The Deserted Rich Beauty

The tatami was spacious and the lighting in the room was perfect.
Nicole pushed Eric's wheelchair over as she thought t o herself, 'He really has so many problems! "What else do you need?"
Eric said, "I don't wanna sit here.I wanna sit over there.It's more comfortable there."
He did not want to be in a wheelchair.
Nicole paused and frowned, then told him frankly, "I can't lift you."
Not unless he wanted to be disabled for life! Nicole thought that Eric was deliberately being nitpicky.
Eric helplessly propped himself up on the wheelchair and made a gesture to stand up.
All his strength was concentrated on his left leg He wanted to move over a little, but a small action like this caused sweat to seep
from his forehead.
Nicole frowned tightly.
Her reflexes were faster than her thoughts as she lunged forward to support the man who was about to fall.
All of his weight was pressed on her.
Her thin waist tightened as her breathing grew heavy.
When she looked to the side, she saw Eric's guilty eyes.
The reproachful words that were at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down her throat.
He would not have ended up like this if it were not to save her.
She knew that she was being too petty.
Thus, Nicole could only support him silently.
The pleasant scent of mint on his body enveloped her.
She used all her strength to carefully place him on the tatami, taking care not to touch his right leg.

Once Eric sat down, the both of them were sweating profusely.
Even though Eric’s face was pale, his gaze was gentle and soft.
Nicole frowned.
"Tell me which files and laptop you need."
Eric's hand landed on her wrist before she could turn around.
"No need.Watch a movie with me."
His other hand reached for the remote control.
With the press of a button, the surrounding light dimmed, and the curtains closed automatically.
A large screen rolled down on the opposite wall.
Nicole froze for a moment and almost exploded.
‘He went through all that trouble to sit on the tatami just to watch a movie?! She turned around to glare at him.
"Eric Ferguson, you're sick!"
Nicole could not stand it anymore.
Eric's expression was indolent.
His eyes were somewhat innocent.
"But I am..." Nicole sneered and yanked her hand away.
"Watch it b y yourself."
Eric said, "Let's watch it together.The doctor said that I need to be relaxed and happy to recover quickly!"
Nicole's footsteps paused.
‘Damn it! Did the doctor say that?’ Eric handed her the remote control.

"You can pick the movie."
He still remembered that Nicole was not satisfied with the horror film he picked the last time.
Nicole took the remote control speechlessly.
‘Forget it.I'll just bear with him."
There were the latest and even upcoming releases in the library.
It was pretty impressive, but on second thought, it made sense because he invested in those films.
Nicole scrolled through the list before picking a literary film titled "The Peaceful Night".
She tossed the remote control to the side and sat on the other end of the tatami.
The distance between Eric and her could fit two other people.
Eric's eyebrows were relaxed, and his smile was light.
He was already very delighted to have this moment with Nicole.
Nicole leaned against the armrest and hugged a pillow with a light and pleasant smile.She looked at the synopsis of the film.
Fabian was part of the cast.
Although he was the supporting male lead, he still managed to attract everyone's attention.She watched the movie carefully.
When she noticed the gaze from across the room, she could not hold back and glared back at him fiercely.
"Aren't you gonna watch?"
Eric calmly withdrew his gaze with a trace of guilt.
He saw Fabian just as he looked at the large screen.He instantly felt a little stuffy in his chest.
Eric simply closed his eyes and listened to her shallow breathing.
More than an hour passed, and Nicole was close to dozing off.

When she turned her head, she saw that Eric had already fallen asleep.His arms were folded.His brows slightly sunken and
furrowed, and his face was pale.
Even so, it did not conceal the coldness and sharpness of his features.
Nicole rolled her eyes.
'He wanted to watch a movie, but he ended up sleeping.."
She was no longer in the mood to continue watching, so she silently walked out barefooted to get herself a glass of milk, careful
not to make a noise.
Her bodyguard had been standing outside.
Nicole nodded and made a shushing gesture before going downstairs barefooted.It was dimly lit downstairs.
Perhaps no one was around.
Just as Nicole got to the kitchen, she suddenly heard someone whispering on the phone.
"Yes, they went upstairs right after dinner.They've been up there for more than an hour.Who knows what they're up to..."
