Clayton’s words silenced the surroundings.Nicole froze for a moment.Before the divorce, Nicole did think about that when she was living alone in Imperial Gardens, where she voluntarily imprisoned herself because of that promise.Nicole wondered countless times what would have happened if another man had saved her instead.Would she have passed by the underground fight club on that street corner, gone in, and rescued Eric?Maybe everything would have been rewritten.Nicole lowered her eyes. Her fingers touched the pattern on the cup.“I never think about things that didn’t happen, and I never regret the decisions I made.”It was not Nicole’s style to dwell on the sad past.Even if she made the wrong decision and regretted it, Nicole could only grit her teeth and move on.Would she deny that time of her life when she had a crush on him?No, he did save her many times.She had no regrets after.Nicole’s words stunned Clayton a little. He had wanted to hear that Nicole regre
The moonlight was beautiful. Nicole and Clayton finished their coffee and walked back to the hotel along the small path.Nicole thought that Clayton was just walking her back to the hotel like a gentleman, but when she got to her room, Clayton did not look like he had the intention to leave. She then watched in amazement as he took out a room card from his pocket.‘Oh, he’s staying in the opposite room…’Nicole raised an eyebrow. It was not uncommon to stay in the same hotel. He was just walking her back on the way to his room.Clayton smiled and watched her open the door. “Goodnight.”Nicole nodded. “Sweet dreams.”She went in and let out a sigh of relief before sending Logan a text and washing up for bed.Nicole turned off her phone before going to bed so that no one would disturb her sleep.The moonlight was gentle, hazy, and tranquil.Early in the morning, the alarm clock she set woke her up.Nicole freshened up and heard the doorbell.It was Logan.He handed her the tw
Nicole got out of the car indifferently. She expected the reporters’ arrival, so she did not panic and came prepared.Once she was outside, she smiled faintly and followed the bodyguard towards the lobby of her office building.The reporters did not want to let go of this opportunity and bombarded her with questions.“Ms. Stanton, is the city-wide display last night your confession to Mr. Ferguson? Are the two of you going to remarry each other?”“Ms. Stanton, may I ask what the phrase ‘I, Nicole Stanton, would like to thank Eric Ferguson, the best person in the world’ means?”“Ms. Stanton, were you with Mr. Ferguson last night?”“Ms. Stanton, can you tell us about the expenses spent last night?”......Nicole kept a light smile. Her hair was casually tied up to reveal her small ears as well as the delicate and low-profile but expensive earrings.She was inadvertently modeling the jewelry on her in every movement and shot of her side profile.Just when everyone thought that N
Soon, the pre-orders for Stanton Corporation’s latest collection of jewelry exceeded the expected sales and once again broke past records.The series of clothes from Ferguson Corporation was also sold out in all major distribution channels.Globally, the stocks of the two corporations rose at shocking rates within a day.It was a win-win situation.Nicole conquered this wave beautifully.She sat in her office and spun around in her chair with ease. Her phone on the table constantly vibrated.Everyone admired her to the core!Logan knocked on the door and came in. “The reporters have all gone back. We’ve also made arrangements with the media platforms.”Nicole nodded. “Make sure the jewelry is prepared adequately. Pay more attention to ensure our quality. If there isn’t enough, suspend the pre-orders first.”Logan nodded with a straight face. “Understood.”Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. Her legs were resting on the table with unrestrained laziness. She tapped her fingers on
Eric’s gaze deepened as his face turned unbearably glum. “Satisfied?”His intention was simply to complicate their relationship a little more.It was best if they were so entangled with each other that they could not explain clearly.However, Nicole actually spelled it out clearly.His chest felt very stuffy.Thinking of the scene when Nicole played a piano duet with Clayton last night and even won the couple’s prize which he paid for, Eric could hardly control his outburst.Eric, who had always been great at scheming, thought, ‘What did I get in this?!’Nicole smiled, revealing her shallow dimples and a bit of pride.“In such moments, I didn’t forget the principle of making money together. I saw that your Ferguson Corporation’s stock has gone up a lot. Your sales this season have been driven up too. Mr. Ferguson, you can’t say that I’m stingy. This is a solid thank you gift!”Grant listened on the side and almost laughed out loud. ‘Haha, my sister’s so practical! If I were Er
Grant knew that Nicole must have wanted to take this opportunity to bleed Eric dry.He looked at Eric and said in a flat voice, “Mr. Ferguson, I’ll transfer you the money later.”Nicole was stunned.Eric’s eyebrows tightened. “No need, since it’s an event, it should be impartial.”Grant frowned and wanted to say that Nicole and Clayton were not a couple, so they did not qualify.However, Eric lowered his eyes and let out a low chuckle.His voice was deep. “What’s more, I should waive her bills.”Eric prayed for this opportunity.Nicole and Grant were speechless.At that moment, Logan came in with a tray of dishes that were all according to the three bosses’ tastes.Midway through the meal, Nicole received an urgent phone call and left the table.Eric and Grant were left in the room, staring at each other. They barely had an appetite facing each other, but out of courtesy, no one proposed to end the meal and they both insisted on finishing their food. They were both courteous
After Nicole was done handling an urgent work matter, she received a call from Kai and went over to his set.Kai had always been very casual on a normal basis, but when he was on set, he never took it lightly. At work, he was very professional, meticulous, and very well-respected.When Nicole received Kai’s call, he only said that there was an urgent matter and asked her to hurry over.Thus, Nicole went over and was stunned when she saw the people around talking and laughing.Kai came out of the crowd and said, “Lil N, here!”He waved his hand towards her excitedly.Nicole was speechless.Seeing Nicole’s face that looked like she was about to lose her temper, Kai dared not delay another moment and ran over immediately.“Lil N, did you eat yet? I kept a box of takeout for you…”Nicole’s face turned even gloomier as her chest heaved violently. She realized that she was cheated by her third brother.“Takeout?! I ditched dinner with Grant just to come here and eat takeout with yo
Kai was hardworking and had a gentle personality and a strong family background. He even looked so pleasing to the eye when he was cooking.He was really well-trained by Floyd.Julie was stunned for a moment. She converged her eyebrows and chuckled. “Kai has always been the most handsome man.”Nicole could feel Julie’s sorrow that seemed to originate from Kai.Somehow, Nicole felt like the two of them might really have a chance to be together.Roman was sitting there silently like a prop. Although he was a little restrained, he did not try to excessively prove himself.Nicole paused. “By the way, how did you meet Keith Ludwig’s ex-wife?”Ever since that memorable wedding reception, Nicole was a little curious.Julie said, “She’s participated in some events in the past as Keith’s wife, but she was shunned by others probably because Keith didn’t care about her then. I saw that she looked quite pitiful, so we somehow got acquainted.”Nicole nodded. ‘No wonder…’“Yeah, she’s quit
