The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 212

Eric's face was taut. After a moment, he nodded his head in agreement. "Okay."

He unconditionally agreed with the compensation she asked for although dealing with it might be a bit troublesome.

However, Eric finally felt relieved. ‘She’s willing to accept my compensation, so does that mean our relationship is still salvageable?'

Nicole was not surprised by his agreement.

At that moment, she stood up and walked behind her desk.

"I'll have someone work out the details with Ferguson Corporation. Let’s keep this cooperation private and confidential for now..."

Eric had the same thoughts. After all, the project had just started, so it was not appropriate to be too high-profile.

Looking at Nicole's actions, she was probably about to send him out the next second.

Since things between them had just started to ease up, it was better to avoid any unpleasant arguments.

Eric stood up after some thought. "Then... I'll head back

Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes were affixed to an adult-height bronze tree sculpture behind Nicole.

His face instantly stiffened.

If he was not mistaken, this bronze tree was designed by a famous sculptor from Sweden that had a modern twist on Central European ornamental sculpture.

It was a unique design in the world, so naturally, it was very expensive.

However, what shocked him most was not the tree.

The branches stuck out diagonally. There was a bright refracted light coming from one of the branches near the window.

It was a diamond that was attached to a ring.

It was his lost wedding ring!

Eric’s breathing stopped for a moment.

His face was tense and extremely shocked.

That thing that he felt great remorse after losing appeared here?

Nicole saw that Eric had not left yet and raised her head insouciantly.

"Mr. Ferguson, since we’re done talking...”

Nicole frowned slightly when she saw the expression o n his face.

Eric took a few steps forward and stood in front of her. The corners of his lips trembled slightly.

The oppressive feeling in his chest at that moment made him feel so lost and heavy like he was falling into an abyss.

His eyes were deep and dark as he stared at Nicole.

Nicole's subconscious reaction of resistance, doubt, and disgust made his eyes sink slightly.

He stood in front of her and reached out to touch the pair of rings that were hanging on the branches of the bronze tree.

Nicole noticed his movement. Her face instantly became cold and sullen.
