Chapter 26 (Part One)
Eric was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support Nicole, "Miss Lin Miss Lin?"
Nicole was unconscious for a moment. All she could feel was darkness in front of her. Then she fell down and her mind was blank. A few seconds later, she came back to her senses and indistinctly heard someone shouting at her, and her body seemed to be supported in a man's arms.
Nicole wanted to wake up. Her sleepiness was heavy and she was weak, and she couldn't control herself on her own. It was not until Eric helped Nicole into the room that she came to her senses. The moment she looked up, she saw Eric holding her in his arms, and Eric's expression seemed to be very worried.
Nicole grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, "Mr. Eric, put me down."
Eric still held her in his arms and sat down on the sofa. With one hand on her forehead, Nicole shook her head to regain some strength, but she still felt dizzy and dazzled.
Eric asked Nicole with concern, "Are you okay?"
Nicole held her head and didn't answer.
Eric reached out his hand and gently touched Nicole's forehead. He was startled by the touch, because it was very hot. Eric frowned and said, "You have a fever and it's serious. Let me take you to the hospital!"
Nicole shook her hand and said weakly, "I'm fine. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."
"The doctor has prescribed you some cold medicines, but they don't work well. You have a high fever. You'd better go and have a check."
Nicole still didn't want to bother Eric, so she said, "I'm very healthy. I used to catch a cold and have a fever, and I drank more water. I would be fine after a sleep. No matter how serious it is, I can still recover after taking some medicine..."
Eric was worried and wanted to persuade Nicole. Nicole suddenly put down her hand, looked at Eric weakly but firmly, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Eric.... It's too late. I really don't want to bother you. I know my body. I'll be fine after a sleep. I will go to the hospital tomorrow. Don't worry. You should go home early..."
Eric had no choice but to close his mouth. Although he was worried about her, it was not appropriate for him to stay any longer. So he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll tell Miss Li that you can ask for leave tomorrow. Remember to see the doctor and go to bed early."
Nicole nodded. Eric looked at her for a few more times and finally said goodbye. Nicole couldn't send him to the door and apologized. After comforting her for a while, Eric closed the door and left.
Nicole put her hand on her forehead again. The night was desolate. She was alone in the living room, alone in the bright light.
Although Nicole had lived with her brother over the years, she lived alone most of the time. Sometimes she was sick, got pain, and hurt, but no one helped her. Nicole had been used to taking care of herself. She was not arrogant and willful, and she could bear any difficulty.
Nicole didn't feel anything special before, but tonight she encountered Lena's insult, her father's abandon again, and the first time she met with Eric alone, she deeply realized the difference between her and Eric. She was very painful, and tears could not help falling down.
'Eric, I shouldn't have thought too much. I shouldn't have fallen in love with him. It's all my fault to be so sad tonight.'
When Eric went downstairs, he stood in front of the apartment building and looked at Nicole's room. Her living room was still on, and she didn't seem to be asleep. Thinking of this woman, Eric had indescribable feelings in his heart.
Nicole had always thought that Eric didn't know her, but she was an employee who had been interviewed by him and agreed to recruit her into the E Venture Capital Company. How could he not remember her? Eric was responsible for what he had done, and he remembered everything clearly, not to mention Nicole that was a special existence.
When he met Nicole for the first time, he knew that she was applying for a sales position. He thought she was a talkative and sociable, but this woman was very strange. She was very calm and quiet during the interview, not as exaggerated as other applicants. And her resume was very good in her professional field. Nicole could answer all kinds of tricky questions of Miss Li and him smoothly.
At that time, Eric and Miss Li almost immediately agreed to let her enter the personnel department, but she refused. She said very affirmatively that she was going to be a sales woman, and no matter how they persuaded her, she did not change her original intention.
At that time, Eric felt that Nicole was very independent and responsible for her career planning and living attitude. Moreover, she had a great general style. Obviously she was just a grass-roots employee, but he saw potential and hope from her. Nicole was a talent. Such a talent had nothing to do with education and experience, but her own aura and quality were very suitable for training to be a professional manager.
Based on this point of view, Eric and Miss Li had the same thought, so even if she did not choose the right position, they still kept Nicole.
And within Eric's expectation, two months later, Nicole quickly realized her strengths and weaknesses and finally chose a suitable position.
Half a year ago, the E Venture Capital Company had contacted with the AI Group team and Eric started to prepare for the transfer. During that period, Eric often worked overtime, so he also saw Nicole working overtime in the company in order to get familiar with the business.
Sales was a completely strange field for Nicole, not to mention this industry she had never been working before. It took her a lot of effort to change her role in the workplace. She worked very hard. Eric saw that and he appreciated such employees who were responsible for her and the company.
During that time, only the two of them often worked overtime in the company. Eric was on floor 36, and Nicole was on floor 35. But because of the structure of the office building, his big office had a French window, and as long as he stood on the window, he could see the scene of the Sales Department on floor 35.
