When they arrived at the manor, they could easily get in even without an invitation based on Nicole’s face.Luca was carrying the clothes in the back, looking just like he had just returned from a shopping spree with Nicole.After asking for the room number, Nicole was just about to go upstairs when she suddenly saw Lance and a group of people coming over.Nicole had to admit that Lance was glowing and spirited now that he was about to get married. He looked a lot better than the last time she met him.Everyone saw Nicole, so she could not hide even if she wanted to.“Ms. Stanton? What brings you here?”“Yes, Ms. Stanton, if you’d come earlier, you wouldn’t have missed the barbecue lunch just now…”“Ms. Stanton, let’s go play golf together?”......Nicole smiled and politely declined. “I’m not here to do business today. I’m here to find my friend. Everyone, please enjoy yourselves. Let’s get together again some other day…”Everyone smiled and nodded. Naturally, they did not f
Lance wanted to go see Yvette but did not get Iris’s answer.Iris raised her eyes to look at him stiffly, as if she did not expect Lance to directly express his preference for Yvette.In the company, everyone knew that Yvette came in through the back door.Furthermore, her relationship with Lance was somewhat unusual.In an ordinary company, which president would patiently teach an assistant how to handle a project or how to amend tables?However, whatever Yvette did not know, she would either go straight to Hans or Lance to ask.Hans was always strict with them, but for some reason, he explained some of the most basic problems to Yvette patiently.This showed that even the back door Yvette went through was unusual.Although it was not brought up to the surface, rumors brewed privately.As soon as Hans left, Yvette started to ask them when she encountered something she did not know how to do.However, how could other people get used to her?After Iris scolded her while takin
It was a large vacation resort, so it was impossible that there was not a single attendant around.Yvette shrugged. “My colleague said that she would call someone for me, but no one came. My phone broke and I just finished showering, so I couldn’t let others come either. That’s why.”Nicole frowned and pondered as she watched Yvette go inside while holding the clothes.A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.“Luca?”Nicole asked.Luca said, “Yes, Ms. Stanton. Mr. Sheldon wants to see Ms. Quimbey.”Nicole rolled her eyes. Even without thinking, she knew that this matter today had something to do with Lance.Yvette suffered injustice but did not notice it herself.However, as a bystander, Nicole knew very well.Yvette was set up by someone.“No. Tell him to get lost.”Nicole spoke unceremoniously.The two people outside were stunned.Luca calmly relayed Nicole’s words to Lance.“No. Get lost.”Luca did not bother to reword it to make it sound more euphemistic
Just as Yvette was hesitating, Nicole came from behind and spoke up casually.“That’s fine. You should handle your work first...”Yvette frowned. “But you’re already here...”Nicole smiled. “I don’t have to go to work anyway, so I’ll just go to your office. We can leave together when you get off work.”Lance frowned.Yvette hugged her joyfully. “Sure, it’s settled then!”What a great way to have the best of both worlds!Lance was speechless.Nicole looked at him with a smile. “Can I go to your office to wait for Yvette to get off work, Mr. Sheldon?”Lance smiled and nodded.Of course. Since Nicole asked personally, and it was not an unreasonable request, Lance could not refuse.Furthermore, back then, Nicole completely wiped out his greatest rival, Harrison Corporation, with just a single move. That was what led to the rise of Sheldon Corporation.Even if it was just a business partnership, Lance could not easily refuse Nicole’s request.Yvette was overjoyed. She pulled Ni
The stretch limousine finally showed its worth today.With Luca, all the seats were fully occupied.However, when a car like this was full, it looked slightly cramped.The weather was excellent, and the scenery was gorgeous.Supposedly, with Nicole’s level, she should be sitting with Lance.However, Yvette sat next to Nicole, and Lance did not mind sitting in the back.Lance looked at Yvette for a while and saw that she did not have the slightest intention to look back at him, so he was a bit flustered.This feeling inexplicably made him uncomfortable.Lance pursed his lips and spoke abruptly.“Ms. Stanton, is Mr. Sloan recovering well?”Nicole did not give him the cold shoulder and smiled. “He is. If not for Yvette’s call, we were planning to go to the back of the school to watch the fireworks in the evening.”Lance smiled. His gaze naturally shifted to Yvette.“Looks like Yvette disturbed your time together...”Yvette mumbled, “I only disturbed her because I had an urgen
Iris opened her mouth but could not retort.She could only resign herself to her unfavorable situation.Iris lowered her eyes and hid the resentment in her heart.There was silence in the car.Even the driver did not dare to breathe loudly.Nicole looked out the window and did not say anything, but she saw all this clearly.Lance found out about the problem in time, so he was not too stupid.Yvette paused and quickly nodded.“I was careless, Mr. Sheldon. It has nothing to do with others. The matter has already passed, and nothing went wrong. Ms. Stanton sent me clothes, didn’t she?”Yvette looked at Nicole and raised her eyebrows so that Nicole would say a few words to brush the matter aside.Lance wrinkled his brows and looked at Yvette with a stiff face.Nicole did not let them down. She smiled and spoke in a lazy tone.“Mr. Sheldon, the situation then was urgent. You should really look into it and find out what happened. Putting aside how the attendant didn’t show up, ev
Lance did not force Nicole and turned to Yvette to instruct her.“Take Ms. Stanton to the lounge next to my office. Make sure to attend to her well.”Yvette nodded her head solemnly. “Yes, Mr. Sheldon.”She then glanced at Nicole and grinned.The three of them got on the elevator together.It was as if they had forgotten about Iris, who was behind them.Iris stood there with a pale face, took a deep breath, and went upstairs from another staff elevator.How could she be qualified to take the president’s exclusive elevator?Back then, the Sheldon family had just expanded its business here, and their conditions were not as good as those of other large multinational corporations. Even the president did not have an exclusive elevator.Iris remembered that in the past when she came to work, she always liked to come a little early and dawdle in the lobby, waiting for Lance to come on time so that she could pretend to meet him by chance and take the elevator upstairs together.At th
Yvette stared at Lance, who was unconvinced by anything, and really did not know what to say.She could only shrug helplessly.“Before Hans left, he said that Iris is very capable. She’s an ambitious person and can do even more for the company. She shouldn’t leave because of such trivial matters.”Lance’s expression did not change, and his tone was indifferent.“What Hans said might not always be true. There are times when he’s mistaken as well. Ambitious? I think she’s just delusional!”The sentence was thrown to the ground like a boulder smashing into the calm surface of the sea, causing waves to surge and swell up, ebbing and flowing unstably.“She’s already so vicious treating a newcomer like you. If she treats other employees this way, will they still have room to turn their fortune around?”Lance’s words made Yvette’s heart sink.She only thought about herself and forgot about others.Yvette could not possibly vouch for Iris, much less forgive her for the sake of others.
