Audrey had no idea that Elena had already prepared a "battle" and was waiting for her.

On the way back, Audrey turned on her phone. Before she could send a message, Anna spoke to her first.

Anna: "Sister, I'll keep what happened today a secret."

Audrey: "..."

Anna: I can tell that Director Eric is your boy friend.

Audrey: "..."

Anna: I saw it all. When I went out, Eric's eyes were filled with gentleness when he looked down at you.

Audrey: Have you read too many romance novels recently?

Anna, who was lying on the bed drinking Coke and eating fries, frowned and immediately sent another message: But your conversation makes it seem like the two of you are very close.

Audrey thought for a moment. With Anna's curiosity, it was best not to tell her too much about her family to avoid unnecessary trouble. 

She could only make up an excuse: He's a relative of mine.

'Relatives?' Anna's eyes widened, her brain working quickly as she sent a message. 

'I see. I thought...'

Audrey sent a helpless emoji and reminded her not to say anything.

Anna agreed.

Seeing Audrey's fingertips move, Eric couldn't help but tease her. "You're really busy now. Will you come home less often in the future?"

Audrey looked up at Eric, and soon, the top of her head began to change again.

[It seems that Second Brother comes home less often than I do, right? Are you saying this now because you don't want me to go home?] 

Eric was speechless again. When had he not wanted her to go home?

Wait, he wants Audrey to come home?

Why is it so strange! Eric was a little depressed. He decided to quietly play with his phone and never speak to Audrey again. Otherwise, he would be angered to death by her.

However, not long after, Eric's phone vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was a message from his mother, Amanda.

Eric frowned. After thinking for a while, he opened the chat page.

Amanda: Eric, have you thought about that matter?

Eric didn't reply to her message. He just stared blankly at his phone.

Amanda still refused to give up. After waiting for two minutes, Eric ignored her, so she sent another message.

Amanda: You're Gary's son! You also have a share of the Lance Family's assets! How can you watch helplessly as your assets are handed over to Abner? You have to tell Gary to work in the company tonight, or I'll go straight to your house to mention this to Abner.

Again? Eric was frustrated.

Last time, Caroline's incident had caused chaos at home. Although Abner had ended that boring farce unilaterally, after that incident, Eric could tell that Gary hated it when someone came to the house to disturb their family's peace.

When Amanda made a scene, Gary would inevitably be dissatisfied with him. What if Gary got angry and stopped him from filming in the entertainment industry?

At the thought that his career was going to be ruined, Eric could only comfort Amanda first. "Alright, I understand."

Amanda sent another bunch of words. Eric turned off the phone in frustration.

During dinner, Eric suddenly said, "I want to work at the company."

The quiet atmosphere at the dining table was instantly broken.

Gary frowned.

"Why do you suddenly want to work at the company?" Abner asked.

Gary said, "Don't you like filming? Have you changed your mind now?"

Eric's face was expressionless. "I'm 25 years old now. Isn't it normal for me to work in the company?"

Gary guessed that Amanda had said something to Eric in private again.

Charlotte clenched her fists under the table.

She knew it.

Eric did not do his job every day and went to the entertainment industry to film something. Charlotte was naturally happy to see this scene. After all, she was going to compete with her brother for the position of the Lance Family's heir. It was best to have one less competitor.

But what was going on now? Eric actually wanted to get a share of the company? Hmph, Eric was indeed not easy to deal with.

Charlotte said coldly, "The company's business is busy. If you go in, you'll have to work from the bottom like me. You'll even have to leave early and return late every day. You can't sleep until eight or nine in the morning anymore. Are you sure you want to go?"

What was even more terrifying was that the salary was very ordinary.

Audrey was equally shocked by Eric's decision..
