Nicole read the label on the medicine and frowned.“Jules didn’t tell me the instructions properly, and I don’t remember the doctor’s contact. What’s the dosage of this?”Nicole was clueless.In the past, Clayton would portion the medicine and put it in a small container for Nicole so that it was easier for her to take it. Nicole did not have to worry about such things at all.Thus, Nicole was a little overwhelmed when she had to do these.Clayton sighed helplessly, walked over, and said, “Let me see.”Nicole handed it to him.Then, she went about her own business as if nothing was wrong.Clayton read the instructions, took out a pen, and began to write on the box.However, he was still worried after he wrote down the instructions.Fortunately, the medicine was packaged in sealed vials. Thus, Clayton separated the vials one by one and split them into two doses a day.Clayton remembered that they had a medicine box with dividers at home, but he did not want to look for it. Ho
Chatty played until she was tired before Mrs. Zoe carried her away to take a bath and get ready for bed. Afterward, Clayton tidied his clothes and walked out of the room.He thought he would see Nicole again, but she was no longer in the living room.Mrs. Zoe cleaned up the wine glasses on the bar counter, looked at Clayton, and said with a smile, “Sir, Madam drank too much and went to bed.”For some reason, Clayton breathed a sigh of relief.He nodded and went in the direction of the master bedroom by accident. He opened the door gently and saw that there was only a wall lamp turned on in the dim room.Nicole was lying on the bed, already sound asleep.He glanced at the bedside table. The bottles looked unopened and untouched as they were still in the same place as earlier.Clayton finally calmed down and had complex and bitter emotions in his heart.He was dejected.Later, he closed the door gently and slowly without making a sound.Which was better for sleep? Pills or alco
Hearing Clayton’s voice, Kira finally realized that Clayton had made up his mind this time.Kira could faintly feel the difference in Clayton’s attitude.He was no longer tired of facing everything and was particularly serious about dealing with this matter.Moreover, Clayton was not as gentle as before. His ruthless words disrupted Kira’s plan of playing the pity card.Acting pitiful could not arouse his sympathy anymore.How could he turn a blind eye to his wife and daughter?Kira’s face turned pale. She looked up at him with the last glimmer of hope.“Sir, can you at least let me find another job before I go?”Clayton took out the termination contract.Kira’s complexion changed as Clayton said indifferently, “You’re fired. According to Mediania’s labor law, I only need to pay you an extra half a month’s salary because you’ve worked here for less than three months. But I’ll pay you three months’ salary. My only condition is that you pack up your things and leave immediately.
Floyd persuaded Nicole earnestly.“It’s just a meal. I won’t be able to explain it to Hamilton’s father if you don’t invite Hamilton over.”Nicole pursed her lips and felt helpless.“Fine, I’ll bring him back for lunch.”Floyd was delighted. “Okay. I’ll ask Mr. Anderson to prepare more food!”Nicole hung up the phone, smiled, and shook her head.She called Hamilton, who picked up the call. “President, do you need me to work on the weekend?”“No. My dad wants to invite you over for a meal. You can refuse if you already have plans.”“I don’t have plans. It’ll be too rude to refuse. I’ll go over right away.”Hamilton agreed happily.Nicole frowned.Did young people nowadays not know what embarrassment and avoidance was?How could he agree so happily when having a meal with someone’s parent was so boring?Nicole could not comprehend.Julie also received an invitation to the family banquet. She called Nicole.“Dad is probably too bored. Grant and Aida are still in the hospita
There was a moment of silence in the conference room as everyone pondered on a solution.Nicole pursed her lips, and her eyes darkened.“We have to absorb the losses even if we don’t want to. This isn’t the first time this kind of accident happened. A hotel made a pricing mistake before and refunded the guests, but the public criticized the hotel, and it took a full year for them to resume business. We can’t afford to wait that long, so we have no choice but to absorb the costs and treat it as publicity. We should be honest about what happened. We have to ensure quality for those who have already bought the vacation package at a low price so as to earn a good reputation.”Nicole finished speaking.Everyone had different opinions.Some agreed, and some disagreed.After all, this was not a small amount.“President, but this loss...”Nicole looked over. “What’s done is done. We shouldn’t lose more because of something like this. This is the only way.”As she spoke, her phone rang
“Hamilton, why aren’t you at home yet? Are you coming back with Nicole?”Floyd’s voice was loud and resounding, and it reached Clayton’s ears.Hamilton glanced at Clayton and noticed something was off.Thus, he walked to the entrance and answered, “Ms. Stanton is dealing with something urgent at the office. I’ll bring Chatty and Fischer over soon. Sorry to keep you waiting.”“Alright, come quickly.”Floyd hung up the phone.Hamilton turned around and wanted to persuade the two children not to dawdle.However, Clayton already walked over holding Chatty’s hand.Chatty was upset, but she was still obedient.Clayton touched Chatty’s head and said, “Go on.”Chatty nodded obediently and walked over to Hamilton.Fischer also stretched his head and waited for Clayton to pat him.Clayton touched his head and said helplessly, “You should go too. Have fun.”Fischer nodded obediently. “Goodbye, Daddy!”Clayton nodded.Hamilton curled his lips, nodded, and pulled the two children awa
Hamilton glanced back at the kid, who was dozing off with his eyes closed, and lowered his voice when he spoke.“The children probably won’t understand why you two are separated.”After a long time, Nicole did not respond.There was a bit of silence and forbearance on her beautiful face.“We’re not separated,” Nicole said.Hamilton looked at her in surprise, understood what she meant, and nodded with a smile.When Nicole went to the office, she watched as the online reaction to the promotion incident turned from dissatisfaction to doubt. In the end, most people were understanding.Gradually, everyone understood why Stanton Corporation closed its promotion beforehand because of the prompt statement from the PR department. The employee who made a mistake also took the initiative to explain. Thus, the public appreciated Stanton Corporation’s response.Although there were losses, Stanton Corporation managed to save its reputation.[Wow, Stanton Corporation is so generous! I can re
Nicole went into the bar and asked for a glass of wine. A woman was singing and playing the guitar on the round stage in front. Her voice was hoarse and deep, and she was wearing heavy makeup, so Nicole could not tell what the woman would look like without makeup.However, the woman gave off a casual and nonchalant vibe.When the bartender saw that Nicole was staring at the woman, he said with a smile, “That’s our boss.”Nicole raised her eyebrows and took a sip of wine. “She has a nice voice.”The bartender nodded with a smile.Nicole had too many thoughts in her mind, so she absent-mindedly drank one glass after another.It did not take long for the bartender to realize something was wrong.After the boss finished singing, the bartender called her over.“Boss, this lady is drunk. We don’t know who she is…”The bar owner, Selena, squinted and thought that Nicole looked familiar.After some thought, she went over and patted Nicole on the shoulder.“Hey, if you’re drunk, I ca
