Eric sat there feeling relaxed. His posture was somewhat carefree. "What do you plan to do next? When will you go back?"
Nicole smiled meaningfully. "Soon. If it goes well, I can go back tomorrow morning."
If everything went smoothly, Hector Leach and Lincoln Zelman would be arrested. Then, she could return to her office and get Jacob Cook to stay back to handle the acquisition.
Eric thought that he had talked some sense into her. His face turned gentle.
"Don’t worry. It's good that you’ve made it this far for your first try."
Next, it was time for him to deal with Mr. Lewis.
Eric was not bothered to negotiate with Lincoln Zelman.
To test Lincoln Zelman's bottom line, they must exert pressure on him. This pressure must come from Mr. Lewis.
The best way to deal with a rogue was to be more roguish than him.
Eric was unlikely to pay Lincoln Zelman a lump sum. He wanted to change the situation drastically and had already arranged for everything.
At this thought, Eric's phone suddenly rang.
It was Mr. Lewis.
Eric glanced at Nicole, who did not seem to care.
Thus, Eric did not avoid her and picked up the call in front of her.
Hearing what Mr. Lewis said, Eric was first shocked. H e then raised his eyes to look at Nicole. His eyes gradually became dark and deep.
In the end, Eric said a few pleasantries with a calm face and hung up the phone.
Nicole could roughly tell from Eric's reaction what Mr. Lewis said.
She won this game.
There was silence for three seconds.
Eric opened his mouth and suddenly let out a light laugh. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice," Nicole, you always manage to surprise me!”
It was surprising enough that she could win against him while he was not paying attention.
Nicole sat there smiling and spoke slowly, "Are you sure it’s not a shock?"
Eric’s attitude was a bit unexpected. He was not furious, nor was he pretending to be generous.
He looked normal.
Eric pondered for a while. "Do you know what Mr. Lewis said?"
"I can guess." Nicole was frank.
