Nicole stood in front of the window and looked at the traffic outside, but her heart could not calm down. She did not notice when someone came in behind her.
She forced herself to compromise.
Yes, the most important thing now was not her feelings.
"I know it's you, Eric. My brother already told you about my family’s situation. I hope that you can ask D r. Felix to operate on my father. We can negotiate any terms you want."
Nicole finished speaking and closed her eyes. She used up all her willpower to say those few words.
The man behind her stood there. His gaze froze for a moment, and his face sank slightly when he looked at Nicole's back.
Nicole was unaware that Clayton was standing behind her.
She did not have time to think too much about anything, including Clayton's mood.
The person she cared about most now was Floyd.
Eric paused for a few seconds before speaking in a low and hoarse voice.
"Let’s meet up and spend a day together, just the two o
f us, okay?"
Before she could respond, Eric immediately continued.
"As long as you agree, I'll immediately tell my uncle to return to Mediania to operate on your father. I really don’t want to give up on you. I want a chance. All I want is for you to stay with me for one day. After that, I'll respect your choice whether you want to be with m e or not."
There was tension in his voice. The few seconds he waited for Nicole's answer was extraordinarily torturous.
Eric felt like he was being cooked over a blazing fire. His heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.
He was afraid of her rejection.
"Nicole, we've always been a pair. Why can't we give each other a chance?"
There was a faint plea in his voice.
Nicole looked expressionlessly out the window. Her face was sullen and cold, and her gaze was indifferent.
She was already capable of being completely indifferent to Eric's emotions since she no longer bothered about having empathy for him. He was just too annoying.
After a long time, she replied in a clear and cold voice.
"Fine. See you tomorrow."
Then, she hung up the phone decisively and stared into the distance. She took a deep breath to ease her uncomfortable mood.
At this time, her eyes were icy and emitted a dense chill.
After a long time, she slowly calmed down and turned around. She froze.
