The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 574 I Can't Stand It Anymore

Eric walked over gloomily and interrupted their conversation.

His tone was tinged with jealousy.

"What are you guys talking about so happily?"

Clayton looked at Nicole, who slowly took a sip of coffee. Her slender fingers were so smooth and beautiful like works of art.

After a momentary lapse of concentration, Clayton immediately spoke. "Ms. Stanton just told a joke. Mr. Ferguson, would you like to hear it?"

Nicole raised her eyes to look at Clayton, but she did not say anything.

Eric's gaze sank even more. He gnashed his teeth. 'She even joked with Clayton?!'

"Of course, do you mind if I join you?"

He did not wait for their reply and sat down next to Nicole, looking like he was declaring sovereignty.

His long legs carelessly touched Nicole's legs, so she subconsciously moved to the side a little.

Nicole wore a skirt that reached just above her knees. Seeing this, Eric deliberately touched her leg. At that moment, he felt an electric current through his heart.

He inadvertently glanced at her legs and could not move his eyes away.

'How can her slender and smooth calves be so beautiful?' Eric's scorching gaze focused on Nicole.

A few seconds later, he quickly averted his gaze because it would be a problem if he could not control himself after staring at her for too long.

Nicole glared at him coldly and did not avoid his touch again. Instead, she kicked him viciously.

In a flash, his face turned white with pain.

'Damn it! How cruel!'

There was not much movement, so Clayton did not know what was happening under the table.

Eric smiled as if nothing had happened. "Actually, it's fun to have dinner with Mr. Sloan. Next time you guys meet up, remember to call me."

He looked at Nicole, who gave him a blank stare. She then looked at Clayton and said, "Mr. Sloan, I'm done with dinner, so I'll head home first. Goodbye."

Clayton paused for a moment and hurriedly said, "Ms. Stanton, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you..."

Nicole looked at him.

"I have to leave Mediania in a few days to deal with some matters, so Lil Michael will be alone here. I can't be assured even with his nanny and bodyguard around because he just won't behave himself. Will you please look after him for a few days?"

Nicole immediately understood.

Next to her, Eric let out a cold laugh. "If you're worried, just take him with you. Why bother others?"

Not to mention, that annoying kid was always giving him trouble.

Nicole replied, "No problem! I'll get someone to pick him up. He can stay in the Stanton Mansion while you're away."

Eric paused for a moment and was unhappy about this arrangement, but he did not continue to speak.

Clayton smiled. "Thank you so much, and sorry for the trouble."

No one paid any attention to Eric's displeasure.

Nicole turned to leave, so Eric naturally followed her.

When Nicole got into the car, Eric sat on the passenger side.

Nicole did not drive away and stared speechlessly at the dim streetlights ahead.

"Don't you have your own car?"

Eric said, "I drank just now, so I can't drive. My driver's also inside drinking..."

Thus, he did not want to drive.

"Nicole, can you not meet with him alone in the future? I can't stand it."

His voice was low, hoarse, and pleading.

Nicole took a deep breath. "Eric Ferguson, I hope you remember that our little situation can't be known by others."

Eric's dark eyes flickered. He suddenly leaned into her. His voice was seductive and husky. "What's our situation? Even though I'm your lover, it's just titular. Why don't we become real lovers?" Otherwise, having this title would all be in vain!

Nicole tilted her head slightly to look at him. 'Huh... This son of a b*tch finally revealed his true colors!'

Eric's eyes were dark and deep like a whirlpool that could draw people in.

However, Nicole was unfazed. She tapped on the steering wheel, sneered, and started the car.

Eric asked, "Where are you going?"

Nicole replied, "A hotel."
