"I guess they wanted to swallow the entire bitter pill in one go rather than go through the torture piecemeal," Eric replied with a shake of his head.
"Really? I didn't know that the situation was that bad," came Hui's dry voiced reaction from behind them.
Both Jia Li and Eric jumped up guiltily. Eric gave him a sheepish look but didn't try and defend his words.
"Anyways, I am going to see you tomorrow directly at the press conference. Since its their idea, let them hog the limelight. I will be present only to show my face as their partner. Please ensure that you communicate this to the clients in a sugar coated manner, since mine may taste bitter!" he quipped and left.
Jia Li realised the breath which she had been holding. That had been a close call. Thankfully Mr. Ying had only heard Eric's words and not hers. He already disliked her for no reason. Had he heard her remarks, he would have got a valid excuse and maybe chucked her out on spot.
