Imperial Gardens.Eric’s face was pallid as he sat in the doorway, looking at the numerous people going back and forth to move Quinn into the ambulance. The noise seemed to be very distant.Was he sad?No, not really.He was just a little shocked.Eric was shocked that Quinn hated Nicole to the point of wanting to murder her.What Eric disregarded in the past had caused that hatred to fester and grow.Mitchell finished with the arrangements and turned around to see Eric sitting in his wheelchair, motionless.His face was dark, cold, and sullen.Even if Eric was injured, the coldness and ferocity that surrounded him did not diminish one bit.Mitchell pursed his lips and walked over with trepidation and worry.“President, don’t worry. The doctor said that she just lost too much blood. There’s no danger to her life.”Eric did not speak, but his dark eyes became darker. Mitchell was unable to see the depths of them.Eric slammed the armrest of the wheelchair and spoke in a dee
Mitchell called his cousin immediately.Less than twenty minutes later.A fat man who looked to be over 100 kg appeared in front of Eric.He had a wide smile which made his eyes squint into a thin line.Eric paused and frowned. His expression was dark and ugly when he looked at Mitchell, who was standing beside his cousin.“Cousin?”Before Mitchell could speak, the fat man’s eyes curved into a smile. He introduced himself with spittle flying everywhere. “You don’t have to be so polite, Mr. Ferguson. There’s no need to call me Cousin. My name is Toto. Don’t worry, you won’t go wrong by choosing me as your butler! One month to reconcile, three months to warm up your feelings for each other, and you two will be remarried within a year!”Toto introduced himself eloquently. He could only appear confident by setting the goal clearly for Eric.Otherwise, he felt that he was very likely to be thrown out!Sure enough, the instant Eric saw Toto, Eric felt like he had gone mad to get per
Within two rings, a cool and detached female voice came through. “Who is this?”“Are you Ms. Stanton? I’m Toto, the new butler in Imperial Gardens. I accidentally messed up your cosmetics when I was cleaning your room earlier. Mr. Ferguson said to throw them all away and buy new ones, but I don’t understand the words on the bottles…”Toto’s tone was quite aggrieved. Nicole’s cold and stern voice interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.“Don’t throw them away! I’ll go back right now. I’ll kill you if you dare to throw my things!”Eric, who was in the study, frowned deeply. He heard the voice outside the door loud and clear.‘That simple?!’Nicole was not short of money or luxury items. Her cosmetics were all high-end formulas specially customized according to her skin and cost seven digits. Where would they buy new ones for her?‘Those two stupid men!’Nicole forgot that she did not want to go back to Imperial Gardens. All she wanted was to rush back and check on her
Mitchell’s cousin, Toto, was dedicated and refused to let go of a chance to get these two people together.Eric looked at Toto with an expressionless face and was speechless.Luca rolled his eyes, not wanting to look at Toto.The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched. “Mr. Ferguson, I see that you’ve changed your criteria for selecting staff, huh?”The people around Eric were the crème de la crème of their fields.Toto did not look like he had any advantages. Based on Eric’s past preferences, Toto would have been eliminated due to his physique. It was very unexpected that he made it as Eric’s butler.The sun really rose from the west!Eric pursed his lips and was about to find an excuse, but Toto just went up and smiled with curved eyes.“Ms. Stanton, I came in through the back door!”Nicole nodded and was very interested. “Whose relative?”Toto squirmed around and said, “I’m Mitchell’s cousin. Don’t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, people will talk. It’s really annoying!”Nic
Nicole sat on the balcony on the second floor, basking in the sunset with a cup of tea next to her.She squinted her eyes and felt a wave of sleepiness. She then heard deliberately lightened footsteps.Nicole frowned. “Toto?”“Ms. Stanton, you’re so smart! You already know it’s me without turning around. Your calm and cool temperament is so different from other women. I prepared some fruit for you. Was today’s dinner still satisfactory?”Toto nervously rubbed his hands with some apprehension in his voice as he continued, “Mr. Ferguson ordered those dinners. I don’t know if they’re to your taste. This is my first day on the job. I don’t want to lose this job because of the dinner. After all, I have a first-class chef license…”The corners of Nicole’s upturned lips stiffened slightly.‘Eric ordered these? I thought it was a coincidence that those are my favorite dishes… How did he know anyway?’Nicole’s heart suddenly felt a little stuffy.The more Eric put his heart into her, th
The three ladies all thought that they saw it wrongly.Upon closer look, they realized that it was really her.Yvette was the first to speak. “Ingrid Ferguson has been missing for so long, but she’s been right under our nose this whole time? Why didn’t anyone find out?!”Nicole squinted her eyes. She was also amazed.Although Ingrid’s humble stance and fake smile when she was putting on shoes for the customer were very clearly forced, Ingrid certainly looked much better than before.They were just not used to Ingrid’s behavior.No one expected that the arrogant and domineering Ms. Ferguson would end up working as a store attendant!How could Eric Ferguson arrange his sister to this kind of place?Julie Nixon asked, “Should we go over and take a look?”Nicole shook her head, but Yvette was already dragging the two of them over.“Of course!”“Welcome to…”Ingrid sent away a customer and immediately bowed to greet the new customers who just walked in.When Ingrid looked up an
Nicole sniffed the air and asked, “What are you making?”“I made some hot chocolate with Amedei’s 70% dark chocolate. It’s so rich and smooth. You should try it!” Toto immediately recommended his creation. “Would you like a cup?”Nicole was enticed by the smell and nodded. “Is Mr. Ferguson asleep?”“Mr. Ferguson is having a meeting in the study. Sigh… A man like him who’s so hard-working and rich is truly hard to find!”Toto sighed while going back into the kitchen. He came out again with two mugs.“Luca, would you like one too?”Nicole took a sip of the hot chocolate and liked the silkiness. She looked at Luca. “Try some. Toto’s got quite the skills in the kitchen!”Luca looked so fierce and unapproachable when he turned away. “No thanks, he can have it.”Toto went over to Luca and pushed him to the table with all the strength he could muster with his 100 kg body.He was exhausted and sweating as he looked at Luca. “Don’t be so polite. I’ve already had my fair share just no
Luca’s expression turned extremely glum.His fists were tightly clenched as he tried his best to restrain his anger.Nicole could not stand the noise and opened the door just to see the two men sleeping at her door. She looked bewildered.“Um… Toto…”Luca’s face was taut as he said, “Miss, you should go in and rest.”Nicole laughed and shook her head.“It’s too noisy for me to fall asleep.”It was so loud that Kai asked why she turned up the bass so late at night.It felt like an earthquake!Luca could no longer hold back and kicked Toto.Toto’s body shook. He opened his eyes in shock and immediately showed his loyalty.“Ms. Stanton, why haven’t you slept yet? Don’t you worry, I won’t allow any danger to come near you. As long as Luca doesn’t leave, I won’t leave either…”Nicole was speechless. She closed her eyes and looked at Luca helplessly.“Go sleep in the guest room. I’ll be fine.”Luca wanted to say something, but he could only follow orders.He was a world MMA
