Mrs. Ferguson Was Not Very Useful
The possessiveness in Eric’s bones was surging the whole time.
When Eric heard that Ian would invite Nicole, Eric came to try his luck.
Unexpectedly, Nicole was really standing in front of him.
“I was on a business trip abroad some time ago and asked someone to bring you a gift. Why didn’t you
accept it?”
Eric suppressed his overwhelming emotions.
He had carefully selected those gifts according to Nicole’s favorite style.
How could she not like them?
Nicole forced a smile and said in a polite and cold voice, “How can I just accept gifts from you for no
reason? It’s not appropriate.”
One sentence put a clear boundary between them.
Eric’s expression changed a few times. His eyes sank slightly.
“Was Clayton’s son rescued?”
Nicole nodded. “Fortunately, he’s okay.”
Eric noticed that Nicole did not have a hint of gratitude. Perhaps she was suspecting that Eric and Isaac
Sloan had a private deal.
Eric’s face sank even more.
“The Sloan family’s background is complicated. Don’t take it too lightly.”
Nicole smiled. “Thanks for the reminder.”
Eric felt short of breath for a moment when suddenly, a not very familiar person trotted
over next to him.
“Mr. Ferguson? It’s been a long time! Isn’t this Mrs. Ferguson? Did you come here together to attend Mr.
Sheldon’s party?”
That person used to work in Atlanta, but the competition was fierce here, so he left defeated and
followed a rich woman abroad.
He had some dealings with Eric back then, so naturally, he had seen this Mrs. Ferguson who was not
favored by Eric.
Nicole frowned slightly as she looked at this stranger with an unexpected expression.
Eric frowned and looked at this person who appeared out of nowhere.
“You are…”
“Mr. Ferguson, we met three years ago. At that time, I went to your office to submit the project proposal
and was waiting for you in the lounge. Mrs. Ferguson was also waiting there, so we talked for a bit. Later,
you personally came over to get me to leave the project proposal with you. Do you still remember?”
At that time, that man wondered why Eric’s wife would wait in line to see Eric.
Thus, the man had a deep impression of Nicole. He even wanted her to help put in a few good words to
Eric, but later, the project proposal was rejected. That was when he knew that Mrs. Ferguson was not
very useful.
Eric obviously did not expect this. His face was profound, and there was no trace of surprise or panic on
his face.
His expression only changed when he heard that Nicole was also waiting for him in the lounge. 1
There would be no more of that kind of scenario in the future.
When Nicole heard the man mention this, she did remember that there was such an incident.
