Chapter 1252 Finding A Wife
“No need. Thank you.”
Cecilia declined the support offered by Eric.
Charlotte looked this way, unable to hold back her surprise. “Mr. Palmer, there are already rumors online about you having a relationship with my boss. Don’t put my boss in a tough spot, will you?”
As she spoke, she simultaneously prepared a soft pillow for Cecilia.
With a smile, Cecilia strolled over and took a seat. “Stop making fun of Eriç. We all know that those rumors were spread by people with ill intentions.”
“Absolutely,” Charlotte replied immediately.
A certain unease brewed within Eric’s heart after he heard Cecilia’s words.
It turned out that, from Cecilia’s perspective, there really wasn’t much of a connection between the two of them.
“Eric, you should also sit down and order something,” Cecilia suggested, oblivious to his peculiar -demeanor.
“All right.”
The trio went on to order some dishes.
Before the food had even arrived, Charlotte couldn’t help but ask Eric, “Eric, do you have a girlfriend? Do you have a secret relationship? Are you in a secret marriage?”
Eric was taken aback. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
“Is it just a question, or is it inconvenient for you to answer?” Charlotte asked, puzzled.
After hearing that, Eric turned to look at Cecilia. “Why would there be any inconvenience? You know my situation, don’t you, Ms. Cecille? I’ve been in Alendor shooting commercials recently. I don’t have the time for a secret relationship, let alone a marriage.”
Charlotte’s spirits clearly fell after she heard that response. “I see.”
“What’s the matter?” Eric was confused.
“Well, haven’t the online news been spreading rumors about you and our boss?” Charlotte didn’t bother with formalities with Eric. “If you have a lover or a wife, maybe you could make it public. That way, people wouldn’t misunderstand.”
It was important to note that Eric’s rise to fame was largely thanks to Cecilia.
From Charlotte’s perspective, it was only right for Eric to lend a hand to Cecilia, who was in need of help at the time.
At first, Eric thought it was Cecilia who had Charlotte inquire about her love life. He never expected this situation.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on what he was feeling, but he said, “Or should I, perhaps, fabricate one?”
Upon hearing that, Cecilia immediately said, “Don’t. If you don’t have a lover, don’t bother doing that. We’ll think of another way.”
Originally, there wasn’t much of a connection between them, so Cecilia didn’t feel there was anything to fear. After all, a clear conscience feared no accusation.
Charlotte also said, “Boss is right. If you fabricate one and someone finds dirt on you, you’ll only end making things worse by explaining.”
That day, Eric initially wanted to discuss recent events with Cecilia, but unexpectedly, they ended up talking about how to handle online public opinion.
He understood that there wasn’t much affection for him in Cecilia’s heart.

After finishing the meal, he watched as Cecilia and Charlotte left. He then turned around and got into his
own car.
As the driver drove him home, he couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Eric, were you on a date with a girl today?”
The driver was a long–time member of the family, much like a relative.
After some thought, Eric replied, “Yes. You could say that.”
The driver’s eyes lit up. “You better hurry and tell Mr. and Mrs. Palmer. They’ve been eagerly waiting for you to find a girlfriend for quite some time now.”
Just like any other parents, Eric’s parents were always nudging him to get married. They hoped their son would soon find a wife and bless them with a few chubby grandchildren.
“We’ll see how it goes,” murmured Eric.
When Cecilia arrived home, Elliot immediately called her over and said, “Mommy, why are you only here now? Hurry! Join me for the livestream.”
“Huh? Why do you suddenly want me to join your livestream?” Cecilia was somewhat confused.
All along, Elliot, Jonathan, and Vivian had been the ones managing the account. Cecilia had always shown respect for their personal interests.
“Mommy, could you come here, please?” Elliot pleaded.
Feeling helpless, Cecilia had no choice but to approach Elliot.
However, the camera only managed to capture the lower half of her body, leaving the audience on the other side of the live broadcast
