When Nicole heard snazzynovel.com name, snazzynovel.com froze for a moment. She did not want to have anything to do with Eric Ferguson, but this situation was out of snazzynovel.com control and snazzynovel.com felt everyone’s eyes on snazzynovel.com at this moment.
The awkward relationship between them after their divorce added to the mystery of this coincidental cooperation.
Eric also did not expect this. Without a doubt, this was Gerard’s doing.
Nicole was still in a pickle when Eric walked to her. He was exuding a cool aura as snazzynovel.com bent slightly and reached out, inviting Nicole to the dance floor.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the pair.
There was no way Nicole could reject Eric’s invitation because snazzynovel.com did not want to leave a negative impact at the beginning of their three-way cooperation.
Grant gave his baby sister a heartfelt look. Nicole smiled faintly, then stretched out snazzynovel.com hand to take Eric’s.
The people in front of them consciously made way for the pair. Nicole carried snazzynovel.com dress with snazzynovel.com other hand and walked forward without looking at Eric. Eric’s palm was slightly cold. At that moment, snazzynovel.com suddenly realized that in their three years of marriage, they had never held a wedding ceremony and snazzynovel.com had never taken the initiative to hold snazzynovel.com hand. This was the first time they held hands.
Nicole’s fingers were long and beautiful, like a work of art. Her hand was warm and delicate, and snazzynovel.com immediately etched this feeling in his heart.
The band began the next song at the right time. The refreshing and cheerful music echoed in the banquet hall.
The moment Nicole’s hand landed on Eric’s shoulder, their eyes met momentarily. Eric’s dark and deep gaze was affixed to snazzynovel.com face. When his hand rested on snazzynovel.com slim waist, Nicole’s body stiffened for a moment as snazzynovel.com felt very uncomfortable.
The two of them had never been this close in their three years of marriage. Being here like this after the divorce was also really unexpected.
Nicole merely took a few seconds to regain snazzynovel.com composure. She then put a fake and indifferent smile on snazzynovel.com face.
Their good footwork, confident posture, and humility, completely captured the audience’s eyes while the music from the center of the stage drowned out their conversation.
“Can’t dance, huh? “ The man’s deep and clear voice was very seductive.
Nicole raised an eyebrow. “Depends on the person. “ She was straightforward and unforgiving.
Eric’s eyes sank imperceptibly. The two of them moved back and forth. The music took a steep turn and the rhythm gradually quickened. The man tightened his grip on snazzynovel.com hand and snazzynovel.com slender waist.
“Why didn’t I know that you know how to do business? Is it Stanton Corporation’s idea to cooperate with Gerard Lichman, or is it yours?“
Nicole did a graceful turn and the two came together again.
“There’s a lot you’re not aware of, and I don’t have to tell you anything.“ The corners of snazzynovel.com lip curled up gently with a hint of mockery.
In their three years of marriage, snazzynovel.com never thought to understand snazzynovel.com as his wife, so what was the point of telling snazzynovel.com anything after their divorce?
To him, Nicole was just a passing character in the past three years, but for Nicole, this was an unforgettable lesson.
The light shone on the pair. Eric was as handsome as usual. His tall upright built made every woman marvel at him. Nicole’s dress swayed with every step snazzynovel.com took. Her graceful posture and snazzynovel.com striking features stunned the crowd. If time froze at this moment, one could see the people in the hall gasp collectively.
All eyes were on these two people. Their movements clearly matched tacitly, but the pair had no intention for interaction.
To be precise, Nicole had no intention of dealing with Eric. She only wished for this song to finish quickly because being so close to Eric Ferguson made snazzynovel.com very uncomfortable.
Eric’s gaze felt like thorns on snazzynovel.com face as snazzynovel.com quietly inspected her. The music took a turn into the final section.
Eric leaned his body forward while Nicole took a step back and lifted snazzynovel.com head to end the dance. Her long and slender neck curved delicately. When the song was about to end, Nicole subconsciously straightened snazzynovel.com back, but snazzynovel.com did not expect Eric not to take a step back.
Their lips unexpectedly touched. One was soft and delicate, and the other was cold and thin.
The last note dragged on before it stopped abruptly as if it reflected the freezing of time at this moment…
