Eric’s POV:
I go after her but by the time I reach her, Mario is coming towards us with his men after him.
“Eric? Good I meet you here. We’ve got problems. I need you to discuss them, urgently.” He says to me with a perturbed grimace.
What the fuck?! NOW?! MAN! I’M FUCKING CURSED! NO!
“Mrs. Rodricks?” He bows his head in front of her.
He has never done this so far, except for me, dad and mom. He does it only when the respective person is for personal qualities deserving of such submission and respect from his part.
“Hope you are feeling better, madam. We took quite a scare with you, today.”
“Thank you, Mr. Shipot. I’m fine. Just stress.” She says to him, without bowing her head back to him, and then turns to me.
“Eric? Go and do your duties. I’m fine. I’ll be in the room, resting. Make sure to eat. You haven’t. Alright?”
What? No!
And she kisses my cheek and then caresses it, looking into my eyes with a tired expression.
My sweet Angel…
