The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 652 Dislike

Clayton Sloan was needed the most in such a meeting, but he was absent.

The meeting room was well heated, but a light chill could still be felt.

Gerard Lichman smiled. "Mr. Sloan is still abroad and can't attend the meeting. We'll send him a copy of the minutes afterward."

Nicole frowned but did not say anything. She took a seat and looked at the prepared materials.

Eric tried very hard not to look at her, but his gaze still landed on her anyway.

Nicole was like a gravitational vortex that Eric could not ignore. He would want to see her from time to time.

When Eric heard her mention Clayton, he could not help but sneer.

'He should be abroad now trying to salvage the project ... He deserves it because I dislike the way he's hovering around Nicole.'

Listening to Gerard's report, Eric's cold and solemn attitude made others feel more pressured.

Gerard looked at those two people who did not communicate with each other and felt apprehensive. Every meeting was like a psychological war.

Finally, the arduous meeting was adjourned.

Gerard coughed slightly. "This project will still continue at the end of the year. The research for our psychological testing device has reached the final stage. I was thinking that we should take advantage of the New Year to launch this new project."

Nicole said, "We haven't tried it yet, and it hasn't been tested, so it's more prone to a total loss if something goes wrong when it's launched to the market prematurely."

Eric did not say anything, which meant that he acquiesced to Nicole's opinion.

Gerard wrinkled his eyebrows. "But this project is already very mature. A regular polygraph that's used in the police station is the most low-level psychological testing equipment. What we are researching now is hundreds of times more advanced than the polygraph!"

Nicole's voice was dull. "What's the rush, Mr.

Eichman? Why can't we wait until after the New Year?"

Why did he want to create more work for everyone at this time?

Gerard stroked his forehead and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Ms. Stanton, you sure are bold. Everything can be left aside until after the New Year and until you've had dinner, right? You..."

Eric interrupted Gerard in an icy voice. "Gerard, watch your words. Who do you think you're lecturing?"

Gerard shut up in an instant.

Looking at Nicole's indifferent face, Gerard's complexion changed slightly. He suddenly regretted speaking out of turn.

Nicole was not someone he could snark at.

Gerard pursed his lips. "I'm sorry. I unconsciously got too carried away because I was just talking with some friends abroad recently about some of the conventions and habits of us Medianians. In Mediania, the New Year is indeed an important holiday, but globally, it's just a regular day. The fact that our research bore results earlier than others means that we have the upper hand to set the direction for this industry in the international arena. Now, Liberty is also going into the same research direction as us, so in case..."

Gerard stopped mid-sentence. He clearly got some news and seemed a little anxious.

Nicole did not look angry and faintly hooked her lips.

"Mr. Lichman, we shouldn't jump the gun. Even if we do launch first, we'll end up being a laughing stock if we make a mistake."

Gerard frowned and looked at Eric.

Eric's brow was sunken as if he was in deep thought.

Three seconds later, Eric agreed with Nicole.

"It must go through at least thousands of experiments before it can be released on the market."

When something new got released to the market, it would need to withstand the public's questions and tests to prove its real strength.

They should not rush to launch just because they wanted to be the first globally.

Gerard's eyebrows twitched. He sighed helplessly and could only agree.

"Then, would you two like to experience the psychological treatment process for yourselves?"
