Chapter 225 A True Return Gift

Exhausted, I returned to my office.

As soon as I entered, I was taken aback to see Eric sitting in my seat. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. After confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, I put on a smile and walked toward him.

"You're back already? You said on the phone yesterday that you wouldn't be back until the weekend."

Although the issues abroad weren't serious, they were complicated, and Eric hadn't returned in over half a month.

Eric explained with a smile, "I finished the work earlier than expected, so I decided to come back sooner."
