The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 548 He’s Jealous

Clayton did not take Floyd's words to heart.

He swept a glance at Nicole with a gentle gaze and continued to answer Floyd's question.

Floyd said, "Since you're friends with Nicole, you can scout around for a suitable partner for her. I can't be assured if she stays single forever."

He laughed heartily, but even Grant's fingers froze for a moment.

Grant slowly picked at a slice of fish with his fork and savored it without a word.

Clayton laughed naturally. "Ms. Stanton's an excellent lady, so she's not short of admirers, but those who can match Ms. Stanton are very rare. I see that Ms. Stanton enjoys her life with her family. Chairman Stanton, you must've treated her like a princess, so no one can be as attentive to her as her family."

Floyd raised his eyebrows and wholeheartedly agreed with Clayton's words.

He was extremely delighted with what Clayton said.

Floyd nodded repeatedly. "Yes, that's true. Our whole family lets Nicole get her way. We're happy when she's happy."

This statement undoubtedly hinted at Nicole's steady position as the heir of Stanton Corporation.

Grant did not even raise his head and did not care about this matter.

Nicole also did not bother and concentrated on eating the fish.

They were really siblings because the way they ate was the same.

The cordial and relaxed atmosphere between the Stantons was so different from ordinary affluent families. There was a very rare harmony and beauty to it.

Clayton lowered his eyes and smiled, then continued to converse with Floyd.

Eric Ferguson was sitting in his car at Stanton Corporation's entrance. He had been waiting to meet Nicole "coincidentally".

Not long after, he received a message from Keith.

It was a picture of Floyd, Grant, and Nicole having dinner with Clayton Sloan.

The scene was surprisingly cheerful and relaxed.

Floyd, as an elder, had a smile that did not hide his fondness for Clayton.

They really looked so harmonious together.

[Keith Ludwig: Ferg, he's already meeting the parents, but you're still in the same spot. Why don't I introduce you to other women?] 'Meet the parents?' Eric's face instantly turned gloomy. His hands that were on the steering wheel clenched tightly.

His expression was very cold.

At that moment, anger and jealousy intertwined and surged in his heart, which almost made him lose control. He wanted to go over and snatch Nicole away.

His heart suddenly jumped, and he had the idea of keeping her hidden just for himself.

Otherwise, the other men by her side were just an eyesore to him.

Even after pretending to be a gentleman for so long, there was no way that a wolf in sheep's clothing could actually become a gentle sheep.

Eric's wolfish nature did not allow him to sit back and watch.

Toto's lapdog approach was completely useless on Nicole. If Eric continued that act, Nicole might just get a marriage license with someone else without his knowledge. 'No, I can't wait any longer!'

Eric sent a text message to Nicole and went to wait for her at her apartment.

He knew that she would come.

After Nicole was done with dinner, she glanced at her phone and saw a text message from Eric Ferguson an hour ago.

[You left your flash drive in Imperial Gardens. I'm waiting for you at your apartment.]

Nicole pondered suspiciously. 'Did I leave my flash drive behind? How come I didn't notice before?'

Thinking that there was probably some sensitive company information in there, she did not want it to be in the hands of outsiders.

Nicole bid goodbye to the rest and left early.

Even though she had not been to her apartment in a long time, a cleaner would come over every day to make sure that everything was in order.

'What the hell is Eric up to? Why did he have to meet here?'

After entering her neighborhood, Nicole saw a familiar Range Rover parked downstairs from a distance. The headlights flashed and a slender arm was casually leaning out the car window with a lit cigarette in between his fingers.

She recognized that it was Eric.

His side profile was cold, and his temperament was somewhat casual and unrestrained.

The car was parked in the empty space next to her.

When Nicole took the gift that Lil Michael gave her and got out of her car, she was pulled into a cold embrace from behind. Eric's tobacco scent and aggressiveness made Nicole's body stiffen.
