The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss

Nicole glanced at Logan, who also looked
surprised, which meant that he was also
unaware of Eric Ferguson’s attendance.
The two of them looked at each other.
Nicole then walked in with a smile as she
looked at Gerard Lichman. She spoke
casually. “Is this a set-up?”
Gerard shrugged his shoulders. He
looked at Eric, then at Nicole.
“Vice President Nicole, I had no choice.
Please forgive me for being
presumptuous. Let me just clarify that I
will remain neutral and will never interfere
in the matters between you both. To
express my sincere apology, when you’re
done talking, I’ll bring you to visit our
newly established research lab. I’m sure
you’ll be very interested in it.”
‘Interested? Indeed.’ Nicole thought.
However, she still felt annoyed that she
had been deceived.
Nicole expressionlessly retracted her
gaze and looked at Eric with a slight
frown. “Mr. Ferguson, if this is because of
that pipe, there’s no need to waste your
breath.”
‘Will they ever stop pestering me? My
time is very precious, alright?’
“Nicole.” Eric looked at her with deep
eyes. After a pause, he continued, “I know
that my grandfather went to see you

today and said a lot of unpleasant things.
Don’t take it to heart.”
He knew that Nicole did not care for his
apology and that it was futile. A simple”sorry” could not wipe away all that he
owed her in the past three years.
Nicole lifted her eyes and thought that it
was strange because Eric seemed a little
weird today
“Is that all?” She was getting impatient.
Eric was silent for a second before he
spoke again. “That tobacco pipe is
useless to you. If you were just
deliberately trying to anger them, you’ve
already succeeded. After your anger has
subsided, please return it to my
grandfather. As I mentioned before, you
can state whatever conditions you like.”
The atmosphere was silent for a
moment. Nicole hooked her lips.
“Hah! When other methods didn’t work, he
decides to go down the emotional route?
His purpose is to get back the emerald
pipe. It looks like that stupid pipe is really important to them...’ Gerard could not help but crack a joke to break the silence.
“Whatever conditions? If she wants to get back together with you, are you willing to do so?” The other three people in the room
were stunned, and Logan could not help but subconsciously look at Eric. Eric’s eyes sank and he frowned slightly. The
atmosphere was silent and still. Just when Gerard regretted saying this, Nicole let out a light laugh. Her voice was clear, cold,
and indifferent. “Get back together? There’s no need to assume because it’ll never happen in this
life. Someone like Mr. Ferguson should
marry someone from the same social

status. Why would he compromise on his own marriage?” Eric’s brow was tightly knitted when he heard this and wanted to say
something, but Nicole continued, “But...” She paused and hooked her lips into a faint smile. “But if you must have this emerald
pipe, the conditions can still be negotiated.” Nicole seemed to have thought of a perfect condition. Eric raised his head. “What is
it?” It seemed that he would agree to whatever she requested. Nicole swept a glance at Gerard. “Can we have the room?”
Gerard froze. “Of course.”
He straightened his tie and walked out without hesitation. Whenever Eric and Nicole were in the same space, the atmosphere
was extraordinarily awkward. If Eric did not force him to invite Nicole to dinner in his name, he was very reluctant to put these
two exes together because he did not know how to deal with these majesties.
After all, Gerard did not want Eric and
Nicole’s problem to affect their three-way
cooperation.
Logan was also sensible to leave the
room.
With only the two of them left in the
room, Eric waited silently for Nicole to
speak, but she did not seem to be in any
hurry.
When Eric heard Gerard’s proposal of
remarrying Nicole, he surprisingly did not
feel like it was an absurd idea. Anyway,
they had been married once, so he did
not mind getting married to her the
second time. If they were to get back
together, he would treat her better too.
However, Nicole was not willing. Nicole
walked to the sofa on the side and sat
down, then picked up a box of cigarettes
on the table and skilfully lit one. She
gently inhaled and exhaled a beautiful
smoke ring. Seeing her slender fingers
holding a cigarette, Eric felt a little

uncomfortable, but she did so with such
grace and charm.
Eric’s eyes sank slightly. “You actually
learned to smoke?”
In his impression, Nicole was a gentle
and well-behaved woman that did not
have any bad habits.
However, the woman in front of him
looked so skilled and natural in her
movements that showed that she had
been smoking for quite some time now,
yet he was not aware.
Looking at Eric’s surprised face, Nicole
smiled. Her smoking hand tapped lightly o
in the sofa. “Yes, I learned it three years
ago.”
Three years ago was when they just got
married.
In other words, she had learned to smoke
at the beginning of their marriage.
