Toto looked at Eric’s glum face and patiently explained, “Mr. Ferguson, if you only make this post visible to Ms. Stanton alone, it’ll be useless if she blocks you. Although this is a little drop in your character, you must endure this for the sake of Ms. Stanton!”Eric was annoyed, but he kept telling himself that everything was for Nicole.One minute... Two minutes...Eric waited until his patience was almost exhausted. His face was getting darker by the minute. If Nicole did not call him, he would first delete that post, then chop Toto into pieces!Just when Toto felt the chill down his spine to the soles of his feet, making his legs go limp, Eric’s phone rang.Toto finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed Eric his expensive phone apprehensively. “When Ms. Stanton talks to you, don’t be too aggressive or enthusiastic, and don’t take the initiative to apologize or delete the post!”Eric pursed his lips and did not say anything as he calmly took his phone.His heart was p
Clayton Sloan was needed the most in such a meeting, but he was absent.The meeting room was well heated, but a light chill could still be felt.Gerard Lichman smiled. “Mr. Sloan is still abroad and can’t attend the meeting. We’ll send him a copy of the minutes afterward.”Nicole frowned but did not say anything. She took a seat and looked at the prepared materials.Eric tried very hard not to look at her, but his gaze still landed on her anyway.Nicole was like a gravitational vortex that Eric could not ignore. He would want to see her from time to time.When Eric heard her mention Clayton, he could not help but sneer.‘He should be abroad now trying to salvage the project… He deserves it because I dislike the way he’s hovering around Nicole.’Listening to Gerard’s report, Eric’s cold and solemn attitude made others feel more pressured.Gerard looked at those two people who did not communicate with each other and felt apprehensive. Every meeting was like a psychological war.
Gerard Lichman watched with great interest. The greatest result they achieved for this psychological testing device was the collection of the world’s most notable cases and processes of treating various mental illnesses. The data from the tests could be used to peer into the patient’s deepest emotional fluctuations and thoughts. It would further guide the patient with self-healing techniques.What made this different from regular therapists was that the treatment process would not involve another human.It would be an honest and balanced dialogue between the human and machine.Artificial intelligence as a “psychiatrist” would have enough data and settings so that the patient would trust the artificial intelligence system for targeted treatment and psychological intervention.Regardless of the patient’s past and issues, there would be no betrayal or risk of privacy exposure, which was extremely attractive to the patients.The results of this research would certainly cause a huge se
Somehow, Nicole felt that Eric coming in here was more mysterious.The system paused for a moment, obviously not expecting Nicole to have such a request.In less than ten seconds, someone came in the door.It was Gerard Lichman.He looked at Nicole with a smirk. “According to the rules, you can’t, but since you’re President Nicole Stanton, we’ll make an exception.”Nicole raised her eyebrows and thought, ‘I guess it’s enough for one of us to try it out. I don’t wanna be a guinea pig…’Gerard snapped his fingers to automatically reset the system. The wall in front of them slowly became transparent.Nicole faintly glanced at Gerard and curled her lips. “This wall material should be pretty costly, huh?”Gerard smiled and lowered his voice. “We use the world’s highest-quality materials so that it’s safe and secure.”She looked at the man standing on the other side of the wall. His hawk-like eyes examined the surroundings.The environment he was in was bright, like the villa in Im
Gerard and Nicole went to the lounge to drink tea. To be precise, they were listening to Tucker’s report.Halfway through, Gerard received a phone call and went out. Nicole sat there slowly drinking tea.After less than fifteen minutes, Nicole vaguely heard Eric reprimanding voice.Nicole paused and got up. Before she went out, she heard Eric speaking to Gerard in a cold tone.“What bullsh*t intelligent psychiatrist is that? It can’t solve my problem so it asked me to forget it? Do I need it to tell me that forgetting can solve the problem?!”Gerard asked, “Then who does it want you to forget?”“Get lost!”Nicole sat back in her seat, half-hugging her arms.Eric and Gerard walked in one after the other. Eric obviously looked unhappy. “This project should be postponed. The system is rigid and not flexible enough. It can’t even guess one percent of the human psyche, so how is it supposed to shock the world?”Gerard looked bitter and aggrieved.Nicole pursed her lips. “Find a fe
Eric frowned. He hated seeing Keith like this.“You’re so annoying. Get out!”Keith felt even more despair. ‘Where’s the brotherly love?!’Eric sat there and said in a cold tone, “What do you want? If you have nothing to say, then leave.”‘Does he think that my office is a bar?’ Eric thought.Keith pursed his lips and looked very haggard.“Why aren’t you upset at all? We’re both in the same boat and have the same predicament! You can’t chase Nicole, and I can’t get my wife back.”Eric raised his eyes and reached out to rub his glabella.‘Ugh, he’s so annoying!’ Eric thought.“So what?”‘Does he want me to hug him and cry together?!’Keith paused. His eyes were still a little red.“She blocked me, so I can’t contact her anymore. What should I do?”Eric was speechless. He had experienced everything that Keith was experiencing. ‘Tsk, he can’t even bear this?’He looked at Keith with disdain and thought that Keith was incompetent.“Figure it out yourself!”Keith covered his
Nearing the New Year.Nicole handed over the company’s affairs to others and engaged in more social activities.They arranged some unimportant events in the days before the New Year since everyone would be busy after the New Year.Grant was dealing with their overseas business while Nicole handled the domestic affairs.Floyd brought Kai and Lil Michael to do some New Year shopping. The superstar was often photographed going in and out of major supermarkets around the city.Maverick also had some time off from his research institute, but he was never in the mood to celebrate the New Year. Floyd had to call Maverick several times to make sure that he would be home for the New Year.Finally, it was New Year’s Eve.Nicole gave everyone a holiday and was the last one to leave the office.As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Clayton standing at the door.After a long time of not seeing him, Clayton was still so gentle and modest, which gave off a very comforting feeling.However
Nicole’s words were a slap in the face for the Fergusons. When she was married to Eric Ferguson, the Fergusons were afraid that she spent a penny more of their money.Now that she was divorced, Old Master Ferguson wanted to give her an expensive New Year's gift?That was a little too ridiculous.The old man also heard the taunt in Nicole’s words. His expression changed dramatically, and the furrow between his eyebrows deepened.Just when Nicole thought that he would burst out in anger, Old Master Ferguson laughed.“We’re family, so there’s no such thing as taking advantage. You’re still too young, child.”Nicole raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she did not intend to look into the old man’s change in attitude.She glanced at Clayton, who tacitly went forward to hold her waist gently.“Let’s go in. Goodbye, Chairman Ferguson.”Nicole and Clayton’s interaction was intimate and was very piercing to Old Master Ferguson.‘Clayton Sloan? Hah! What kind of person dares to compare
