The air was stagnant for a moment.
Eric knew that he was pushing his luck, but if he did not try, how would he know if it was possible?
Nicole paused for a moment. She looked at him with her hand propping up her chin. The corners of her lips curled up in a pretty arc.
However, her voice was rational and indifferent as she spoke with a vague smile.
"Did you break your arm too?"
Her smile did not reach her eyes, yet it was impossible to hate her.
Eric saw that Nicole was not angry, so his smile deepened. He immediately smiled self-deprecatingly.
His voice was low and regretful.
"Are you abandoning me so soon? Can’t you even do this for me?"
Nicole’s eyebrows twitched slightly. 'What the hell was wrong with him? If he wasn't injured, I'd just drop him like a hot potato! Why should I stay here and watch him put on a show? His acting is horrendous!'
She turned away and exhaled heavily. 'Don't get angry ... Just bear with it!'
In the next second, Luca stepped forward and picked u p the bowl of soup in front of Eric.
"Mr. Ferguson, let me..."
Luca held up the spoon in front of Eric's mouth. His face looked so ferocious, but his actions were a stark contrast.
He was feeding Eric like a baby.
Luca even opened his mouth wide and let out an "ahh” as if he was teaching a toddler to eat.
For a moment, the dining room was silent.
Nicole could not help but burst out into laughter.
Eric's face also stiffened and became unpleasant.
However, Luca was Nicole's bodyguard, so he did not care about what Eric thought of him.
In less than two seconds, Eric's mouth twitched. He reached out to take the bowl from the bodyguard's hand. His voice was deep and cold.
"My arm isn't broken. I'll eat by myself."
Luca very sensibly retreated behind Nicole and stood there like a fierce statue.
Eric was much more well-behaved after that episode and finished his meal very calmly with his head bowed.
Nicole looked at some urgent emails Logan sent to her and replied to them on her phone.
