Grant knew that Nicole must have wanted to take this opportunity to bleed Eric dry.
He looked at Eric and said in a flat voice, "Mr.
Ferguson, I'll transfer you the money later."
Nicole was stunned.
Eric's eyebrows tightened. "No need, since it's an event, it should be impartial.”
Grant frowned and wanted to say that Nicole and Clayton were not a couple, so they did not qualify.
However, Eric lowered his eyes and let out a low chuckle.
His voice was deep. "What's more, I should waive her bills."
Eric prayed for this opportunity.
Nicole and Grant were speechless.
At that moment, Logan came in with a tray of dishes that were all according to the three bosses' tastes.
Midway through the meal, Nicole received an urgent phone call and left the table.
Eric and Grant were left in the room, staring at each other. They barely had an appetite facing each other, but out of courtesy, no one proposed to end the meal and they both insisted on finishing their food. They were both courteous, easy-going, and cordial.
Grant asked, "Mr. Ferguson, you seem to have something against Mr. Sloan?”
Eric wiped his mouth slowly, moving in a very refined manner.
"There are always some flies around Nicole that have bad intentions, so I have to watch out for her."
'When necessary, kill them!' Eric thought.
Grant could not help but laugh. 'He’s straightforward.'
"My sister is beautiful, rich, and has a good personality, so naturally, many people are chasing her!"
Grant was very proud of his sister and brought it up.
Eric’s eyes sank. The corners of his lips hooked up into a cold arc.
"Yes, I have to stand guard over her.”
Grant’s smile stiffened. 'He wants to stand guard over Nicole? Until every suitor runs away?'
"Right. After all, both our companies have reached an unprecedented level of cooperation. We should all look out for each other.”
