Eric did not know whether Nicole heard him or not because she did not have any reaction.The rope just bounced them back and forth, up and down…Nicole’s body gradually adapted to this motion, and the panic she felt gradually faded away.When she opened her eyes again to look at him, her eyes were only filled with anger and coldness!After going back up, Nathaniel and the group hurriedly came to them, concerned.“Nikki, are you okay?”“How are you? Do you feel dizzy?”Eric was isolated on the side.Everyone knew that Eric did this on purpose, so no one comforted him.Nicole was the innocent party after all!Even Mikayla just stood there and looked at those two people silently.She did not know what just happened.Nicole shook her head with a miserably pale face. She could not speak for a moment and only felt a little nauseous in the stomach.Her eyebrows knitted together. “Can this be over?”Nathaniel paused and looked at the expressionless Eric on the side who looked a l
Mikayla looked up at Nathaniel with shocked eyes. Nathaniel did not look like he was joking. He took a step back and made way for her to jump off.However, he was sure that Mikayla would not dare to breach the contract.No one could be fooled by her pretentious acting skills.Everyone could see that Mikayla deliberately steered the show’s direction to deliberately target Nicole.Mikayla bit her lower lip and knew that there was no room to back out.She glanced at the cold Eric, whose eyes were not on her for one moment.Mikayla walked step by step to the side as she looked back with lingering eyes like she was waiting for someone to stop her.In the end, she looked at Nicole and could only put her hopes on that woman.As long as Nicole said the word, the rest of the group would not target her, right?However, Nicole only looked pale as she held onto the side railing. She looked so impatient with her eyes closed and one hand over her chest, not caring whether Mikayla was chosen
When Nicole woke up again, she was surrounded by the smell of disinfectant.It turned out that she was in the hospital.She breathed a sigh of relief.In her dream, she thought that she was still free-falling on the bungee rope, falling, bouncing, and falling again…The repeated weightlessness made her body tremble and tense with panic.A warm towel wiped her forehead for her. Nicole looked to the side. When she saw the person clearly, her face instantly turned glum.“Why haven’t you left yet?”Eric replied, “Mm, it’s my fault…”His voice was low and raspy, he sounded endlessly remorseful.Even when Nicole was unconscious, she seemed to be having nightmares because she was constantly sweating while she chanted, “Don’t push me…”It was all his fault!He did not expect that Nicole would get so scared.If he had known this would happen, he would not have pulled her down with him. He would rather jump down a hundred times himself.Nicole looked away and dodged his towel.Just
Nicole said, “Get ready, I want to go home.”Demi froze for a moment and immediately responded, “Okay, the driver is waiting outside.”Eric stood up, looked at Nicole silently for a moment before he said, “Are you feeling better?”Nicole hesitated for a moment. “Yeah.”Hearing that her tone was not stiff, Eric was a little taken aback. His gaze instantly turned gentle and soft.Previously, he was inexplicably afraid that Nicole would get traumatized, but he forgot that Nicole was not a fragile porcelain doll.Only Nicole would throw a temper tantrum like this after such an incident.Eric wanted to send her back, but before he went out, he received an emergency call from the office. Mitchell’s voice was very anxious, so Eric said goodbye to Nicole and left on his own.Nicole was awake on the way back home. Her phone was bombarded with messages of concern.Nathaniel was the most exaggerated one. There were 99 unread messages from him alone…Nicole did not even bother reading th
Nicole’s post temporarily quelled everyone’s desire for her to return to the show.After all, she was the CEO of Stanton Corporation and did not need to depend on the entertainment industry to make a living. Thus, she was certainly qualified to make that decision.This fever quickly subsided.Nicole thought that this was just an excuse for her to withdraw from the show, but early the next morning, Tigger automatically adjusted the room’s settings to daytime mode before she woke up.When she opened her eyes, the sunlight spilled through the curtains and only her face.Nicole did a lazy stretch and poked Tigger.“You’re mistaken. It’s not time to get up yet…”Tigger jumped up and rubbed its head on her forehead.“Someone’s waiting for you! They won’t let you stay in bed!”Nicole had no choice but to slowly get up since her sleepiness was almost gone.It took twenty minutes for her to freshen up.She chose a luxury Elie Saab’s casual dress from this season. It was a light beige
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Some agreed, some opposed, while some just watched.Nicole looked at Grant, whose eyes were slightly narrowed. His face was cold and indifferent as if he did not care about their arguments.Logan saw this and coughed heavily. Everyone instantly quieted down and waited for Grant’s response.Grant’s gaze was slightly cold as he swept a glance at Christian Jenner. His voice carried a grim chill.“Mr. Jenner, you want to give your son a chance that badly?”Christian Jenner was cowardly, but he worked up the courage to do this because he knew that his son would be kicked out of Stanton Corporation if his son did not have some achievements.“President Grant, Xion’s achievements in the business department are obvious to all. I believe that he can take on this project.”The corners of Grant’s lips curled into a seemingly cold smile, but on closer look, there seemed to be no changes on his face.“Then what if he can’t close the deal?”The a
Christian smiled and had a wild look in his eyes. “Great! It’s a deal!”The meeting was adjourned.When Nicole and Grant were the only ones left in the room, Grant helplessly held his forehead.“I didn’t mean for you to bet with him!”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Well, it’s already come to that point, so we can’t just leave the bet, right? Also, you were the one who involved me in this!”“That’s because his son is a loser, so of course, we can’t count on him just because of a bet. I involved you in this because I really want you to facilitate this project.”Nicole smiled meaningfully and was in the mood for gossip.“Why do you hate Christian Jenner’s son so much?”Grant snorted coldly. “He seduced a female subordinate and created such a scandal. Our company almost made it onto the trending topics because of him. Do you know how much money I spent to set things right? He still doesn’t know what he did wrong and is trying to find a way to place that woman in our finance departmen
At night, the city lights were bright and glimmering.Gremlin Club.Nicole went out happily. She wore a very casual plaid shirt and mini skirt today, which made her seem even taller and more slender because it showed off her long legs. No one could move their eyes away from her.Once she got to the private room, she saw Nathaniel spraying a bottle of champagne everywhere as he chased after Miles. It was very lively.Fabian sat on the side and was talking to the director about something. He looked very relaxed. When he saw Nicole, his eyes lit up. He smiled and stood up to greet her.“Ms. Stanton, you’re here!”The director and others also greeted her. There were some who looked unfamiliar to her. They were probably some of Nathaniel’s fellow explorers.Mikayla sat alone in the corner.She was dressed very extravagantly like she was about to walk the red carpet.At this time, no one cared about her as she sat there by herself.Since the last bungee jumping incident where the c
