Nicole swirled the drink in her glass. Her fingers were long, slender, and flawless like a beautiful work of art.
Nothing happened between them that night. Even if something did happen, this was her answer.
Eric wanted people to misunderstand their relationship, so she would deal with it in her own way.
He was making such a big show of it even before he managed to win her heart. It showed how much Eric was hung up on Nicole.
From an outsider's point of view, Nicole was the more open-minded one among them.
Thus, Eric’s advantage was considered worthless.
The people around heard it and wanted to pretend that they did not hear anything.
This was too much information to bear.
Who dared to laugh at Eric Ferguson?
Gerard choked for a moment. 'I was wrong... I shouldn't have asked Nicole to help me! These two were like fire and ice!'
The meal ended up being tasteless. Fortunately, it was not too awkward. Everyone went back satisfied.
Gerard followed Eric's people out to make arrangements, so Nicole and Eric were left in the
private room.
Nicole picked up her bag and wanted to leave.
Eric called out to her. Looking at her slim and beautiful back, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart and spoke.
"Do you know what's the difference between me and Gerard?"
Nicole was speechless.
He stood up and walked over.
"His wife has been his classmate for eight years, and now they're ready to have a second child."
His voice was low and raspy as he stared intently at her.
Nicole was puzzled by this sudden drop of random information.
Eric continued, "I'm single, so you should look at me more."
His words were tinged with jealousy and bitterness.
Nicole pursed her lips and swept a glance at Eric speechlessly. She then turned on her heels and left.
Eric was really annoying.
It was drizzling and windy outside.
As soon as Nicole went out, the driver came to pick her up with an umbrella.
Nicole never had the habit of driving after a business dinner even though she did not drink.
Once Nicole left, Gerard came back and saw Eric sitting there like a statue, with a cigarette in hand.
