The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 312 Shameless

There was dead silence all around.

Nicole did not care if Eric's compliment was sincere.

Did she need him to tell her that she was beautiful?

However, for a split second, Eric's words did cause Nicole's heart to tremble slightly.

Her stance was still unstable. She was stunned for a moment and almost got sucked into Eric's sweet talk.

Fortunately, she reacted in time. 'This son of a b*tch can't seduce me! I won't fall for it!'

Countless celebrity bigwigs could not help but secretly give Nicole a thumbs up when they heard her reply.

This was a classic snide remark from President Nicole.

A standard "thank you" could have answered this, but Nicole's answer was the best.

The next moment, the music started, and the awards ceremony began.

Nicole was arranged to present an award to Fabian. Thus, as soon as the nominations for the "Most Promising Newcomer" award were announced, Nicole prepared to go onstage.

There were usually two "Most Promising Newcomer" awards, one of which was Fabian's because he deserved it.

Fabian was unaware of all this until that moment.

The host was on stage, passionately introducing the nominees. The drumroll sounded and countless spotlights focused on the expressions of the nominees as they tried to capture their micro-expressions. The suspense was at its highest point.

"The winners of the "Most Promising Newcomer" awards are... Fabian and Mikayla!"

Loud applause instantly resounded in the hall.

Fabian stood up excitedly. A camera swept over to him. At that moment, the two seats next to him were empty.

Nicole straightened her dress below the stage and was just about to go up to present the award when someone behind her suddenly took her hand with a firm grip, leading her up.

She glanced to the side and stiffened slightly.

'Eric Ferguson?! Why is this guy haunting me?!'

The other guest of honor was supposed to be the director of the TV station, so how could there be a last-minute change?

Nicole glanced back and saw the director of the TV station smiling respectfully at the side. He extended his arm as a signal for Nicole to "please proceed".

This was clearly Eric's intention to swap out the director for himself. How shameless!

Nicole wanted to withdraw her hand and did not want to be so close to him. His faint scent of cologne only made her uncomfortable.

Eric pressed down on her hand to prevent her from retracting it.

"Don't make a scene."

His low magnetic voice sounded.

He made it sound like he was very tolerant of Nicole, who was the unreasonable one.

'What the hell?!'

Nicole was stunned for a moment. She clenched her teeth and knew that it was too late to refuse because they had already walked to the stage.

Under the spotlight, countless pairs of eyes and cameras were on them.

Nicole just felt so uneasy and restless.

The appearance of Eric Ferguson and Nicole Stanton in the same frame was far more attractive than the two most promising newcomers. They seemed to carry their unique auras, so when they stood there at this time, it seemed like they were the main focus on the stage.

In particular, Mikayla and the host, who were wearing gorgeous gowns, were overshadowed.

The host on stage reacted quickly. "It's an honor to have Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stanton here to present the 'Most Promising Newcomer' awards. Would you like to say anything to the two actors?"

Nicole finally had a chance to let go of Eric's arm, so she took two steps forward to separate herself from Eric.

She smiled so brightly that she made her look as radiant and stunning as ever.

Nicole picked up the microphone and praised Fabian unrestrainedly.

"Fabian's efforts and talent are self-evident. I truly appreciate his performance most among the newcomers. I think he is truly deserving to win this award..."

Eric's gaze had been locked onto Nicole the entire time. When it was Eric's turn to speak, the crowd fell silent.

Mikayla, who was on the side, blushed nervously and looked at Eric with expectant, glimmering eyes.

Eric picked up the microphone. He had forgotten the name of the actress who won the award, so he just smiled faintly and said, "Whatever Ms. Stanton said is my words exactly." Nicole thought, 'Shameless bastard!'
