Clayton froze and subconsciously looked at Nicole.Nicole was not aware and laughed with Yvette.He slowly sighed in relief.Clayton learned something new.Time passed quietly.The others did not leave until the afternoon.Nicole felt suffocated in the hospital and wanted to go outside, but she was worried about Clayton.In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.Few people knew about Nicole’s whereabouts, but no one deliberately asked for her.At noon, Clayton finished his rehab and sat on the sofa reading the news with Nicole.Nicole read the entertainment news with great interest, much more energetic than when she read the financial news.Clayton looked at her for a while and was a bit puzzled.“It’s usually all fake. Why are you so interested?”Nicole rolled her eyes. “What do you know? I get the news from here, then I’ll go to Kai and Dominic for confirmation to know whether it’s true or not.”Clayton could not quite understand Nicole’s hobby, but he continued to s
Logan smiled. “President, I’m being sincere...”He went over and opened the back door of the car as he spoke. Nicole bent down and got in. She froze for a moment when she saw Luca inside.Luca nodded slightly.Logan got in the car and explained. “It was Mr. Stanton’s orders. Luca must be present for any public occasion you attend. Although there are many people following in private, if Luca stands there, it’ll at least make people dispel some of their ideas.”Nicole thought about it. It did make sense.Sure, she had no problems with it.Instead, she felt more secure with Luca around.After all, she had just escaped from death. If she was unlucky enough to encounter something again, she should start going to church for worship.The launch was unique. There was no solemn event. Instead, it was more like an afternoon tea networking banquet.“Mr. Stanton has arranged everything, and the cooperation is almost finalized. Today is the signing of the contract, but the other party is n
Nicole could not help but laugh.A prop. That was too honest!Even Logan's lips could not help but curl up.Mr. Wilheim said, “I thought it would be Mr. Stanton who came to meet me, but it turned out to be you instead, girl.”Nicole raised her brows. “Why not? I’m also just a prop...”The two exchanged a laugh.Logan tugged Nicole from the side and reminded her softly.“Sign the contract!”It seemed like Grant placed a lot of importance on this deal. Otherwise, how would Logan be in such a hurry?Nicole nodded and extended her hand. “Then shall we, a pair of props, sign the contract before catching up?”Mr. Wilheim said, “Of course.”Thus, under everyone’s dumbfounded and envious eyes, the contract was signed.Stanton Corporation participated in the project with Mr. Wilheim as an agent. He was the only domestic agent representing an international luxury brand.This meant that Stanton Corporation was involved in the operation of the abundant capital in Europe. They basicall
Why was Mitchell here?Mitchell looked straight at Nicole, who was behind Logan. When he came back to his senses, he stammered.“Ms. Stanton, you...”Mitchell thought, ‘Eric thought you were dead!’Logan did not give Mitchell the chance to speak, lest the guests around noticed that something was wrong.“Mitchell, Ms. Stanton and Mr. Wilheim still have some business to discuss. This way, please...”Nicole stood on the side, tilting her head every now and then to say a few words to Mr. Wilheim.She could tell that after Mr. Wilheim stopped painting, he did not know anything about doing business.Mr. Wilheim usually thought that it was easy to make money. Each of his paintings could sell for a sky-high price, and he felt that art was priceless, so he did not hesitate when naming his prices.Of course, it was both luck and skill that the public sought after his work like crazy.However, now, Mr. Wilheim’s father was gradually aging, and there was no one to inherit the huge compan
However, Nicole was dead. Was there any use for the rest?In the end, it was just revenge. It was to comfort Eric’s guilty and restless heart.It seemed like no matter what Eric did to make amends, Nicole would not appreciate it.Mitchell sighed. The two people who were originally close grew further and further apart, and now, they might never have the opportunity to be together again.Even Mitchell did not understand it. Eric loved Nicole so much, but why did he hesitate when Caleb put forward his conditions?Why did Eric use the mentality of a businessman to challenge the psyche of an arms dealer?Would he negotiate with them on the terms?In that case, was it worth negotiating the conditions?Angie was clearly sent to the airport in Southeast Asia, but Eric suddenly changed his mind and wanted to leave Angie as the final bargaining chip.Mitchell did not understand why.Was Angie more important to Caleb, or was Nicole more important to Eric?Caleb taught Eric a lesson.S
Mr. Wilheim was overwhelmed and sighed. “I hope nothing happens. I’m old and exhausted already. I just want to go back and rest...”Nicole smiled and turned to leave.Mitchell could not stop her.However, Logan could not stop Eric either.Eric caught up to Nicole in a few steps and pulled her arm.“Nicole, don’t go...”There was a tremor in Eric’s voice.Nicole turned around and looked at him. Her eyes were frigid. “Let go.”Eric’s face turned pale, and he let go.“Nicole...”He did not know what to say, but he knew that he could not let her go just like that.It was as if he was too ashamed to see her, but he still wanted to explain something to her.Everyone thought that the deep love he had for her was just a fake show of devotion.Did Nicole think the same too?No, that was not true.Eric loved her. Of course, he was serious.It was just...Eric’s eyes reddened before he could speak.Nicole crossed her arms, seemingly impatient. She exuded a sense of detachment th
Outside.Nicole was already sitting in the car, looking outside impatiently.The sun was about to set, but the sky was covered by fog, so the view was not that good.It was like her current mood. It really was not pleasant.Logan swiftly got into the car and carefully glanced at Nicole’s expression.“Ms. Stanton, are we going back to the hospital?”Clayton was still there. The two were reluctant to part when she left.Nicole blinked and looked at the time.“Let’s go pick up Lil Michael from school. It just so happens to be on the way.”It was about time for school to be over.Logan nodded and instructed the driver. He sat quietly in the passenger seat in front.Luca sat next to Nicole with an expressionless face, acting like the bodyguard he was.Nicole did not want to mention annoying matters, and Logan naturally would not mention it either.However, Eric’s sudden arrival really disturbed her good mood.It was Logan’s negligence and carelessness.If Logan had known, he
Lil Michael frowned in grievance. “Yeah, Daddy won’t let me eat it. He’s too much! When I grow up, I wanna open a KFC too!”Wow, what a great dream!To the side, the corner of Logan’s eyes twitched. Fortunately, Mr. Sloan was not around to hear that. Otherwise, even if it was inconvenient for him to walk, Clayton would beat Michael up.Nicole laughed. “You can ask your daddy’s opinion. He has more experience in doing business.”Lil Michael narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Pretty Lady, why are you unhappy today?”Nicole froze.The ice cream in her hand almost melted away.“What?”Logan and Luca sensibly began to eat, pretending not to hear.Lil Michael said, “You were very unhappy in the car. Did Daddy make you angry? When I grow up, you can just dump him. I won’t make you angry!”Nicole could not help but laugh. She paused before speaking.“No, I just met someone I don’t like.”After a pause, she looked at him. “Do you have anyone you don’t like?”Lil Michael pondered for a
