Nicole's cold attitude did not cause the slightest dissatisfaction in Eric. Instead, his eyes were so gentle and warm as he stared at her.
"No, I'm just asking. It’s fine if you don't tell me."
Anyway, Eric had plenty of ways to find out.
Eugene Lacroix, who was standing next to Nicole, coughed slightly. "Ms. Stanton, your friend?"
"No." Nicole immediately denied it.
“Since we’ve settled the issue, would you like to stay back for a few days before leaving?" Eugene suggested.
Eric's gaze turned a few degrees colder. His eyes that were glaring at Eugene carried an indescribable chill.
Nicole frowned and shook her head.
"Next time. I still have some urgent matters to deal with back home."
"That’s too bad... Have a safe trip home then."
Eugene extended his hand politely. Nicole smiled and shook hands with him before she turned to leave.
Eric followed her with big strides.
The two of them looked perfect when they stood together. They could be the center of attention wherever they went!
On the plane.
Eric was insistent on following Nicole, who ignored him the entire time.
He boarded the Stanton family's private jet.
"I went to look for you last night, right? Did I scare you?"
Nicole snorted coldly. "Sorry, I didn’t see you."
Eric paused for a moment. His voice was faintly strained.
"No one was with me the entire time? But my waist hurts a little, and there's a footprint on my clothes..."
Nicole pursed her lips. A trace of guilt flashed across her eyes.
Eric was a little surprised that Nicole was so tolerant o f him today.
He even felt flattered!
Nicole could not stand Eric's gaze on her and could not help but speak.
"Mr. Ferguson, what are you doing here?"
She finally asked him for his purpose.
Eric paused slightly. All those reasons that he had prepared in his mind were stuck.
His voice was faint, magnetic, and raspy.
