Chapter 369

Chapter 369 She’s My Girlfriend

Eric hooked his lips. “Because the invitation has been delivered to me.”

Nicole was speechless.

Her heart shook. Stanton Corporation and Ferguson Corporation both had a vested interest in this

project and were both evenly matched candidates.

There was no reason for Clayton Sloan to invite Ferguson Corporation and not Stanton Corporation.

‘Has Clayton already decided?’

Looking at Nicole’s glum face, Lil Michael immediately tugged at her sleeve.

“Pretty Lady, if you want to go, I can invite you…”

‘Anyway, it’s held by Daddy, so I can invite my friends too, right?

Eric looked at Lil Michael and thought,

What big talk…!

Nicole did not take it to heart thinking that Lil Michael was only being thoughtful to comfort her.

She smiled at the little charmer and looked at Eric with a clear, cold gaze.

“Mr. Ferguson, you’re here to show off then?”

Eric’s eyebrows knitted slightly. “I lack a female companion. You can…”

Nicole put down the teacup she was holding. “No need, I’ll think of other ways.”

Although being Eric’s female companion was the easiest solution, she would only be in a passive state

by then.

That was not what she wanted.

Nicole stood up. Lil Michael quickly took her hand. “Pretty Lady, I wanna go to your house to play…”

She stroked his little head. “Okay.”

Eric stood up and watched as Lil Michael jumped and pulled Nicole’s hand away.

He clenched his fists. A few strands of hair covered his cold, stern brow. The tender look on his face

faded and he had a moment of struggle.

At that moment, Eric really wanted to give Nicole the opportunity instead.

As soon as they went out, the bodyguard’s voice came through the miniature earphones in Lil Michael’s

ears.

“Young Master, it’s time to invite her to dinner. You can’t let a girl go hungry.”

Lil Michael nodded and smiled as he tugged on Nicole’s hand.

“Pretty Lady, let’s go for dinner before we go home, alright?”

“We can go home and I’ll get the maids to cook for you?”

“No, I wanna eat…” His eyes rolled around as he pondered. “Ice cream!”

Nicole could not help but laugh. ‘He’s really a little kid.’

“Okay.”

Her dull mood earlier was swept away as she accompanied this little charmer to fill up his belly.

Nicole took the boy to a newly opened gourmet restaurant nearby. The waiter came over to take their

order and could not help but look at Lil Michael a few more times.

“Miss, is he your brother? He’s so adorable!”

Lil Michael’s face turned glum and rolled his eyes as he corrected the lady. He said in a childish voice

that was pretending to be mature.

“I’m her friend, boyfriend!”

Although he called Nicole “Pretty Lady”, he intended for her to be his girlfriend!

Nicole chuckled. “Give him a kid’s meal and two parfaits please.”

Lil Michael let out a childish snort. His sapphire eyes looked so aggrieved.

“I don’t want a kid’s meal. I’m not a kid!”

Nicole could not help but laugh. “Then what do you want to eat, boyfriend?”

Lil Michael instantly blushed. He shyly squirmed and fidgeted with the corner of his little suit jacket. His

heart was leaping with excitement.

‘OMG! Pretty Lady is willing to be my girlfriend?!

“Ladies first. You decide!”

All he wanted was to grow up fast!

Nicole winked towards the waiter and went with the previous order.

The waiter instantly understood and thought, ‘This weird little kid is just so

cute!’

Nicole ate her parfait, while Lil Michael ate the rest of the meal. Since he was still a growing kid, he

wolfed down quite a lot of food.

After the meal, Nicole asked the waiter for the bill.

Lil Michael immediately stopped her. He said in a cute voice and with much swagger, “How can I let my

lady pay for the bill when you come out to eat with your boyfriend?”

Nicole looked in amazement as the little charmer rolled up his sleeve to reveal his custom-made

children’s watch which was branded “ROLEX”.

Her heart shook a little. Any watch from this brand was easily as expensive as her bag, not to mention a

custom-made one…

As soon as his watch front was aligned with the QR code, the waiter’s payment machine automatically

chimed, “You have successfully paid $790. Thank you.”

Lil Michael dropped his sleeve insouciantly.

It seemed that Michael’s father, who appeared at her doorstep yesterday, was no ordinary man!

“Michael, who’s your dad?”
