Keith walked away dejected.
Eric shook his head and watched. Keith looked so smug when he went over to Nicole, but when he came
back, he looked like this. Nicole was really amazing!
She could even clean up such a shameless guy like Keith Ludwig.
The people not far away came over to exchange pleasantries and noticed Eric’s obviously different
attitude. They were enthusiastic and polite.
“Welcome, Mr. Ferguson…”
Eric raised his glass in gesture. Before he could retract his hand, someone next to him suddenly crashed
into him.
The red wine poured all over his body.
The disgust in Eric’s eyes had not yet faded when the person who crashed into him was about to jump
into his arms.
It was a woman.
At once, his gaze darkened and turned cold. He was quick to take a few steps back to give way for the
woman to fall.
He did not want this woman to touch him.
In front of Nicole, moral integrity was the most basic quality he had to keep.
“Ah…”
After a miserable scream and a clatter, there was finally silence.
Xandria had clearly calculated the angle and position she needed to be in to fall into Eric’s arms
accurately so that she would not look bad in front of so many people.
However, who knew that the man who was standing there had taken a few steps backward so quickly?
Xandria fell straight to the floor and bared her teeth in pain. Soon, a crowd gathered around her.
“She’s wearing a uniform, so she’s a waitress here, right?”
“Yeah, why is this person so fidgety? She almost hit Mr. Ferguson. She really has no eyes!”
“That’s right. Where’s the supervisor? Why didn’t they come out?”
Xandria waited for a day at Ferguson Corporation, only to be told that Eric did not know her and would
not see her.
Since Xandria left Stanton Corporation, she had nowhere to go. How could a top student like her who
had studied abroad just settle for a small company?
Thus, Xandria thought about targeting Eric.
Eric had met her before, so how could he say that he did not know her?
Xandria learned with great difficulty that Eric would attend this party today, so she managed to get in.
Even if she was just a waiter, she would find a chance to appear in front of him as long as he was there.
She did not expect that Eric would be so unchivalrous as to let a woman fall to the floor.
He did not even give her a hand.
The surrounding waiters came over to help Xandria up.
The supervisor also hurried over to apologize.
“Sorry, everyone! I’m sorry, Mr. Ferguson. This person is new and fidgety. I’ll deal with it immediately.”
Eric’s eyes were cold and sunken. He looked very unhappy because his clothes were soiled, which was
what he could not tolerate the most.
Xandria looked soft and weak as someone helped her up. Under the supervisor’s gesture, she looked at
Eric aggrievedly.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Ferguson. I really didn’t mean to do this.”
In her eyes, she seemed to be complaining that he avoided her.
Eric’s gaze was harsh and frigid. He did not even look at her and put the glass aside, then turned to
leave.
Xandria hurriedly called out to him. “Mr. Ferguson, don’t you remember me?”
Eric’s footsteps lurched. Hearing these words, he glanced back.
That face was ignorant and unfamiliar.
Did he see her before?
With that glance, Xandria was a little heartbroken, but she did not forget to remind him.
“I opened the door for you on New Year’s Eve at the Stanton Mansion. Two days ago, I handed over a
flash drive to you…”
Eric pursed his lips. ’Those two people are the same person?’
“You’re… Nicole’s cousin?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Ferguson, you really have a good memory!”
Xandria beamed with excitement.
