Chapter 52 My Muse Goddess
After embracing Eric for a moment, Kate finally released him and smiled gently. “How did the negotiations go?”
Eric appeared slightly taken aback, but responded with a soft “Hmm.”
Kate smiled again. “I knew you were the best, Eric. You have a knack for sealing any deal.”
It was the first time Eric had been praised and complimented in this manner by Kate. There was a glimmer of joy in his heart, but he pushed it down.
His intense gaze bore into Kate, as if attempting to decipher her completely. The scrutiny and intensity in his eyes were unmistakable, yet Kate seemed oblivious, continuing to recount the
recent events.
Every detail was shared in a gentle
Tone.
Although Eric had already been informed about the incident by Lucas, hearing it directly from Kate made a difference.
His eyes grew even more profound.
Kate had indeed changed, but he couldn’t determine if this transformation was a result of her using new tactics to distance herself from him or if it stemmed from genuine emotions.
He couldn’t distinguish between the two.
She had performed numerous actions that contradicted her words.
Kate continued to speak, narrating the entire story, and despite Eric’s stoic expression, shet remained undaunted.
She understood the layers of defence Eric’s heart had, but regardless of them, she was determined to gradually break them down. She believed that one day he would place his complete trust in her. His aloofness and lack of response were a result of her own actions.

As Eric and Kate entered the meeting room, Hendrick was engaged in a pleasant conversation. with Miles, and the atmosphere between them was harmonious.
Upon spotting Eric, Miles immediately greeted him warmly, extending his arms towards him. “Eric, it’s great to see you again.”
Eric furrowed his brow and cast a stern glance at him. Miles halted in embarrassment, sighed softly, and retracted his arms. “Eric, you’re still as unyielding as ever…
“Hmm?”
Miles continued speaking, but suddenly shifted his focus to Kate beside Eric, particularly noticing her holding onto Eric’s arm, their closeness evident.
Miles‘ eyes widened, a smile lighting up his face as he looked at Kate, showering her with compliments. “Oh! Are you Eric’s wife? I believe I’ve found my muse! Perfect….
There was a hint of admiration in Miles‘ eyes, and he even instinctively reached out to touch Kate’s face.
Eric’s demeanour turned icy, swiftly intercepting Miles and firmly grasping the hand he had extended.
“Ouch, that hurts! Eric, let me go!
Miles winced in pain, realising his actions had been inappropriate, yet murmured, “Eric, you know what I do. When I see such a delicate and beautiful face, I can’t help but indulge in my professional habits.”
