Eric’s face sank. He pursed his lips, and his eyes were sharp.Back then, Eric had approached the people at the top. The upper brass could not do anything about it, and it was impossible to risk more lives because of a corpse.At that time, an arms dealer approached him and said that she could help him. That person was Angie.He originally did not believe her, but she did it.She brought Hendrick’s body back in one piece and delivered it to Eric.Eric still remembered that he asked what her conditions were.Angie did not want anything. She just told him to remember the name “Angie”.However, before he left, Eric still left a small check as payment.He did not like to owe others.Later, Eric returned home with the corpse and left his unit. No matter which forces he stepped into, he made connections quickly, and his power was no longer that simple rookie in the unit.He found out about Angie’s identity, the arms dealers, and the light and dark zones.Today, Eric was able to st
Angie’s smile froze on her face and slowly faded.There was silence for a while.She looked at Eric and said, “So, you don’t accept the deal?”Eric stubbed out the cigarette. His gaze seemed to be quenched with ice.“I don’t accept it.”Angie stood up, looked at him, and left in silence.The office door opened and closed.Eric’s eyes were dark and sullen as he remained silent. There was only the vague feeling of a chill in the air.Mitchell pushed the door in with a glum expression.“President, we found out that your father has not been seen in Australia for three days. No one around him knows his whereabouts. In the past, he would often disappear for a few days in a row to go out for fun or study tours, so no one took it to heart. Unexpectedly, this time... Should I inquire with the other arms dealers we’re familiar with?”Even if they did not get involved with firearms, they knew quite a few people in this business.After all, the money they had came and went, and a lot of
Nicole got off work and looked at the man standing in front of a low-profile black Cayenne downstairs.Her eyes lit up and she walked over quickly with a smile.“Are you here to pick me up? Why didn’t you come upstairs? How long have you been waiting?”In front of her, Clayton’s eyes rippled with a light smile. He held out his hand, and Nicole placed hers on his large hand.He squeezed slightly, and Nicole was dragged into his arms.The two of them quietly embraced. Nicole smelled the warm and silent fragrance on his body, the light aroma wafting into her nostrils.Her hands wrapped around his waist, and she surrendered almost her entire weight on his body.A few seconds later, she suddenly exclaimed.“Have I told you that your waist is really thin before?”Nicole felt the man’s body stiffen for a moment. Then, his eyes darkened, and he looked down on her. His eyes shined with an unknown meaning.Nicole continued to sigh. “It’s different from a girl’s. Your waist feels strong
Yvette remembered the first time she fought so badly with Sean. She had resented him for his deception.It was because she still cared.Now?Yvette could not explain it, but she suddenly did not want to argue with him anymore, let alone hear any news about him.The moment she left the birthday party, she suddenly felt like she had let go.She was no longer as enamored with the man she was so obsessed with before.It was just so-so.She seemed to have done a stupid thing that left her bruised and humiliated to the core.Yvette wanted to leave him behind.Why did she have to live miserably because of him?That was not something that she, Yvette Quimbey, could do.Nicole went in. Clayton went back upstairs to put his stuff away and did not rush back down, so the two ladies did not restrain themselves when they were talking.There was a strange smell the moment Nicole walked in.Nicole went over and took a look at the dining table which had a sumptuous spread of dishes that we
Although Yvette was exposed for faking her cooking skills, she did not feel any guilt at all since she spent money to treat her guests to food.Nicole and Clayton finished their meal, and Yvette was almost done drinking.Yvette was slightly tipsy, and her face was slightly red.Clayton packed up the items and called the private restaurant for them to come and pick up the cutlery. Then, he saw Yvette holding the pile of snacks and beginning to eat.Nicole gave Clayton a look, and Clayton nodded regretfully before leaving upstairs.Nicole would probably not be able to come out tonight.She took a warm wet towel for Yvette and wiped her face.“Last night, he didn’t make a single phone call. But today, he made a hundred calls. Don’t you think he’s a scumbag? He even waited for my anger to subside before calling me to apologize.”Yvette laughed coldly.Nicole pursed her lips and poured a cup of honey water for Yvette.“I think that since you made up your mind, don’t hesitate anymo
Nicole looked at him suppressing the anxious look on his face and smiled faintly.“Mr. Moore, I'll say this again. She's not at my place. Please search somewhere else.”Then, Nicole turned around and pressed the button for the elevator.However, Sean did not give up and followed after her, holding the elevator doors and looking at her. The veins stood out on his forehead.“I want to talk to her!”Nicole said, “Contact her yourself.”“She's not picking up my calls. She's still angry with me.” His face was stiff and cold.Nicole said, “If she's not picking up your calls, then there are only two reasons. One, she's waiting for you to come to her door to apologize, but she didn't tell you where she is. Two, she wants you to give up.”Nicole smiled and looked at Sean's almost broken expression.Logan entered the building and saw the standoff at the elevator. He instantly acted as if he was facing a great enemy.He quickly got someone to drag Sean away from blocking the elevator an
There were clear hints of anger that were vaguely suppressed in Sean’s eyes.Sean clenched his fists tightly. “Did she tell you that?”Nicole smiled. “No. We never talk about stuff like that, but it doesn’t mean we don’t know.”Sean’s face eased slightly.“I only want to explain it to her.”“As far as I know, the people who chased after her that night were me and Julie. You didn’t even make a single phone call and didn’t care about her safety. Why are you so anxious now?”Nicole smiled at him. A trace of discomfort flashed in Sean’s eyes.The air was quiet for a few moments.Nicole guessed it was because he did not want to talk to her about these things.She could not be bothered to listen either.Nicole curled her fingers and knocked twice on the table. Her tone was calm and slow.“Go back. She’ll meet you if she wants to meet you. It’s useless for you to come to me.”Sean looked at Nicole. His lips were pressed into a straight line.His eyes were
Michael put his other arm around Nicole, flung himself into her arms, and nodded.“It hurts... It really hurts!”Nicole touched his little face, genuinely heartbroken.“It’s okay. I’ll take you back and fix it. It’ll get well soon.”Michael nodded solemnly and sniffled. He obediently let the doctor put the plaster on it.The teacher stood by the side and sighed in relief when everything was done.“Ms. Stanton, it won’t be convenient for Lil Michael to go to school in this condition. Why not let him rest at home for a while before coming back to school?”Nicole had the same thoughts and touched his head. “Okay.”The teacher smiled and was just about to say something when Lil Michael turned his head to look at Nicole.“Where’s Daddy?”“Your daddy went abroad for a meeting. He just left today and is still on the plane.”After she finished, she was afraid that he would think too much and hurriedly explained, “Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to your daddy. He won’t
