Eric walked up to the ticket counter. His outstanding handsome features soon became the focal point. The attendant blushed and recommended him some romantic comedies.He did not care much for it and chose the movie with the closest showtime.When he glanced to the side, he saw the couple next to him holding a large bucket of popcorn and a Coke and frowned slightly.Nicole was bored sitting on the side with her chin propped up on her hand as she scrolled through her phone.She was looking at the group chat messages, where Yvette and Julie were discussing where they should go for a ski trip.Nicole wanted to give some inputs, but if they found out that she was out at the movies with Eric Ferguson, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.Next to her, a college-looking guy came over with a shy face.“Excuse me, Miss. May I ask if you’re from U of A? Which department are you in?”Nicole was stunned. ‘Right… U of A is just nearby…’She instantly felt a little giddy with
Eric looked at Nicole, who was next to him. She was just looking at the big screen with concentration. The curves of her side profile were soft. Her nose bridge was high, and every inch of her skin was flawless.Nicole quietly watched the movie. No matter how shocking or thrilling the sounds and scenes were, she was not the least bit afraid. Rather, she was watching with great interest and would let out a snort from time to time.It was like she was not impressed by this low-budget horror movie and was mocking those ridiculous special effects.She was treating it like comedy.Eric clenched his fists tightly. All those scenarios he had in his head did not happen. The anticipation and fervor in his heart also dissipated with each time she snorted. He looked up and stared grimly at this so-called horror film.He hated it to death.Nicole did not touch the popcorn or Coke the entire time.The couple in front of them were already glued as one as they shared a seat.When the movie
Eric’s eyes had a momentary flash of sharpness, ruthlessness, and firmness, which overwhelmed all other emotions.He was inherently noble, calm, and aloof.The moment Eric let go of Nicole, the butler of the Stanton family happened to walk over.“Miss... Oh, Mr. Ferguson, you’re here too.”Mr. Anderson was surprised. Eric’s face was calm and gentle as if nothing had happened.However, Nicole’s face was not very pleasant. She was somewhat pale and seemed to be angry.Since the relationship between these two was rather special, the butler was especially wary.Looking at the jacket draped over Nicole, Mr. Anderson immediately took out the shawl he prepared and respectfully handed it over.“Miss, the Chairman is waiting for you at home…”Nicole took a deep breath. She pushed Eric’s shoulder and took a step back, then yanked off Eric’s jacket and threw it on him. She then took over the shawl from Mr. Anderson and put it on.Nicole swept a contemptuous look at Eric and left in a
Once Nicole figured this out, she was in a much better mood.It was almost 11:00 pm, so she took a nice bubble bath, put on a rejuvenating mask, and got ready for bed.Nicole glanced at her phone and saw that there was a new friend request on her phone, with a familiar avatar that was all black. It was Eric Ferguson.The message he added was: “Regular friends.”The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched as she snorted lightly.This jerk was just threatening her a second ago, telling her to stay away from Nathaniel.Now he had the cheek to request to be friends?Nicole refused this friend request without a second thought.She felt sleepy, so she turned off her phone and went to bed.Eric saw the reply on his phone and his face sank.The notification was: “Friend request rejected.”‘Ugh, I must’ve scared her just now!’ Eric thought.He had worked hard all night but made no progress. He felt so desperate like he was facing an abyss, yet he was unable to do anything...The night wa
Aurora Club was a luxury private nightclub.Nicole had just finished a meeting with Logan and went straight to the club.When she arrived, someone led her to Room 8888. She pushed the door in and saw the private party held by Yvette and Julie. There were some other familiar friends present, as well as many other models and young actors in the entertainment industry. Basically, all of them were male. Even Fabian and Roman were also there. When they saw Nicole, everyone stood up to greet her one after another.Nicole smiled and thought that it was certainly very lively.Yvette pulled Nicole to the side and whispered in her ear, “This is a stud buffet! We specially prepared this for you, so don’t be polite with us. Just take away whoever you fancy…”Nicole’s body stiffened. She looked at Yvette dubiously. “What are you guys plotting…?”“You literally came back from hell! So, you gotta have some fun of course! I’m sure you were scarred from seeing whatever unsightly things you saw
Nicole looked at Nathaniel frankly. She did not have any interest in gaining his person or his heart, so she did not want it.Besides, the deep affection that Nathaniel spoke of was just because of her money, so Nicole did not feel much psychological burden.Without another word, Nathaniel took this money to put out the fire that was figuratively burning down his dreams.Julie and Yvette, who had overheard their conversation earlier, could not help but burst out in laughter.Yvette patted Nicole’s shoulder.“Gurl, spoken like a true rich biatch…”Nicole flipped her hair. “I am a rich b*tch!”The sound of music was deafening.The surrounding people were having fun, minding their own business. They were sensible enough not to be nosy.Nicole had a little too much to drink and felt a little dizzy, so she wanted to wash her face and get some fresh air to sober up. However, when she opened the door of the private room, she bumped into someone.The woman let out a sharp cry like
Once Quinn’s words fell, Nicole’s face stiffened for a moment. Nicole then burst out in laughter.“What does it have to do with me if Eric is willing or not? It’s not like I’m going to agree.”‘Where did Quinn’s confidence come from? Why should I pay attention to my private affairs just because of Eric’s wishful thinking?! How bewildering and ridiculous is that?!’Quinn was exasperated when she heard that.“In a few days, Old Master Ferguson will personally propose a marriage alliance with your Stanton family. This marriage alliance will only strengthen both families. Where will you find another affluent family that can compare to our Ferguson family?”Quinn already felt like they were making a big concession letting Nicole back into their family.What right did Nicole have to pretend to be dissatisfied about this marriage alliance?Nicole was a divorced woman, so even if she had a good family background, other wealthy families would be uncomfortable proposing marriage to her.
Nicole thought, ‘Eric Ferguson actually called to me where I am?!’ She had never seen this number before.Nicole was not in a hurry to hang up and laughed mockingly.“Didn’t Mrs. Ferguson tell you the location?”It could not be more obvious.Quinn probably told Eric all about Nicole and even added more frills and just to slander Nicole.However, Nicole did not care.There was silence over the phone. Just when Nicole was about to hang up, she suddenly heard Eric’s restrained voice, as if he was trying to hold back his emotions and was trying hard to calm himself down.“Don’t stay out too long, and drink less.”Nicole did not expect him to say such words and was slightly stunned for a moment. All the curse words that she had ready could no longer be vented out.Her chest felt heavy and stuffy like it was weighed down by a boulder.Nicole gently knitted her eyebrows and retorted in an unkind tone.“What do you care?!”After that, she hung up on him.‘This son of a b*tch Eri
