When the sunlight lazily crept up the window and shone on Nicole’s face through the gap in the curtain, it created dark shadows on the curtains which cascaded onto the ground.Nicole’s hungover head was still a little groggy and not quite awake.She lazily opened her eyes, rubbed them, and quickly adapted to the bright, wavering sunlight.It was a bright morning, and the room was warm.However, Nicole stiffened and widened her eyes.‘I had too much to drink, and then what? I don’t remember anything… It looks like that wine is pretty strong. I’ve always been a good drinker, but I got myself drunk?’When she looked down, she saw that her clothes were still the same as last night’s, just a little messy.At that moment, Nicole was relieved. ‘I guess I can still feel my way back to bed even after drinking too much last night!’Thinking that, she went to freshen up and took a shower with a muddled mind.Half an hour later.Nicole came out.Her phone suddenly rang.She walked over
Charlotte knelt on the ground. Her body was shaking violently as she pleaded.“Ms. Stanton, I’m sorry… I was wrong… I deserve the worst, but please spare my life…”Nicole stood there feeling strange.Upon closer look, Nicole recognized that the woman in front of her was Charlotte, the meek woman she had just met last night.‘What’s going on here?’ Nicole raised her eyes and looked at Eric.Eric sat there, shrouded in a dense chill.His eyes were as cold as if they were submerged in ice, which even lowered the temperature of the room. His fingers tapped the sofa on his side. His voice was frigid.“Charlotte, tell Ms. Stanton what kind of seasoning you added to your wine.”One sentence froze the air in the room.Nicole’s face changed. Her gaze instantly sank coldly.“Seasoning?”Nicole took a deep breath, holding back her tendency to burst into rage.“What do you mean? You spiked the wine that you gave me last night?”Charlotte was too frightened to speak and kept crying bre
Nicole was silent for a second. Her voice was extremely cold. “Kick her out of showbiz.”Eric raised his eyebrows. ‘Isn’t this already expected? What a kind-hearted woman!’Before Charlotte could breathe a sigh of relief, Eric instructed a bodyguard, “Take her away.”“Yes, sir.”Eric stroked his defined brow bone.“Also, there seems to be a lack of education development in certain parts of Africa. Charlotte can volunteer to teach there to make up for her sins. She doesn’t need to come back again.”Charlotte’s face turned pale as she prostrated herself on the ground. She felt like her bones were removed from her body because she could not hold herself up.This meant that she would not only disappear from Mediania, but she would also disappear from the world at any time.Eric was really too crazy...The bodyguards did not give Charlotte a chance to beg for mercy and dragged her away by her arms.Although Nicole felt that this punishment was a little too heavy, Eric only did thi
After Nicole left Eric’s room, she did not forget about work and went downstairs to find Dominic Young.This matter was kept confidential. Aside from Dominic’s various speculations, others did not know what had happened exactly.Sadie and Charlotte’s agency officially submitted a withdrawal statement that was probably arranged by Eric.They were discussing who to hire to save the show and reduce losses.They filmed all day yesterday and had already replaced two people. Fortunately, it was only one day, so they could still hire new people to make up for the shoot in time.However, Nicole did not want to participate in the make-up shoot. Playing the same games again deliberately would feel too fake.It might also backfire with Nicole’s acting skills because she was not as professional as the actors.Dominic contacted a divorced actress, Zahra, who was a bigwig in the entertainment industry that could not be hired for regular variety shows.Somehow, Dominic managed to persuade Zah
Although Eric Ferguson saved Nicole, he still did not change his annoying habit.‘Huh, booking out the city’s LED screen to thank him? He just wants everyone to know that our relationship is not ordinary, right?’ Nicole secretly rolled her eyes.Yvette said, “But that woman is really ballsy to give you a spiked drink! Do you need my help to teach her a lesson?”Nicole smiled faintly, “Thanks, but it’s already resolved.”The punishment was also worse than just kicking the woman out of the entertainment industry.Yvette said, “Good job!”......After hanging up, Nicole felt a little hungry, but Dominic messaged everyone to gather at the venue immediately.Nicole rolled her eyes. ‘Ugh! Dominic really knows how to exploit people!’She slowly walked to the hotel entrance. Everyone had already left in their cars.Dominic had the good sense to wait for Nicole at the door.Nicole gave him a blank stare and got into the car.Dominic handed her a nicely packaged sandwich and milk. Ni
Yuliana took Nicole’s jacket from the side and sighed. “This Italian brand is a custom order, right? You can’t find another identical piece in this world!”Nicole was a little surprised that Yuliana did not rush to knock on Eric’s room door, but she also felt that Yuliana was not as frivolous, debauched, and shallow to chase fame and fortune as she appeared to be.At once, Nicole’s good impression of Yuliana multiplied.Nicole smiled politely. “Yes. If you like it, I can recommend the designer to you.”That designer was a famous craftsman in Italy. In the fashion circle, he only made clothes for two people a year. His style and thought process were simply excellent. Each piece of clothing was unique globally.It was not at all comparable to any big brand.Yuliana’s eyes lit up but instantly dimmed down.“Nevermind. My clothes are all sponsored, so what I wear is up to others.”Nicole smiled and did not insist.Yuliana casually handed Nicole’s jacket to Eric, who appeared behin
Nicole put away her phone, wanting to enjoy Xander’s tea-making process. She also instructed the cameraman on the side to film this.After all, Xander was the money tree that she wanted to make famous!In the next second, Yuliana twisted her voluptuous body toward Xander and casually put one hand on Xander’s shoulder as she looked at him with amazement.“Xander, you can also make tea? You’re amazing… I wanna learn too. Will you teach me? But I’m so slow…”The room was silent for a moment.Yuliana and Xander were in extreme proximity. Half of Yuliana’s body was leaning on Xander.Xander’s face was red. He lowered his head with a rare trace of shyness on his handsome face.“Sure… Sure…”Xander quickly agreed, but he tried to maintain his decency and reserve. He then lowered his head in panic.Nicole narrowed her eyes and was shocked for a moment. ‘What’s going on with them?’Even Livia, who was reading the script, was so startled that her hands shook slightly. She looked up at
After a busy morning, everyone was immune to Yuliana and Xander’s public display of affection.It was just that Nicole did not expect Xander and Yuliana to see eye to eye.How could two people who were clearly completely unsuitable for each other in terms of spouse selection conditions be paired together to create hype?However, this would not create a bad impact. Otherwise, Dominic would not be so keen to create opportunities for the couple.Nicole thought, ‘Looks like I’ll have to discuss with Dominic about the timing to expose this romance to create a huge hype online. I’ll need to earn back the money I spent to book out the entire city’s LED screens for Eric from my money tree, Xander!’Her eyes bounced between the couple as she started to cook up a lot of plans.Aside from Nicole, everyone could feel the cold aura that surrounded the man beside Nicole. He had a sullen and glum face that seemed to say, “Don’t mess with me!”“Wifey, where are you…?”Noises were coming from o
