The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 571

Gerard Lichman looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window speechlessly. His chest felt stuffy, and he felt so aggrieved!

He had no choice but to take the blame for Eric's orders.

Nicole received a call from Eric when she was on the way back to the office.

She wanted to hang up the call, but on second thought, she picked it up.

"Mr. Ferguson, what's the matter?”

Eric's voice was mellow and light. He was obviously in an uncontainable good mood.

Even if their fling was not made public, their relationship was still more than ordinary friends, so sooner or later, they would get back together.

"1 just found out about what Gerard Lichman did. He's too much. As a director of J&L Corporation, I didn't even know anything about it. I've already issued a stern warning, so don't worry. It won’t delay the progress of the project."

Nicole was silent for several seconds before she snorted.

"So, do you take me for a fool?”

Gerard Lichman would not have the guts to delay the project, so he must have been instructed by someone!

Eric was silent for a while. He then asked with feigned surprise. "What do you mean? Did you think that I ordered Gerard to do this? How could I do such an unscrupulous thing?"

He could not help but feel tense. If Nicole was really angry, their relationship would revert back to square one in an instant.

Eric would not be able to accept it.

He was apprehensive.

Every second she hesitated was like torture as if someone was cutting into his heart.

Finally, she let out a cold laugh. Her voice was clear and cold.

"Eric Ferguson, you really refreshed my understanding of you."

When she was just about to hang up, Eric anxiously shouted, "Honey, wait a minute..."

Nicole frowned and paused in her movements.

'Did I just go deaf? Was I hallucinating? What the hell did I just hear?!'

"Eric Ferguson, please be normal for once. I don’t want to hear that word coming from you again!"

'What bullsh*t honey?! How is such a disgusting address even appropriate between us?!’

Nicole was speechless.
