Chapter 338 Fall on Him
Nicole stood there, drew back her hand, and rolled her eyes at Eric.
“Hah! Mysterious guest? Had I known that Ferguson Corporation is investing in this program, I wouldn’t have given Niel that hundred million.”
What a waste! Eric raised his eyebrows and deliberately lowered his voice as if he was whispering to her.
“Then I’ll have him return it to you.” » ‘Who wants your stupid money!’ Nicole thought. Eric saw that she was ignoring him and coughed slightly.
“This is all arranged by the program team. You won’t be a spoilsport just because of our relationship, right?” Nicole glanced at him indifferently. She hooked her lips and said, “Sorry, Mr. Ferguson, you can’t influence me anymore.
Don’t be too presumptuous to get close to me, and don’t disturb me from making money… To sponsor young hunks!” Eric’s face stiffened slightly. The corners of his lips twitched, and he stopped speaking to her.
Even if he was angered by her words, he had no choice but to endure it since he was the one who asked in the first place. Everyone listened as the director explained the rules of the game, which was indeed much safer than the first episode.
The first game was to find the treasure map The treasure map was hidden in an abandoned factory. Nicole thought that Fall they probably chose this place to save on rent.
Eric was obviously a bit dissatisfied, but since this place was chosen long ago, it could not be changed. The factory had been cleaned, but it was still gloomy and somewhat eerie.
The grayish-white walls looked dilapidated. Tables and chairs were scattered everywhere, and the wind blew up some old curtains. It just looked like a haunted house.
There were three floors in this factory. Each team chose one floor and had to stick together when they swap floors later. Nathaniel and Fabian chose the first floor.
Nicole and Eric chose the second floor. Miles and Mikayla chose the third floor. When they went upstairs, Nicole and Eric walked behind Mikayla and Miles.
The environment was quite scary with some dark and humid places where the sun could not reach, creating some shadowed areas. Mikayla shuddered and followed Miles.
She looked so scared, weak, and pathetic. “It’s so scary! Nicole, aren’t you afraid?” ? If Mikayla was the only one who looked scared, she would seem pretentious.
Thus, she wanted to hear Nicole’s thoughts. Nicole pursed her lips. “What’s there to be afraid of? This place has been cleaned up by the program team, and there are cameras everywhere.”
Mikayla paused in her movements and reluctantly bit her lower lip. “It feels a bit like filming a horror movie. I ‘ve been afraid of ghosts since I was a kid.
Why are you so calm? Are you an atheist?” Nicole raised her eyebrows and said in a dull and clear voice, “When I was young, my father introduced me to Enlightenment ideas, and I have a minor in Marxism during my doctorate.
I don’t believe in ghosts and gods.” This sentence separated the two women. Mikayla pursed her lips and stopped talking Talking to Nicole was just self-abuse! Mikayla’s irrelevant fears were like a joke in front of Nicole’s theories.
Miles did not care about Mikayla and excitedly went to find the treasure map.
Eric was looking at Nicole with gentle eyes. He just felt happy with whatever came out of her mouth. When they got to the second floor, Nicole jumped up in a few steps
. Eric was just about to follow when he noticed the figure in front tilting back, falling on him.
Mikayla slipped and fell backward. “Help!” Eric frowned. If he dodged, Mikayla would have rolled down the stairs. In an instant, Eric did not hesitate to kick Mikayla in the back to save her life.
Mikayla went from almost falling down the stairs on her back to lying face-first on the ground, wailing in pain. That miserable cry once again attracted everyone’s attention.
Mikayla thought that Eric would come to her rescue and wanted to increase her chance of contact with Eric. As a result, she only got kicked in the back.
Needless to think, her little cocktail dress was ruined. Nicole and Miles rushed over when they heard her scream.
Nicole looked shocked and hurried over to help her up. “Are you okay?” Nathaniel had been listening to Nicole’s atheistic answer and saw everything clearly from downstairs.
At this point, he could not help but laugh out loud. a “Mikayla, it’s such a wide staircase, but you just had to fall on my uncle, huh?”
