“Mr. Ferguson, I’d be an idiot if I didn’t know how to read cues. Since you’re not in the mood to help, then forget it. I won’t force you to. Anyway, I don’t believe that you’re the only one who knows George Quay. Haven’t you heard of a theory? Everyone is just six or fewer social connections away from each other.”
Nicole looked at Eric nonchalantly and was about to leave after she spoke.
Eric gritted his teeth and sighed.
“I really don’t know what to do with you…”
His voice was low, and he sounded helpless.
“You might as well ask me since you’d need to find at least five people to get to George, and he might not meet you either. But if you beg me, I can let you meet him right now.”
His voice had a deep pull as if he was drawing a huge net, trying to trap her in it.
Of course, Nicole was not that stupid.
Nicole immediately stopped. She brushed her hair aside and looked at him solemnly.
“I beg you.”
In the meantime, she even bowed with a begging attitude.
Eric froze slightly. He looked at her with complicated eyes and felt as if he just punched cotton. His heart felt stuffy.
He did not know what else to say.
How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
Eric coughed.
“Okay. Let’s go back and eat first. We can talk about this later.”
Nicole knew that Eric would not agree so quickly. She pursed her lips and turned around.
It was not that Nicole was afraid of trouble. It was because she did not want to delay this for too long.
It would be best if she could resolve this today. If it took too long, it would be detrimental to Jeff, who was in the laboratory.
Chance blinked and did not understand what the adults were talking about.
However, it was so rare to see so many complicated expressions on Eric’s face.
Thus, he sneaked a few glances.
When Chance saw that Nicole and Eric were coming back again, he quickly lowered his head and continued eating.
The waiter served the food and left.
Eric’s complexion improved slightly.
“How are you so sure that you can persuade George to help you? After all, his cancer doesn’t have a cure, and Sebastian is his only hope.”
Seeing that Nicole’s complexion was still glum because of what happened just now, he deliberately raised this topic to divert her attention.
Sure enough, Nicole paused and nodded.
“That’s because Sebastian isn’t the initiator of the real project, so he won’t be able to save George.”
Eric obviously looked tired. He hooked his lips and said, “But your friends can’t save George either, right?”
“At least George won’t be deceived, right?”
“How do you know if George didn’t willingly get deceived? The only person who can deceive him that there is a cure for cancer is Sebastian.”
“Mr. Ferguson, do you want to help or not?”
Nicole looked at him, puzzled. Why did he have to go against her again and again?
Eric raised his eyebrows and sighed.
“I’ll help you, but I have one condition.”
“I knew you wouldn’t help for nothing,” Nicole murmured in a muffled voice.
Eric squinted his eyes. He did not hear her clearly, but Chance, who was sitting next to her, could hear it clearly.
Chance glanced at Eric and wanted to say something, but he lowered his head again.
Chance thought, ‘Forget it. Daddy likes Auntie Nicole so much, but he still didn’t agree with her immediately. If I speak up, Daddy won’t agree at all. I don’t understand. If he likes her, shouldn’t he want to give her all the good things? Every time I see Chatty, I want to give her everything. Although I didn’t have any good things, at least Chatty didn’t look down on me when we met…”
Nicole looked at Eric, who was opposite her, seriously.
