Chapter 108 Refuse to Get Killed
The office was eerily silent.
Miles stood frozen with his hand raised mid–air. His mouth clamped shut in shock.
In the corner, Eric and Kate had swiftly pulled apart the moment Miles barged in.
Eric’s aura was icy, his face darkening instantly. There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as his cold gaze locked on Miles.
Though his demeanour was frigid, his suit was noticeably wrinkled, and his lips were slightly red. Meanwhile, his collar buttons were undone.
Kate’s face was flushed. Her breathing was uneven, her lips swollen, and her eyes filled with panic as she quickly turned her back, her heart pounding.
Who could have predicted that Miles would suddenly burst into the office?
Kate’s office had a strict rule where everyone must knock and announce themselves before entering. But Miles, in his excitement, forgot all protocol and barged right in.
He certainly hadn’t expected to find Eric there, let alone catch them in such a moment.
Recalling what he had just seen, Miles wished he could gouge his eyes out to prove he saw nothing! It
wasn’t intentional!
Eric’s icy gaze bore into Miles, causing a whirlwind of emotions to flash through his mind.
Miles even briefly considered his preferred burial site.
“Miles, do you have something to say?”
Kate calmed herself, and then she turned to face Miles nonchalantly.
Miles snapped back to reality and laughed awkwardly. He said, “Eric, I didn’t expect you to be here. I…
“Haha!”
Eric’s cold laugh interrupted, making his eyes even colder. He said, “Even if I weren’t here, you think. it’s acceptable to barge into Kate’s office?”
His voice was icy and laced with clear displeasure.
Miles immediately straightened up. He bowed his head and frantically apologised, “I’m sorry, fault! I won’t burst in unannounced again! I was just really excited about a brilliant idea and wanted to share it with my muse. If I had known you were here. I wouldn’t have dared to come in, no matter what”

After all, who would have thought that the typically elusive Eric would be in this building and Kate’s office, no less?
And then there was what he had walked in on…
Kate cleared her throat and said awkwardly. “What’s this idea?”
She wanted to change the topic as quickly as possible. Just thinking about the scene from earlier made her face feel hot.
If she didn’t steer the conversation away, the awkwardness would only continue.
Upon hearing Kate’s words, Miles immediately held up the design draft and said, “This is the one!”
The two of them then sat at opposite ends of the desk and dived into a discussion about the design.
Eric’s eyes darkened. There was a hint of resentment in his gaze, directed at Kate. He quietly withdrew and took a seat in the corner.
His eyes never left her.
Their discussion with Miles stretched into the afternoon.
When they finally concluded, Kate looked up and met Eric’s deep gaze.
He quickly stood and stumbled back a few steps. Miles chuckled dryly and said, “Well, the plan’s discussed. I’ll be going now!”
Miles almost fled the office like a gust of wind.
Eric’s stare had made him feel like he was moments away from being cut down into pieces.
ever
Eric could take him out so easily, and he wasn’t ready to die yet.
