However, Eric’s natural look soon returned. It was even more natural than usual. In fact, it was overly natural…
“Can’t I ask as a friend? Or are you saying that you’re afraid your boyfriend will be angry? Nothing happened between us anyway. Do you need me to explain it to him?”
Nicole frowned for a long time, unable to understand Eric’s thought process.
According to her understanding of him, he would have gotten angry and dashed out the door, or he would sneer and warn her…
There was something wrong with that remark.
She rubbed her temples. Was the world changing too quickly?
“No need.”
She refused coldly.
Eric looked as if nothing happened. He gritted his teeth and said words that were different from his status, personality, and temper.
“I respect every choice you make, but I want you to be happy. If you choose him, I’ll wish you happiness. You’re a good person. If I become your boyfriend, I’ll never let you suffer. No matter what, I’ll support you.”
Eric said that all in one breath, which made Nicole freeze for several seconds.
Why did those words give her a sense of deja vu?
Just as she was about to open her mouth to tell him to act like a normal person, Eric spoke again.
“Our relationship is unusual, but we’ll be cooperating a lot at work. Your boyfriend wouldn’t mind, right?”
Eric kept saying the word “boyfriend”, which sounded extremely piercing to Nicole’s ears.
However, she did not want to deliberately correct his words.
Otherwise, it would be like she did not want Eric to misunderstand her relationship with Clayton.
Nicole pressed the space between her eyebrows and a light suddenly flashed in her mind.
She thought of someone. Nathaniel Ferguson!
Why was Nathaniel at the celebration banquet so similar to the current Eric?
She could not help but let out a laugh and looked at Eric. “Nathaniel and you really are a family!”
Eric’s face darkened for a moment. He seemed to understand what Nicole was laughing at.
Did she see through it so quickly?
’That’s impossible…’ Eric felt that he performed perfectly.
Even if she saw through it, he had to bite the bullet and leave a way out for himself.
“Don’t compare me to that trust fund baby. Is he worthy?”
Eric’s attitude was open, contemptuous, and unbearably arrogant.
Then, he looked at the door. It was time to go. “I’m going to the office. Should I give you a ride?”
Nicole said, “No thanks.”
Eric left in long strides, reserved and cold. The living room finally quieted down.
Nicole called the driver and had someone bring her bag back from the clubhouse.
Logan had called her quite a few times, and there was a missed call from Kai.
She called Logan, arranged things, canceled the morning meeting, and then sent a reply to Kai’s message.
Then, she washed up and changed her clothes before getting ready to go out.
Before leaving, she also brought along the painkillers on the ground.
Eric changed his clothes and went to Ferguson Corporation.
The matter was not settled yet, so there was no time to relax.
On the surface, everyone knew that Eric was already unbeatable. Once Old Master Ferguson retired, who else would be Eric’s opponent?
However, in private, many people wanted to cause him trouble.
Eric was not someone who would tolerate dirt in his eyes.
Sitting in the cold and empty office, he remembered Nicole and Clayton’s phone call earlier and felt a stabbing pain in his chest.
It turned out that seeing Nicole like someone else brought him such a suffocating and sharp pain.
Mitchell knocked on the door and came in, his expression vaguely excited.
”President, the negotiations are done. Many people have already signed the share transfer contract.”
Eric paused, his brows cold and pensive.
”What about the Old Master?”
Other people’s shares were just a small profit. Even the sum was not enough to make up a fraction of what Old Master Ferguson had.
The most crucial person was the Old Master.
