lice took a breath and pulled herself together. She lifted her hand and greeted Eric.

ric’s heart skipped a beat.

ust moments ago, standing in the shadows, he had felt as if he were back on the battlefield.

lice’s silhouette looked too much like her.

ven though he had always suspected it, he never dared to be sure.

o, he decided to look into it.

lice smiled.

Mr. Eric, are you here to pick me up?”

ric’s wandering thoughts snapped back.

ould it be true?

le felt that it probably was.

fit really was, then this was a second chance sent by fate.

lo matter what, he could not hide anymore. He had to try–properly this time.

Yes.”

His voice was calm, almost light.

But inside, he was restless.

He needed an answer for himself.

No matter what, he needed a result.

The word left his lips like a spark of electricity.

It made the air tingle.

For no clear reason, Alice’s heart trembled.

She felt her cheeks grow warm.

A little embarrassed.

Even her breathing turned tight.

“That’s very thoughtful of you,” she said.

She looked up at the sky.

The moon was getting hazy.

Not very pretty.

Ahem!

Why is my mind so messy?

Forget it.

I was probably still upset from what my mother had done earlier.

Oh right, she invited me to have dinner tonight.

I’m too tired. I don’t feel like going.

“What are you thinking about?” Eric asked.

Her thoughts were interrupted again.

“I was planning to stop by the Spencer Residence,” Alice said, “but now that I think about it, I won’t go. I don’t want to ruin a good

mood.”

The truth was, her mood hadn’t been good at all.

But somehow, right now, she felt at ease.

If she went to the Spencer Residence, that small bit of calm would disappear.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Eric’s lips.

“Alright, we won’t go then.”

Alice froze for a second.

Why did Eric seem gentler today?

Maybe I’m just imagining it.

Daniel, who was following behind them, was dying of frustration.

She’s in a good mood today!

Ask her already!

Daniel was close to screaming inside.

Still, he couldn’t help worrying for his boss.

Why is Mr. Eric so slow?

He started thinking of ways to ease Eric’s troubles.

Chapter 408 A Second Chance

The truth was, his boss had a knot in his heart.

It was about the woman who had once saved his life.

That mysterious girl who rules like a queen in the distant land.

She appeared out of nowhere when Eric found himself trapped and facing death.

She led them out of danger.

Daniel had been too far away back then. He didn’t know what she had said to Eric.

He didn’t know what Eric had promised her either.

All he knew was that his boss had been happy.

They had been busy running for their lives, with no time to care whether Eric had fallen in love.

Even so, when they passed an old cathedral, Eric still went inside and prayed. He even asked for a rosary bracelet.

Sigh!

Daniel knew this was Eric’s regret.

Because after that day, the woman vanished.

Eric had always felt guilty.

Now that things between Eric and Alice were finally turning around, this knot kept him from moving forward.

Daniel figured Eric needed closure.

Only after letting go of the past could he openly pursue Alice.

Otherwise, holding on to another woman in his heart would be unfair to Alice.

Daniel worried even more.

He was exhausted.

Being a special assistant was truly inhuman.
