The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 397

The tatami was spacious and the lighting in the room was perfect.

Nicole pushed Eric's wheelchair over as she thought t o herself, 'He really has so many problems!'

"What else do you need?"

Eric said, "I don’t wanna sit here. I wanna sit over there. It's more comfortable there."

He did not want to be in a wheelchair.

Nicole paused and frowned, then told him frankly, "I can't lift you."

Not unless he wanted to be disabled for life!

Nicole thought that Eric was deliberately being nitpicky.

Eric helplessly propped himself up on the wheelchair and made a gesture to stand up. All his strength was concentrated on his left leg.

He wanted to move over a little, but a small action like this caused sweat to seep from his forehead.

Nicole frowned tightly. Her reflexes were faster than her thoughts as she lunged forward to support the man who was about to fall.

All of his weight was pressed on her. Her thin waist tightened as her breathing grew heavy.

When she looked to the side, she saw Eric’s guilty eyes. The reproachful words that were at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down her throat.

He would not have ended up like this if it were not to save her.

She knew that she was being too petty.

Thus, Nicole could only support him silently. The pleasant scent of mint on his body enveloped her.

She used all her strength to carefully place him on the tatami, taking care not to touch his right leg.

Once Eric sat down, the both of them were sweating profusely.

Even though Eric’s face was pale, his gaze was gentle and soft.

Nicole frowned. "Tell me which files and laptop you need."

Eric’s hand landed on her wrist before she could turn around.

"No need. Watch a movie with me."

His other hand reached for the remote control. With the press of a button, the surrounding light dimmed, and the curtains closed automatically. A large screen rolled down on the opposite wall.

Nicole froze for a moment and almost exploded.

'He went through all that trouble to sit on the tatami

just to watch a movie?!'

She turned around to glare at him. "Eric Ferguson, you're sick!"

Nicole could not stand it anymore.

Eric's expression was indolent. His eyes were somewhat innocent.
