Chapter 193 Did I Upset My Little Sister?
Kate couldn’t hide her grin as Eric polished off the chicken soup, surprising him with a quick peck on the cheek. Her eyes sparkled playfully. “Eric, you’re such a sweetheart.”
Getting called a ‘sweetheart‘ was a new experience for Eric, catching him off guard. He paused for a beat, his cheeks flushing as he gathered his composure.
Coughing lightly, he caught Kate’s attention. “Kate?”
“Yeah?”
She looked up from tending to the thermos, their eyes meeting. In a gentle tone, he asked, “After clinching the international design contest, what’s next for you?”
“I’ve got a few thoughts.”
Kate hastily finished her task and moved a chair closer to Eric’s hospital bed. She shared her vision with conviction. “Eric, I’m thinking of launching my own design firm and brand. I’ve had a couple of design ideas for some time now that I believe would make a perfect debut collection.”
Nodding in support, Eric said, ‘Davison Group will back you up completely.”
A bright smile lit up Kate’s face. “That’s exactly what Hendrick said.”
“And what did Hendrick say?” Eric inquired.
Just then, Hendrick entered, curiosity marking his face as he looked at Kate and Eric.
With a smile, Kate announced, “We were just talking about me starting my own business and brand. Eric said Davison Group would support me all the way.”
Hendrick gave a supportive nod. “And naturally, Lowe Group will offer its full support, too.”
“Muse, you can count me in as well! KM is fully behind you,” Miles announced as he leaned in from the doorway, offering a friendly wave.
Kate let out a small laugh but quickly adopted a more serious demeanour. “I really appreciate your support. However, I’m determined to build this brand on my own.”
“I’ve been saving up for years, enough to jumpstart a new project. And even if things don’t go as planned, I know I have you all by my side.”
Watching his sister, Hendrick couldn’t hide his bemusement. “You’re just as headstrong as your brother, right?”
Once Kate set her mind to something, there was no changing it.
Kate playfully stuck out her tongue at Hendrick and confidently declared, “I’ve picked up a lot

From the bed. Eric couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Looking over at Hendrick, he encouraged. “Have some faith in Kate, Hendrick. She practically idolises me.”
He turned to Kate, a bemused expression on his face. “She’s been binge–watching my old meeting videos for the past few days, at least five times.”
Taken aback by her dedication, Hendrick looked at Kate with newfound respect.
Standing tall and proud, Kate put her hands on her hips and challenged Hendrick, “Don’t forget. Mom and Dad always said I had a sharpe
business sense than you!”
Hendrick smiled. “Alright, alright, Kate wins.”
Just as Hendrick’s tone took on a teasing air, Kate’s mood shifted unexpectedly, tears pooling in her eyes.
The sudden tears caught the three men off guard. One lonely tear escaped down her cheek.
“Why the tears, Kate?” Hendrick asked, genuinely confused about how to comfort her.
Eric gave Hendrick a frosty look before tenderly wiping away Kate’s tears. “No crying, okay, Kate?”
Miles, with a sudden show of protectiveness, rolled up his sleeves. “Who’s making my muse upset? I’m on it!”
His pointed stare at Hendrick said everything.
Hendrick was at a loss for words.
He didn’t think he’d done anything to upset Kate. Why were these guys implying otherwise?
He was her brother. Hendrick, for crying out loud! He hadn’t even gotten a chance to make amends before she started crying.
When he spoke, Kate’s eyes welled up with even more tears.
Frustrated and worried, Hendrick ran his fingers through his hair, wondering how he could. console his sister after inadvertently making her cry.
