Chapter 707 Duplicitous Woman
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.
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. 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.
Mr. Lewis and Jacob walked in front.
