Nicole took her phone, looked down at it, and was so furious that she could not speak.
Eric unblocked himself on her phone and even changed his name to "Life Saver".
He was really thick-skinned.
Was he trying to make her feel bad if she wanted to delete his number?
Nicole bit her lower lip, not wanting to talk to him anymore, and turned to leave.
Eric followed her without haste. He matched her pace as if he was her shadow.
When they reached the entrance of the restaurant, Eric suddenly said, "Nicole, I'll teach you to swim."
Eric still remembered that after the plane crash, when he could not find her in the vast ocean, Kai told him that she could not swim.
On that variety show when Nicole saw that Miles Kavanagh was underwater for too long, that panic and fear Nicole felt were not from her concern for Miles, but because of her phobia of water.
How could Nicole, who had always been such a competitive person, not know how to swim?
Eric wanted to teach her so that she would be in less danger next time.
However, Nicole's body stiffened upon hearing those words.
Her back that was facing Eric swayed slightly, and the blood drained from her face.
Nicole suddenly realized that even after a long time, certain memories, like the suffocating feeling of having her head shoved underwater, would leave a strong impact on her entire being. As long as she thought about it, her body would break out in cold sweat, and she would gasp for air.
The air became heavier and more depressing.
Nicole finally turned to look at Eric. The corners of his lips were curled up, but her almond eyes were cold, and she was exuding a chilly vibe.
Eric did not understand why Nicole's expression suddenly turned so glum.
"Mr. Ferguson, being nosy is a very annoying quality."
Eric's eyes were determined as he stepped forward and looked down at her.
"Is that so? Why don’t you want to learn? Give me a reason."
The man’s eyes were deep and dark, reflecting the countless exquisite landscape lights at the entrance that looked like a river of stars.
Nicole clenched her teeth. Her face was pale, and the chill in her eyes was very obvious.
Eric suddenly realized that he might have touched on her taboo, but this made him even more curious.
