At the same time, the surroundings quieted down.Everyone’s faces had different degrees of thought and changes.Nicole did not avoid the question. Her expression was like she was in a press conference, focused but dignified.“My marriage with Mr. Ferguson was quite sensational back then, but that wasn’t my intention. There’s no pride in showing off the ugliest side of a marriage, but… We’ve discussed it and decided to be friends or business partners. That isn’t something to regret.”No one noticed that when Nicole answered the question, Eric had tensed with his fists on his knees, clenched tightly and bulging with veins.Her simple and casual words made her position clear.No one noticed that next to her, the man’s arrogant and haughty look had suddenly collapsed. His eyes lowered as he gazed at her with a sorrowful look, his expression tense and ugly.Every time he heard her say such things, he felt as if his heart was suddenly gouged out, making it hurt when he breathed.She
At that thought, Sadie’s bright and charming eyes turned on Eric and she said, “In fact, I think that marriage will restrict a lot of freedom. If two people who are in love can be together, why should they care about their status? If they love each other, they would always be together even if they do not get married. If they don’t love each other, then even if they marry, they’ll just end up divorced. We will meet many people in our lives, so there’s no need to be fixated on one person. If you look around, you’ll find that there’s much more wonderful scenery!”Yuliana slowly sucked in a breath of cold air and subconsciously glanced at Eric’s expression.It was as she expected. ‘Heh. His gaze was so sharp it was as if he wanted to hit someone. Fortunately, she stopped in time!’Nicole felt that what Sadie said was very reasonable. She nodded heavily and encouraged her to continue.Sadie smiled and could not help but grow confident upon seeing everyone agree with her.“I have a diff
Sadie’s expression changed a few times, shocked with a hint of apprehension.Yuliana could not help but smile, feeling a little smug.If Eric was so easy to obtain, she would have gotten him a long time ago. Sadie would not even get the chance.Fortunately, she changed her strategy wisely!Nicole glanced at Eric and said faintly, “She asked you about your views of marriage, not your evaluation of her.Eric glanced away, leaning his body sideways on a propped-up arm. “Our marriage didn’t fail. It was only suspended because of my fault. If you’re willing, I can prove that our marriage is the most perfect.”No one expected Eric to give such a sincere speech in front of everyone.Nicole stood up. Her expression was extremely cold. She looked at Eric indifferently. “Those are big words. Be careful you don’t break your back carrying them.”Perfect, her *ss!Her slender and beautiful figure had almost reached the door.She suddenly heard Eric’s determined voice. “My back is very str
Nicole lowered her eyes slightly and walked over, raising her hand to the side. Her noble and lazy posture made Eric feel inexplicably happy.The temperamental Nicole was really, really cute!Eric immediately handed her the room card. The door opened with a beep...Nicole went in and looked around, secretly sneering in her heart.This hotel under Ferguson Corporation was regarded as a landmark hotel in the city. People would choose this hotel when hosting all kinds of events held by political and business circles, but he still wanted to improve it?It would be great if Stanton Corporation could acquire it!Nicole stood there, shaking her head regretfully.What a shame…Eric frowned at Nicole’s reaction, slightly surprised. “Are you… Dissatisfied?”He raised his hand and looked at his expensive watch, wondering if it was too late to go to a hotel in the neighboring city that specializes in receiving the country’s special guests.Nicole paused slightly and stroked her hair. “It
Dominic’s expression gradually improved. She was looking for Eric.Well, the biggest boss here now was Eric, so Eric was a fatal attraction to these divorced female celebrities, right?Heh…It seems like he had been overthinking!Dominic smiled. “Shouldn’t you ask the front desk directly?”Sadie’s face was a little stiff. It seemed like she had already asked but failed.“I did, but they’re all tight-lipped and won’t tell me anything about Mr. Ferguson’s room, so I could only come to you.“Mr. Young, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stanton have no hope of getting back together. If a new couple emerges in our variety show, wouldn’t it become the hottest variety show of the year?Sadie carefully looked at Dominic’s expression. Which producer would not want their program to flourish?Sure enough, Dominic’s eyes brightened in an instant. His smile deepened, but he hesitated for three seconds before he spoke softly.“Mr. Ferguson has a special presidential suite here. It’s on the top floor!”
As soon as Nicole opened the door, she saw a talking Sadie in a sexy black nightgown that showed off her bare shoulders.Once the two ladies saw each other, they were both startled, especially Sadie, whose face turned pale. Even her delicate makeup could not hide her panic.After all, Sadie was trying to seduce Nicole’s ex-husband, so she felt a guilty conscience as if she was a mistress caught by the legal wife.Nicole regained her composure in an instant. She saw the way Sadie was dressed and knew what Sadie’s purpose was.She sized the actress up and down with a cold gaze that made Sadie feel like burrowing into the ground.“M-Ms. Stanton, I’m sorry… I didn’t know that you’re also here…”Nicole pursed her lips. Her smile was faint as she opened the door widely.“Eric Ferguson is not in this room. This is my room. Do you want to come in to take a look?”Sadie shook her head repeatedly and stepped back.She already felt so humiliated as if she was caught in flagrante delicto.
Charlotte said, “M-Ms. Stanton… You…”Nicole immediately explained, “Eric Ferguson is not in this room. This is my room! If you don't believe me, you can come in and see!”Charlotte lowered her gaze and collected her lost and nervous expression.She struggled to put on a smile. “No... No need, I…”Charlotte could not seem to think of any excuse for coming over to see a man while dressed like that.Moreover, that man was also Nicole’s ex-husband!Embarrassment and panic suddenly made Charlotte somewhat at a loss for words. Her fingers clasped the wine bottle tightly as she bit her lower lip. Her face was as red as an apple. This subtle tension felt unbearable to Charlotte.Nicole looked at Charlotte and thought that she should not be partial to Sadie, so she proposed thoughtfully.“I’ll help you contact Mr. Ferguson so that you can talk to him in person!”As an ex-wife, Nicole’s enthusiasm and generosity were truly admirable. Before Nicole could take out her phone, Charlott
Eric received Yvette’s phone call and rushed out the door, ignoring the fact that he had just finished showering and that water was still dripping from his head.He pressed the doorbell to Nicole’s room, but there was no response.He knocked on the door, but there was also no response.Yvette’s voice came through the phone, “Are you stupid?! If she could open the door, would I have called you? Go and get a spare card!”Eric was silent for a second. He decided to put up with Yvette Quimbey’s bad temper just this once for the sake of her concern for Nicole.In the next second, Eric took out the room card from his pocket.“Beep–”Nicole’s room door was opened.Eric was so fast that even Yvette was a little surprised.Yvette thought that Eric would go downstairs in a panic to get the room card from the reception, or at least call his men impatiently to send up the card. However, those scenarios did not occur.How strange!When Eric pushed the door open, he smelled the fragrance
