Chapter 708 Eric F*ckerson''s Confidence
In the next second, Nicole came back to her senses and pushed his hand away, leaving his embrace.
''Ugh, Eric F*ckerson just wants to show off all the time!’
A single sentence from him made her gratitude disappear.
Nicole flipped her hair as if nothing had happened. " You think too much. Thanks."
Eric wrinkled his eyebrows. ''Her attitude changed a little too fast, right?’
He moved closer to her and said in a low voice, "That''s it? Just one word of thanks? Ms. Stanton,
you''re so stingy."
''What else did he want?’
Nicole suddenly regretted not falling down. ''If I fell, I would''ve just felt a pang of pain. That''s still better
than letting this jerk torment me!’
Thinking of this, she looked up at him helplessly." Then how do you want me to thank you?"
''I only fell because of you!'' Nicole thought, but she would never tell him this.
The two of them were extremely close. The tobo smell on his body seemed to have faded, and only
the fragrance of tea remained. It was a veryfortable and mild scent that reduced the biting
coldness from his body.
In her moment of concentration, Eric''s face suddenly erged in front of her eyes.
His thin, cool lipsnded gently on her forehead like a dragonfly. He soon let go of her.
Nicole’s body stiffened. When she came to senses, she tried to kick him, but he seemed to anticipate
this and used his long leg to press against hers. He let out a lowugh.
"If you kick me again, my leg will be crippled, then you’ll have to take responsibility for me for the rest of
my life!"
With that, he reached out and brushed her hair.
"This is the only kind of gratitude that I''ll ept."
His voice was extremely light. He took two steps back, turned around, and caught up to Mr. Lewis.
It was as if he was deliberately distancing himself from her.
Nicoleughed in exasperation. ''What the hell?! He''s s o self-righteous even after taking advantage of
me? Where did Eric F*ckerson get his self-confidence from?!''
Logan, who was not far away, saw this and did not expect that Eric would be so flirtatious.
However, it seemed that his tease did not work on Nicole. Instead, it even pissed her off!
Mr. Lewis and the others were seated in the private room. Nicole went inside as if nothing had
happened.
She tried very hard not to look at Eric''s gaze, lest she could not control herself from wanting to punch
him.
''Just bear with it and settle the scoreter!'' Nicole thought.
They had pre-ordered the food, but Mr. Lewis and Eric respectively added two more dishes. The
atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
Nicole made the first toast to Mr. Lewis, who responded adequately.
She was happy and downed the ss of wine in one g o. Everyone was somewhat impressed.
On the side, Eric''s face unconsciously darkened.
Mr. Lewis finished drinking his ss and felt delighted. He spoke straightforwardly.
"Sand City''s lousy project is listed as a key project with top priority, but no one is willing to take over.
Even if there is, we don''t dare to just award this project to anypany with the previous lessons
learned. President Nicole, how are you interested in this project?"
When Mr. Lewis'' address to her changed from "Ms. Stanton” to "President Nicole", Nicoleughed
heartily.
They were finally getting into the main purpose of the evening.
"It''s because manypanies couldn''t handle this project that I decided to take it up. I know that it''s
hard, but if it wasn''t, why would I do it myself? We don’t need to do anything more to prove Stanton
Corporation''s strength, but everyone in mypany likes to take up high-level challenges."
Nicole smiled. The way Mr. Lewis looked at her became solemn.
Mr. Lewis looked sideways at Eric and smiled meaningfully.
"It’s like you two have already discussed this beforehand. It''s no wonder so many people support you

both to be together. Excellent people grouped together will only make them even better."
Nicole''s expression stiffened slightly as she looked at Eric.
"Mr. Ferguson, are you also interested in this project?"
