The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1565 Close Your Eyes

Nicole heard the phone ringing from inside the room, s o Clayton naturally heard it from outside.

In a few seconds, the sound of footsteps had arrived at her door.

They were just one door apart.

Nicole's heart was beating extremely fast.

"Nicole, is that you? Are you in there?"

Clayton rapped on the door, nervous as hell.

He hoped that he could hear her voice at this time.

Eric's name flashed on the phone screen.

Eric was calling.

Clayton saw it clearly and was even more certain of his speculation.

The voice of the person downstairs was extremely loud. "One minute left! Irrelevant personnel must evacuate immediately! The bomb is about to explode!" Nicole could not help but shudder. "Clayton!

Her tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath.

"Get out of here!"

Even if Clayton's arrival brought her infinite expectations, she would rather not have that hope now.

Nicole already felt very calm to be able to hear his voice.

She was not willing for them to die together.

She wanted Clayton to live a good life.

Clayton heard her cry, and his body trembled.

His voice was also trembling as he said, "Don't be scared... Don't be scared, Nicole... I'm coming..."

Clayton slammed his body on the door with all his might, but the bamboo door just swayed and did not crash open.

After a few tries, Nicole was scared to death to hear it.

"It's too late..."

Nicole's palms were sweating. She took a deep breath. "Quick, you need to leave now!"

Clayton did not reply, but he did not give up either.

The next second, he smashed the door with something, and the door burst open.

Nicole stood there, dumbfounded. She saw Clayton at the door, looking wretched, but he was so tall and handsome, like a Greek god that descended from the sky that stood between her and hell. His face was pale and glum, but his gaze was extremely firm, dark, and heavy as if he could stuff her into his pocket with one glance.

"Twenty more seconds! The people inside won't have a chance if they don't come out now!"

The voice outside was extremely loud and penetrated the silence in the air.

Clayton shuddered, took a few steps forward, and pulled Nicole's hand to lead her out. When he stepped over that phone, the screen had shattered and gone dark.

"Ten seconds-"

Nicole's heart sank hard. She looked at Clayton's firm back and was indescribably sad.

She had dragged him down with her.

There was no way they could leave in ten seconds.

Clayton pulled Nicole to the window in the corridor and opened the window. The people outside were counting down the seconds, which felt like a death knell.

Nicole looked at Clayton nervously with reddened eyes. There was no pride or brightness on her pretty face.

Clayton hugged her waist. His warm and assuring scent enveloped her. He reached out and lifted her up.

His deep voice rang in her ear. "Baby, close your eyes..." "Three- Two- One-"

Nicole only felt her head spinning as her whole body was thrown outside by the strong shock wave.

Her resistance and strength seemed so minute compared to this explosive material.

Clayton was holding her tightly from the back. The moment they jumped down from the building, his hand cushioned her head.

The next second, her brain drowsily slipped into the darkness. The noise from the outside world gradually faded away.

It was already too late when Eric arrived.

Eric did not even know how he had survived the past forty minutes.

Caleb gave him half an hour. Eric thought that he could replace Nicole, but by the time he turned around from the airport and got all his men to search for Nicole's whereabouts, a full forty minutes had passed.
