Ines did not give up and wanted to continue saying something.
However, Nicole's phone rang at that moment.
Her ringtone cut through their laughable atmosphere.
Having no choice, Nicole answered it and walked out.
It was Kai.
"I heard that a fugitive is on the loose nearby, so just stay where you are. I’ll get someone to pick you up."
Nicole smiled and said, "It's fine, I can go by myself."
She ignored the two people and walked past them.
"Nicole..." Eric called her name.
Before Nicole could react, Eric chased after her. "I'll send you home.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows and laughed lightly.
She felt amazed by his boldness. 'When are we ever on good terms with each other? He must be on drugs... I don't need his help!’
"Don't get me wrong. I heard that a fugitive is lurking around here, so it's not safe. If something happens to you, I'll probably get scolded by the netizens again."
'That ferocious fugitive even robbed and raped a lot of ladies before...'
Eric's tone was dull. His shadow under the dim streetlight was elongated and made him seem very lonely.
When he spoke, he looked a little nervous, so much so that Nicole thought she was mistaken.
'Why will he be nervous about my safety? Hah! If that ever happens, the sun will probably rise from the west!’
Nicole then saw Ines, who looked so aggrieved, chasing up to Eric.
She hooked her lips and said in a cool voice, "No need. I'd rather meet a fugitive than spend another second with you."
After that, Nicole left without another word.
"Why is Nicole acting so smug?! That ungrateful b* tch!" Ines was infuriated.
'Was she trying to humiliate me by rejecting Eric's offer in front of me?! That b*tch must've done it on purpose!’ Ines thought.
Eric's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Mitchell drove over, so Eric got into the car and said in a cold voice," Drive."
He ignored Ines’ screams from the back.
Mitchell quickly drove away.
There were several broken streetlights on this section of the road. Eric felt nervous and uneasy because of a bad feeling in his heart.
In front where it was dark, there was a car parked without anyone inside.
