “Mrs. Nolan, that’s not really a compliment
