Unexpected Encounter with my Boss (Vincent and Tiffany) novel Chapter 195

Tiffany paused.

Eric went on, "The reason I didn't call her is because of her pregnancy. She can't be stressed. I'm out of options here. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you."

Though Eric spoke no truth, his words rang sincere.

Considering Teresa, Tiffany asked, "Where are you?"

"At the Eastville Station. And remember, bring me something to eat," he said hastily before hanging up.

Suspicious but swayed by thoughts of Teresa, Tiffany bought some bread from a nearby bakery. Then she took a taxi to Eastville Station.

Eric's clothes were tattered clothes, his face unshaven and unkempt. Had he not called out, she wouldn't have recognized him.

As soon as he saw her, Eric asked, "Where's the food?"

Tiffany had just taken out the bread when he snatched them away. Frantically ripping open the packaging, he shoved them into his mouth.

His actions resembled those of a barbarian.

Tiffany frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Between bites, Eric's eyes darted around nervously. "They're after me!"

"Who?"

"The men from the illegal gambling ring."

"Illegal gambling ring?" Alarm bells rang in Tiffany's head. "Did you gamble?"

"Shh!" Eric looked around in panic before lowering his voice. "Tiff, do you have any money? Lend me some. I need to lay low out of town."

Instead of answering, Tiffany asked, "How much did you lose?"

"Two million."

Tiffany gasped. "Two million?"

"I don't," Tiffany replied flatly. "You got yourself into this mess, so you figure it out."

She turned to leave a second later.

Suddenly, several men rushed over from the side. They ran past Tiffany like lightning.

"Eric, don't run!"

Chaos erupted in the station as the men, coming from everywhere, trapped Eric.

Outnumbered and surrounded, Eric didn't make it far. A burly man violently tackled him to the ground.

He was swiftly apprehended and hauled out of the station.

Tiffany watched the whole scene unfold, her heart pounding. But her concern wasn't for Eric; it was for Teresa.

If something happened to Eric, what would become of Teresa?
