The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1302

Nicole's casual tone gave Eric an illusion.

That illusion was that their relationship had eased.

Eric took it with a smile. "Of course not."

He helped her so much, so Nicole would not use numbers on a check to measure his help.

Eric knew that very well.

He only needed a chance to get closer to her.

Nicole stood on a step to be at eye-level with him.

Since she was staying at home all the time, Nicole changed into more casual attire and looked slightly gentler.

She hugged her arms and looked at him.

"That's a thank-you gift. I'm someone that distinguishes my gratitude and grievances clearly. Your people helped me contact several major shareholders of Sloan Corporation and made them willingly sell their shares to me secretly. I accepted this favor, but I can't accept it for nothing. This is a thank-you gift that you need the most. Accept it."

Nicole smiled and continued, "I have a video conference in two minutes, so I'll go upstairs and get ready. Help yourself."

She was not being impolite. She just really did not want to see Eric’s affectionate eyes.

It was really awkward.

Since Nicole did not plan to start over with Eric, she would not give him a single chance.

Then, she stepped on her slippers and went upstairs.

Eric's expression faintly darkened. He pursed his lips.

His throat instantly tightened.

Watching her go upstairs, Eric wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth.

It was too early now.

It was not a good time.

Eric looked at the envelope in front of him and opened it up.

A land transfer agreement came into view.

His face stiffened as his gaze swept across it.
