Eric raised his eyebrows. "I'm going to look here too."
He pretended to open a cabinet. Nicole glared at him, ignored him, and continued to flip through the things.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Eric saw a small, inconspicuous box on top of the cabinet.
Nicole tiptoed and was just about to reach it.
Just before she could hold it steady, the box fell.
It was too late to dodge. Nicole saw that it was about t o smash on her forehead and closed her eyes tightly. Her heart sank.
'Ugh! What bad luck!'
However, the expected pain did not happen. Instead, a large, slightly cool hand with a faint scent of cologne covered her head and blocked her eyes.
Nicole could feel the dull thud of the box falling and hitting the back of Eric's hand, but he did not flinch.
At that moment, her heart felt like it had been hit by that box and fluttered slightly.
Eric removed his hand. His voice was magnetic and mellow.
"Luckily it didn't hit you..." 1
He handed the box in his hand to her. "I don't think they'll hide it in such an obvious place. You wanna take a look?"
Nicole glanced at him and faintly withdrew her gaze. She opened that box and sure enough, it was empty.
She was not that disappointed and casually threw the box on the table at the side, then continued to look around.
Nicole did not thank Eric and acted like that little episode just now did not exist.
However, when Eric continued to follow her, she did not scold him again.
The second floor was somewhat gloomy, but the light outside through the broken windows was just enough t o light up Nicole’s body.
Her eyes were crystal clear. The curvature of her side profile was smooth, and her red lips were vibrant. Just her side profile was enough to stun the crowd. She was the kind of effortless beauty that had a non-negligible existence when she stood there, unlike others who needed to be dramatic to make their presence known.
She had an innate regality that could not be hidden.
The more one looked at her, the more beautiful she seemed.
Nicole, who was walking in front, could notice the burning gaze from behind. Every time she turned to glare at him, he just happened to be looking down in search of something.
His serious look was really strange.
The camera was also pointed at her from time to time, which was really annoying!
Nicole walked around on the second floor and found nothing.
