The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 224

Nicole turned to look at Maverick, who was speaking o n the phone.

Looking at Nicole's warm gaze that was directed at Maverick, Eric instantly exuded a chilly aura.

The people behind him did not know Maverick, but Eric knew about his identity.

Maverick was the youngest person who had won the Breakthrough Prize. This record had not been broken thus far.

Under his alias, Sunner, Maverick even solved the most difficult problem in Gerard Lichman's project with ease.

Eric had not seen Maverick for a while and did not expect him to appear next to Nicole at this moment.

It was very irksome to watch them together.

Eric stared at Nicole with his dark eyes. His temperament was awe-inspiring and noble as he stood there looking so high and mighty.

However, Nicole did not care about his presence.

Since they had already negotiated their terms, they did not owe each other anymore.

Maverick hung up the phone and walked up to Nicole with a frown on his handsome and refined face.

He lowered his head and spoke to Nicole in a gentle and coaxing voice. "There’s a problem at the lab, so I have to go back and can’t play with you anymore."

Nicole instantly frowned and threw a tantrum.

She was pouting and whining.

"You said you'd stay with me all day! Why aren't you keeping your promise again?"

Maverick was not the slightest bit annoyed or impatient with her.

He patiently explained the situation and tried to appease her.

"The research has reached a critical stage and can’t be delayed. Why don't I send you back first? Do you wanna go home or to your office?"

Nicole helplessly glared at him. She was already annoyed by Eric's presence next to her and did not want to say too much.

She just threw the club in her hand to the side and left in a huff.

Maverick calmly and gently picked up the club and quickly chased after her while he patiently coaxed her.

From behind, they looked like a couple in a quarrel.

The two of them could feel the cold, piercing gaze staring at them closely behind them, but none of them turned around.

The people behind Eric stepped forward.

They clearly recognized that the woman earlier was the famous Nicole Stanton, Eric Ferguson's ex-wife.

However, she seemed to be having fun with another man.

Even so, none of them dared to joke about this as they could not afford the consequences of Eric’s wrath.

The people next to Eric were apprehensive.

They had finally managed to get an appointment with Eric Ferguson to play golf and did not expect to run into such a scene.

It was too late to regret choosing this place!

Just when someone was about to divert Eric’s attention, Eric suddenly turned around.

His face was sullen, and he spoke in a non-negotiable tone.

"I'm busy today. Everyone can go back. We'll meet again another day."

After that, Eric left with big strides.

Somehow, he went in the direction Nicole left in.

The two people were right in front of him, so he was just about to call out to Nicole when a woman suddenly sprang up in front of him. She was wearing big brand names from head to toe and decked out in jewelry. The woman twisted her foot and fell towards

Eric.
