Eric’s face suddenly turned rigid.
Miles noticed the drastic change in his attitude.
When he stormed in just moments earlier, he had caught sight of Eric still sporting a warm smile, as though he had been video calling with someone.
However, as soon as Miles entered energetically and greeted him, Eric’s face turned icy in an instant.
His eyes were filled with endless hostility, glaring fiercely at Miles. There was even a flash of murderous intent in his gaze.
But a soft, puzzled voice of a girl came from Eric’s phone, sounding delicate and slightly confused. “Hmm? Ric, is Miles also there with you? I thought he went back to Maridonia with Kyle?”
Upon catching the sound of Miles‘ voice, Kate felt a rush of anxiety overwhelm her.
She was aware that Miles had departed Haldoria in the company of Kyle, and it appeared they wouldn’t return anytime soon. Yet here he was, unexpectedly standing beside Eric.
With a chilly stare fixed on Miles, Eric spoke softly, There are pressing matters at hand, hence I called him over.
Kate looked at Eric across her with utmost seriousness
The man on the screen possessed a striking countenance that dominated the entire screen, exuding a blend of coldness and authority. However, all traces of dominance dissipated when he addressed her.
Frowning, Kate felt a sudden unease wash over her “Ric, where exactly are you at this moment?”
Eric appeared somewhat resigned as he responded, “Kate, didn’t I inform you about my sudden business trip to handle some urgent matters? I’ll retum in a few days.”.
Kate pursed her lips and held his gaze for a moment before replying softly. “Alright.”
Following a few more exchanges, Eric fabricated a reason to excuse himself for a meeting and terminated the call.
Immediately after hanging up, his icy gaze fixated on Miles.
Miles was gripped with fear, swiftly seeking refuge behind Kyle, cautiously stealing a glance at Eric through one eye. He stuttered, “Eric, I swear I had no idea you were on a video call with your muse. I wouldn’t have said anything if I had known
Eric regarded Miles with an impassive gaze, chuckling softly. “If you struggle to contain your impulses, perhaps I could assist you with that.”
Miles quickly covered his mouth, mumbling. “I promise, I can change! There’s no need for your

Joke aside, if Eric were to make a move, would I still be alige?
Eric casually averted his gaze, a slight, inexplicable irritation creeping over him.
A nagging suspicion lingered that Kate might have sensed something, yet he refrained from delving deeper.
Later, after concluding the call, Kate sat on the sofa in a daze, her gaze distant, Eric’s image lingering in her thoughts.
After a moment of staring into space, she rose and sought out Betty. “Betty, when Ric went to Jinervia, did he mention how long he’d be gone or when he’d be back?”
Betty, who was cooking, halted her actions at Kate’s inquiry, appearing somewhat perplexed. ‘Madam, didn’t Mr. Davison go to Belford? When did he mention going to Jinervia?”
Kate let out a sigh of relief and smiled gently. “Maybe I remembered incorrectly. Did he mention when he’ll be back?”
After a brief pause to gather her thoughts, Betty replied, “Mr. Davidson mentioned it would be around
wo weeks, but I’m not entirely certain about the details.”
Kate nodded and settled back onto the sofa.
In the kitchen, Betty quietly wiped the sweat from her brow.
Luckily, prior to his departure. Eric had repeatedly instructed them not to disclose to Madam about his journey to Bastilla, emphasising the need for utmost secrecy. As a result, they had meticulously rehearsed the situation well in advance.
Otherwise, Kate’s sudden inquiry could have led to their exposure!
