The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 81

The sky gradually dimmed into a dark blue hue. The gloomy sky accompanied by the evening chill felt quite disconcerting.

Nicole saw that it was almost time, so she went to the dressing room in her office where she had the latest collections of her favorite brands always available. She picked out a decent knee-length low-key luxury dress to change into, then paired it with a limited edition bag and beautiful stilettos.

When Nicole arrived at the clubhouse, no one recognized her. Everyone was just chatting with the people they knew well. There was no theme to this gathering and looked like it was purely for these high-society ladies to pass the time.

Nicole took a plate of hors d'oeuvres and ate it slowly. She sat in a corner and looked around. ‘There’s no sign of Samantha Lindt anywhere. Is she not coming?’

"Nicole?" The person in front of her looked at her in surprise.

Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Carter? Why are you here?"

“We’re truly destined to be together! It’s fate that brought us here at this moment..." Ian raised an eyebrow.

Nicole threw a sidelong glance at him. "Can you be serious for once?" "My mother wanted some pastries from the clubhouse and sent me out to get them." Ian helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

Nicole smiled and thought, 'Mrs. Carter is quite the foodie.'

"What about you?"

"I uh... I just came to have some fun, but turns out the ' fun' didn't show up..." Nicole smiled. She looked at the time and stood up, but Ian pulled her wrist.

"Where are you going?"

Nicole looked at him helplessly. "I’m going to the bathroom, then I'll leave in a moment."

Ian let go of her hand and naturally did not want to give up such a good opportunity to spend time with Nicole. "I'll wait for you and send you home later."

"I drove here."

"Then you can take me home!"

After leaving the banquet hall, the corridor was relatively quiet. Quite a few people were talking there. When Nicole walked around the corner, she heard someone mention her name.
