Eric was stunned and looked at her with delight before realizing that this was not the direction to the hotel.
He thought, 'Maybe she’s afraid of people finding out and wants to go to a more distant hotel?'
Eric had never felt so excited and tangled like he was a t that moment.
The dim streetlights in the night seemed to be lighting up his path to happiness. Even the cold wind became gentle.
After a while, Eric felt that something was wrong.
There was more greenery as they drove further.
‘We're clearly in the suburbs... Did she wanna go out of town just for sex?' Eric thought.
He swept a glance at her car’s fuel gauge and immediately froze. They were almost out of gas!
Before he could open his mouth to remind her, the car suddenly stopped.
He looked at her in confusion.
Nicole suddenly turned to him and flung herself on his chest.
Eric's heartbeat stalled. Before he could react, his seatbelt was unbuckled, and the car door on his side
was opened.
The cold wind poured in, waking him up from his fantasies in an instant.
'She's gonna throw me out?!'
Eric’s thin lips were pursed. His eyes were dark.
Nicole lifted her chin. Her voice was as light as the breeze. "Get down."
She did not even bother to say another word.
Eric's heart was cold.
He got out of the car.
"If I said something to offend you just now, I can apologize..."
‘Damn it... I shouldn't have been so impatient...' Eric thought.
Nicole closed the car door and lowered the window. She turned to look at him.
She asked him something that seemed unrelated.
"Did you order J&L Corporation to delay the research?"
Eric's heart thumped. "No..."
