The butler took the tools from Floyd and Eric when they walked in.
Eric stood up straight. He wore black pants and a casual white shirt that revealed his neckline. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his collarbone was rigid and beautiful. He looked so casual, noble, and refined.
He watched Nicole walk down the stairs. His eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"Nicole, what a coincidence!"
'We're so destined to meet!’ Eric thought.
Nicole stiffened and smiled reluctantly.
"This is my house, so obviously I’ll be here..."
Floyd washed his hands and came out. "Mr. Ferguson, you should stay for dinner. We’ve caught so many fish, so I can't let you make this trip for nothing."
Eric nodded slightly. His demeanor was decent.
"Then, sorry for the trouble."
Eric prayed for this opportunity.
Nicole speechlessly turned around and went to the other side. She poured herself a cup of water.
Eric quietly approached. Nicole could smell a faint jasmine fragrance on him, which was the smell of the flowers planted by Floyd in the backyard. It was natural, light, and elegant.
"I'm thirsty too..." His voice was low, magnetic, and raspy.
Nicole paused for a moment. The next second, a well-defined hand reached over and grabbed her cup. Her hands were suddenly empty.
Eric drank it all in one go and put it down as if nothing had happened. He did not feel that his behavior was extremely inappropriate.
Suddenly, Kai came over from not far away.
"Why can't you two drink properly? Why are you using my cup?!"
Kai was furious. He saw it all!
Eric was speechless and wanted to spit out the water.
Nicole paused and was silent for a moment. "K, I purposely poured water for you. Don't you feel touched?"
Kai’s gaze was extremely cold as he sized up the two o f them.
"Hmph!" He then took his cup and left.
This cup was a matching pair with Julie's.
That was why Kai could not bear to throw it away. He blamed Eric for tainting his cup.
