Chapter 21 What Are You Hiding?
In the bathroom, Kate stared blankly at herself in the mirror..
She was still the same lady of her family, the prisoner of Eric, noble and pampered, with unbelievably fair skin, a delicate and stunning face, and a perfect figure that could attract anyone’s attention.
But in her past life, after leaving Eric, the Lowe Group was slowly eroded and swallowed. up. and even she herself ended up suffering, meeting a tragic end with nothing left.
But now, the tragedy has not yet begun, and she still has a chance to make amends.
She will take back everything she lost to Ruth and Simon one by one, the things that belong to the Lowes. That sc*mbag and w*nch will not get an inch of it.
After changing into her pajamas, Kate pushed open the bathroom door and walked out.
Eric was sitting on the sofa, with his laptop placed on the coffee table in front of him. He was staring at the computer screen with an expressionless face, exuding a cold aura.
When he heard the sound of Kate opening the door, he only glanced up slightly before looking away again.
“Honey, you…
Kate walked up
behind Eric and leaned down to hug him. Her warm breath spread over Eric’s ear. Before she could finish her sentence, Eric suddenly raised his hand and turned the laptop to the side.
Kate was stunned for a moment, her gaze unconsciously shifting towards the computer screen. After reading the content clearly, her face instantly turned red!
She abruptly let go of Eric’s hand, took two steps back, covered her face, turned around, and ran to the bed, burying herself under the covers. Her heart was pounding wildly.
Eric…
He was in a video conference!
And she, wearing a cool camisole nightgown, just walked over and hugged Eric, even calling him. honey.
All seen by his subordinates!
A hint of a smile flashed in Eric’s eyes as he glanced at Kate, who had buried herself under the covers. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, “Meeting over, send the report to my email.”
Then, Eric ended the call.
The subordinates of the Davison Group were all dumbfounded. After Eric had left the meeting,

they suddenly realised what they had just seen.
Finished
They actually saw Kate taking the initiative to hug Eric! But they say these two could never get along. No one dared to mention Kate in front of Eric on a regular basis.
But those in Capital City who knew the inside story knew that Eric and Kate were not getting along as a couple. Although Kate was Eric’s wife, her heart had always been with Simon, the head. of a subsidiary of the Lowe Group. Many people secretly mocked Eric because of this, but no one dared to bring this matter to light.
After all… Eric was called a madman for a reason.
Eric calmly undid the top two buttons of his shirt, slightly adjusted the collar, and walked towards the bed, looking down at the lump on the bed. His voice was cold as he said, “What are you hiding from?”
Kate buried her head deeper, muttering, “Eric, I didn’t know you were in a meeting…
She had originally wanted to get closer to Eric, but she didn’t expect to encounter such an awkward situation.
She wished she could find a hole to hide in!
Eric’s face softened slightly, and he didn’t say anything else, turning to walk towards the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of rushing water could be heard from the bathroom. Kate peeked out from under the blanket, breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared in the direction of the bathroom, feeling inexplicably nervous.
In this lifetime, Kate had not yet slept with Eric, and they had rarely even had intimate contact. However, in a previous life, following an argument with Eric, she had gotten drunk and ended up having a relationship with him in a haze.
Reflecting on Eric’s expertise in that aspect made her legs feel weak just at the thought.
