The corners of Mitchell's lips twitched as he looked at Eric.
Mitchell was tempted to say, "President, you’re thinking too much! According to my understanding of Ms. Stanton, she's willing to spend money to solve her problems.'
He opened his mouth, but in the end, he swallowed those words.
'Forget it, everything he says is right!’ Mitchell thought.
At that time, Mitchell's phone chimed. It was the general manager of the mall in the neighboring city who happened to be Mitchell’s ex-classmate. He sent a message to Mitchell asking for help.
[Help me! Look what I've encountered...]
The mall manager sent over two photos and a video.
One of the photos was signed with Nicole’s name and her bank account number. The other was a photo of Nicole and another man's back.
The video was an over ten-second clip of them playing the piano.
[She... She wouldn't be THE Nicole Stanton that our president couldn’t get, right? She and the other man won the couple jackpot worth $50 million! My performance just got swept down the drain...]
Mitchell's heart sank as if a giant object fell to the ground. The man next to Nicole was Clayton Sloan.
He raised his eyes to look at Eric, who was standing there, and felt a moment of trepidation and panic.
'It’s over...'
Eric’s phone also chimed at that moment.
Some people posted the photo of Atlanta's cityscape with the conspicuous words of gratitude to their social media, while some just sent it to Eric personally.
[What’s the situation? Eerg, did you do this using Nicole's name?]
Eric replied. [Haha...]
[Congratulations! You’re both a natural pair!]
Eric replied. [Thank you.]
[We didn’t misunderstand the words, right? That statement isn’t a threat, but gratitude?]
Eric replied. [Literal meaning.]
He was not as indifferent as usual and actually replied to every comment and message with great patience.
Keith called Eric. His voice was low and despondent a s he said, ’’Eerg, how did you do it? Nicole even thanked you so openly! Are you two back together?"
Eric was silent for a moment as he said, "Loon."
Keith sighed. "How’d you do it? Teach me! My wife... N
o, my ex-wife... She blocked me completely!”
