You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 365

“Can somebody use their brains for a new proposal? Why do I’m giving you such a salary if no one can preach me new ideas?!” Eric roared angrily.

“Okay, everyone. Let’s adjourn this meeting. Let’s meet again next Thursday.” Inside a conference room, Rosy took over quickly. “See you,” Rosy added giving all the participants to exit the room.

When everyone had already gone, Rosy looked at Eric who was still pissed.

His expression was displeased of so much and he seemed to lose all his temper during these days.

Knowing Eric her entire life, he was not like that.

Eric always practiced the balance of work and personal life thoroughly.

He knew how to manage everything calmly and everything was always under his control.

It was so unlikely for him to change from his usual self.

Rosy never saw Eric lose his temper in front of their colleagues.

“Eric, tell me. I know something is bothering you right now. Talk to me now and get a grip on yourself. Will you?” They were best friends since the first day they met so Rosy knew everything about Eric.

Eric looked at Rosy with a stern look.

Rosy could see that his expression was angry and problematic.

Eric’s eyes were deep like he didn’t have enough sleep with black circles around his eyes.

Rosy waited for him to share as she smirked but Eric was still muted.

He seemed to have no plan sharing what was his troubles lately.

She could see Eric was so troubled by something but he was aloof with her and that she didn't understand.

“Eric… what’s wrong?” Rosy asked again with a questioning look but already looking impatient.

She was just not used to Eric being so secretive.

“Nothing… nothing Rosy.” Eric sounded strict.

He averted his gaze from her to his desktop.

“Come on, Eric! You can’t just go on like this every day. People around you are also affected by your mood. Cheer up, man! We can drink outside if you don’t want to talk about it here. I can’t… and I don’t want you seeing like this every day.” Rosy was always that pushy and Eric knew that.

“Rosy, don’t bother yourself with my troubles. I’m just too preoccupied lately. Okay?” Eric replied.

How could he possibly share his troubles with Rosy when the cause of his troubles was none other than the person who ruined her family?

In just an instant, Rosy’s perfect loving family shattered into pieces because of the girl named Hanna.

Her mother committed suicide when she knew about her husband’s affair with Hanna and now her father was still wasted getting all the blame for what he had done.

Eric even assigned a private physician for his uncle Byer just to look for him all the time as it seemed his conscience was eating him up and he was always lost and mute all the time.

At first, they thought his uncle Byer was just mourning his loss but as time goes by, he started to imprison himself in his room, he refused to eat and he said nothing to everyone even if they tried to talk to him.

Eric tried to talk to him but he refused.

He listened but he didn’t say a single word.

His uncle Byer shut his world outside and they could not force him to go out and take some fresh air.

They were hopeless as he didn’t want to help himself plus Rosy was not in a good term for him.

Rosy put all the blames on her father and his mistress.

It was too impossible for her to forget the reason for the death of her mother and too impossible for her to forgive her father and his mistress.

“I don’t believe you, Eric. I know you and I know you are hiding something from me.” Rosy sounded provokingly.

She had no sign of stopping. “And you know me, Eric, the more you hide it from me, the more I will dig. Yeah?” She smiled at Eric giving him a chance to talk with a hint of a challenge.

“Come on, Rosy! I’m okay… I’m just in a bad mood today.” Eric sounded cool now to appease Rosy but she frowned more. “Okay… I’m just in a bad mood today, yesterday, and the other day.” He corrected himself.

Rosy nodded with a smile. “You know I treated you as my brother. You are my only family now. So, whoever messed up with you, messed me up too!” Rosy felt relieved seeing Eric back to his usual cool self.

She was always very thankful to him for always being there for her.

Even before, Eric was always helping her family and her mom and dad loved and treated him as part of their family.

The same goes for Eric, he treated Rosy’s parents as his own.

Without them, he won’t be able to achieve as the CEO of his own company.

Eric was always grateful to Rosy’s family.

“Care for lunch later?” Rosy stood up as she was about to exit the conference room.

For now, she would leave him in peace for a while but surely, she would dig the things that troubled him.

She was good at it.

“Hmmm… okay. See yeah!” Eric quickly replied.

When Rosy went out that was the time Eric heaved a very heavy sigh.

His cool was quickly gone.

His eyes were deep and sharp.

One could easily say that he was very angry with something.

Then in the next second, his phone on his table rang.

It kept on ringing every day and the name of the caller appeared on his mobile’s screen.

Hanna

Eric just looked at his phone on his table.

He let it ring and vibrate on the surface.

He just stared at it with his deep sharp eyes.

Until now, Eric was still full of hatred for Hanna as she dared to deceive him.

Also, he still couldn’t forgive himself for being deceived by her.

He was deceived by the mistress of his uncle Byer.

A dancer in a club.

A hustler and a stripper.

Eric showed every good to her and he could not believe that he became one of her victims.

It angered him so much just the thought about Hanna.

He knew Hanna was calling him non-stopped because she wanted to explain.

Maybe she wanted to pacify him and clear her name but Eric had enough of her lies.

How could he believe her again?

How could he make sure that all words coming from her mouth were all true?

How could he make sure that Hanna was true to him?

How could he make sure that Hanna was not doing all the explaining with the other men she was with?

At this point, Eric felt by answering her call or talking to her, he was going to fall into her trap again.

This girl could not be trusted.

Starting by using different kinds of names and identities.

She was an expert hooker and she used her beauty to get money from rich men.

With his thoughts, Eric felt disgusted with her.

Just imagining how old his uncle Byer was and Hanna was sleeping with him for money.

Eric felt more enraged as he strongly clenched his fists then he wiped everything on his table with his arm including his phone.

It fell to the ground and the ringing stopped.

He stood up and went out of the room with the loud bang of the door.

Eric went directly to get his car.

When he got in, he drove furiously.
