Eric had too much to drink, so he did not hear Mitchell’s soft response.
Eric nodded and reassured himself.
“Yeah, she will.”
Mitchell did not continue to speak.
After all, Mitchell also had a girlfriend. When he first got together with his girlfriend, he stepped on all kinds of landmines. That was how he learned what annoyed women.
However, with Eric’s status, no women dared to throw a tantrum at him, so Eric did not understand women’s thoughts because he had too little experience.
“By the way, you can set the budget for the donation of resources in the name of Ferguson Corporation. I have to stay with Nicole for the time being, so I can’t leave at this time.”
Mitchell twitched his lips.
He knew that he could not persuade Eric at this moment, so he could only oblige.
“Okay. What about $10 million? We can use our company’s annual charity fund to pay for it. By the way, is Ms. Stanton staying there by herself? No one from the Stanton family is there?”
Eric rubbed the space between his brows.
“There’s tight control on traffic now, so they can’t get in today. They’ll probably get here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”
Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief.
“Okay, then take care of your health. I wish you all the best.”
If the Stanton family went over, Eric would not be allowed to stay by Nicole’s side the entire time.
Only distance could make the heart grow fonder.
It was a pity that Eric did not understand this truth.
Eric hung up the phone and felt less irritable.
He opened the drawer and took out a new phone.
After finishing the wine in his glass, he went to Nicole’s room with the new phone.
The maid went over to open the door.
“Mr. Ferguson, I’ve changed Ms. Stanton’s clothes. She has been in a deep sleep and hasn’t woken up yet.”
Eric nodded and stepped aside.
“Go and rest. Cook some oatmeal for her in the morning. Also, do you know what kind of nutritious meals children like to eat?”
“Yes, sir.”
The maid immediately responded and left.
How could she not see that her boss was interested in Ms. Stanton?
The maid did not expect that Eric was still so persistent when Nicole already had children.
Eric sure was a unique domineering president!
He sat on the chair next to Nicole and watched her for a long time. Even if he could not see her face clearly in the dark, he was reluctant to leave.
She was so quiet and so close to him. He had envisioned this for several years and finally found an opportunity.
Eric put the new phone on her bedside table.
The room was dead silent.
…...
Stanton Corporation.
The members of the Stanton family panicked when they saw the wretched-looking assistants and Fischer.
Grant heard the assistants’ description and instantly looked glum.
However, this time was different from the past. This was a natural disaster, not a man-made accident.
He could not cover it up even if he wanted to.
When he went online, every article was about the earthquake.
Not long after, Floyd called.
It seemed that his father, who had always paid attention to national affairs, also found out about this news.
Grant picked up the call helplessly.
“What’s going on? Isn’t your sister in the earthquake zone? Did she really go there? Have you gotten in touch with her? Any news from them?”
Floyd asked anxiously.
Grant replied, “I just found out about this. The news of the earthquake came a few hours later than what happened in real life. Fischer and the others have already been sent back. I heard that Eric Ferguson was there, and he took Nicole away when she fainted.”
Floyd breathed a sigh of relief and clutched his chest.
