Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 202 Go with the Flow

I stared at Eric in shock, completely unprepared for him to show up at my office.

Forcing down my panic, I tried to keep my voice calm. "You left work early today?"

I hadn't even gotten a chance to hide...

Eric's expression was serious. "If I didn't, I wouldn't have caught you. How long are you planning to keep avoiding me?"

My heart skipped a beat. I quickly denied it, saying, "I'm not avoiding you, I've just been really busy."

At my words, a trace of hurt flickered across his face, and his tone softened. "You promised to take care of me... My shoulder has healed now, but you still don't have time for me."

Seeing him like this, a wave of guilt washed over me. The urge to avoid him vanished in an instant.

"I..." I opened my mouth, but no words came out. A mess of emotions swirled inside me. "I'm sorry..."

Eric stepped closer, his eyes locking on mine. "Sorry for what?"
