The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2285

Suddenly, a strong arm stretched out and pulled Nicole up from the ground.

The next second, Nicole heard someone say, “It’s really you?”

Eric’s words drew Nicole back to reality.

She was silent for a second before she quickly wiped away her tears.

“Why are you here?”

Her voice was slightly hoarse, and she turned her face away as she did not want him to see her like this.

Eric grabbed her hand and saw the blood streaks and gravel on her palms. His face darkened a little, and he looked distressed.

“I had a meeting in the afternoon and passed by. What happened? Where are your driver and assistant?”

His voice was cold, and he was overstepping his bounds.

Nicole withdrew her hand and smiled nonchalantly.

“I accidentally fell. My car was rear-ended, and Logan is dealing with it now. I thought that I might as well ride a scooter in this traffic jam and didn’t expect to accidentally hit the curb.”

Nicole did not have to explain so much.

She just subconsciously wanted to protect Clayton’s existence.

Eric's eyes flickered. Her explanation made him feel better.

His complexion improved slightly.

Suddenly, someone was honking at them from behind.

The car behind was urging Eric’s car to move because it was blocking the way.

Nicole pursed her lips, turned around, and was about to bend down to pick the scooter up when Eric stopped her.

“Get in the car first. You can’t continue to ride the scooter in this state.”

“It’s okay.” Nicole frowned slightly.

However, Eric forcibly grabbed her by the hand, stuffed her into the car, and waved at the back.

Mitchell got down from the driver’s seat and looked at Nicole in disbelief.

“Ms. Stanton, it’s really you?”

He only thought that she looked a little familiar when he was in the car.

Due to that, he did not question Eric being a good Samaritan.

After all, it was understandable.

Unexpectedly, the person riding the electric scooter was really Nicole.

Nicole nodded lightly.

She did not resist, and her head was buzzing from the noise behind.

Besides, it was not suitable for her to ride a scooter in her current state.

Eric walked around to the driver’s seat and looked at Mitchell.

“Contact Logan and get rid of that scooter. I’ll go to the meeting venue later.”

“Alright, President.”

Mitchell looked at Nicole and smiled politely.

Eric drove very steadily.

The car turned right and merged into the main road.

Nicole remained silent in the back seat.

There was a nice faint and warm sandalwood scent in the car that gradually calmed her nerves.

Eric coughed and reminded her.

“Nicole, there are band-aids and disinfectant in the compartment next to you. You should treat your wound first.”

Nicole looked down at her palms.

Although her skin was torn and blood was oozing out, it was not critical.

“I’ll just wash it when I get to the venue.”

Eric did not continue to speak.

He looked at her through the rearview mirror. Nicole sat there quietly and looked as beautiful as a painting.

However, she looked like she had something on her mind. She looked like she was shrouded in despair.

For some reason, Eric’s mood was affected, but he concentrated on driving.

When they arrived at the venue and went in together, they attracted a lot of attention.

Although Clayton’s disappearance caused a heated discussion among the public, the Stanton family did not refute the rumors. Instead, they only dismissed the discussion, which showed that Clayton was in trouble.

Seeing Eric and Nicole side by side, everyone inevitably began to wonder if they had a second chance.

However, they were not ordinary people.
