As soon as the shooting started, everyone consciously shut up and became silent.The environment of the meeting room was already solemn. With Eric’s aura, even the interviewer felt pressured.Toto was just about to walk out when he watched Eric raise his hands and put them on the table.Eric sat there. He looked stern and weary, and his breath had a strong coldness.However, everyone clearly spotted that on Eric’s hands that were folded together on the table, there was a ring on his left ring finger.The Single!Toto froze.The moment Toto hesitated, he suddenly met Eric’s dark and cold line of sight. He shivered and did not dare to stay longer, then ran out in silence.Toto only sighed in relief after going out.The ring finger on the left hand represented marriage.The Single was a ring designed by Stanton Corporation for single people, but Eric actually wore it on his ring finger?He was really crazy about Nicole!However, he would not have to worry about it soon. Once t
Logan turned and left.Nicole continued to read the proposal. Their investment direction could not be limited to one aspect, and Grant had already proposed to step into real estate again.Everyone knew that the real estate industry had not been prosperous in recent years.However, it was because it was not prosperous that some people would take risks and win.Thus, when Grant proposed this plan, Nicole was persuaded as well.The AI project had gradually stabilized and was unlikely to deviate from the track, so their energy could be shifted in other directions.In the afternoon.Grant and Nicole discussed the plan of giving the project team a “surprise attack”.Nicole wore a white shirt and a slim and slender fishtail skirt, outlining her thin waist and long, straight legs. She went to the project department in her high heels.She stood in the middle of her crowd, looking bright and noble. Even Grant walked behind her.Everyone in the project department knew who Nicole was. Sh
Nicole glanced at Logan. Her words could not compare to a group photo that Xandria took out. How ridiculous!“Ms. Xandria is still in her internship period. Whether she can stay or not is her problem, but if Mr. Cook wants to give up his position, we have no problem with that…”Jacob instantly went ashen.Nicole’s words clearly meant that she did not want to be Xandria’s backer.He sucked up to the wrong person!It was time to get down to business.Nicole walked over to sit on the sofa, reached out, and took the documents that Logan handed over.“To be honest, Stanton Corporation has been flourishing this year. We have project after project, but it seems none of them have anything to do with you.”The AI project was Nicole’s achievements, and the big projects were all a result of Grant’s operations. The rest were cooperation with brands under Stanton Corporation.In that case, what was the significance of the project team’s existence?Jacob looked at Grant in a panic, but Gra
Jacob’s body felt cold.Xandria came in with coffee. “Mr. Cook, have my cousins left?”Jacob gave her a complicated look, pursed his lips, and pointed to her small desk.“Move your things out. You’ll be like everyone else in the future. Do what you have to do!”Xandria’s face froze. “Did you misunderstand something? As you saw earlier, Nicole and Grant are my cousins!”“There’s no misunderstanding. The company treats everyone equally. In addition, I suggest that you change that group photo on your desktop wallpaper. There shouldn’t be such a bad influence existing in the company. Merit should always be the most important.”Jacob took a deep breath. As a middle-aged man who almost lost his job, he had to take every step steadily and properly!“W-Why?”Xandria did not understand. Why did Jacob’s attitude towards her change so much after Nicole and Grant came?Did Nicole and Grant say something to him?“Because this is my territory!” Jacob said impatiently. “If you’re not satisf
Nicole looked up. Her facial features were stunning, and her temperament was clear. Her indifference was something that came from her bones. She sat opposite Xandria, who was standing, it was like looking at two opposite ends of the spectrum.“Xandria, you should know how you managed to get into the company. With your resume and ability, it’s impossible for you to join Stanton Corporation. Since we’re relatives, I didn’t tell HR to dismiss you immediately and gave you a chance to see your performance. If you continue to take advantage of our relationship and try to act like you’re special in the company, I’ll make it so that no company will want to hire you after I dismiss you!”Nicole smiled faintly as if she was talking about a trivial matter, but Xandria’s face went white.She was threatening Xandria. It was simply a naked threat!However, it just so happened that Xandria could not say a word in response to that threat.In the end, she could only purse her lips.“Nicole, I was
Nicole reached out and caressed the ring on her hand. It was cold, elegant, delicate, and beautiful.Logan said, “By the way, Mr. Ferguson participated in a program and surprisingly wore ‘The Single’, bringing us a lot of hype and traffic. Everyone online is talking about it. Do we need to respond?”When Nicole heard Eric’s name, she felt like her head was about to explode.They clearly did not cross paths, but Eric seemed to be lingering in her life every day.It was so weird, like a ghost haunting her.Nicole paused for a few seconds before she recovered her expression. “No, let him act in his own one-man show.”Logan nodded and knew what Nicole meant. He then arranged the next steps.It was late afternoon.Nicole picked up Jacob Cook and took Logan with her to the vacation villa where she had made an appointment.To socialize with people of this status, secrecy was most important. Thus, they went to the vacation villa in which the general public could not enter. There were
There was a gloomy chill in the air.Nicole did not know why Eric was here, but she did not have time to think about it. She smiled as she walked over and extended her hand to exchange pleasantries.“Mr. Lewis, sorry for the long wait...”The slightly chubby Mr. Lewis smiled and shook her hand. “I’ve also just arrived. Ms. Stanton, you’re really more beautiful than celebrities. No wonder the netizens are asking you to make your debut in showbiz!”Nicole laughed. “You’re kidding. How can I compare with celebrities? I’m just a conscientious worker bee.”Mr. Lewis did not expect Nicole to be so down-to-earth. The atmosphere was easy-going.He turned his head to ask, “Mr. Ferguson, don’t you think that Ms. Stanton is much prettier than celebrities? Her temperament can completely win over those women in a second.”Eric’s voice was low and raspy. “Yeah, you’re right.”Mr. Lewis laughed and turned around. “Mr. Ferguson asked me to meet in advance, but my secretary didn’t arrange the t
In the next second, Nicole came back to her senses and pushed his hand away, leaving his embrace.‘Ugh, Eric F*ckerson just wants to show off all the time!’A single sentence from him made her gratitude disappear.Nicole flipped her hair as if nothing had happened. “You think too much. Thanks.”Eric wrinkled his eyebrows. ‘Her attitude changed a little too fast, right?’He moved closer to her and said in a low voice, “That’s it? Just one word of thanks? Ms. Stanton, you’re so stingy.”‘What else did he want?’ Nicole suddenly regretted not falling down. ‘If I fell, I would’ve just felt a pang of pain. That’s still better than letting this jerk torment me!’Thinking of this, she looked up at him helplessly. “Then how do you want me to thank you?”‘I only fell because of you!’ Nicole thought, but she would never tell him this.The two of them were extremely close. The tobacco smell on his body seemed to have faded, and only the fragrance of tea remained. It was a very comfortab
