Chapter 1009 Den of Pain
Although Lil Michael was reluctant to part with the Pretty Lady, he would see her againter. He
deliberated for half a second before letting go of Nicole’s hand and rushing in.
The corners of yton’s mouth twitched. ''Huh, childish!’
Nicole let Lil Michael leave because she knew that if Keith was here, that man was most likely here as
well.
Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Eric standing coldly and indifferently beside Keith.
Nicole had not seen Eric for some time, but he still looked the same.
However, it felt like the aura around him had be even more austere andpelling.
yton stood to the side and quietly held Nicole''s hand.
The warmth from his fingertips flowed into her heart, and the coldness she felt disappeared in an
instant. Nicole snapped back to her senses and looked at yton with a smile.
Then, she looked at Keith familiarly.
"Mr. Ludwig, I thought you were really going to be an actor. It''s an honor for us that you took time

out of your schedule to be here!”
In order to get back his ex-wife Livia, Keith almost became a guest on the variety show Livia was
starring in, working silently.
The circle hadughed at him for a while.
Keith felt gloomy as his face stiffened.
"Ms. Stanton’s habit of poking people in the heart still hasn''t changed, huh?"
He put on a fake smile.
Nicole raised her brows. "I enjoy doing it, so I don''t n on changing."
Keith became even angrier.
If not for the fact that Keith was worried if Eric came here alone, he would not havee here to make
a fool of himself.
However, he could not do anything about it. After all, Nicole still had the video of him running around
naked.
It was a stain for the rest of his life.
Eric''s dark eyes were cold as he looked at yton and then at Nicole. His gaze rested on their
interlocked hands for a few seconds before moving away indifferently.
However, his heart felt like it was being strangled, giving off a suffocating pain.
Eric curled his lips and raised his eyes to look at
yton, then spoke with a cold voice devoid of warmth.
"Mr. Sloan, the project with J&L Corporation is nearing its end. I’ll have to trouble you to go abroad to
apply for the patents and exhibition registrations."
The project was about to bepleted, but the next step was trickier.
yton met Eric’s gaze calmly. "Of course."
He was used to it.
Eric’s gaze swept over to Nicole. His eyes sank for a moment before bing gentle.
"You’re beautiful..."
"Thank you. Wee to my brother and sister-inw''s engagement party. Pleasee inside..."
Nicole was polite and detached.
Eric gave her a deep look and lifted his legs to walk in.
Keith followed in surprise.
"I thought you''d have gotten physical, Eerg. I thought you wouldn''t be able to hold back..."
Eric nced at him coldly with a hint of warning, trying to shake him off quickly.
Was he that insane?
Thest time he hit yton, Nicole called and scolded him.
Eric was only enlightened after Mitchell and Toto''s exnation.
Only a boorish person would use violence.
''I’m a civilized man, and I''ll beat yton at his own game!'' Eric thought.
When the other guests came at the door, Nicole hurriedly let go of yton''s hand and went over to
exchange a few pleasantries before turning around and going back.
yton was still standing in the same ce waiting for her. He stood under the air vent, which was a
little cold.
However, it was like he did not feel anything. He stood there like a statue, looking at her with warm and
deep eyes.
Nicole felt guilty about her earlier actions and wondered if she identally hurt his feelings.
She walked over slowly. "Why didn’t you go in?"
yton smiled and looked at her yfully.
"I''m afraid you''ll choose to be someone else''s date to avoid arousing suspicion, so of course, I have to
watch you well!"
