The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 39

Nicole thought, 'So that's how it is...he's already a shareholder, huh? I just didn’t expect Eric Ferguson had set his eyes on the field of artificial intelligence for so long.'

If Gerard Lichman did not take the initiative to tell Nicole this, Nicole would not have been able to find out. The fact that he told her this information also proved that he genuinely wanted to cooperate with her.

Although Nicole was not happy about Eric’s involvement, she had a clear mind and separated her personal affairs and business well. She would not give up on this opportunity.

Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled. "With Ferguson Corporation's strength, you can very well enjoy the fruits of this cooperation by yourself. Why do you need a third party to get involved?”

She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Eric.

"After all, this is a brand new field that no one’s involved in, so Ferguson Corporation cannot take this risk alone."

The man's voice was deep and clear. The corners of his lips hooked up. "It won't be a wrong move for Stanton Corporation to choose J&L. I hope we'll have a pleasant cooperation.”

He raised his glass with his slender and beautiful hand. Gerard Lichman clinked his glass with Eric’s and the two men waited for Nicole's response.

Since there was no other choice, Nicole could only smile faintly and coldly as she gently raised her glass. The soft clink of the glasses was crisp and pleasant. Everything was settled.

Even though Nicole was not happy about it, there was no way out. Her chest felt stuffy and unpleasant.

Gerard breathed a sigh of relief and noticed the tense atmosphere between the two of them. He tried to ease the situation and said, "Why don't you two take the first dance as the opening to our anniversary celebration? I think this is undoubtedly the best way t o announce our cooperation."

Eric frowned slightly. Nicole chuckled and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears. She smiled perfunctorily and said, "Sorry, but I don't know how to dance."

After saying that, she turned on her heels and left, ignoring Eric's cold and sullen gaze.

Gerard shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just one dance, but she's not even willing to. It seems that our future cooperation won't be very pleasant. Mr.

Ferguson, you're the first among the elites that have such a messy divorce."

Eric's face sank as he stared at Nicole's swaying dress. His expression turned even more downcast.
