Nicole was looking down at her phone with a wide smile when she suddenly heard someone in the crowd shout, "Eric!"
She subconsciously inclined her head to look in the direction of the voice. A familiar face came out from the exit, which made Nicole's smile instantly stiffen.
'Wendy Quade? What a coincidence!'
Eric Ferguson came to pick Wendy up with his assistant Mitchell. Wendy's eyes turned red the moment she saw Eric. She could not help but run up and hug him.
The pair's entangled figures were particularly piercing to Nicole’s eyes. Nicole thought that she was over it, but her heart still could not help but throb with pain. There was an astringent and heavy feeling in her chest, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Before Nicole came back to her senses, an arm wrapped around her shoulders from behind and pulled her into a tight embrace. When Nicole smelled this familiar scent, she instantly snapped back to her usual self. She pulled the large hand that covered her eyes and pouted.
"K, how old are you that you still like to spook people?”
Kai’s handsome and elegant face was right in front of her. His features were so exquisite like a carefully carved sculpture without the slightest flaw. It was truly a face that women would be jealous of.
He wore sunglasses and raised his eyebrows as he said, "How could you make me wait for so long?”
"OMG! That’s Kai! He's out!!” Someone around them recognized him.
The fangirls immediately came up and surrounded them.
Nicole looked shocked and asked him in a small voice, "Where's your bodyguard?"
"I sent him home on vacation,” Kai said calmly.
"What do we do then?"
"You have to protect me, of course..." Kai fully entrusted Nicole with his safety.
Nicole was baffled.
The crowd was getting bigger by the second. Everyone saw Kai, so in a moment, the airport was bustling with fangirls' screams.
Kai held Nicole protectively in his arms to prevent her from being pushed away by the crowd while countless people began to raise their phones and cameras and shouted Kai's name.
'I'm regretting this. I should've known not to come!’ Nicole thought.
She lowered her head and covered her face, not wanting to be in the shot, but there was no way she could avoid those cameras. Some people in the crowd who frequently surfed the internet and followed the gossip column recognized Nicole.
"Isn't that woman in Kai’s arms that Nicole? The one who'd just divorced Eric Ferguson?"
"Yeah! That's THE Nicole! Why are they together?"
