Nicole only smiled faintly.
"What? Mr. Lichman, if you were so concerned about him, why didn’t you ask him yourself earlier?"
Gerard choked.
He had been waiting for a good show earlier, so of course, he did not get the chance to ask.
Just as the words were spoken, they arrived at the door.
Nicole was very pompous and did not push the door open. Opening the door was someone else’s business.
Gerard pushed the door open for her, and Nicole walked in with her head held high.
Gerard thought, 'She really is a master who was born t o be served. This master can drive a man to his death.'
When Nicole went in and saw the other person inside, the smile on her lips faded slightly.
Long time no see.
With that glance, it was like the marriage with him was something that happened a lifetime ago.
Eric looked at her and nodded with sunken eyes and n o extra emotion.
It was like he saw her as a stranger.
Nicole sighed in relief and chose the farthest seat to sit down.
Gerard saw the tension between the two and thought o f what happened downstairs earlier. He finally realized why Eric told him to go down personally to pick her up.
Eric wanted to see if Nicole would come with Clayton.
He obviously cared a lot in his heart, but he still pretended not to care at all.
'Poor Mr. Ferguson...' Gerard thought.
Gerard had his secretary prepare the equipment for the video conference overseas and went down to pick Nicole up. They were delayed for a few minutes, but it was not a problem.
