Nicole sniffed the air and asked, “What are you making?”“I made some hot chocolate with Amedei’s 70% dark chocolate. It’s so rich and smooth. You should try it!” Toto immediately recommended his creation. “Would you like a cup?”Nicole was enticed by the smell and nodded. “Is Mr. Ferguson asleep?”“Mr. Ferguson is having a meeting in the study. Sigh… A man like him who’s so hard-working and rich is truly hard to find!”Toto sighed while going back into the kitchen. He came out again with two mugs.“Luca, would you like one too?”Nicole took a sip of the hot chocolate and liked the silkiness. She looked at Luca. “Try some. Toto’s got quite the skills in the kitchen!”Luca looked so fierce and unapproachable when he turned away. “No thanks, he can have it.”Toto went over to Luca and pushed him to the table with all the strength he could muster with his 100 kg body.He was exhausted and sweating as he looked at Luca. “Don’t be so polite. I’ve already had my fair share just no
Luca’s expression turned extremely glum.His fists were tightly clenched as he tried his best to restrain his anger.Nicole could not stand the noise and opened the door just to see the two men sleeping at her door. She looked bewildered.“Um… Toto…”Luca’s face was taut as he said, “Miss, you should go in and rest.”Nicole laughed and shook her head.“It’s too noisy for me to fall asleep.”It was so loud that Kai asked why she turned up the bass so late at night.It felt like an earthquake!Luca could no longer hold back and kicked Toto.Toto’s body shook. He opened his eyes in shock and immediately showed his loyalty.“Ms. Stanton, why haven’t you slept yet? Don’t you worry, I won’t allow any danger to come near you. As long as Luca doesn’t leave, I won’t leave either…”Nicole was speechless. She closed her eyes and looked at Luca helplessly.“Go sleep in the guest room. I’ll be fine.”Luca wanted to say something, but he could only follow orders.He was a world MMA
Eric Ferguson rolled his wheelchair to the bathroom.Since he injured his leg, he wore baggy pants so that it was not difficult to take off. However, after some thought, he still put on his pajama pants.After all, he could not do anything at the moment, so he should not go too far.If Nicole was frightened by him, she might run away in a fit of anger.Eric surveyed his bare upper body with satisfaction. His chest was strong and lean, with well-defined lines. His sculpted muscles on the back and abs moved gently with breathing. His usual cold vibes were replaced with charisma.Toto’s reminder came to Eric’s mind. “Mr. Ferguson, your body and face are simply amazing! No woman will be able to resist your appeal, so during the bath, you don’t have to say anything. Just let Ms. Stanton indulge and enjoy her view. If she’s a little shy, it means that it’s a success!”Eric was a little doubtful, but he would give it a shot.A few minutes later, he heard the sound of someone opening th
Luca’s shoulder even had another towel to wipe Eric. His technique was like a professional!If Luca had not suddenly opened his mouth, Eric would not have known that the one who came to give him a bath was actually Luca!Eric was angry and annoyed because another man touched him, but he did not know who to take it out on.Luca’s fierce face was calm as he said, “Ms. Stanton ordered for me to give you a bath and massage…”Although Luca, as a bodyguard, felt very uncomfortable doing such a thing, this house only had two other men. That fat butler was snoring and could not be awakened even when Luca kicked him. Thus, Luca could only sacrifice himself.Eric’s eyes narrowed sharply. His face was complex and deep at this time. His chest was heaving violently, and his mind was blank.He clenched the handle of the wheelchair with a grim face.Luca looked a little hesitant as he made up his mind. “Mint scented then…”It did not seem appropriate that a big man would use strawberry-scente
Nicole was best at stabbing people in the heart, especially Eric’s. It felt amazing.Her toes rested against the door as she looked at Eric with a nonchalant smile.“Goodnight, Mr. Ferguson.”Nicole left without waiting for his response.She made it so clear to him, so he would certainly understand.If he pretended not to understand, then she had other ways to wake him up from his delusions.His tricks were so old-fashioned!Eric’s gaze was dark and sullen as he stared at her departing back. Those words were like knives stabbing at his heart. It was obviously very painful, but he could not blame anyone and could only suffer the pain because he deserved it.......The groundwork for the project from Clayton Sloan was finalized. Its specifications were very ambitious, involving a large scope. One of the most important parts was advancing the research of their current artificial intelligence project. Thus, Stanton Corporation involved J&L Corporation in the core project.Last
Eric Ferguson slowly ate the sushi in front of him. The delicate and elegant movements of his fingers were somewhat artistic.His words carried a faint coldness.“I’m just teaching her how to be a person in the fastest way possible.”Nicole frowned and did not understand what he meant.Eric patiently explained, “She used to be such a snob, so she didn’t think that she’d one day end up serving others. This will teach her a lesson.”Nicole raised her eyebrows and instantly understood.It was just that to Ingrid, such a punishment was a little too harsh.Unlike ordinary people who needed to support their families, Ingrid was a pampered young lady since birth,Nicole could not help but sigh in her heart. Eric was so ruthless even to his sister, which made Nicole think that she should not believe Eric’s show of weakness.However, from another perspective, scums like Ingrid were everywhere. The Ferguson family could afford to support Ingrid for life, so Eric was only doing so becaus
Out of politeness, Nicole kept that thought to herself.Clayton immediately sensed the change in Nicole’s mood and smiled decently.“Michael asked me to give it to you. He said that you’d like it, but I doubt it…”With that, Clayton Sloan casually tossed the bouquet of white chrysanthemums on the side of the table and reached out to shake hands with Gerard Lichman.‘What was I thinking to believe my stupid son that Nicole only likes white chrysanthemums?!’ Clayton thought.Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. ‘Oh… It turned out to be Lil Michael…”At the thought of this, Nicole missed the boy because she had not seen him in a while.Nicole regained composure and exchanged pleasantries with the rest. Gerard took a phone call and hung up after a few words.Gerard said, “Let’s go to the conference room. Everyone’s here.”Once they got to the conference room and saw the people inside, Nicole was slightly stunned.‘Eric Ferguson actually came in person?!’Although Eric was sitting i
Gerard Lichman thought that he could watch a good show.Eric swept a cold glance at him.“Nicole has high standards and won’t even look at minions like that.”If Tucker had even a semblance of calmness and confidence, Eric would not let him off so simply.Eric felt that seeing such a person as an opponent was insulting Nicole.......Nicole and Clayton had a smooth discussion because they had very similar views on most things.It was almost half an hour later when they came out of the office.Since Clayton still had some work to do back at the hotel, Nicole sent him out.“Lil Michael hasn’t shown up recently. Was he scared by the car accident last time?”Clayton smiled politely. “He’s even experienced a bombing, so how could he be scared? I just found him a few tutors, so he has quite a bit of homework lately…”Nicole instantly understood.‘Sigh… Kids really have no freedom… What a poor baby…’“If you want to see him, you can come over to the hotel anytime. He misses you.”
