Nicole rolled her eyes. She immediately understood that Dominic had been greedy and had pulled some strings in the middle.
She was the one who recommended Xander, and Eric should be here using his own means.
Nicole took a deep breath. There were many people here, so she could not make a fuss. Furthermore, the purpose of this whole thing was to support Livia, so she could only settle the scores later.
She held out her hand speechlessly and began to applaud.
Welcome.
Then, everyone started clapping with meaningful looks, becoming more and more enthusiastic.
The applause belonged only to Mr. Ferguson.
Eric looked at Nicole, who took the lead in clapping, and his eyes softened slightly. The chill on his face receded a little.
Finally, he walked in.
Dominic breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally passed the first hurdle.
Eric walked up to Nicole’s side, and the people around
very consciously gave way to him.
He stood in the center of the group and stood out conspicuously.
Strangely, it did not seem incongruous at all.
Nicole stood there, smiling expressionlessly, not caring at all.
Behind her, Xander had the good sense to go to the far corner.
He did not dare to provoke Eric.
The beating he received that day was enough to make him wary for the rest of his life.
After the general rules were introduced, everyone went outdoors and started to play a few games to break the ice.
Nicole lazily walked behind, and Livia followed beside her.
The remaining three actresses all gathered around, trying to attract Eric's attention.
Yuliana said, "Mr. Ferguson, it's the first time I'm meeting you. You look even more handsome and dashing than in magazines and on TV..."
Sadie echoed, "Yeah! Mr. Ferguson, why did you suddenly come to the show? It was such a shocker because the director didn't tell us either. What a surprise..."
Charlotte chimed in. "Yeah. With Mr. Ferguson here,
our ratings will definitely hit a new high."
