Nicole had a smug smile on her face. She nodded to the others and raised an eyebrow at Ian. "Carter, this business expansion of yours is quite sudden, huh?"
Ian leaned into her and whispered. "I'm just lucky to have you! I didn't expect to clear it out so quickly..."
Otherwise, Ian would have to pay for his big talk out of his own pocket.
The two bigwigs sat in the front. The signing ceremony was simple, solemn, and quick.
This time, the main character was Ian because he was the organizer. Naturally, everyone's attention was focused on him.
Nicole sat next to Ian and stole the limelight, as always.
Ian and Nicole were surrounded by others for small talk as they talked joyously. The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.
The people surrounding Eric and Clayton were those who wanted to patronize them, which was a completely different scene from Nicole and Ian.
Clayton and Eric looked restrained and calm as they looked at the other side. They both could not help but feel like they were helping a love rival.
In the middle of the reception.
Nicole frowned when she saw Eric limping over. She took a few steps forward.
"Mr. Ferguson, you can find someone to attend on your behalf if it's not convenient for you to move around."
Eric’s eyebrows relaxed a bit.
"I wanted to come personally to ask when you will be coming back to Imperial Gardens."
In the beginning, she promised that she would stay with him until he was fully recovered.
Nicole paused for a moment. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"I don’t think it's appropriate for me to be there. Isn't M s. Harrison here for you, Mr. Ferguson? If I go back to Imperial Gardens, I'm afraid the entire Ferguson family would want to skin me alive!"
Eric’s eyes sank slightly. His face immediately turned glum when at the mention of that name.
Sure enough, everyone knew what the Ferguson family was going for. Nicole was so smart, so how could she not see it?
"No one else but you have any possibility of being my wife, and no one can decide for me.”
Eric's tone was resolute. His eyes were extremely firm.
