The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1063 How Respectable

Julie froze. The gloominess over her heart suddenly dissipated.

Kai was so brazen, so why should she cower at every turn?

Julie lowered her head and laughed at herself for worrying about nothing.

Nicole told her not to worry, but Julie did not understand until this moment that all the obstacles she thought about were just her overthinking the situation. The sky was dark without a single star.

lan begged Nicole several times before she agreed to attend a private party.

Thus, Nicole could only put off the dinner date she originally had with Clayton and got changed into a simple dress before she left.

The light and shadows were whirling around, and the lights were flashing.

lan waited at the door and was freezing to death while waiting for Nicole, who arrived late.

He walked over with a sigh and opened the door for her.

"Milady, you're a full twenty minutes late!"

Nicole glanced at him lightly and retorted with a straight face, "Which lady doesn't arrive fashionably late?"

lan was speechless.

If other women dared to make him wait for more than five minutes, he would never meet her again.

However, Nicole was an exception. Ian gave in to her since they were young.

"What kind of party is this?"

If it was a business party, Nicole would not be unaware of it.

lan replied, "Lance's birthday. He has no acquaintances in West City, and I just met him a few days ago, so I came to join the fun."

Nicole stopped in her tracks as her expression changed.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"Why are you reacting like that?" lan was surprised and continued, "Our Little Miss Quimbey isn't even present for her fiance's birthday party. If we don't show up, that'll just be disrespectful to the Sheldons!" Nicole paused and instantly had mixed feelings.

She really wanted to turn around and leave. 'Ian Carter is such a fool! How could he not understand what it meant if Yvette didn't attend her fiance's birthday party?!'

Nicole cursed him a million times in her heart. She then saw Lance coming out as he talked and laughed with someone.

When Lance saw Nicole, he froze slightly and walked over with a smile.

"Ms. Stanton, thank you for coming over. I only have this honor because of Mr. Carter."

Nicole immediately regained her composure and politely joked with him.

"I came all the way here to wish you a happy birthday, Mr. Sheldon. Don't give credit to Mr. Carter."

lan laughed. "Right, we're all friends, so don't be polite, Mr. Sheldon."

Lance was mature and steady when he was networking. He immediately invited them in.

Many of the guests were people in the circle, so there were many familiar faces.

lan sighed. "Lance really has a hand in this. He's only been in West City for such a short time, but the people in the circle are already praising him."

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "Let's just sit and leave in a while. Don't mingle around too much."

She was afraid that they would mention Yvette and it would be awkward.

"What's the hurry? Is Clayton checking up on you? You gotta stand firm in your position!"

lan was disappointed that Nicole was spineless.

Nicole was speechless as she resisted an impulse to curse at lan.

"Nicole..." A mellow and deep voice came from behind that gave her a familiar complex feeling.

It was Eric Ferguson.

Nicole turned her head to the side and saw him standing there, looking at her with a cold and deep gaze.

Eric's look was deep and restrained.

lan also saw Eric and raised an eyebrow.

"What a coincidence! Mr. Ferguson is also here?"

Lance was quite respectable!

Eric's eyes were fixed on Nicole's body.

He walked over and forced a smile. There were many words he wanted to say to her, but he did not know where to start.

Eric knew of Nicole's every move.

However, the more he knew, the harder it was for him because every minute that Clayton was with her, Eric got so jealous that he almost went berserk.

Eric tried hard to forget Nicole but to no avail.

The more he tried to forget her, the more he remembered her.
