The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 709 The Same People

Nicole was a little surprised. The project was proposed in secret, so only she, Grant, and Jacob Cook knew about it. Therefore, it was impossible for a word to get out.

'Why did Eric want this project too? How could there be such a coincidence?'

Eric's handsome face was cold as he curled the corners of his lips into a wide smile. His eyes were deep and dark.

"Yes. I also didn't know until now that we're eyeing the same project."

For a while, the atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

Mr. Lewis' face stiffened. "Turns out you guys didn't discuss it?"

How awkward.

Nicole laughed casually and frankly. "It's okay. No matter who ends up with the project, it's still worth a celebration."

Eric shook the wine glass in front of him. His eyes were dim and bottomless.

Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation were both second to none. They were evenly matched in their background and strength.

Any one of them taking on this project would be easy.

However, what happens if both of them want it?

How did this lousy project suddenly become a hot commodity?

When Nicole met Eric's gaze, the two of them felt each other's resolution.

None of them was willing to compromise.

The dinner continued, but the conversation was no longer related to the project. Afterward, they sent someone to send Mr. Lewis back.

Since they could not get the project immediately, Stanton Corporation and Ferguson Corporation were bound to fight for it.

Mr. Lewis was naturally very relaxed because he no longer had to worry about not replaceing a buyer for this hot potato in his hands. After dinner.

It was very cold outside. The harsh wind scraped their faces.

Nicole left her jacket in the private room, so Logan went back to get it.

She stood at the entrance waiting, looking tall and slender. Her face was expressionless, beautiful, and cold.

There was no doubt that Eric's appearance ruined her plan. Originally, getting the project was not a difficult task. The real difficulty was in the implementation. However, Eric's involvement in this made her stumble at the first step.

How could her heart stay calm?

She was still torn about what to do next when she heard footsteps behind her.

It might be Yu Lou.

The next second, a warm coat draped over her body. The warm, tea fragrance instantly wrapped around her and interrupted her thoughts.

Nicole frowned and knew in an instant who the person behind her was.

She turned her head sideways and saw Eric Ferguson.

The light of the doorway made Eric's silhouette look deep, exquisite, and flawless.

Eric was always good-looking, and that face could deceive everyone.

Without a word, Nicole removed the coat. It was obvious that she did not want anything to do with him.

However, Eric stopped her movement and squeezed her wrist. His eyes were gloomy.

"It's cold. Put it on."

His words were brief and concise.

Nicole raised her eyes, drew back her hand, and did not move again. Instead, she laughed.

"Mr. Ferguson, it's surprising that you're such a gentleman."

He was someone who would not even blink when he saw people freezing to death.

'Heh...'

Eric heard her sarcasm. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he changed the topic.

"Why did you think of investing in real estate?"

This was also unexpected for him.

Nicole asked, "What about you?"

Eric lowered his eyes that had a sudden joy in them.

"Those who dare to take risks are the ones who will win in a precarious situation."

As soon as they looked at each other, Eric could see that he and Nicole were the same kind of people.

They were not landlords who clung to their capital. They were pioneering risk-takers.

At that moment, his heart was ecstatic because the woman he liked turned out to be the same as him.

Nicole pursed her lips. "There's also the possibility of losing everything."
