Chapter 46
“Mr. Gomer, this document requires your signature,” Nicole said, placing the file in front of him.
Eric nodded, took a glance at it, and signed his name.
She still felt a bit univasy, unsure of his mood. Trying to break the tension, she brought up the issue with the restrooms, saying, “Eric, I really went to visit a friend at the hospital the other day, I didn’t expect Ms. Beed to be three
“This matter is already in the past,” he replied, pushing the signed document toward her. “You can leave now
Nicolle sensed that his attitude seemed a hit colder, but she wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination.
“Alright,” she said, still uneasy, taking the file and leaving:
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Skye wallding toward her with an elegantly dressed lady who was being treated with great respect.
“Please come this way. Mr. Gomez is inside, you can go in Skye lusocked on the office door and opened it for the lady.
The woman nodded and entered, her heels clicking as she walked. Skye carefully closed the door behind her,
Unable to resist, Nicole asked, “Who was that?!
“You don’t know? That’s Mr. Gomez’s mother,” Slave replied.
“Mr. Gomez’s mother?” Nicole froze in surprise
She had been working with Eric for over half a year and had never seen Lucy Smith–no wonder Nicole hadn’t recognized her.
She knew that Chase Gomez, Fric’s father, was in charge of the branch abroad and that Lucy had accompanied him there. They rarely came back to the
country
“Why are you back?” Eric was surprised to see Lucy. He stood up, asking, “When did your
rehim?”
“I just arrived.” She sat on the couch, took off her sunglasses, and looked at him “That bestand is back. Did you know?
He sat across from her, his tone neutral. “I’ve met him.”
Lury scotted. “Your dad secretly gave him a startup fund. Did he think I wouldn’t know? is he planning to divide the family assets with that bastard?”
Eric quickly figured out what was going on. “You ergued with Dad?
“How could I not?” s
she said angrily. “What does he mean by this? Is he doing it to spite me? Back then, I wouldn’t let him bring that bastard to the Gomez family, and now he secretly supports him! I think he’s deliberately trying to raise him to compete with you!!
He wasn’t too concerned about the issue. “Maybe you’re overthinking it,”
“Overthinking it?” She gave him a cold stare. I think you’re thinking too little! When will you and 1 be on
the same page?
He tried to change the subject. “Thandle these matters myself. You past got back, so you must be tired. Go rest
“Two words in, and you’re already rusting me off You’re just like your father. You two are alike, never wanting to listen to me, huh? So much for sincerity!!!
Lucy’s expression darkened as she stood up
Eric said, “That’s not what I meant.”
“Look after what you have now, and make sure that bastard doesn’t cake even a cent from your Lucy scoffed, putting her sunglasses back on. “Don’t say I didn’t war you.”
With that, she turned and left.
When Nicole saw Lacy come out, she quickly approached. “Hello, Madam Gomez. I’m Mr. Eric Gomez’s secretary. My name is Nicole Hopkins.” Lucy glanced at the overly eager Nicole with an indifferent expression. She had seen plenty of people trying to curry favor with her.
