Chapter 564 He''s Embarrassing
Eric''s breathing instantly stalled. The air around him seemed to condense and permeate with a light
chill.
His eyes narrowed. ''The first request she made was actually for that counterfeit?!''
He licked the corner of his mouth. His narrow eyes carried a hint of gloom.
There was some inexplicable difort in his throat.
"What, you can''t bear to see him gone?"
Nicole said, "Of course. He’s my guy that I stuffed in here."
''How can I let him lose such a good opportunity when I haven''t squeezed out Xander''s remaining value
yet?''
Eric stared intently at Nicole. The pleasure he felt earlier was swept away in an instant, as if a bucket of
cold water fell from the sky and solely poured over his head.
He felt cold through the heart.
However, he could only stand there and re at her, not daring to ask one more question.
If not, he would just be asking for trouble and making a fool of himself.
Kai coughed and felt that he was quite redundant here.
Eric was clearly not a match for Nicole, so he worried for nothing.
Kai stood up and found an excuse to leave.
The two of them were left in the cabin.
They looked at each other, and no one spoke first.
Nicole looked extraordinarily calm. ''That''s all he can put up with?’
She was not afraid of Eric''s wrath, nor was she afraid o f him leaving in disappointment.
Nicole sat there with a faint smile and exquisite eyebrows. She was unmoved.
Eric conceded defeat. He lowered his eyes and smiled, then looked at her seriously.
"What about me?”
''He''s your guy. What about me?''
She promised to give him a chance too.
Nicoleughed. The words she uttered were extremely cold. "You’re not my husband, so I don''t feel

anything for you.”
She only agreed for him to be one of her lovers.
"Also, it’s best that no one else knows about our rtionship." She added with a smile.
"Am I that embarrassing?"
His eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Nicole shook her head. "I''m just looking out for the interests of both ourpanies so that we can
reduce unnecessary losses."
What a far-sighted n!
Other women wanted the whole world to know when they got involved with Eric, but Nicole did not want
anyone to know about it.
The fact that she was ready to end it at any time meant that she had no intention of being serious with
him.
Eric’s face turned dark.
"Of course, if you don''t want to, let''s just pretend all this never happened."
He could back out at any time.
Eric gritted his teeth. "I agree."
Did he have a choice?
He could onlypromise.
Nicole smiled, stood up, and patted his shoulder, then suddenly came close to his ear and whispered,
"You should learn how to serve people well from Xander..."
After that, Nicole strutted away happily in her heels.
''If he''s angry, he can just end this!’
Nicole''s goal was to make him so exasperated that he would give up on his own ord.
She left with Kai.
Eric stood in ce. His body stiffened as a storm was brewing in his eyes.
No one noticed the undercurrents between these two big shots.
The crew was specting whether their rtionship had broken the ice. This was a real shocker.
Toto came to pick up Eric.
When he saw Eric''s face, he thought about the gossip h e heard from the group of actors and crew. It
seemed like there was ambiguous interaction between Eric and Nicole.
''Could it be...?''
Toto coughed. "Mr. Ferguson, I saw Ms. Stanton just now..."
At the mention of her name, Eric''s eyelids jumped.
Toto asked, “You didn’t fight, did you?"
Eric''s gaze was cold as he red at Toto silently.
''Does he have a death wish? I can grant him his wish...’
Toto immediately changed his tone. "I mean... Don''t be impulsive. At critical moments, you must be
patient. A s long as Ms. Stanton is happy, we need topromise a little. Otherwise, ording to her
character, she may be deliberately making you angry s o that you''ll give up."
