Chapter 346 It’s My Fault
When Nicole woke up again, she was surrounded by the smell of disinfectant.It turned out that she was in the hospital.She breathed a sigh of relief.In her dream, she thought that she was still free-falling on the bungee rope, falling, bouncing, and falling again…The repeated weightlessness made her body tremble and tense with panic.A warm towel wiped her forehead for her. Nicole looked to the side. When she saw the person clearly, her face instantly turned glum.“Why haven’t you left yet?”Eric replied, “Mm, it’s my fault…”His voice was low and raspy, he sounded endlessly remorseful.Even when Nicole was unconscious, she seemed to be having nightmares because she was constantly sweating while she chanted, “Don’t push me…”It was all his fault!He did not expect that Nicole would get so scared.If he had known this would happen, he would not have pulled her down with him. He would rather jump down a hundred times himself.Nicole looked away and dodged his towel.Just
Chapter 347 She’s Getting Back to Her Career
Nicole said, “Get ready, I want to go home.”Demi froze for a moment and immediately responded, “Okay, the driver is waiting outside.”Eric stood up, looked at Nicole silently for a moment before he said, “Are you feeling better?”Nicole hesitated for a moment. “Yeah.”Hearing that her tone was not stiff, Eric was a little taken aback. His gaze instantly turned gentle and soft.Previously, he was inexplicably afraid that Nicole would get traumatized, but he forgot that Nicole was not a fragile porcelain doll.Only Nicole would throw a temper tantrum like this after such an incident.Eric wanted to send her back, but before he went out, he received an emergency call from the office. Mitchell’s voice was very anxious, so Eric said goodbye to Nicole and left on his own.Nicole was awake on the way back home. Her phone was bombarded with messages of concern.Nathaniel was the most exaggerated one. There were 99 unread messages from him alone…Nicole did not even bother reading th
Chapter 348 Someone Will Always Think About It
Nicole’s post temporarily quelled everyone’s desire for her to return to the show.After all, she was the CEO of Stanton Corporation and did not need to depend on the entertainment industry to make a living. Thus, she was certainly qualified to make that decision.This fever quickly subsided.Nicole thought that this was just an excuse for her to withdraw from the show, but early the next morning, Tigger automatically adjusted the room’s settings to daytime mode before she woke up.When she opened her eyes, the sunlight spilled through the curtains and only her face.Nicole did a lazy stretch and poked Tigger.“You’re mistaken. It’s not time to get up yet…”Tigger jumped up and rubbed its head on her forehead.“Someone’s waiting for you! They won’t let you stay in bed!”Nicole had no choice but to slowly get up since her sleepiness was almost gone.It took twenty minutes for her to freshen up.She chose a luxury Elie Saab’s casual dress from this season. It was a light beige
Chapter 349 Let My Son Try It
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Some agreed, some opposed, while some just watched.Nicole looked at Grant, whose eyes were slightly narrowed. His face was cold and indifferent as if he did not care about their arguments.Logan saw this and coughed heavily. Everyone instantly quieted down and waited for Grant’s response.Grant’s gaze was slightly cold as he swept a glance at Christian Jenner. His voice carried a grim chill.“Mr. Jenner, you want to give your son a chance that badly?”Christian Jenner was cowardly, but he worked up the courage to do this because he knew that his son would be kicked out of Stanton Corporation if his son did not have some achievements.“President Grant, Xion’s achievements in the business department are obvious to all. I believe that he can take on this project.”The corners of Grant’s lips curled into a seemingly cold smile, but on closer look, there seemed to be no changes on his face.“Then what if he can’t close the deal?”The a
Chapter 350 Not Good Enough for Me
Christian smiled and had a wild look in his eyes. “Great! It’s a deal!”The meeting was adjourned.When Nicole and Grant were the only ones left in the room, Grant helplessly held his forehead.“I didn’t mean for you to bet with him!”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Well, it’s already come to that point, so we can’t just leave the bet, right? Also, you were the one who involved me in this!”“That’s because his son is a loser, so of course, we can’t count on him just because of a bet. I involved you in this because I really want you to facilitate this project.”Nicole smiled meaningfully and was in the mood for gossip.“Why do you hate Christian Jenner’s son so much?”Grant snorted coldly. “He seduced a female subordinate and created such a scandal. Our company almost made it onto the trending topics because of him. Do you know how much money I spent to set things right? He still doesn’t know what he did wrong and is trying to find a way to place that woman in our finance departmen
Chapter 351 No Need to Swear on It
At night, the city lights were bright and glimmering.Gremlin Club.Nicole went out happily. She wore a very casual plaid shirt and mini skirt today, which made her seem even taller and more slender because it showed off her long legs. No one could move their eyes away from her.Once she got to the private room, she saw Nathaniel spraying a bottle of champagne everywhere as he chased after Miles. It was very lively.Fabian sat on the side and was talking to the director about something. He looked very relaxed. When he saw Nicole, his eyes lit up. He smiled and stood up to greet her.“Ms. Stanton, you’re here!”The director and others also greeted her. There were some who looked unfamiliar to her. They were probably some of Nathaniel’s fellow explorers.Mikayla sat alone in the corner.She was dressed very extravagantly like she was about to walk the red carpet.At this time, no one cared about her as she sat there by herself.Since the last bungee jumping incident where the c
Chapter 352 Stay and Sit
Miles was so angry when he talked about it that his head was smoking!‘Wow, that’s really sad!’Nicole pursed her lips and looked at Miles sympathetically. “Then we should congratulate her properly.”Anyway, this was just a favor, so it was nothing.“But... Am I an appropriate candidate?”Miles sized her up. “You’re rich.”Just this advantage could piss that woman off.Nicole curled up her lips. ‘Huh, what a good reason!’Without any preparation, Miles pulled Nicole through the long corridor and went to a private room not far away from theirs.The door was not completely closed, so through the gap, they stood there and could hear the chatter and music inside.“Mel, you’re the first among us to get married! How did you get Colton to be so infatuated with you that he wants to marry you?”“You girls don’t know it yet, but Mel’s already pregnant! If they don’t get married soon, she won’t be able to fit in a wedding dress…”“Really?! Congratulations! This is double the joy!”“I
Chapter 353 She’s the Rich Woman That He Got Close To
Nicole smiled and took Miles’ arm, but she did not answer that question.However, to others, her silence was an admission.Miles’ hand was on her shoulder, so this was enough to explain everything.No man would casually put his hand on a woman’s shoulder.The private room fell silent.Hearing this, Mikayla’s face turned uglier. She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Nicole, who was next to Miles.Her voice was sharp, sarcastic, and mean.“So, she’s the rich woman you’ve gotten close to?”The moment such unpleasant words were spoken, the women present who were leaping with excitement instantly froze. It was too late to stop Melanie.Melanie had a bad feeling that Miles would not let her go easily. The hidden anger in his eyes had not been extinguished from the moment he saw her.She immediately decided to draw a clear line with him by demeaning his self-esteem.“Are you so shameless to degrade yourself like that?”The first thing the crowd looked at was Nicole’s express
