She’s on the Roll
Eric raised his eyebrows. “I’m going to look here too.” He pretended to open a cabinet. Nicole glared at
him, ignored him, and continued to flip through the things.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Eric saw a small, inconspicuous box on top of the cabinet. Nicole tiptoed
and was just about to reach it.
Just before she could hold it steady, the box fell. It was too late to dodge. Nicole saw that it was about to
smash on her forehead and closed her eyes tightly. Her heart sank.
‘Ugh! What bad luck!’ However, the expected pain did not happen. Instead, a large, slightly cool hand
with a faint scent of cologne covered her head and blocked her eyes.
Nicole could feel the dull thud of the box falling and hitting the back of Eric’s hand, but he did not flinch.
At that moment, her heart felt like it had been hit by that box and fluttered slightly.
Eric removed his hand. His voice was magnetic and mellow. “Luckily it didn’t hit you…” ) He handed the
box in his hand to her. “I don’t think they’ll hide it in such an obvious place.
You wanna take a look?” Nicole glanced at him and faintly withdrew her gaze. She opened that box and
sure enough, it was empty.
She was not that disappointed and casually threw the box on the table at the side, then continued to look
around, Nicole did not thank Eric and acted like that little episode just now did not exist.
However, when Eric continued to follow her, she did not scold him again. The second floor was
somewhat gloomy, but the light outside through the broken windows was just enough to light up Nicole’s
body.
Her eyes were crystal clear. The curvature of her side profile was smooth, and her red lips were vibrant.
Just her side profile was enough to stun the crowd.
She was the kind of effortless beauty that had a non-negligible existence when she stood there, unlike
others who needed to be dramatic to make their presence known.
She had an innate regality that could not be hidden The more one looked at her, the more beautiful she
seemed. Nicole, who was walking in front, could notice the burning gaze from behind.
Every time she turned to glare at him, he just happened to be looking down in search of something. His
serious look was really strange.
The camera was also pointed at her from time to time, which was really annoying! Nicole walked around
on the second floor and found nothing. Nathaniel ran upstairs. “Uncle Eric, Nikki, let’s exchange floors.
We found nothing, only five or six empty boxes…” » Nicole nodded and was just about to go downstairs
when she inadvertently swept a glance at the wall across from them.
Eric also looked over and narrowed his eyes. It was indeed a map. Nicole’s eyes lit up. She rushed over
and looked at the staff next to her. “Is it this one?” Her excitement was overwhelming.
The staff regrettably shook his head. Nope! Her eyes instantly dimmed. ‘I knew it wouldn’t be that
simple!’ Nicole was about to go downstairs when she suddenly heard Mikayla shout from the third floor. “I
found it!” )) Everyone’s eyes subconsciously looked upward.
Nathaniel snorted in disbelief until Miles shouted, “Director!” They then paid attention to the commotion.
The staff on the side told everyone to go to the third floor.
It seemed that Mikayla really found the map. No one expected Mikayla, who was so poor in interpersonal
communication, to work so hard this time.
Nicole followed them upstairs. Mikayla excitedly took the treasure map to the director as Miles stood on
the side expressionlessly.
“This game is such a waste of time! The director accepted it and solemnly announced that this was the
real treasure map. Mikayla was so happy that she jumped up in excitement.
“Finally! My moment of glory! “Director, isn’t it time to change teammates?” Mikayla looked at Eric with a
burning gaze. Her thoughts were written all over her face.
That was how it was in the last episode. Whoever won the first game got to change teammates.
“Uh…” The director hesitantly frowned. Eric, who was standing behind Nicole, suddenly said in an icy
tone. “This part is canceled for this episode.”
