Chapter 1156: An Email

Eric kept in touch with Xu Cheng for a very simple reason; he wanted to know more about Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya.

However, after spending quite some time with Xu Cheng, he realized that the woman knew virtually nothing about what was happening in the Ruan Family, and she knew very little about Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya.

Xu Cheng had originally lived in City S, where she had no contact with the Ruan Family. She had only come to this city and settled down recently.

Since he couldn’t get anything information about Ruan Zeyan out of this woman, Eric decided to stop wasting time on her. Xu Cheng wasn’t a very beautiful woman. If she had the looks of Ling Tianya, he might have been willing to spend some more time with her.

Just like that, after a short period when Xu Cheng thought things were going well, she completely lost contact with Eric. She tried to contact him, but he never picked up the phone again.

In a presidential suite of a platinum-rank five-star hotel, Lina was picking a matching handbag that would compliment the day’s look.

Eric sat at a desk not far from her, helping Lina reply to emails from the company’s headquarters.

Eric’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, then canceled the call immediately with a stony face.

Lina turned around and looked at him. “Is that Xu Cheng still calling you?”

“Yes,” Eric answered. He was repulsed by this persistent Xu Cheng.

Lina chuckled. “You’ve hurt the poor girl’s heart.”

“I did not,” Eric said with a serious face. “I didn’t cross any lines with her. All we did was share a few meals and talk.”

Lina was silent. She seemed to be having some trouble deciding between two handbags. “Eric, of these two purses, which one matches my outfit better?”

Eric took a good look at the two handbags and chose the cla.s.sic black one. “Chairman, are you heading somewhere?”

“Yes.” Lina held the black handbag in her hand and looked into the mirror. “This one then.”

“Where are you going? Do you need me to be there as well?” Eric was somewhat nervous. In order to track Lina’s progress in the search for her daughter, he needed to know her whereabouts at all times.

“No. Stay here and reply to those emails. Handle company business first.” Lina took out a tube of lipstick and began applying it. “I asked Ruan Zeyan’s wife to go shopping today. A man like you won’t fit into our girls’ talk.”

Lina put the lipstick back into the handbag and pulled out a small bottle of perfume. “Since you can’t get any useful information out of that Xu Cheng, I’ll have to do this myself.”

“Are you sure you don’t need me there?” Eric asked impatiently. “You aren’t familiar with how things work in this country. Maybe I should come with you.”

Lina tilted her head and looked at Eric curiously, “What’s gotten into you? You’re acting weird.”

“Nothing. I’m just worried about you having to handle Ling Tianya on your own.”

At that, Lina’s face hardened. “Eric.”

Looking at Lina’s expression, Eric realized he had made a grave mistake. Lina was the chairman of LAYNA. She had encountered all sorts of people and all kinds of compet.i.tors. It wasn’t his place, as a humble a.s.sistant, to worry about her.

“I’m sorry, Chairman!” Eric stood up immediately and apologized. Then he said, “Don’t worry about the company correspondence. I’ll take good care of it.”

Lina looked at him with those ice-cold eyes. After quite a while, she finally opened her mouth. “Good.”

Then Lina left the hotel room.

Eric watched Lina walk out, then collapsed to the couch.

At that moment, a new email came for Lina. The sender wasn’t a company staff member, but the private detective Lina had hired to find her daughter.

Eric’s heart raced. He opened the email, holding his breath.
