The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 554

Gerard Lichman was already there when Nicole arrived at the restaurant's private room.

Several familiar faces came back with Gerard.

She smiled and went up to hug Gerard. "Good work, M r. Lichman."

Gerard laughed. His elegant face was a little haggard, but he was more excited.

"It's my job. Fortunately, we weren't a disgrace to the Medianian artificial intelligence scene."

Nicole thought, 'He’s got quite a big picture.'

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they were relaxed and started chit-chatting.

"Let’s order some food."

Nicole said, "It's on me today, so order whatever you like."

Gerard hesitated for a moment. "It should be my treat since I have to apologize to Mr. Ferguson."

Nicole was surprised. "Apologize for what?"

Gerard thought that perhaps Nicole could help him out, so he told her about what happened that day.

When Nicole heard about Eric's reply, she could imagine what Eric felt at that moment.

Eric used to be in the military, so even if he became a businessman, his loyalty to the country was not to be doubted.

It was no wonder Gerard felt so guilty.

"Ms. Stanton, please help me to say a few words in a moment..."

Nicole smiled. "Of course."

As they spoke, the door of the private room opened again. Eric came inside by himself.

He swept a glance at the people present and lingered o n Nicole for a moment. He then smiled and went up to pat Gerard’s shoulder.

"You must've had a tough journey."

Gerard saw Eric's attitude and breathed a sigh of relief. "No, it's not tough. You've already arranged everything nicely, so we were just running errands."

If not for Eric's elaborate plan, they would not have won so beautifully.

At that time, if they directly accused Liberty Technologies, their investors would have wiped out J& L Corporation.

While they were talking, Eric's hand that was resting o n the back of her chair accidentally touched her hair, but he did not move away. Rather, he even fiddled with a lock of her hair.

Nicole shot a sidelong glance at him without any expression.

Eric met her gaze and suddenly felt his fingers tremble. He subconsciously retracted his hand.

'Damn it!' He was actually scared of her.

The food and drinks were finally served.

Nicole and some other female employees ordered juice.

Gerard calmly and eloquently made a toast, mainly to Eric and Nicole.

The two of them lifted their glass and took a sip in response.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became lively. Eric got his driver to make transport arrangements for the others, so they could drink to their heart's content.

After three rounds of wine, Gerard took his glass and winked to Nicole, who was next to him.

Eric’s face turned colder when he saw this.
