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
Eric gently held Nicole’s fidgeting hands and kept calling out to her.“Nicole... Honey... Baby…”Nicole frowned in annoyance at the annoying fly that was buzzing around her head. That noise was simply killing her.‘I just wanna sleep! Even Tigger knows not to disturb my sleep. Why is this stupid fly hovering around me shamelessly?’Nicole had a bad temper when she was woken up involuntarily.She could not stand it any longer and used all her might to lift her heavy eyelids.In a daze, Nicole saw the handsome and perfect features that looked somewhat familiar.‘Who is it? Eric Ferguson? Or Xander?’Nicole’s mind was muddled as she listened to the man’s intermittent voice like he was chanting some sort of spell. She was extremely annoyed.Suddenly, she raised her hand and scratched him, signaling him to shut up.Sure enough, the man was obediently shut up after he was scratched.Eric’s face sank as his eyes were locked on her. ‘She has such a bad temper when she’s drunk? She
Nicole touched the face that looked very similar to Eric’s, which was near perfection.After frivolously caressing the man’s face, she patted his cheek a few times.‘Not bad… This face will be able to sell for a good price! I won’t go back on my word. Xander’s just an actor anyway, so I can make him famous!’Nicole did not notice that her words caused an adverse reaction in the man next to her. His eyes instantly turned gloomy. His face was sunken, and he was surrounded by a dense chill.Eric stared at her coldly and reached out to pinch her chin, trying to make her face him.His voice was extremely gentle, like the devil’s coaxing words.“Nicole, take another look. Who am I?”His voice was frosty.Even if he was willing to be humble for her, it did not mean that he would tolerate another man in her life.Eric felt guilty, so he compromised, made concessions, supported her, coaxed her, and let her do whatever she wanted.However, the cold ruthlessness ingrained in his bones f
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.Eric’s footsteps were heavy, and his face was cold as he went over to open the door.Mitchell, who was at the door, held the toxicology report of the wine they sent for testing. He handed it to Eric while he explained.“President, the test results are out. Although there are no large doses of hazardous drugs in the wine, there is a slight hallucinogenic agent added to it. The alcohol content is also very high at 51% ABV.”Mitchell was so nervous when he was at the lab urging the staff to work overtime.If they could not get the results, no one would be able to be at ease.When Mitchell found out that there were hallucinogens in the wine, he became alert and came over to report to Eric immediately.Mitchell endured his exhaustion as he looked at Eric.Eric took over the report and glanced at it. His face grew colder and gloomier as ruthlessness and darkness flashed in his eyes.His tone was cold without a trace of temperature.“Find
How could Eric let go of someone who wanted to harm Nicole?Nicole was Eric’s life.Charlotte was scared out of her wits. The legendary high and mighty Eric Ferguson was now standing in front of her, looking so cold and gloomy like he wanted her life!Eric was standing so close to her, but she felt a deadly chill. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she was drenched in a cold sweat.Charlotte was so delusional earlier. She was caught and brought here in less than an hour. It was ridiculous!Her tears streamed down her face continuously while her body convulsed as she sobbed.“Mr. Ferguson, I was wrong… I can quit showbiz and I will never show up here again. Please spare me…”Eric stepped forward and looked at her from a high position.The man’s eyes were a little crazed, so Charlotte felt frightened.His voice was cold and deep. “No one can hurt her. No one!”The temperature in the room dropped abruptly.Eric’s attitude was morose and harsh. “So, I won’t spare you so easil
When the sunlight lazily crept up the window and shone on Nicole’s face through the gap in the curtain, it created dark shadows on the curtains which cascaded onto the ground.Nicole’s hungover head was still a little groggy and not quite awake.She lazily opened her eyes, rubbed them, and quickly adapted to the bright, wavering sunlight.It was a bright morning, and the room was warm.However, Nicole stiffened and widened her eyes.‘I had too much to drink, and then what? I don’t remember anything… It looks like that wine is pretty strong. I’ve always been a good drinker, but I got myself drunk?’When she looked down, she saw that her clothes were still the same as last night’s, just a little messy.At that moment, Nicole was relieved. ‘I guess I can still feel my way back to bed even after drinking too much last night!’Thinking that, she went to freshen up and took a shower with a muddled mind.Half an hour later.Nicole came out.Her phone suddenly rang.She walked over
Charlotte knelt on the ground. Her body was shaking violently as she pleaded.“Ms. Stanton, I’m sorry… I was wrong… I deserve the worst, but please spare my life…”Nicole stood there feeling strange.Upon closer look, Nicole recognized that the woman in front of her was Charlotte, the meek woman she had just met last night.‘What’s going on here?’ Nicole raised her eyes and looked at Eric.Eric sat there, shrouded in a dense chill.His eyes were as cold as if they were submerged in ice, which even lowered the temperature of the room. His fingers tapped the sofa on his side. His voice was frigid.“Charlotte, tell Ms. Stanton what kind of seasoning you added to your wine.”One sentence froze the air in the room.Nicole’s face changed. Her gaze instantly sank coldly.“Seasoning?”Nicole took a deep breath, holding back her tendency to burst into rage.“What do you mean? You spiked the wine that you gave me last night?”Charlotte was too frightened to speak and kept crying bre
Nicole was silent for a second. Her voice was extremely cold. “Kick her out of showbiz.”Eric raised his eyebrows. ‘Isn’t this already expected? What a kind-hearted woman!’Before Charlotte could breathe a sigh of relief, Eric instructed a bodyguard, “Take her away.”“Yes, sir.”Eric stroked his defined brow bone.“Also, there seems to be a lack of education development in certain parts of Africa. Charlotte can volunteer to teach there to make up for her sins. She doesn’t need to come back again.”Charlotte’s face turned pale as she prostrated herself on the ground. She felt like her bones were removed from her body because she could not hold herself up.This meant that she would not only disappear from Mediania, but she would also disappear from the world at any time.Eric was really too crazy...The bodyguards did not give Charlotte a chance to beg for mercy and dragged her away by her arms.Although Nicole felt that this punishment was a little too heavy, Eric only did thi
