Gerard said, "Mr. Ferguson, we've known each other for so long now. I'd like to apologize to you for my previous slip of the tongue."
Eric was silent for a few seconds. He then picked up his glass and downed the wine.
Gerard laughed and winked at Nicole.
Nicole cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Ferguson is not a petty person, so you don't have to take it to heart, Mr. Eichman."
This was the first time she mentioned Eric during the entire meal.
Eric answered. "Yes, it’s all in the past.”
Nicole thought about it. "Mr. Eichman, this also means that you're a bold and daring person who is very affectionate and loyal."
"Is that so?" Eric's tone was cold.
Gerard was shocked by Nicole’s sudden praise and returned to his seat.
Eric did not say anything. He only repeatedly thought about Nicole's praise to Gerard and the small interactions between them. 'When did they become so familiar with each other?'
Nicole ignored Eric and only looked at Gerard during the dinner.
Eric was annoyed and drank a few more glasses of wine.
There was a couple at their table who was still in the honeymoon stage. Their intimate little gestures drew the envy of single people at the table.
Eric glanced at Nicole and saw that she was staring at a dish of shelled prawns on the table hesitantly.
He suddenly reached out and took a piece, then carefully peeled the prawn with his hands.
Everyone only thought that Eric liked to eat prawns.
However, Eric placed the deshelled prawn next to Nicole's mouth.
The crowd saw this scene and froze. 'Oh, turns out it's Ms. Stanton who likes prawns...'
Nicole looked down and froze for a moment. She calmly swept him a glance and did not take it, much less take a bite.
She smiled and leaned back in her chair, distancing herself from his hand and the prawn.
Gerard saw this scene and figured it out when he thought about Eric’s post.
There was only one woman who could make Eric Ferguson peel a prawn for her.
Gerard asked, "So, you two really got back together?”
