Julie paused and interrupted Nicole.
“Lil N, I’m not gonna lie to you. I do still have feelings for Kai, but… That kind of feeling is like standing on
the edge of a cliff with a knife hanging overhead. It’s so uncertain and scary. I can’t handle another loss
like that, so I’d rather not go through that.”
This kind of relationship was different from her relationship with Roman.
Julie was always indifferent and wary of Roman. She always knew that their relationship would come to
an end, but with Kai, her heart was moved.
Nicole was silent for a moment. She smiled and nodded.
She understood that a partner was more important to Julie than anything else because he would be her
only family for life.
However, who could guarantee that the flirtatious and amorous Kai would always give Julie so much
passion and love?
People who did not have the slightest sense of security would not easily trust and give away their hearts.
Julie did not want to be abandoned once again.
Nicole took a deep breath. Just then, the elevator door opened.
They walked out.
“No matter what, I will always be on your side, Jules. Just follow your heart.”
There was no need to be caught in anyone’s persuasive words or feelings.
Julie nodded. The two ladies looked at each other and smiled.
Soon after, Julie’s smile stiffened. ”Mr. Ferguson?”
Eric stood there with a cold and reserved aura. He was tall and was really too conspicuous in the crowd.
Nicole looked back.
Eric was looking at her with a smile as he walked over. ” What a coincidence!”
’Coincidence my foot!’ Nicole thought.
They had a lot of common friends in the circle, so they would usually get invited to the same events.
Intentional avoidance would just attract attention.
Nicole nodded and smiled perfunctorily. ”It is quite a coincidence…”
Eric said seriously and solemnly, ”It must be destiny that we keep meeting.”
Nicole’s smile stiffened.
Julie could not help but burst out laughing. ’He must be out of his mind!’
Nicole forced a smile and pulled Julie to go around Eric. ” Let’s go say hello to them.”
Eric lowered his eyes to conceal the disappointment in them. Soon after, he looked up again with cold,
harsh eyes as the people in front approached him to exchange pleasantries.
He looked completely different in a split second.
Keith saw that there was a crowd and took the initiative to come over.
“Ferg, don’t be discouraged. I’ll definitely help you!”
Keith blinked. Only after having experienced it himself did he understand how regretful it was to lose a
sincere relationship.
His beloved Livia handled a few great cases and gained online fame. She became a representative of
divorced independent women.
Livia was living a good life, but what about him? Keith thought about it and went over to Nicole. “Ms.
Stanton, it’s been a while…”
Everyone saw Young Master Ludwig approaching and made way for him.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Yes, Mr. Ludwig. Do you need something?”
“We’re friends, or at least acquaintances. Can’t we just chat casually if I don’t need anything?”
Keith’s habit of pestering and being naturally close to others did not change one bit.
Nicole laughed.
“Sure we can! I still have your nudes on my phone. From time to time, I’ll take a look at it. That’s quite
interesting, don’t you think?”
Keith’s face stiffened and turned glum. The excitement in his eyes was instantly annihilated. ’Sh”t, I’m
screwed ! I’m not worthy to talk to Nicole… We’re not even on the same level.’
“Ms. Stanton, you must be joking…”
He bowed his head in dismay, hesitated for several seconds, and did not leave. He braced himself and
pleaded.
“Ms. Stanton, can you say a few good words for me in front of Livia? I’m truly repentant now…”
Nicole took a sip of red wine, looking indifferent and elegant. Her temperament was extremely calm.
She asked, “Do you think that’s possible?” Keith subconsciously shook his head.
Nicole laughed. ’He clearly knows the answer. I guess he was also kicked in the head…’
