Ingrid Ferguson’s face stiffened. She screamed and saw that a cup of cold water had been splashed on her face and body.Nicole gently put down the decorative bottle at the sink and dusted her hands. Her gaze was calm as she said, “You asked for this.”“Nicole, how dare you…”Ingrid was so angry that her face flushed red. She was shivering. The dress she wore was from Dior’s off-the-rack collection. Although it was not as luxurious as Nicole’s custom-made dress, it still had an eight-figure price tag. Many celebrities did not even qualify to look at it, but now it was ruined!Nicole smirked. Her smile did not reach her eyes. “Do you really think that I’ll put up with you like before? If you dare provoke me again, I’ll teach you a lesson and settle both the new and old accounts together!”Ingrid shuddered when she saw a penetrating coldness in Nicole’s eyes. She could not help but feel frightened.However, she no longer wanted to think so much at this moment. She was the Young Lady
After all, Ingrid looked very wretched and could not come out of the bathroom for a while.Eric looked at Nicole with a deep gaze. His chiseled face held an inquisitive expression.“Why didn’t you say anything when my family treated you like this?”“What?” Nicole raised her eyebrows. Her eyes were indifferent, and she did not expect him to say that.“Why didn’t you ever tell me?”‘If she had told me, I’d have stopped my family from doing this to her… I definitely would.’Eric scrutinized Nicole with his stunning eyes as if he did not want to let go of any hint of emotion on her face.Nicole laughed. “It’s all in the past. We’re divorced now, so there’s no point in mentioning it again.”‘What’s the use of talking about it now? They will only humiliate me more…’“Since we’re already divorced, what’s the harm of talking about it? You should at least let me know why you wanted a divorce out of the blue, right?” The man suppressed his violently beating heart in his chest and looked
Inside the car, Nicole could hear the lovely and soothing sound of music that was like a refreshing stream of water going through her. It was her favorite violin piece, “Serenade”.Nicole finally felt relaxed at this moment. She tugged at the hem of her dress in fascination, seemingly thinking about something.Grant glanced to the side at his sister. “Lil N, is Ian Carter pursuing you?”He could see at a glance that there was something fishy with Ian Carter.Nicole’s thoughts were interrupted, and she was startled. “Nah, he’s just fooling around. He’ll be back to normal in a couple of days.”Grant looked away and laughed. “That’s good.”“You don’t like him?”That was strange. The Stantons always had a good relationship with the Carters. Otherwise, they would not have allowed Nicole to get close to Ian and Hugh.“He’s had too many girlfriends, and his private life is too messy. He’s not suitable for you, but if you’re happy…” Grant was a little hesitant.Nicole laughed. “What a
Nicole’s alarm clock rang, waking her up from her beauty sleep.Nicole had requested to go back to her apartment last night. She felt a lot more comfortable without waking up to see so many maids. She looked at her phone and saw that the photos from last night’s party had pushed her and Eric to fame once again.[Rich ex-couple suspected to be back together?]It was attached with a picture of Eric and Nicole’s kiss at the end of the dance. It was an ingenious shot. Even the lighting and background looked very artistic.Nicole sneered and did not pay attention to it. She closed the article and opened her email.Logan had already sent Nicole’s schedule to her early in the morning. Nicole washed up and listened to some finance news.Last night’s trouble had all been forgotten after a good sleep and she would not let Eric Ferguson affect her mood again.Yvette kept bombarding Nicole with calls because she had just seen the picture online. She wanted to confirm the truth of the matt
Samantha Lindt hated Nicole, but since Nicole had something over her head, Samantha dared not get into an all-out fight with her.“My experience in leading teams is no less than those on the list, and my performance is one of the best among the senior managers. Vice President Nicole, are you still holding a grudge against me because of what happened last time?”Samantha was obviously a bit discontented.Nicole lowered her eyes and laughed. “No, I don’t hold a grudge against you, but I do remember that you were against cooperating with J&L before this. I’m just afraid your attitude will affect our cooperation, so…”“I will comply with the company’s decision.” Samantha eagerly showed her allegiance.Nicole gave her a perfunctory smile. “This list has been announced at the board meeting, so I’m afraid there’s no way to change it now. Let’s talk about it next time we have the chance…”She had already started to pack up the things on her desk, giving Samantha an obvious signal that sh
Nicole was unhappy when she learned that Eric Ferguson was personally in charge of this project. She did not want to deal with this man, but it was inevitable that they would meet and talk during the cooperation.‘How annoying.’The next morning, Nicole went to J&L Corporation with her team. Gerard Lichman came to receive them and wanted to take them to the research lab.Seeing the latest research and achievements in the lab would give the people of Stanton Corporation an authentic experience of their research progress.Nicole and Gerard were walking while talking. Before they reached the entrance of the lab, a small thing scampered out of nowhere to them. Someone from behind let out a cry of alarm. “Careful!”On closer look, it was a fat tiger with pointed ears and whiskers. It was small, adorable, and so lovable. The little tiger only reached Nicole’s ankle and was very furry. Besides its stripes, it did not have any semblance of a fierce and majestic tiger.Everyone was shocke
The man was prepared and stripped his shirt without any fluctuation in his expression. He exposed his chest and posed according to instructions. Nicole was the only woman there and was dumbfounded when she saw this. Her cheeks flushed red and she hurriedly looked at Gerard Lichman.“What’s this…”“We’re collecting various samples of the human physique in order to create different humanoid companions according to different preferences.”Nicole finally understood after Gerard’s simple explanation.She clenched her teeth and thought, ‘What an enjoyable job…’Gerard’s assistant hurriedly came in and whispered a few words into his ear. Gerard looked serious and turned to Nicole.“Vice President Nicole, please continue to stay and keep watch here for a while. I need to take some of these guys with me.”As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately followed him out.Nicole was left dumbfounded alone. She touched the “tiger” in her arms and muttered to herself, “Do we have to continue?”B
Nicole had long since blocked Eric and cut off all contact with him. She did not expect to see his name in Ian’s post. ‘This circle is just too small…’Eric’s comment: [Knock-off.]It did not do much damage, but it was quite insulting.Ian angrily left a dozen comments below cursing Eric Ferguson. However, there was no other reply from Eric. The “war” was over.Nicole rolled her eyes helplessly. “Ian doesn’t have anything better to do, huh?”“He’s really interested in you. Everyone can see that. Why don’t you give him a chance? You can take advantage of this opportunity to annoy the crap out of Eric Ferguson…”“I won’t be romantically interested in my closest and dearest friends. If I was interested in him, I’d have made a move on him long ago, so stop spouting nonsense...”Nicole frowned thinking of how she should solve this situation with Ian.“Then forget it. I’ve got my eye on a necklace. Wanna come with me to take a look?” There was always something to talk about between g
