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
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!
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.
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
Eric’s attitude was resolute and cold, leaving no room for maneuver.It was completely different from what Ivy Harrison imagined.Ivy Harrison was completely overwhelmed. She panicked, and her eyes were glistening with pitiful tears.Her eyes gradually reddened as she trembled, looking at Eric like she was about to cry.“Mr. Ferguson, why? Everyone says that we’re a good match.”Ivy Harrison was the youngest daughter of the Chairman of Harrison Corporation. With this identity, the distance between Eric and Ivy had been shortened.‘Why does he still refuse to look at me? Why didn’t he look for me for a marriage alliance?’During this period, Ivy could clearly see that Nicole was not at all interested in Eric.Even so, why did Ivy not stand a chance with Eric?She was puzzled and expectant.However, Eric did not even glance at her, nor did he bother to explain to her because he did not want to waste time on an insignificant person.Eric took out his phone and called Toto.“Ge
Eric’s gaze deepened. A trace of panic flashed in Nicole’s eyes before she glared at Eric with some annoyance.The two of them were uncompromising.They were in extreme proximity to each other, so much so that Nicole could feel Eric’s breath in her face.Nicole’s heart was racing for a moment. She lifted her arms to push him away, but in the next second, Eric held her hand. His gaze was dark and deep as he looked at her.His voice was low and raspy.“Nicole, what else do I have to do for you to forgive me?”His plea and show of weakness felt like he wanted to cut his heart open so that she could see his sincerity.Nicole tilted her head to look at him. Her heart trembled slightly like it was electrocuted. After a while, she chuckled.“Mr. Ferguson, you don’t have to do anything because I never look back.”Her heart was as cold as a rock.At this moment, a set of heavy, unfamiliar footsteps came from the side.Who could be so insensitive as to interrupt them at this time?“M
Stanton Corporation’s lounge.Ivy Harrison’s face was pale as she sat there, looking somewhat disoriented.The news of her dismissal had not yet been announced, so it was still not too late.Eli Harrison used a lot of effort to place her in Stanton Corporation. Ivy dared not imagine how she would return to her worthless self if Eli found out that she had screwed everything up.Ivy had come a long way from being an illegitimate daughter and was one step away from getting rid of those nightmares from her past.At this moment, she felt like she was hanging from the edge of a cliff. One wrong move would pulverize her.“Ms. Harrison.”Ivy suddenly stood up. She was nervous and apprehensive.Logan walked over politely.“Ms. Stanton has two meetings back-to-back and can’t take any time out now. Please go back.”Ivy spoke with a pale face. “I don’t understand. Why am I fired so suddenly?”She still secretly had hopes that what she had done would go unnoticed.Ivy was even so nervou
Ivy’s unorthodox tactics were exposed under the sun. There was no escape.She sat there and waited until dusk because she dared not leave.Ivy had thought of countless tricks to deal with Nicole’s reactions.What would Nicole do to her?Would Nicole get angry, annoyed, or hit her? Ivy’s target was Eric Ferguson, which Nicole was aware of. Thus, Ivy thought that no matter what, Nicole would treat her a little differently.However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that she was nothing to Nicole.Just as how Nicole hired her openly, Nicole could also fire her at will.Nicole walked out of the office confidently in her stilettos. Besides her bodyguard and assistant, some department heads flanked her sides to consult her opinion on urgent matters.They all looked at Nicole ingratiatingly and respectfully.That kind of mighty aura was something Ivy dared not even imagine having. Ivy suddenly noticed the gap between herself and Nicole.Even if Ivy’s status as a chairman’s ill
