Chapter 473 Hypocrite
Nicole had a smug smile on her face. She nodded to the others and raised an eyebrow at Ian. “Carter, this business expansion of yours is quite sudden, huh?”Ian leaned into her and whispered. “I’m just lucky to have you! I didn’t expect to clear it out so quickly…”Otherwise, Ian would have to pay for his big talk out of his own pocket.The two bigwigs sat in the front. The signing ceremony was simple, solemn, and quick.This time, the main character was Ian because he was the organizer. Naturally, everyone’s attention was focused on him.Nicole sat next to Ian and stole the limelight, as always.Ian and Nicole were surrounded by others for small talk as they talked joyously. The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed. The people surrounding Eric and Clayton were those who wanted to patronize them, which was a completely different scene from Nicole and Ian.Clayton and Eric looked restrained and calm as they looked at the other side. They both could not help but feel like they
Chapter 474 Guess Who
The reception ended, and everyone dispersed.Ian Carter hitched a ride with Nicole. On the way back, he kept complimenting Clayton Sloan.“This guy is on a whole different level. He’s so different from us mere mortals!”Nicole nodded in agreement.......The research and development project over at J&L Corporation was progressing smoothly. Within a few days, they produced some new results.The new project assistant, Tucker, who was stationed at J&L Corporation, was a bit overwhelmed by such a huge project, so he proposed for Nicole to send some additional staff.Nicole also agreed.After all, the project had reached a mature stage, so the complexity and professionalism were far beyond the initial stage.Two days later, Logan sent the list of new hires to Nicole.Nicole took a look at it. Logan looked like he had something to say. “The people here are all graduates from top universities. Do you want to pick one?”She picked up a stack of documents and casually asked, “Who’s m
Chapter 475 Drink Mine
Ivy Harrison nodded and went to the pantry.In her impression, Joy Harrison was the typical high-society lady. Joy could mingle around the elite circles for the family business with ease. Even Eli Harrison could not stop praising his eldest daughter.To please Joy, Eli Harrison never recognized Ivy as his daughter. If Eli did not need an unmarried daughter for a marriage alliance, Ivy would have been stuck in that cramped and old apartment.Ivy carried the tray of coffee to the conference room.The moment she opened the door, she saw Eric talking with Gerard Lichman at the door. Eric was indifferent and calm, but when he glanced at Nicole across the room, his gaze became extra soft.It was very different from the disgust and indifference in Eric’s eyes when he looked at Ivy, which made her indulge in it.Those three people at the table seemed to be in their own world, untouchable by ordinary people.When Eric raised his eyes, he saw Ivy Harrison standing there. His face immediat
Chapter 476 You Don’t Need To
Nicole was indifferent and never touched the cup of coffee that had milk froth on it.Eric, who was sitting across from her, noticed this and pushed the untouched coffee in front of him to her.Nicole raised her eyes quizzically.Eric chuckled. His flirtatious gaze in the eyes of outsiders looked so gentle.“I haven't touched it yet. This cup doesn’t have milk.”Gerard laughed lightly and looked at the cup of coffee in front of him. “Oh, Ms. Stanton’s cup is mine. This isn’t negligence on J&L’s side, right?”Ivy’s heart thumped. She felt like a boulder crushed her chest.Earlier, she did not ask for the bosses’ preferences and assumed it herself.Ivy had to admit that she was a bad assistant.Nicole smiled gently. She was indifferent as she carelessly spun the pen in her hand.“Fine. It’s my assistant’s fault. To make amends, I can invite you to the opening of my brother’s play tonight. Are you interested?”Gerard clicked his tongue. “Of course! Kai’s tickets are hard to get
Chapter 477 What Are You Doing?
Capital Grand Theater.Nicole had front-row tickets.She got out of the car in a light-colored dress. Although the design was conservative, it made her look tall and slender, with curves in the right places.Nicole paired it with beautiful stilettos. Her temperament was bright and outstanding.Logan brought back the dress from the boutique and passed it on to Ivy to hand it to Nicole.The theater was surrounded by reporters and fans. It was extremely crowded.It seemed that Kai the superstar really lived up to his title.When Nicole walked down the steps, she slipped and broke the heel of her stilettos.The reporters’ cameras kept flashing below. If she walked over like this, her odd look would definitely be on tomorrow’s headlines.Nicole secretly cursed and quickly retreated into the car.Luca asked, “Miss, what’s wrong?”Nicole said, “The heel of my shoe is broken. Find me a new pair of shoes.”Luca’s eyes widened in a dilemma.Ivy Harrison, who was next to her, hastily
Chapter 478 Lead a Horse to Water
From Eric’s perspective, Nicole was sitting while Clayton was kneeling in a posture that looked like he was proposing to her. Clayton’s gentle actions when he took off Nicole’s shoes for her made Eric feel extremely uncomfortable. They looked like a couple in love!Eric’s face was cold and ugly. His eyes were frosty as he glared at Clayton dangerously.Clayton heard Eric’s voice, but he just put the shoes back on for Nicole as if nothing happened and straightened up.“Ms. Stanton, you should get someone to change a pair and wait in the lounge upstairs.”Nicole thanked him and stood up naturally. She then sent Kai a message to prepare a new dress and shoes for her.Kai was the only one who was of any use here.After all, Nicole did not trust her bodyguard Luca’s sense of fashion.Eric’s face was cold and stern as he walked over. His gaze was dead set on Clayton.Seeing his things coveted by others made Eric feel possessive and gave him a sense of crisis. He was losing his mind!
Chapter 479 Can’t Explain
Nicole changed into a long black dress. She looked noble and aloof. The high heels were also her favorite brand and style. She let out a sigh of relief and remembered what just happened.She picked up the phone and called Luca. “Tell Ivy Harrison to come up.”Luca responded, “Yes, Miss.”Nicole took a deep breath. As soon as she came out of the room, she saw Kai’s assistant, Demi, waiting at the door.“Ms. Stanton, Kai was worried about you being alone and asked me to follow you around tonight.”Nicole agreed since she was short of staff anyway.She smiled. “Great! Wait here for Ms. Harrison, I’ll come up later. I have something to say to her.”Demi nodded. “Don’t worry, Ms. Stanton.”“It’s almost time, so I’ll go downstairs first.”Nicole smiled faintly and went downstairs. She was not someone who would put up with unreasonable people.The lighting arrangements were ready in the theater hall. There was only one seat left in the front row, which was between Eric and Clayton.
Chapter 480 Get Lost With You
Eric and Ivy’s intimate embrace at this moment was such an explosive and astonishing image.Those reporters were like hungry wolves hunting for food. They were clicking away at their cameras and filming this scene.Ivy Harrison cowered behind Eric, shivering with fear, looking so pitiful.The reporters did not expect that both Nicole and Eric had new love interests.In the next second, Eric pushed Ivy away like she was a piece of trash stuck to his body. The disgust in his expression was not hidden at all.He did not even care if Ivy was naked in front of the cameras.Eric walked up to the reporters with a sullen and oppressive gaze.His tone was threatening.“I don’t care who told you to come. If a word or a photo about this gets out, all of you will be unemployed by tomorrow.”In an instant, the clicking sound of the cameras stopped abruptly.It was completely silent. Not a sound could be heard.Those reporters looked at Eric with fearful eyes.Eric always appeared in fin
