There was a gloomy chill in the air.
Nicole did not know why Eric was here, but she did not have time to think about it. She smiled as she walked over and extended her hand to exchange pleasantries.
"Mr. Lewis, sorry for the long wait..."
The slightly chubby Mr. Lewis smiled and shook her hand. "I've also just arrived. Ms. Stanton, you're really more beautiful than celebrities. No wonder the netizens are asking you to make your debut in showbiz!”
Nicole laughed. "You’re kidding. How can I compare with celebrities? I'm just a conscientious worker bee."
Mr. Lewis did not expect Nicole to be so down-to-earth. The atmosphere was easy-going.
He turned his head to ask, "Mr. Ferguson, don’t you think that Ms. Stanton is much prettier than celebrities? Her temperament can completely win over those women in a second."
Eric’s voice was low and raspy. "Yeah, you’re right."
Mr. Lewis laughed and turned around. "Mr. Ferguson asked me to meet in advance, but my secretary didn't arrange the time properly. I thought that since you all know each other, it's better to combine the sessions. M
s. Stanton, you won’t mind, right?"
Eric walked over through the darkness. His upright body was clad in black, and his eyes had an indescribable light.
It was really hard to ignore his presence.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Of course I won't mind."
In her heart, she wanted to shout, "Yes, I mind! I don't want him here!"
Eric curled his lips and extended his hand. "Ms. Stanton, it's been a long time."
Since they had not seen each other since that day after the New Year's greeting, Eric felt like it had really been a very long time.
This kind of longing that was felt deep in his bones was so profound that it was hard to ignore.
Fortunately, when he could hardly stand it, she appeared.
Nicole looked at him with feigned seriousness as she politely extended her hand as well. In fact, she was cursing him a million times in her heart.
"Mr. Ferguson, long time no see."
'Is this an act?' Nicole drew back her hand without hesitation and smiled at Mr. Lewis. "After you..."
Everyone walked in together. Before dinner, Mr. Lewis proposed to play some poker first.
