Keith cried for a while before he realized that the call had long been disconnected.He was speechless.Eric hung up the phone and looked at Toto, who was concentrating on feeding the fish on the other side.“Go and inquire about what happened at that celebration that Nicole attended today.”Toto immediately put down what he was holding without a moment’s delay.“Yes, Mr. Ferguson!”Eric took his phone and found Nicole’s profile, then clicked into it. It was blank.‘Why didn’t she post anything yet?’ Eric thought.He simply privately messaged her.[Because I miss you so much, even the food I eat is in the shape of my love for you.]What sweet words.Eric had to prove to Nicole that he was no longer the cold and heartless Eric Ferguson of the past.Ten seconds…Thirty seconds...There was no reply.‘Could her phone be broken?’ He thought.One minute... Five minutes...There was still no reply.‘She’s probably asleep.’ Eric thought. He then typed out another message i
Eric was very resistant and intuitively knew that Nicole would not buy such acts.However, Toto confidently patted his chest and assured Eric. Eric looked down at his phone and sent another message, but he still saw the red exclamation next to his message.He had no other choice but to try other ways.Eric took the iPad with a glum face and took a glimpse. His eyes immediately burned.He threw it back.“No, I don’t even want to see it!”Eric stood up. He was the President of Ferguson Corporation and could give Nicole all the riches in the world and die for her.Why should he learn about these phrases? It was just tormenting his eyes.[I’ve never thought about someone so much. You’re the most special one out of all the girls I’ve ever met.][I have a million words I want to say to you, but when I see you, I only want to say, “I miss you”. Your boyfriend won’t mind if he hears this, will he?][I know you’re angry, but he won’t mind that I’m talking to you so late, right? We h
Eric looked at Toto with a grimace. ‘Does he think that I’m an idiot?’He gave up on the stew and walked out of the kitchen with a chill around him.Toto also did not know why he found such a non-progressive novel, but when he first read it, he thought it was pretty good.However, when he listened to the audiobook, he suddenly thought that the domineering president was so retarded.Toto hurriedly followed Eric and explained, “Mr. Ferguson, don’t get angry! After all, the person who wrote this novel isn’t a president like you, so he doesn’t know your brilliance and wisdom to take charge!”Eric’s eyebrows were indifferent. His eyes suddenly looked fierce as he yelled, “Get out!”“Okay, I’ll get lost… I’ll go find something normal…”Toto still wanted to try his best to salvage the situation.If Toto was not still useful, Eric would have chopped off Toto’s head by now.Eric returned to his room and calmed down.He took out his phone and tapped on Nicole’s chat box.Eric sent out
Subsequently, Logan learned of Eric’s arrival and received Eric at once.Eric was thick-skinned and stayed there. He did not go to the meeting room but sat at the door of the President’s Office, which attracted a lot of attention.He looked at the conference room not far away and saw Nicole sitting there through the glass panel. Her eyebrows were stunning, and her smile was charming.Eric was a little stunned for a moment.Her smile was not soft at all, but extremely powerful with a sharp edge. It made her subordinates tremble in fear.Eric suddenly felt enchanted. His heart trembled violently.He loved her gentleness and toughness, but also her wit and bravery.Eric should not just remember Nicole’s gentle compromise with him back then because that was not all of her.Those three years of marriage had worn away Nicole’s sharpness and covered up her brightness. Those years were probably her darkest times.At that moment, Eric seemed to understand how much Nicole had regretted
Nicole froze slightly. She then saw that Eric was walking over with a thermos flask.His slender fingers moved fluidly to pour out a bowl of stew and pushed it over.“Have a taste…”Nicole frowned and thought that Eric seemed a little off today.She could not tell what was wrong with him.Nicole looked at the stew. “Toto made stew so early in the morning?”Eric lowered his thick and lush eyelashes. His black eyes were sunken, and his voice was deep.“Mm…”Nicole did not feel like eating stew and did not touch it.“Besides me blocking you, do you have other things to talk about?”She implied that it was time for him to leave.Eric’s lips were pressed into a straight line. His eyes seemed to have ripples.“I intend to speed up J&L Corporation’s project. I poached a high-tech research team from Denmark. They’ll arrive next month. When the time comes, we’ll rearrange the project’s process.”Nicole was dumbfounded for a moment.A high-tech research team from Denmark was no lon
Nicole raised her eyes to look at Eric silently without making a sound.She suspected that Eric drugged it.Just in time, Logan came in with their coffee.“President, Mr. Ferguson, your coffee…”Without another word, Nicole picked up a cup and drank it in one gulp.Nicole felt the strong taste of coffee in her mouth. The salty-sweet mix in her mouth was explosive and intense. Her expression eased as she slowly put the coffee down. She was extremely elegant.Nicole looked at Eric’s slightly grim face and Logan’s furrowed brow.She smiled faintly and looked at Logan.“The coffee is good. I want another cup…”Logan’s keen gaze fell to the bowl of stew on the table and lingered for two seconds. He then fully understood.“Yes, President…”Once Logan left, Eric narrowed his eyes, picked up the coffee, and took a sip, slightly disdainful.Nicole took the tissue and gently wiped the corners of her mouth. She smiled politely.“The stew is not bad. Thanks.”Eric let out a long brea
Nicole finally raised her eyes and seriously sized up the bartender. ‘Is he trying to flirt with me? He’s pretty good-looking though, with beautiful features and seductive eyes. I gotta say, he’s quite attractive. No wonder he dares to be so blatant. I’m afraid that many young lady customers are drooling over his face.’Unfortunately, Nicole had seen too many good-looking guys and she did not like his type.She hooked her lips and said in a clear and light voice, “I don’t like this cocktail.”The bartender smiled frivolously. “So picky, huh?”It was not like he had never met a woman who did not pay for the bill, so he did not care.After all, the woman he hooked up with could spend hundreds of thousands here, so the boss could not wait to hold him up.Nicole smiled lazily. “Aren’t you too blindly confident to use a cup of cheap cocktail to pick up women?”The person opposite was stunned.The colorful lights flickered dimly in every corner.The bartender narrowed his eyes and s
As soon as Sean Moore said this, the others started to coax.Sean was their mainstay, and his words certainly carried great weight.“Ms. Quimbey, you don’t dare? Three contracts and a French kiss. No matter how you calculate, you have the advantage!”“That’s right, Ms. Quimbey! If you can charm Mr. Moore, even if you do end up losing, there may be a turnaround…”“Ms. Quimbey, if you don’t dare, you can even let your friend replace you.”Some people turned to look at Nicole.Nicole’s face was slightly sunken. Before Nicole could speak, Yvette got anxious.“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a game anyway!”Before Nicole had time to stop her, Yvette had already blurted out.Nicole pulled Yvette and explained in a whisper. “Sean Moore isn’t a simple guy. Let’s forget it. It’s okay if you can’t sign today.”Since they attended this gathering, it meant that they had a willingness to cooperate with the Quimbeys.Nicole looked at Sean, who had a specious smile on his face and
