Chapter 710

The night was dark, like a block of ink that could not be melted.

Eric looked at Nicole in silence for a while.

His voice was deep as he said, “The cost of this project is too high. If you want to cross over to real

estate, you might as well choose some good projects first…”

Nicole’s face was indifferent. Her tone carried a nonchalant light laugh.

“Mr. Ferguson, no prominent negotiator will use ’you’re still young’ as their starting argument. Your ploys

won’t work on me. I must get this project.”

Eric’s eyes deepened for a moment.

He had underestimated Nicole.

Eric had never been able to see through Nicole. Since their divorce, he felt that Nicole was completely

out of his control.

The obsequious woman in his impression now had the ability to challenge the entire Ferguson

Corporation.

Eric was silent for a moment. His voice sank as he said, ” This is about Ferguson Corporation’s

development, so I won’t give way.”

’But if she really wants it, it’s not impossible…’ Eric’s heart was faltering.

Nicole raised her eyebrows. “I won’t give in either. Let’s just go by our abilities.”

After that, Logan jogged to hand over Nicole’s coat to her.

“President Nicole… Mr. Ferguson?”

Nicole was quick to take off Eric’s coat and threw it back to him. Logan had the good sense to drape her

coat over her shoulders so that Nicole did not have to lift a finger. Eric’s eyes instantly narrowed when he

saw such an intimate action, His heart clenched. His hawk-like cold eyes glared at Logan.

With just one glance, Logan felt a chill that was colder than the current weather. Logan shivered.

Eric shifted his gaze back to Nicole. His voice suddenly became gentler. “It’s not like there’s no room for

cooperation for this project.”

It was not like they had not cooperated before. Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation always

worked well together. Nicole smiled perfunctorily. It was clear that socializing tonight made her a little

tired.

”Let’s not think about cooperation. Stanton Corporation’s ability is not yet so compromised.”

Even if it was not a success, Stanton Corporation could still afford to lose, so who was he looking down

on?

Nicole was annoyed.

The cooperation between their companies in the J&L Corporation project was already in the limelight.

If they continued to work on this real estate project together, Stanton Corporation and Ferguson

Corporation would be in too close a relationship that their interests would be too entangled, which was

not a good thing. Logan could only interrupt their conversation when he saw Floyd’s text message urging

them to come back. “Ms. Stanton, it’s time to go home.”

Nicole nodded. Her driver stopped the car in front of her.

Logan went over to open the door for Nicole to get inside. He then sat on the other side of the backseat.

Before the car started, the door on Nicole’s side suddenly opened. Eric’s gloomy face reappeared.

The cold wind blew into the car at once. Everyone in the car was startled.

Nicole asked, “Is there something else?”

Eric pursed his lips. His clear brow bones were tightly wrinkled as he hesitated for a few seconds. His

voice was extremely gentle as he said, “Goodnight, Nicole.”

Nicole took a deep breath. “Get lost.”

Eric closed the car door. He swept a glance at Logan, who was sitting next to Nicole.

Any man that appeared next to Nicole made Eric feel unhappy.

However, Eric had no right to interfere now.

Eric stood there and watched as her car drove away in a flash. He secretly thought, ’After Nicole marries

me, I must get her a female assistant!’

At this moment, Mitchell and the driver came over to pick Eric up.

Mitchell sat on the passenger side. He got out of the car and opened the door in one fluid motion.

Eric nodded in satisfaction. An excellent assistant would always recognize his position.

In the car.

Mitchell saw that Eric seemed quite satisfied, so he thought that Eric was successful in taking the project.

”President, did you land the project?” Eric replied, ”No.”

Mitchell nodded awkwardly.

The conversation was dead.

Eric suddenly spoke, ”Do you have enough money to spend? I’ll give you a pay raise!”

Mitchell was speechless.
