Chance’s voice was soft and aggrieved.
Nicole’s heart trembled and softened.
Eric looked at Chance with satisfaction and thought, ‘That kid finally knows how to use his brain.’
“Fine… But this will only be valid while Levi and Chance are in this school. if Levi skips a grade or transfers to another school, this agreement will be void immediately.”
Nicole looked at Eric.
Eric nodded. “Okay, deal.”
He looked like he was thinking of Chance, but in fact, this was just his first step in approaching Nicole.
Eric was steadily walking into Nicole’s world, and no one could stop him this time.
Chance curled his lips happily.
“Thank you, Auntie! I’ll behave well and won’t cause trouble.”
Nicole smiled. She had no problems with Chance.
She was affected by Chance’s sudden change in mood.
“No problem.”
Nicole said with a smile.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Eric, who pursed his lips and took out his phone.
Then, he called George.
George’s secretary answered the phone.
“Hello, Mr. Ferguson. What can I do for you?”
“I have to talk to George. Is he available?”
“Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Quay isn’t at the office at the moment. He said that if it’s not an urgent matter, he’ll call back in three to four days.”
Eric said, “It’s urgent. I must contact him immediately.”
The conversation between the two bosses was brief yet impactful.
The level of urgency was subjective to each individual.
The secretary paused before he replied, “Okay. I’ll call Mr. Quay right away. Just a moment, please.”
The secretary hung up the phone. Soon after, Eric put his phone on the table.
Nicole was a little nervous.
Eric glanced at her. “Let’s eat first.”
Nicole had no appetite, but she did not want to be rude.
The temperature of the steak in front of her was just right. Eric had already picked up the knife and fork to cut the steak slowly.
Judging from his mood, Nicole could see that he was not at all affected.
Why would he be affected in the first place?
Nicole looked at the steak in front of her and suddenly asked, “Do you know Linda?”
Eric looked up in confusion.
“Michael’s aunt.”
Eric nodded and handed over the cut steak.
Nicole frowned slightly. She did not want to take it over because she had no appetite.
However, the current conversation was going so well. If she refused...
In the end, Nicole took it over.
Eric expressed his satisfaction.
“That name sounds familiar. I’m familiar with one person in the political circle here, and Michael’s aunt is with that person now. That’s how I got my invitation from her.”
Eric did not hide anything from Nicole and told her everything.
Nicole was speechless.
Sure enough, she guessed it right.
Eric chuckled lightly. “You should’ve asked me then, and I would’ve told you.”
Nicole said, “I guessed it.”
“You’re always smart.”
