The fact that he told her this information also proved that he genuinely wanted to cooperate with her Although Nicole was not happy about Eric’s involvement, she had a clear mind and separated her personal affairs and business well. She would not give up on this opportunity. her eyes and smiled. ‘With
Ferguson Corporation’s strength, you can very well enjoy the fruits of this cooperation by yourself. Why do you need a third party to get involved?’ She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Eric. ‘After all, this is a brand new field that no one’s involved in, so Ferguson The corporation cannot take this risk alone
The man’s voice was deep and clear. The corners of his lips hooked up. “It won’t be a wrong move for Stanton Corporation to choose J8.L. l hope we’ll have a pleasant cooperation.” l-le raised his glass with his slender and beautiful hand. Gerard Lichman clinked
his glass with Eric’s and the two men waited for l*llcole’s response. Since there was no other choice, Nicole could only smile faintly and coldly as gently raised her glass. The soft liner of the glasses was crisp and pleasant. Everything was settled. Even though Nicole was not happy about i t, there was no way out. Her chest felt stuffy and unpleasant. Gerard breathed a sigh of relief and noticed the tense atmosphere between the two of them. He tried to ease the situation and said, “Why don’t you two take the first dance as the opening to our anniversary celebration? I think this is undoubtedly the best way to announce our cooperation ‘ Eric frowned slightly. Nicole chuckled and reached out to tuck her hair behind her

and left. ignoring Eric’s cold andisullii? gaze. Gerard shrugged his shoulders and said it’s just one dance, but she’s not even willing to. It seems that our future cooperation won’t be very pleasant. Mr. Ferguson, you’re the first among the elites that have such a messy divorce. Eric’s face sank as he stared at Nicole’s swaying dress. His expression turned even more downcast.
‘Don’t know how to dance? Hah! Then was I blind back at Ian Carter’s restaurant?‘ However, Eric suddenly thought of Colton‘s words and felt the anger in his chest dissipate. Instead, his heart clenched uncomfortably. ‘I really owe her 3019 much…’

Grant paused for a moment and finally understood why Nicole looked so cold. H e smiled and stroked her hair dotingly and gently. ‘It’s okay. That just means we have someone to share the risks with. The benefits in this certainly outweigh the disadvantages.‘ Nicole froze for a moment and raised her

What Eric Ferguson was worried about was exactly Stanton Corporation’: woes -s well. The benefits of this three-way cooperation did outweigh the disadvantages. After Nicole figured it out, the moodiness i n her chest was instantly swept away. She smiled and took Grant’s arm, then gently placed her chin on his shoulder as she whined. ‘G, thanks for reminding me. Otherwise, I would’ve been cursing all of them for days on end!‘ Grant could not help but laugh. This intimate scene was an eyesore to a certain onlooker. Eric stared at the pair from upstairs and watched Grant and Nicole’s intimate gestures. Keith Ludwig came up and scoffed Tsk tsk…l heard that Grant Stanton isn’t
“closed to women, but why is he so attached to this woman? They must have an unspeakable relationship!‘ Eric faintly retracted his gaze with a cold face He ignored Keith and went downstairs to network with the other guests.
The banquet hall was finally abuzz Gerard walked over and whispered a few words to the emcee, who then came forward with a microphone. ‘Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to J8.L Corporation’s Sth anniversary’ To celebrate this momentous day, I will announce the latest project partners of J8. L Corporation on behalf of Mr, Lichman, which are Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation. Now, let’s invite Mr. Eric Ferguson and Ms. Nicole to share the opening dance!‘ The crowd cheered loudly.
