Eric hooked his lips. "Because the invitation has been delivered to me."
Nicole was speechless.
Her heart shook. Stanton Corporation and Ferguson Corporation both had a vested interest in this project and were both evenly matched candidates.
There was no reason for Clayton Sloan to invite Ferguson Corporation and not Stanton Corporation.' Has Clayton already decided?'
Looking at Nicole's glum face, Lil Michael immediately tugged at her sleeve.
"Pretty Lady, if you want to go, I can invite you..."
'Anyway, it's held by Daddy, so I can invite my friends too, right?
Eric looked at Lil Michael and thought, 'What big talk...'
Nicole did not take it to heart thinking that Lil Michael was only being thoughtful to comfort her.
She smiled at the little charmer and looked at Eric with a clear, cold gaze.
"Mr. Ferguson, you're here to show off then?"
Eric’s eyebrows knitted slightly. "I lack a female companion. You can..."
Nicole put down the teacup she was holding. "No need, I'll think of other ways."
Although being Eric's female companion was the easiest solution, she would only be in a passive state b y then.
That was not what she wanted.
Nicole stood up. Lil Michael quickly took her hand. " Pretty Lady, I wanna go to your house to play..."
She stroked his little head. "Okay."
Eric stood up and watched as Lil Michael jumped and pulled Nicole’s hand away.
He clenched his fists. A few strands of hair covered his cold, stern brow. The tender look on his face faded and he had a moment of struggle.
At that moment, Eric really wanted to give Nicole the opportunity instead.
As soon as they went out, the bodyguard's voice came through the miniature earphones in Lil Michael’s ears.
"Young Master, it's time to invite her to dinner. You can’t let a girl go hungry."
Lil Michael nodded and smiled as he tugged on Nicole's hand.
"Pretty Lady, let’s go for dinner before we go home, alright?" "We can go home and I'll get the maids to cook for you?" “No, I wanna eat..." His eyes rolled around as he pondered. "Ice cream!”
Nicole could not help but laugh. ‘He's really a little kid.'
