The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 571 This Disgusting Name

Gerard Lichman looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window speechlessly. His chest felt stuffy, and he felt so aggrieved!

He had no choice but to take the blame for Eric's orders.

Nicole received a call from Eric when she was on the way back to the office.

She wanted to hang up the call, but on second thought, she picked it up.

"Mr. Ferguson, what's the matter?"

Eric's voice was mellow and light. He was obviously in an uncontainable good mood.

Even if their fling was not made public, their relationship was still more than ordinary friends, so sooner or later, they would get back together.

"1 just found out about what Gerard Lichman did. He's too much. As a director of J&L Corporation, I didn't even know anything about it. I've already issued a stern warning, so don't worry. It won't delay the progress of the project."

Nicole was silent for several seconds before she snorted.

"So, do you take me for a fool?"

Gerard Lichman would not have the guts to delay the project, so he must have been instructed by someone!

Eric was silent for a while. He then asked with feigned surprise. "What do you mean? Did you think that I ordered Gerard to do this? How could I do such an unscrupulous thing?"

He could not help but feel tense. If Nicole was really angry, their relationship would revert back to square one in an instant.

Eric would not be able to accept it.

He was apprehensive.

Every second she hesitated was like torture as if someone was cutting into his heart.

Finally, she let out a cold laugh. Her voice was clear and cold.

"Eric Ferguson, you really refreshed my understanding of you."

When she was just about to hang up, Eric anxiously shouted, "Honey, wait a minute..."

Nicole frowned and paused in her movements.

'Did I just go deaf? Was I hallucinating? What the hell did I just hear?!'

"Eric Ferguson, please be normal for once. I don't want to hear that word coming from you again!"

'What bullsh*t honey?! How is such a disgusting address even appropriate between us?!'

Nicole was speechless.

Eric let out a low chuckle over the phone. "You don't like it? I can come up with another one."

Nicole did not say anything.

He thought about it for two seconds and said, "How about baby?"

Toto said that the first step to improving their relationship was to give each other an intimate nickname.

He would prefer to call her "wifey", but he knew very well that Nicole would obliterate him.

'Aren't all couples nowadays so clingy anyway?'

In the past, Eric thought that it was disgustingly childish, but now, he only thought that it was sweet.

He even wanted to be sweeter with her.

Eric also began to consider what to name their children.

Nicole was silent for a full minute. Her high heels against the floor echoed in an empty space that was most likely an underground garage. Hearing this nickname, her face turned green. 'WTF!'

Nicole began to regret agreeing to give Eric a chance. Even if it was just for show, she could not stand it.

Eric did not hear a response and thought that she was still dissatisfied.

"How about babe then?" He proposed again.

Although "babe" might not be as intimate as "baby", it was still better than nothing.

He spun the pen worth tens of thousands of dollars in his hand. He could not hide his excited mood.

The sound of Nicole's footsteps stopped as she got into the elevator.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you need me to make an appointment with a psychiatrist for you?"

Eric let out a deep laugh. "It's a heart disease that only you can cure..." 1

'F*ck!' Nicole could not stand it any longer and hung up on him.

'This son of a b*tch really has a way with words when he decides to be flirtatious.'

Very few people could remain unmoved.

Nicole felt that her ears were hot. She did not want her heart to be shaken by his sweet talk.

'Was I not cruel enough to him last time? He was clearly on the verge of tears though...'
