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 aspy. “Yeali, you’re riglil.”
Mr. Lewis laughed and turned around. “Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFerguson 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. Ms. 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 inind.”
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.
Nicole had no objection and told Logan to make the arrangements.
Mr. Lewis, Nicole, Eric, and Jacob played four player poker.
To get Jacob and Mr. Lewis acquainted as soon as possible, Nicole kept folding, so that they could win
happily. That way, their relationship would naturally be closer
III
Eric was sitting on the side with a smile on his face His eyes were deep and dark, and no one could tell
what he was thinking.
He was cooperative and lost several games. Nicole even doubted that Eric could not play poker in the
first place.
Toward the end, Mr. Lewis was elated because he won more rounds than he lost. Jacob was also all
smiles.
Later, Mr. Lewis and Jacob began to get familiar with each other, so much so that they called each
other” bro”. Before drinking, they already seemed to be a little tipsy.
Nicole saw that they were in the right mood and proposed dinner. Everyone readily agreed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Lewis and Jacob walked in front.
Nicole and Eric unconsciously fell behind.
Nicole and Eric unconsciously fell behind.
Eric had a light tobacco scent that was not too overwhelming because it probably stuck on his clothes.
It was mixed with a tea fragrance, which gave it a warn and subdued after tone.
Nicole had a momentary lapse of concentration and did not notice the steps in front of her.
Suddenly, she inissed a step.
She knew that she was about to fall and give the ground an intimate embrace. If so, she could no
longer maintain her indifference and could only close her eyes in resignation. Suddenly, another arm
wrapped around her waist. She was pulled into Eric’s embrace.
Nicole smelled Eric’s warm and rich tea fragrance and froze for a moment.
His grip on her waist was powerful. Eric did not take the initiative to approach Nicole the whole night,
but once he reached out, it seemed to have broken the transparent barrier between the two people.
Some unspoken things could no longer be concealed.
After being in a daze for a few seconds, Eric’s magnetic and deep voice rang in Nicole’s ears.
“Why are you so careless?” His caring tone made Nicole’s body slightly tense.
“Could it be that you deliberately want me to hug
you?”
