The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 357 You Acted Well

Eric's words suddenly made Nicole feel heartbroken.

'How could I feel heartbroken for Eric Ferguson?!' Nicole pursed her lips. Her eyes suddenly felt a little sore.

Soon, she tried hard to ignore this feeling and raised her head to meet his gaze. She curled up her lips coldly.

"It's good that you know this."

The corners of the man's eyes were red. His lips were pressed into a straight line, and his tall, upright figure seemed extraordinarily lonely.

Eric wanted to threaten her, but Nicole was not afraid of him.

He wanted to show weakness, but she was not heartbroken.

Faced with Nicole, Eric felt like there was nothing he could do.

Keith heard a commotion outside the private room and rushed over.

"Ferg, quick! Colton's dragging Melanie to the hospital... Oh, Nicole's still here?"

Nicole smiled faintly as a greeting. She did not say another word and turned to leave.

Her departing back looked so isolated and determined.

Eric only thought about Nicole's indifferent gaze that pierced his heart.

He did not yell or lose his composure. The emotions in his eyes also dissipated and he looked very calm.

However, his fists were tightly clenched, which made the veins in his arms bulge out, betraying his suppressed waves of anger.

Keith called out to him, but he did not move, so he could guess what was going on.

When Keith wanted to say a few words of comfort, Eric suddenly turned and left.

Keith called out to him a few times, but he saw the storm brewing in Eric's eyes and had a bad feeling about it. He was about to chase after Eric when more screams came from Colton's private room. Thus, Keith hurriedly went back in to help out.

Nicole returned to Nathaniel's private room. Miles saw her and knew that Eric had returned in defeat.

In love, the person who compromises first was usually the more committed one.

Nathaniel really did order a bottle of vintage Chateau d'Yquern for Nicole, but she was no longer in the mood to drink.

All she thought about was Eric's reddened eyes, which made her unsettled. 'Did I go too far?'

However, Eric would have to accept the reality sooner or later. One day, she would have a boyfriend, and he would also marry someone else.

Colton White's private room was a few rooms away from theirs, which was quite a distance from the corridor.

What no one noticed was that the layout of this building was actually an irregular S-shape. Thus, their balcony was actually only next to Colton's balcony. Nicole went out to the balcony to get some air. Keith, who was at his balcony, saw Nicole at a glance and immediately hid behind the curtains.

Keith did not want to confront this majesty at this moment.

Miles came over with a glass of Chateau d'Yquern and handed it to her.

"Bad mood?"

Nicole took it over and smiled. She looked at the traffic outside and saw the fog enveloping the whole city.

"Not as good a mood as you're in."

Miles could not help but laugh. "Right, that's because you acted well."

He took his glass and gently clinked it with her. He then raised his glass and drank it all.

Nicole took a sip of the wine. It was mellow and sweet, with the right amount of richness. The alcohol lingered on the tip of her tongue.

"You played along well too. We look just like a real couple..."

Perhaps his anger motivated him to perform better.

Keith was so frightened that his legs started to wobble for fear of being discovered by Nicole.

After a long time, the two people on the balcony finally left. Keith trembled and quickly took out his phone to send the voice recording to Eric.

This time, Eric could finally rest well.

Eric saw the notification on his phone and clicked on it.

"Right, that's because you acted well." It was Miles Kavanagh's voice.

"You played along well too. We look just like a real couple..." This was Nicole's voice.

The two people tacitly clinked their glasses...

Eric's body stiffened for a moment and listened to it over and over again. The stuffiness in his chest suddenly disappeared. The gloom and rage in his eyes also vanished. Eric hooked his lips. It turned out to be a fake!

He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the car seat. He felt relaxed as he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and instructed the driver.

"Get Mitchell to come back."

Since their relationship was fake, Eric no longer needed to worry about Miles.

The raging storm that was brewing in Eric suddenly turned into clear skies.

"Yes, sir." The driver dared not delay another moment.
