Chapter 34: Only as friends
The award ceremony was over.
Eric sat in the car heading to the company.
In his hand was a heavy piece of information on what was once the Scott Group, which had officially changed its name to the sky.
At the end of the file was a repayment statement.
Eric narrowed his eyes and swiped his finger over the number.
Assistant Brown sat in the passenger seat and reported in a low voice, “Mr. Miller, after the Scott family went bankrupt, Cindy’s debts have all been taken over by the company, in other words, you are now her debtor.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Eric casually waved the bill aside.
What lingers in his mind is the look on Cindy’s face that day at the wedding, when she unwrapped that fake pendant, and the look on her face just now at the podium, when she almost said yes to Noman.
Two faces, all unfamiliar and unknowable to him.
“You know what to do.”
“Yes, Mr. Miller, I will arrange it immediately.”
The man slowly closed his eyes, his fingers tapping his knee one after another, he would let Cindy understand that it was always his call.
…
The audience outside is almost gone, only the reporters are still waiting outside.
Cindy sat in the dressing room for a long time, looking over and over at the debt collection messages she received on her phone, scratching her hair anxiously.
Thinking about the huge amount of money, Cindy couldn’t raise her strength at all, and the joy of winning the championship just now disappeared without a trace.
The phone rang once again.
It was a call from Peter.
“Cindy, we’re leaving for the restaurant, come out quickly, Noman is treating us to Milo SUN today, we have to give him a good meal.”
Cindy put down her phone and moved out to join them.
The restaurant is very famous, and the general public cannot afford to spend, and only some celebrities will go in and out.
Cindy had been there once before with Eric, but only that once.
When they arrived at the entrance, they saw the European-style building glowing in the night.
“Wow, how much does a meal cost at this place?”
“Gee, there’s a spa hotel upstairs! Thanks to Mr. Jones’ treating.”
Several young men in the team crowded into the elevator with great enthusiasm, but the elevator was overloaded, leaving Noman and Cindy alone.
The elevator door closed and the atmosphere was instantly quiet.
After a while, Noman turned around and stared at her, “I didn’t plan well this time, next time, I won’t let you have a chance to escape, this ring, you keep it for me first, okay?”
He yanked Cindy’s hand and shoved the ring into her hand.
Cindy stared, “Noman, you know what I mean.”
“You’re afraid I’ll make a fool of me and save face.” Noman lowered her head and smiled to herself, “So, if it had been Eric who proposed to you on stage, would you have turned him down like that too?”
Cindy heard the revolting words and couldn’t help but chill her tone, “You still don’t get my point, I …”
“Well, don’t embarrass me so much, just think of it as you keeping something for me, between friends, you wouldn’t refuse this little favor, right?”
He said, the afterglow glanced at a figure in the doorway.
Is it really such a coincidence?
Everywhere he and Cindy went, they ran into Eric.
Noman took Cindy’s hand directly, “Let’s go, we have to hurry up, otherwise, they will order a table full of food, and I’m afraid I won’t have enough money on my card to pay for it tonight.”
Cindy didn’t have time to say anything, the elevator door had already closed.
At the door, Eric had just gotten out of his car and gotten some light rain.
He had asked his partner to come over here to talk about something, and only when he entered, did he witness such a good show.
Eric frowned, even the doorman could see his displeasure.
Assistant Brown pushed through the low pressure and came forward, “Mr. Miller, Mr. Davis is in the Omega Room on the third floor.”
” Well.”
Eric answered coldly and walked into the elevator.
When he passed by Noman’s room, Eric’s footsteps stopped half a beat, because he clearly heard the sound of coaxing coming from the room.
“Noman, Cindy, you two must punish yourself, secret love affair? You’ve been lying to us for so long!”
Cindy gave Noman a direct push, “Explain yourself!”
Noman muttered, “Explain what? What’s there to explain? I just like Cindy, I’ll get her sooner or later!”
“You …” Cindy was furious and raised her leg to kick him.
“Okay, okay.” Noman playfully hugged her thighs directly, moving with unconscious intimacy, “I’m going to the bathroom!”
Everyone outspokenly winked at each other, as if the relationship between the two was clear.
The door of the box was just pulled open, Noman just turned a corner, and then he bumped into a familiar figure.
He froze and then snorted.
