There was dead silence all around.
Nicole did not care if Eric's compliment was sincere.
Did she need him to tell her that she was beautiful?
However, for a split second, Eric's words did cause Nicole's heart to tremble slightly.
Her stance was still unstable. She was stunned for a moment and almost got sucked into Eric's sweet talk.
Fortunately, she reacted in time. 'This son of a b*tch can’t seduce me! I won't fall for it!'
Countless celebrity bigwigs could not help but secretly give Nicole a thumbs up when they heard her reply.
This was a classic snide remark from President Nicole.
A standard "thank you" could have answered this, but Nicole's answer was the best.
The next moment, the music started, and the awards ceremony began.
Nicole was arranged to present an award to Fabian. Thus, as soon as the nominations for the "Most Promising Newcomer” award were announced, Nicole prepared to go onstage.
There were usually two "Most Promising Newcomer" awards, one of which was Fabian's because he deserved it.
Fabian was unaware of all this until that moment.
The host was on stage, passionately introducing the nominees. The drumroll sounded and countless spotlights focused on the expressions of the nominees as they tried to capture their micro-expressions. The suspense was at its highest point.
"The winners of the "Most Promising Newcomer" awards are... Fabian and Mikayla!"
Loud applause instantly resounded in the hall.
Fabian stood up excitedly. A camera swept over to him. At that moment, the two seats next to him were empty.
Nicole straightened her dress below the stage and was just about to go up to present the award when someone behind her suddenly took her hand with a firm grip, leading her up.
She glanced to the side and stiffened slightly.
'Eric Ferguson?! Why is this guy haunting me?!'
The other guest of honor was supposed to be the director of the TV station, so how could there be a last-minute change?
