Eric felt as if he had dug a pit for himself. He had to jump even if he did not want to.If he had known earlier, he would have ruined it at all costs!Mitchell did not say anything and looked at him in silence.Impulsiveness was the devil!Eric picked up a cigarette in annoyance. Smoke curled around him as he knocked on the table. “Forget it. Just consider it money thrown away.”Mitchell did not know what to say and could only try to comfort him.“President, Dominic Young of Falcon Entertainment is very optimistic, and it’s predicted that the ratings won’t be low. Our investment won’t be thrown in for nothing. It might even be profitable.”Eric looked at him with a dark and cold gaze.“If it were you, would you want this money?”Profit?He wanted the show to crash and burn!Mitchell stood there with a blank face, not daring to say a word more.Toto would be useful at a time like this, but unfortunately, he was not here.Then, he obtained first-hand information.The progr
There were two doors on the north and south side of the venue. It was unknown if the program team arranged it on purpose.As soon as Dominic’s words fell, he clapped his hands, and the two doors opened at the same time.Everyone froze for a moment. The male guest who appeared at the south door was Xander.Clean, bright, and elegant. Xander stood there with a gentle smile.However, what was more shocking was that the male guest who appeared in the north was actually Eric!It was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue.Eric Ferguson actually came to the show?That shifty and fickle Eric Ferguson actually took part in this small and insignificant show?No one had known beforehand. The three female celebrities could not suppress their shock, nervousness, and joy. They began to worry about whether their makeup was exquisite enough to attract the attention of that man.It was as if they had forgotten what their original purpose for coming to this show was.While Eric stood there, h
Nicole rolled her eyes. She immediately understood that Dominic had been greedy and had pulled some strings in the middle.She was the one who recommended Xander, and Eric should be here using his own means.Nicole took a deep breath. There were many people here, so she could not make a fuss. Furthermore, the purpose of this whole thing was to support Livia, so she could only settle the scores later.She held out her hand speechlessly and began to applaud.Welcome.Then, everyone started clapping with meaningful looks, becoming more and more enthusiastic.The applause belonged only to Mr. Ferguson.Eric looked at Nicole, who took the lead in clapping, and his eyes softened slightly. The chill on his face receded a little.Finally, he walked in.Dominic breathed a sigh of relief.He finally passed the first hurdle.Eric walked up to Nicole’s side, and the people around very consciously gave way to him.He stood in the center of the group and stood out conspicuously.Strange
Eric was originally quite satisfied, but when he heard Xander’s name, his face instantly turned gloomy.That counterfeit was simply everywhere! He really needed to be taught a lesson!Unfortunately, Eric could not let people see a domineering president like him act so pettily.The reason why Nicole recommended Xander was because he had never got into any trouble except for occasionally starting some little tricks that he should not have. That was why she was willing to give him a chance.Unexpectedly, Eric came and stole the limelight.Without a doubt, Eric would be the center of attention in this variety show no matter how well Xander performed.They were given two small wooden boats. Yuliana, Sadie, and Livia’s group got into the boat and very excitedly discussed their strategy.Eric got on the boat and turned around to give his hand to Nicole. Nicole took a look at it but did not take it and jumped in herself.Xander, the only one left, took a trembling glance at Eric before
Who was Xander pretending to be pitiful for?At those words, Xander instantly stiffened and stopped flailing.Under everyone’s attention, he slowly stood up.The water did not even go past his waist.How awkward!It was silent.In an instant, the laughter and hurried screams at the lake came to an abrupt end.Nicole pursed her lips and quietly sat on the boat, breathing a sigh of relief, but she looked at Xander in the water with a complex gaze.She glanced at him a few times like she was looking at a fool. Then, she chuckled and eased the situation.“The water is really shallow. Do you want to go back and change your clothes?”Xander knew that he was in the wrong, but he was just too scared…He did not know that the water was so shallow. It was really too embarrassing.Especially in front of the wealthy woman, Nicole.“N-No.”Eric snorted coldly.“Since you don’t need to change, you can just push the boat for us in the water. Our team must have lost after the scene you
However, in an instant, Xander thought it over.Xander turned to reveal a bright smile.“Yes, Mr. Ferguson was thoughtful. I want to walk back by myself as well. I’ll just consider it a little challenge for myself.”Then, he turned around and went into the water again.Xander waded back into the water.He did not look back, and his figure was desolate and firm.Nicole hesitated to speak, but there really were not enough boats. If she contacted the people on the other side to deliver the boat, then it might take even more time.No delays were allowed.After thinking about it, she turned around and left.Eric caught up with her in a few steps and pulled her hand, fiercely rubbing the fingers that Xander had touched.He rubbed so hard that her hand turned red, looking extraordinarily piercing on the white and soft hand.Nicole coldly drew her hand back, her gaze extremely light.“Are you crazy?”Eric’s eyes grew bloodshot at some point, and his low voice restrained his emotio
The two people’s faces instantly changed as they panicked.“No… That’s not what we meant. We just said that their lifestyles might be different. We didn’t mean anything against Ms. Stanton.”Nicole smiled faintly. There was not the slightest bit of coldness in her eyes. On the contrary, her gaze held a bit of tenderness.“I know, no one meant any malice. You were just talking casually. Don’t scare them, Ms. Lehman.”Seeing that Nicole really did not seem angry at all, everyone sighed in relief.She was more approachable than they imagined…Yuliana glanced at Eric and cleared her throat. “Ms. Stanton is a good person and will definitely find someone who truly loves her in the future. Mr. Ferguson as well.”Eric’s eyes coldly gazed over. How was it that a group of women with failed marriages became qualified to teach Nicole?Sadie suddenly took out her phone. “Right, let’s add each other’s WhatsApp so it’s easier to communicate with one another. We’ll be a group in the future.”
The other three women were all on the thin side.Sadie frowned, slightly dissatisfied.“The rules can’t change just because you said so…”“It’s all for the sake of fairness…”Eric stood there, annoyed. The chattering women over there were really irritating!When he heard that they wanted to separate him and Nicole, he looked at the fat woman Yuliana and his eyes could not help but turn cold.Just as he wanted to open his mouth to set things right, he suddenly saw Nicole turn the other way.Nicole said, “Then you and Mr. Ferguson will be on one team. I’ll go to the other one.”Yuliana beamed. She did not expect Nicole to agree so easily.It was clear reconciliation between these two was really out of the question.Her chance had come!Nicole jumped into the other boat, and Eric looked at Yuliana with gloomy eyes. She reached out to let him help her, but his gaze only swept over her indifferently. Then, he turned away, his temperament icy.He did not care that the cameras wer
