Nicole nodded and reached out to shake Fabian’s hand.She knew that she should be courteous and forgive Fabian, who admitted his fault.Nicole then smiled at Harvey, who looked stunned. “Mr. Sage?”She heard that after Harvey’s net worth soared, he did not make any unreasonable demands with Falcon Entertainment. Instead, he proposed a one-year betting agreement.Harvey intended to use $500 million to purchase shares of Falcon Entertainment.Not much, just ten percent.Nicole had to admit that Harvey was really a very smart person.An actor only had limited years in their prime. Those who were too popular when they were young would not be able to stand starring in older roles after their youth was gone.This was also cruel to the fans of the big screen and would easily cause the actors’ popularity to fade away.Thus, actors would turn behind the scenes, as investors, producers, and so on.There were also many actors who started their own companies and studios to train newcomer
Nicole did not know if Harvey was referring to Falcon Entertainment or Stanton Corporation.However, it was somewhat unexpected that Harvey paid so much attention to her.Nicole smiled and brushed it off.“I gave myself a vacation.”Harvey nodded, hesitated for a moment, then spoke.“Shall we have dinner together later?”Julie, who was on the side, could not help but stare at them with a gossipy look on her face.Nicole unconsciously wrinkled her eyebrows and felt a bit helpless.“Did you think that I just came out with a random excuse to reject Fabian?”Harvey lowered his eyes and exposed her.“If you gave yourself a vacation, why did you come to a meeting nearby?”Nicole choked.Oh, she just shot herself in the foot.Julie laughed lightly on the side and helped to relieve this awkward situation. “Mr. Sage, don’t make things difficult for Nicole. She’s here to wait for me, and I have to send her home later. Otherwise, someone will come looking for me.”She gave Harvey a
Nicole smiled. “Mr. Sage, long-term endorsement won’t be good for your image transformation. It’s also easy for the company’s products to form a fixed pattern. Whether or not you can continue to be the spokesperson of Stanton Corporation will still need to be assessed by the company.”Harvey’s eyes were dull. He pursed his lips and did not speak.Nicole did not think that Harvey would look so disappointed because of an endorsement.Harvey had at least two dozen endorsements from big international first-tier brands.He should not value Stanton Corporation so much in comparison.Harvey smiled with his head bowed.“Is that so? Alright then…”Julie looked at the two people and felt a little awkward.She thought that Harvey was different from the past. He finally had the strength to speak to Nicole.As they were talking, the door outside suddenly opened.They thought that Fabian came back again, but it was not him.The three of them looked at the person who appeared at the door i
If Harvey continued to sit here, he would probably suffocate to death.Harvey froze and hastily stood up.“Yes, please.”Harvey nodded at the couple and did not make eye contact. He just turned around and went to the dressing room inside.Clayton narrowed his eyes as he watched Harvey’s departing back. He put away the smile on his face.“Harvey Sage? Are you guys close?”Nicole was playing with her phone. She shook her head.“Not really. I think the last time we met was last year?”Clayton’s expression eased and became gentle. He gently pinched her small earlobe. “Look at you attracting attention everywhere…”Nicole clicked her tongue. Her eyes were watery as she looked at Clayton.“Is it my fault for being so pretty?”Nicole was innocent. She and Harvey had no relationship at all. Clayton was purely imagining things.However, this kind of explanation seemed superfluous.It was better not to say anything.In the dressing room.Harvey changed his clothes and came out. He
Julie hurriedly sent Nicole and Clayton away so that they would not be an eyesore on the set. By the window. Harvey watched in amazement. Nicole straightened her back slightly, which showed her slight belly. Although from behind, Nicole looked no different from before. Clayton very carefully protected Nicole’s waist. The couple looked at each other and smiled. Clayton opened the car door for Nicole and carefully helped her to get in as if he was taking care of an invalid person. A trace of doubt flashed in Harvey’s eyes. Was he thinking too much?That scene just now and that angle made it look like Nicole was pregnant.But how could it be? It might just be his angle. Harvey was an actor, so how could he easily believe it? In the car.Nicole chose a song that she likes to listen to. She took a tangerine that was placed on the side and slowly peeled the skin. The tangerines that Clayton bought looked fresh, succulent, and very tempting. Clayton glanced at Nicole as
Nicole had not shown up in her social circle for several months.She disappeared from the public eye after her wedding and did not even go to the office often.Although many of her partners in the industry knew about Nicole and Clayton, the couple kept an excessively low profile.Especially after Nicole got pregnant, Clayton did not let her appear on social occasions.Thus, not many outsiders knew about Nicole’s pregnancy at the moment.However, it did not matter.Nicole did not have that many sincere friends in that circle anyway. Only her close friends knew what was going on.Every time Yvette and Julie returned from an event, they would tell Nicole about the latest situation.Nicole also liked listening to their stories.Ian returned from abroad and wanted to meet up with them under the guise of throwing a birthday party.Clayton knew that Nicole was bored. He helped Nicole to overcome her anxiety and sent her over personally.Part of the reason Clayton allowed Nicole to
The delicate girl sat aggrievedly next to Ian with her head bowed.She looked at Ian with sorrowful eyes.Yvette, Julie, and Nicole raised their eyes to take a peek. They initially felt fine, but they felt awkward being stared at like that by that girl.It looked as if Ian neglected the girl because of the three of them.Yvette saw this and smiled.“Ian, why didn’t you entertain your friend properly? Go get her something to drink…”Ian impatiently shuffled the cards and looked at the delicate girl.“Can you go by yourself?”The girl nodded aggrievedly.Soon after, she brought over five glasses of wine. Her voice was sweet and mushy. “Everyone, do you want a drink?”She was quite tactful.Nicole smiled. “No thanks, I don’t drink.”Nicole was wearing a loose dress, so her belly could not be seen.The delicate girl insisted on putting the wine in front of Nicole and persuaded her with great effort.“Miss, how can you not drink? You should more or less drink a little. Second
The private room next door.The conversation of a group of elites suddenly came to an abrupt halt when they heard the deafening music coming from next door.Although their conversation looked superficially relaxed, there were plenty of temptations and traps among their back and forth interactions.Thus, they were all extra careful.When they heard the music, everyone froze.One of the bosses encountered this situation for the first time. He immediately stood up and looked angry as he called the waiter over to kick out the people from the room next door.Clayton calmly smiled.“There’s no need to make such a fuss. Everyone’s out to have fun, so let’s just leave it.”Lance nodded his head in agreement.“Yes, if we want a serious environment, we would’ve booked a conference room and wouldn’t be here playing billiards. I’ll go and warm up first. You guys can come over if you want to play.”Kai stood up and began to roll up his sleeves.“I’ll play. I must win one round against yo
