The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 879 You're Not Welcomed

Eric's back was firm and despondent as if he was rejecting people from a thousand miles away.

He really had not changed at all.

Old Master Ferguson was already in his twilight years. Although he could not be compared to Eric, his power was still there.

Trying to attack someone stronger than oneself would only bring about one's own destruction.

The glass in Clayton's hand gently touched Nicole's, his smile gentle and light.

"What are you thinking about? I didn't expect Mr.

Ferguson to turn the tide like this. He won beautifully."

Nicole looked away. The resplendent and magnificent hall did not drive away the lonely figure in her mind.

She tried to make herself indifferent.

Her tone also became relaxed.

"Yes, it was really unexpected."

She knew that Eric would not lose, but she did not expect him to win so thoroughly.

"Nicole, do you feel sorry for him?"

Nicole froze and turned her head to look at Clayton.

Clayton pursed his lips as his expression became

slightly complicated.

"Although Mr. Ferguson was unharmed, it's clear that he was deserted by his family. Do you sympathize with him?"

He asked as if he really wanted to know the answer.

Nicole blinked and spoke in a clear and indifferent tone.

"I'm quite happy about Old Master Ferguson's fate, but that doesn't mean I'm on the same battlefield as Eric."

A feeling like sympathy should only be for the weak.

Was Eric weak?

Clayton was visibly relieved. His smile was soft and warm.

"That's good, or I'll really be jealous."

He looked away as if nothing had happened, but Nicole gave him a sideways glance.

That last sentence made her a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, he did not continue.

There would not be anything more exciting happening next.

Just as Nicole was planning to leave early, she suddenly saw Asher walking over.

He held a glass of wine and looked at Nicole with a smile on his face.

"I thought I saw wrongly, but it's really you, Annie!"

Annie was a nickname given to her by Asher based on her middle name "Ann" when Nicole was in Cyndro International.

Although Nicole never liked this nickname, Asher was her boss at that time, so he had the final say.

Nicole smiled. "It's been a long time, Mr. Sullivan. I really didn't expect to see you here."

Asher said, "If you missed me, you could've come to me, but you never even called me."

Nicole said, "That means I didn't miss you enough."

Asher was speechless.

To the side, Clayton was a little surprised. "You two are acquainted?"

Nicole nodded, not wanting to talk about her time abroad since it was too much trouble to explain.

On the contrary, Asher smiled. "We're old friends. Mr. Sloan, I've heard a lot about you. Many of my friends i n Liberty have introduced you to me, but I never found an opportunity to meet you. What a pleasant surprise!"

Asher and Clayton shook hands politely and then let go.

"You're very polite, Mr. Sullivan. It's indeed a pleasant surprise to meet here."

After all, the circle was only so big. Anyone who was just a little famous would be talked about, and people would never refuse connections and benefits that were sent to their door.

They finished exchanging pleasantries.

Asher looked at Nicole, loosened his tie, and smiled affectionately.

"Annie, we haven't seen each other for so long. Let's replace a place where we can catch up."

Nicole's mouth stiffened slightly. "We don't have that much to catch up on." 3

On her face, the words "you're not welcomed" seemed to be written plainly.

To be honest, although Asher taught her many things, they were not on the same page in some ways.

Asher hesitated for a moment and smiled. "Which company do you work for now? Maybe you can cooperate with us at Cyndro International?”
