Chapter 90 As Long As You’re happy
Eric was well aware of the situation.
After all, George had reported every detail to him. This project was a collaboration among three companies, so it was impossible to keep anything from Eric.
When he first heard the news, anger nearly consumed him. At the last moment, he managed to hold it back..
He wanted to hear the explanation from Kate.
Eric didn’t know why he instinctively felt that Kate would explain everything to him.
And now, it was time for Kate to speak.
She knew Eric’s temper. She normally wouldn’t say something that would upset him, but she had no choice.
Given Eric’s usual state, if she had the nerve to bring this up, he would find a way to make her stop or even force her to withdraw from the project.
Instead of waiting for Eric to confront her, Kate decided to cheer him up and then explain. everything herself.
“Eric, I promise I didn’t join this project because of Simon. I truly love design, and Miles is a very talented designer. I want to do something for you.
“I’ve stayed at home for three years. I feel like I’m rusting and disconnected from society. I don’t want to constantly depend on you, only for others to label me as your ‘kept woman.
“I want to proudly stand by your side and prove to everyone that I’m worthy of you. I’m not just a lovely face or an incapable socialite.”
Kate’s voice was soft yet firm.
She paused for a moment, then continued, “As for Simon and Ruth, their motives aren’t pure. They’ve tried to come between us multiple times. So I thought…”
Kate laid out her plan.
When it came to Eric, she would show her sincerity, letting him see her true intentions.
The coldness in Eric’s eyes began to melt.
He nodded slightly and said, “Alright.”
Feeling his response was too curt, he added, “As long as you’re happy.”

Finally, she felt a sense of relief from her worries.
She was about to say more when Eric said, “I’ll announce to everyone at the office that you’re the leader of this project.”
Kate was stunned. She couldn’t help but protest, “But I ….
She was about to admit that she wasn’t qualified, that she hadn’t touched a brush in three years, and that she might not be able to handle the responsibility. Eric’s firm voice cut her off, and he declared, “I never change my decision.
“If anyone has a question about you, they can come to me.”
Eric’s eyes were cold and indifferent, and a chill spread. He stood up and looked down at Kate, his voice carrying a hint of challenge. “Would you like to come to the office with me?”
“Sure.”
Kate stood up gracefully and took Eric’s arm. She chuckled and said, “Come to think of it, I’ve never been to your office.”
In her past life, she never visited Davison Group’s headquarters either.
Eric had always kept Kate at Summer Estate, not allowing her to step outside. Kate was always thinking about escaping the place, as was Eric. Simon and Ruth kidnapped and tortured Kate once she managed to escape.
Now, with Eric taking the initiative to bring her to his company, Kate felt a touch of excitement.
Could this mean their relationship was getting better?
Eric looked at Kate’s joyful and excited face, his heart softening again.
His woman seemed so easy to please and satisfied with.
