Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 247 Seducing Eric

After dinner, Eric went to the bathroom while I waited for him in the living room. Not long after, I noticed Elsa sneaking away. A thought struck me, and I decided to follow her. Sure enough, she was headed straight for Eric.

By the time she arrived, Eric had just stepped out of the bathroom, and they ran into each other.

I hid around the corner of the hallway, curious to see how this little drama would unfold.

Elsa let out a soft gasp.

Even though she hadn't actually bumped into Eric, she acted startled, pretending to lose her balance as she fell toward his chest.

Eric didn't even hesitate and simply stepped back.

Elsa barely managed to catch herself against the wall before she could hit the floor. She looked up at him, her voice dripping with sweetness. "Eric, why didn't you catch me just now?"

His expression remained ice-cold. "You're standing just fine, aren't you? Why would I need to catch you? I'd rather not have you falsely accuse me of something."

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Elsa's face, but she quickly forced herself to keep up appearances. She pouted, feigning grievance. "Eric, are you this harsh with Jane too?"
