Chapter 109 Whatever You Decide
The office was once again occupied by just Eric and Kate.
After Miles left, the cold aura around Eric melted away. He looked at Kate intensely, his eyes filled with a gentle light.
It was only then that Kate realised she had been so engrossed in her discussion with Miles that she had neglected Eric entirely.
“Ric, I got too caught up just now and ended up ignoring you.”
Kate walked over to Eric. She grabbed his hand and apologised softly.
Eric’s expression remained indifferent, and he said. “It’s okay”
In the past, Kate never even noticed his existence, but now that she was paying attention to him, Eric was already content.
“Grumble-”
Kate’s stomach growled…
Eric’s gaze instantly shifted to Kate’s stomach. He asked calmly, Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?”
Kate rubbed her stomach a bit awkwardly, then she looked at Eric and asked softly. “What would your like to eat, Ric?
Eric hadn’t expected Kate to ask him this. He was slightly taken aback. After a brief pause, he replied, “Anything is fine.”
Kate had anticipated this response. She smiled helplessly and took out her phone to seriously search. for a place. After a while, she said, “Ric, there’s a new Instagram–worthy restaurant that just opened. How about we check it out? Let’s see if you like their menu.”
She showed Eric her phone.
The screen displays information about Lullaby Cafe, a music restaurant in Capital City. Couples often visited this popular spot, known for its great ambience, making it a new dating hotspot
Eric’s expression remained unchanged, and he said, “Whatever you decide.”
Kate’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she glanced at Eric’s earlobes.
When she mentioned going to a music restaurant, Eric’s carlobes quietly turned red, though he seemed entirely unaware of it, maintaining his usual cold and restrained demeanour.
Kate suddenly realised that she didn’t know Eric very well.

The more she understood about Eric, the more she felt a strange sense of disconnection.
With a smile on her lips, she took Eric’s arm and headed out.
They took the elevator down to the first floor. When the doors opened, Kate saw two people waiting outside, seemingly in a secretive conversation.
Ruth and Simon were there.
They were standing very close together, whispering something to each other. Simon’s hand rested on
Ruth’s waist.
When the elevator doors opened, Simon quickly withdrew his hand. There was a flash of panic in his eyes, though he outwardly maintained a calm demeanour.
Then he saw Eric, who exuded coldness. Kate stood beside him. She was holding Eric’s arm with a bright smile on her face.
Ruth and Simon instantly tensed up.
Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads as they stammered greetings to Eric.
“Mr. Davison.”
“Mrs. Davison.”
Ruth and Simon looked visibly nervous.
Simon felt a twinge of regret. How could he have succumbed to Ruth’s seduction and placed his hand. on her waist? He wondered if Kate had seen it. If she had, how would he explain and appease her?
Simon’s mind was in turmoil.
Ruth was also uneasy.
It was only after she arrived here that she found out Kate was the project lead at Davison Group!
What gives Kate the right to rise to such a position?
Every time she saw Kate, Ruth felt pain all over her body, especially in her arms and hands.
She would never forget the sensation of sunburn.
