“No, thanks. My driver will pick me up.”
Taylor smiled.
She could hear that Eric was just asking out of politeness. He did not sincerely want to give her a ride home, so she did not push it.
Eric nodded slightly.
He gave off a cold, stern, and gloomy vibe that made people stay away from him.
However, Taylor clearly saw Eric smiling gently at the woman beside him at the auction last time.
It was not an illusion.
Taylor remembered what her father told her. She was not suitable for business. Now that her father was still around, he could still support her for a while.
However, if he dies in the future, Taylor would not be able to control CK Corporation.
Thus, Taylor needed a confidant. To be precise, she needed a husband who could help her in her career.
Her husband would have to support CK Corporation so that no one would dare to covet it.
Eric was the best choice.
Taylor did not covet his feelings. She did not care how many women Eric had.
She just felt that he was a good catch.
However, her father told her to think carefully.
After all, what happened with the Yeager family was a precedent.
Of course, Taylor was not that stupid.
Taylor and Eric stood together without speaking while waiting for their respective drivers.
In the end, Taylor’s driver arrived first.
Eric was a polite gentleman, so he went over and opened the car door for her.
Taylor thanked him gently and bent down to get into the car.
However, the hem of her dress was too long, and it got stuck in the crack of the door.
Taylor was about to bend down to get it, but Eric lowered his head and pulled it out.
Under the dim light, the man’s side profile was chiseled and handsome as if he was a sculpture. He looked so reserved and restrained.
For some reason, Taylor’s heart skipped a beat. She seemed to have a different feeling about him.
It was as if she saw the way he smiled at Selena that day.
Taylor nodded lightly and thanked him.
Eric did not say anything. He just closed the door and took a step back.
Just then, Eric’s driver arrived, so he turned around and got into his car.
The moon was bright, and the stars were scarce.
On that calm night, something unsettling was brewing.
The photos of Eric with a beautiful woman at the entrance of the hotel and helping her to lift her skirt were exposed.
Even though no one dared to offend Eric, the paparazzi did not want to give up this eye-catching headline.
Thus, the news headlines the next morning were almost all about Eric’s new girlfriend.
Was she also the person who got Eric to carry her purse?
Although the photos taken by a passerby did not fully capture their faces clearly, under the dim street lights, the luxury cars, the beauty, and the exquisite dresses and perfect makeup seemed to create a beautiful image.
Eric still looked aloof and sharp.
Even though he looked cold, he was doing something so down-to-earth. This created a stark contrast that awed the netizens.
The photo was casual yet charming.
A lot of people also speculated about what happened at the hotel. That gossip attracted more attention.
Thus, “Eric’s Girlfriend” went viral online.
Later, it was revealed that this beautiful and mysterious woman was the daughter of a certain company, and she went to the hotel to discuss business.
The explanation was simple, but it aroused everyone’s curiosity and caused some misinterpretation.
Taylor and Eric were well-matched in terms of status and looks.
They were a perfect match!
