Inside the car, Nicole could hear the lovely and soothing sound of music that was like a refreshing stream of water going through her. It was her favorite violin piece, “Serenade”.Nicole finally felt relaxed at this moment. She tugged at the hem of her dress in fascination, seemingly thinking about something.Grant glanced to the side at his sister. “Lil N, is Ian Carter pursuing you?”He could see at a glance that there was something fishy with Ian Carter.Nicole’s thoughts were interrupted, and she was startled. “Nah, he’s just fooling around. He’ll be back to normal in a couple of days.”Grant looked away and laughed. “That’s good.”“You don’t like him?”That was strange. The Stantons always had a good relationship with the Carters. Otherwise, they would not have allowed Nicole to get close to Ian and Hugh.“He’s had too many girlfriends, and his private life is too messy. He’s not suitable for you, but if you’re happy…” Grant was a little hesitant.Nicole laughed. “What a
Nicole’s alarm clock rang, waking her up from her beauty sleep.Nicole had requested to go back to her apartment last night. She felt a lot more comfortable without waking up to see so many maids. She looked at her phone and saw that the photos from last night’s party had pushed her and Eric to fame once again.[Rich ex-couple suspected to be back together?]It was attached with a picture of Eric and Nicole’s kiss at the end of the dance. It was an ingenious shot. Even the lighting and background looked very artistic.Nicole sneered and did not pay attention to it. She closed the article and opened her email.Logan had already sent Nicole’s schedule to her early in the morning. Nicole washed up and listened to some finance news.Last night’s trouble had all been forgotten after a good sleep and she would not let Eric Ferguson affect her mood again.Yvette kept bombarding Nicole with calls because she had just seen the picture online. She wanted to confirm the truth of the matt
Samantha Lindt hated Nicole, but since Nicole had something over her head, Samantha dared not get into an all-out fight with her.“My experience in leading teams is no less than those on the list, and my performance is one of the best among the senior managers. Vice President Nicole, are you still holding a grudge against me because of what happened last time?”Samantha was obviously a bit discontented.Nicole lowered her eyes and laughed. “No, I don’t hold a grudge against you, but I do remember that you were against cooperating with J&L before this. I’m just afraid your attitude will affect our cooperation, so…”“I will comply with the company’s decision.” Samantha eagerly showed her allegiance.Nicole gave her a perfunctory smile. “This list has been announced at the board meeting, so I’m afraid there’s no way to change it now. Let’s talk about it next time we have the chance…”She had already started to pack up the things on her desk, giving Samantha an obvious signal that sh
Nicole was unhappy when she learned that Eric Ferguson was personally in charge of this project. She did not want to deal with this man, but it was inevitable that they would meet and talk during the cooperation.‘How annoying.’The next morning, Nicole went to J&L Corporation with her team. Gerard Lichman came to receive them and wanted to take them to the research lab.Seeing the latest research and achievements in the lab would give the people of Stanton Corporation an authentic experience of their research progress.Nicole and Gerard were walking while talking. Before they reached the entrance of the lab, a small thing scampered out of nowhere to them. Someone from behind let out a cry of alarm. “Careful!”On closer look, it was a fat tiger with pointed ears and whiskers. It was small, adorable, and so lovable. The little tiger only reached Nicole’s ankle and was very furry. Besides its stripes, it did not have any semblance of a fierce and majestic tiger.Everyone was shocke
The man was prepared and stripped his shirt without any fluctuation in his expression. He exposed his chest and posed according to instructions. Nicole was the only woman there and was dumbfounded when she saw this. Her cheeks flushed red and she hurriedly looked at Gerard Lichman.“What’s this…”“We’re collecting various samples of the human physique in order to create different humanoid companions according to different preferences.”Nicole finally understood after Gerard’s simple explanation.She clenched her teeth and thought, ‘What an enjoyable job…’Gerard’s assistant hurriedly came in and whispered a few words into his ear. Gerard looked serious and turned to Nicole.“Vice President Nicole, please continue to stay and keep watch here for a while. I need to take some of these guys with me.”As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately followed him out.Nicole was left dumbfounded alone. She touched the “tiger” in her arms and muttered to herself, “Do we have to continue?”B
Nicole had long since blocked Eric and cut off all contact with him. She did not expect to see his name in Ian’s post. ‘This circle is just too small…’Eric’s comment: [Knock-off.]It did not do much damage, but it was quite insulting.Ian angrily left a dozen comments below cursing Eric Ferguson. However, there was no other reply from Eric. The “war” was over.Nicole rolled her eyes helplessly. “Ian doesn’t have anything better to do, huh?”“He’s really interested in you. Everyone can see that. Why don’t you give him a chance? You can take advantage of this opportunity to annoy the crap out of Eric Ferguson…”“I won’t be romantically interested in my closest and dearest friends. If I was interested in him, I’d have made a move on him long ago, so stop spouting nonsense...”Nicole frowned thinking of how she should solve this situation with Ian.“Then forget it. I’ve got my eye on a necklace. Wanna come with me to take a look?” There was always something to talk about between g
Ingrid Ferguson finally left the jewelry store in shame and anger. Yvette hurriedly took the card over and looked at it left and right. She said in surprise, “How did you get this card?”Nicole pursed her lips and said, “My third brother gave it to me on my 18th birthday. He told me to bring it wherever I go. I didn’t expect it to come in handy!”“Why didn’t God give me a ‘Third Brother’?” Yvette held her forehead in envy and jealousy.Nicole laughed and gave it to her. “If you like it so much, I’ll give it to you.”“No way! This card is valid for life. It’s invalid once it’s transferred, so you keep it...but you can buy me what I like…”Nicole nodded and liked this idea.After buying the necklace, Yvette happily dragged Nicole around for a while before they left the mall.Nicole was in a good mood when she went back to the office. Samantha Lindt had been making small moves, but Nicole did not care about it and let her be.She knew that whatever Samantha did could not be hidden
The scene was in an uproar as everyone’s eyes were focused on Nicole.Roman looked at Nicole in confusion. “What do you want this for?”Nicole hooked her lips. “It looks pretty nice, don’t you think?”“I don’t think so.”‘It looks like an ordinary tobacco pipe...what’s so nice about it?’Nicole noticed Quinn and Ingrid’s gaze on her, so she smiled faintly and did not avoid eye contact with them.The Ferguson mother-daughter pair were obviously startled. They knew that Nicole recognized this emerald pipe.Back then, Quinn had asked Nicole to clean the memorial hall alone one night. Quinn deliberately took out the pipe from the safe and placed it on a high shelf as she hoped that Nicole would “accidentally” bump into the shelf and break the emerald pipe. If that happened, Old Master Ferguson would certainly kick Nicole out of their family. However, Nicole was smart enough not to touch it.If not for the surveillance camera in the memorial hall, Quinn would have broken it herself
