Nicole had not strolled around the streets here, so she was just walking around aimlessly.Unknowingly, she walked to the end of a street.She was a little lost and looked around, seemingly a little confused. When she raised her eyes, she saw a bar.After thinking about it, Nicole walked in.The music inside was deafening, but there was not much of a crowd. Nicole swept a glance, then walked to the private area and went to a booth.She was a little tired and wanted to relax.However, not long after, someone stood in front of her and blocked the light.Nicole frowned, raised her head, and saw a few people in front of her.Autumn was one of them. Behind her were a few frail-looking men with outstanding looks and figures. Their strong perfume made Nicole feel unpleasant.Nicole suppressed her heart’s doubt and acted calmly.“What a coincidence, Ms. Ferguson.”Autumn smiled and raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Stanton, we’re really fated to meet. Why are you alone? You don’t mind if we a
Nicole suddenly laughed and stared at Autumn meaningfully.“Ms. Ferguson, in that case, are you going to help me? As long as I beg you, will you help me?”Autumn froze for a moment, not expecting Nicole’s attitude to change so quickly.She paused for a few seconds and lifted her chin.“Of course, it’s not that simple. I want you to promise me one condition!”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Leave Clayton?”All of a sudden.The sound of the music in the bar seemed to stand still. The noisy drums passed by Autumn’s ears, making her heart tremble.Autumn felt like her heart missed a beat.Unexpectedly, Nicole said everything that Autumn was supposed to say, all at once.The corners of Nicole’s lips held a faint smile as if she was smugly mocking the dirtiness in Autumn’s heart.Nicole had seen through by Autumn.For a moment, Autumn felt like she was stripped naked in full view of the public.Obviously, Autumn was the one who controlled the situation before, but now, Nicole was i
Autumn took a deep breath. After a long time, her nerves slowly calmed down.She stood up and went straight to the Leonards’ residence.Old Master Leonard looked like he had been waiting for Autumn for a long time.He frowned at her.“I couldn’t contact you and thought you disappeared!”Autumn smiled and resumed her usual well-behaved and understanding appearance.“Why would I? Of course, I’ll come back to pay my respects to you, Grandpa!”Old Master Leonard’s face was a little heavy. “This is beyond our expectation. Nicole didn’t come back a second time to beg me. Instead, she issued a statement asking for an inspection.”At that moment, Old Master Leonard was a little nervous.Autumn said, “So what if it’s an inspection? Anyway, the project will be delayed, and they’ll pay for the losses. No matter what the result of the inspection is, Stanton Corporation’s project will surely lose money.”Old Master Leonard glared at Autumn.“Do you think I want to get into trouble with S
Old Master Leonard saw that Autumn was relentless and ran out of patience. He bluntly ordered her.“Forget it, you won’t understand. Get that reporter to turn himself in tomorrow and give him more money to shut his mouth and don’t implicate you. This matter will be settled then.”Autumn’s lips trembled slightly. She did not know how to persist and felt helpless.She clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and could only bow her head and compromise. “Yes, Grandpa. I’ll fix it tomorrow.”Seeing that Autumn was still obedient, Old Master Leonard softened his expression and smiled.“When this matter is over, I’ll tell Eric to let you work at Ferguson Corporation. What can you learn from always being in a small company anyway?”Autumn smiled miserably. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Grandpa.”......The next day.Nicole got up early in the morning to watch the news.Those homeowners did not protest, which meant that the statement was the right response and was effective.Thus, she had
Nicole hooked her lips.“Worried about me? In what way? Do you really think I’ll hide a man here?”Clayton laughed. “I’m worried that you’ll be fighting alone. I somehow feel that this problem with the Sand City project is a trap.”He developed a keen intuition after so many years of experience.Just like how he knew that Isaac Sloan wanted to make a move on him before Isaac did anything.Nicole’s smile faded. She lowered her eyes without speaking.Clayton looked at her eyebrows. Although she had a good appetite, the darkness in her eyes could not be concealed.These days, Nicole must have had a bad time.Clayton spoke in a deep and gentle voice.“You’ve made progress?”Nicole paused for a moment. She looked at him with a deep gaze and a playful smile.“Yeah, and it’s even related to you…”Clayton froze for a moment and wrinkled his brows.He waited for her explanation.However, before she could say anything, there was a knock on the door.“President, it’s me.”It was L
Although Clayton was in the bedroom when Nicole and Logan were speaking, they did not deliberately suppress their voices, so he could still hear them clearly.Nicole laughed and looked at Clayton with her head tilted and her eyebrows arched.“Your admirer set this trap for me to get you. Isn’t it unexpected?”Clayton’s face instantly stiffened. His expression sank.“Who?”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Your admirer!”“Give me a name!”His tone sank slightly.Clayton thought, ‘What kind of admirer could I have?’After coming to Mediania, the only woman Clayton had come into contact with was only Nicole.“Autumn Ferguson!”When Nicole said this name, Clayton’s face instantly turned gloomy and cold.It was rare to see Clayton look so serious. When Clayton entered the door earlier, he was warm and glowing.“What, you don’t have an impression of her?”Clayton did not want to lie. “I do, but I’m not familiar with her. Is this woman sick in the head?”He was such a good-tempered
Nicole was briefly dazed. Her heart was surging with emotions.The answer Clayton gave her was too heavy, like he had simply handed over his life to her.She could easily control his life and death.Nicole’s phone rang and interrupted the undercurrents of ambiguity flowing between them.She fluttered her eyelashes and hurriedly looked down to get her phone.It was Logan rushing her from downstairs.Nicole hung up the phone and looked at Clayton.“Do you want to stay here and rest?”Clayton said, “No, I wanna stay with you.”He was so clingy.Nicole nodded. When she went over to get her bag, Clayton took it for her and held her hand with his other hand.She silently curled the corners of her lips.Nicole suddenly thought that being held by Clayton like this felt so good.In the elevator.Nicole thought about it and hesitantly spoke.“Mr. Sloan?”“Hmm?”Nicole looked at their reflection in the mirror. When she was standing with him, his expression was mild as if nothing
Clayton said, “We need to continue looking for that reporter’s whereabouts by using her lead.”Nicole smiled. “Of course! I finally found this lead, so I won’t give up so easily. I stopped the project and agreed to the inspection, which incurred a lot of losses. Even so, I’ll still make sure she suffers just as much!”Anyway, Nicole had the ability to do so.It just depends on whether the other party had the capital to fight with Nicole to the end.Clayton pondered with a dark and cold face. “The losses incurred from stopping construction are huge. Are you really prepared? Don’t you need to discuss with headquarters?”Nicole looked out the window and said in a light tone.“It’s just a few days and it won’t take long. Grant is at headquarters, so those shareholders don’t dare to make any small moves.”Clayton smiled. He suddenly forgot that Nicole’s position was above Grant’s in Stanton Corporation.Nicole also did not have to worry about getting the shareholders’ approval befor
