The director and the crew were baffled.The relationship between Nicole and Xander that they misunderstood was dispelled with Nicole’s words.The director got excited and immediately shouted, “Cut the crap and start over!”Xander looked at Nicole for help, but she sat next to the director and watched the show indifferently. She studied the machine in front of her intently...Two times.Three times.......Xander’s diving scene took eleven takes before passing. He almost went crazy from the cold before the director was satisfied enough to let him go back to rest.He even forgot about Nicole and left, shivering from the cold.Xander was so tired that he could not keep his eyes open anymore.The director satisfactorily called it a day and looked at Nicole. “Ms. Stanton, thank you…”Nicole smiled. “Director, Xander still needs training. In the future, let him shoot whatever he needs to since you can cut the footage later anyway. Newcomers should train more and endure hardships,
Everyone instantly froze after Nicole spoke.The expressions on their faces almost crumbled.They were not happy at all!Looking at their shocked faces, Nicole could not help but smile as she added, “What if we’re not?”Kai’s expression changed a few times. “You… Don’t scare me like that!”Nicole laughed. “Of course it’s impossible. It was just a chance encounter.”They all unanimously sighed with relief.Floyd’s emotions were complicated as he gave Nicole a complex look.“I know that Clayton is cooperating with us, but it’s better if you don’t get involved with him outside of business. He looks like a good person, but how kind can he really be if he can get to his current standing?”This was the first time Floyd evaluated someone so bluntly.Nicole smiled silently.It was a perfunctory expression of acknowledgment.Grant said, “Why don’t you go work on another project and leave the project with Clayton to someone else?”Nicole put down the bowl. “There’s no need. I know w
Mitchell froze before answering and took the opportunity to leave the office.He breathed a long sigh of relief as if he had just come back to life.Eric thought about it and called Toto.He could not sit back and admit defeat, and he especially could not let that bastard Clayton Sloan take advantage of the situation!“Mr. Ferguson, I-I’m already packing my stuff…”Toto spoke with trepidation.Quinn suddenly visited and bossed him around with a flurry of curses, almost driving Toto mad.She wanted to throw away all the things that Nicole did not take with her, but Toto did not dare to let her throw them, lest Eric really went crazy.He stopped Quinn, who told him to pack his stuff and get out.Toto knew that he failed to help Eric get Nicole back and felt guilty about it. Eric would definitely not let him stay.Thus, he answered the call with trepidation.It would be good if he got out of this alive!Eric’s cold voice was slightly hoarse. “Nicole likes that dessert you made
Eric saw Nicole fall silent and thought that his reasoning had convinced her.He could not help but sigh in relief.At first, he just thought about giving it a try. Their relationship could not get any worse anyway.Nicole was unmoved no matter how humble and careful he was. She even went further away from him, so he should just be straightforward.It turned out that being reasonable was such a wonderful thing.The corners of his mouth gently curved into a small arc.It looked a little smug.Nicole laughed in anger the next second.She looked up at him and said coldly, “Even if I want to move forward, it’ll depend on the person. If it’s you, then I won’t be able to stand it.”Eric gnashed his teeth and endured it. How infuriating!However, he still had to bear it.He lost this time again!Eric was so angry that he could not speak. Nicole snorted coldly before storming out the door.The colleagues not far from the door gathered and eavesdropped on the quarrel inside.They
Eric actually came to visit Xander personally?Together with Nicole?The noise instantly went silent.No one knew how to react!The next second, they saw Xander coming over with high spirits.He was so tired from repeating the same takes over and over again that he almost cried with joy when he heard that Nicole had come to visit him!The director did not give him a hard time and let him leave with a wave of his hand.Look! With a rich woman as a backer, the treatment he got was different!Xander just came over when he saw a group of reporters surrounding Nicole.He was very excited that he could appear in public together with Nicole. This opportunity was simply beyond his wildest dreams.“Xander is here…”Someone in the crowd said this.Everyone also consciously made way for him.Xander suppressed the excitement on his face and revealed a pleasing and humble smile. Just as he walked over, he saw Eric Ferguson beside Nicole!His feet froze and his smile stiffened on his f
Everyone was secretly shocked.Xander was just a newcomer, but he got so many resources at once. His limelight was really overwhelming!He was excited at first, but his back stiffened near the end of Nicole’s words. He suddenly felt a little unhappy.Xander was exhausted these days. He only slept three to four hours per day but still had to maintain a high state of wakefulness.He was excited about the resources Nicole mentioned, but he also felt very heavy...Would he die of exhaustion?Nicole looked down at her watch. Logan stepped forward at the right time and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear, “President Nicole, it’s about time for your appointment with the director…”Everyone was struck by a realization. Oh, so she was not here to visit Xander.Nicole nodded and walked away, not bothering to stay any longer.Her attitude was very obvious.She did not care what the reporters wrote. They could not be posted online anyway.Eric also followed her with no extra w
Lobby of Stanton Tower.As soon as Nicole got out of the car, Kai floored the accelerator and left in a huff.He was throwing a tantrum.Hehe...“Ms. Stanton…”A familiar voice called out. Nicole turned around and saw Toto running over while panting. He held a blue rectangular custom-made box in his hands.Nicole’s eyes sank, slightly speechless.Eric kept pestering her. He was becoming more and more shameless.Toto handed the blue box over. “Good morning, Ms. Stanton. Mr. Ferguson carefully selected these for you. It was just flown in from New Zealand. He hopes you’ll like it.”He opened it directly without waiting for Nicole to speak.Inside was a bouquet of delicate red roses, bright and fragrant. There was dew on the petals and the leaves were gorgeous, making them look warmer and redder than ordinary roses.Many people were coming and going at the entrance of Stanton Corporation.It was clear that Eric wanted to attract everyone’s attention and declare his sovereignty.
Nicole handed Lil Michael to Logan and went straight to the conference room for a meeting.When she came out again, Lil Michael was obediently waiting in her office doing a puzzle.Nicole read documents for a while until her phone rang.She picked it up and saw that it was from Clayton.She answered it. “Mr. Sloan?”“Ms. Stanton, is Michael behaving?”Clayton’s voice was gentle and calm with a seductive tenderness that could hook one’s soul.Nicole paused for a moment before snapping back to her senses.“He’s very well-behaved. He’s doing a puzzle now.”Clayton let out a low chuckle. “He colluded with the nanny and bodyguard to skip class and run away from home. I knew that he’d be with you.”Lil Michael seemed to realize who Nicole was on the phone with and ran over with wide eyes.“Pretty Lady, is that Daddy?”Nicole handed him the phone. “Yup. Do you want to talk to him?”“NO!”Lil Michael decisively hung up the phone!He put in a lot of effort to run out so that he c
