Chapter 705 I’m Threatening You
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
Chapter 706 Full of Energy
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
Chapter 707 Duplicitous Woman
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
Chapter 708 Eric F*ckerson’s Confidence
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
Chapter 709 The Same People
Nicole was a little surprised. The project was proposed in secret, so only she, Grant, and Jacob Cook knew about it.Therefore, it was impossible for a word to get out.‘Why did Eric want this project too? How could there be such a coincidence?’Eric’s handsome face was cold as he curled the corners of his lips into a wide smile. His eyes were deep and dark.“Yes. I also didn’t know until now that we’re eyeing the same project.”For a while, the atmosphere was a bit stagnant.Mr. Lewis’ face stiffened. “Turns out you guys didn’t discuss it?”How awkward.Nicole laughed casually and frankly. “It’s okay. No matter who ends up with the project, it’s still worth a celebration.”Eric shook the wine glass in front of him. His eyes were dim and bottomless.Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation were both second to none. They were evenly matched in their background and strength.Any one of them taking on this project would be easy.However, what happens if both of them want i
Chapter 710 Give You a Pay Raise
The night was dark, like a block of ink that could not be melted.Eric looked at Nicole in silence for a while.His voice was deep as he said, “The cost of this project is too high. If you want to cross over to real estate, you might as well choose some good projects first…”Nicole’s face was indifferent. Her tone carried a nonchalant light laugh.“Mr. Ferguson, no prominent negotiator will use ‘you’re still young’ as their starting argument. Your ploys won’t work on me. I must get this project.”Eric’s eyes deepened for a moment.He had underestimated Nicole.Eric had never been able to see through Nicole. Since their divorce, he felt that Nicole was completely out of his control.The obsequious woman in his impression now had the ability to challenge the entire Ferguson Corporation.Eric was silent for a moment. His voice sank as he said, “This is about Ferguson Corporation’s development, so I won’t give way.”‘But if she really wants it, it’s not impossible…’ Eric’s heart
Chapter 711 Not a Smooth Meeting
Once Nicole got into the car, sleepiness struck her all of a sudden.Unknowingly, they arrived at the Stanton Mansion.Logan sat next to Nicole and helped her to organize the scattered documents. By the time Nicole got out of the car, it was already organized.Nicole entered the door with her things. She was still quite sleepy, but once she saw Grant there, she lost her sleepiness in an instant.“You’re still awake?”Floyd came out of the study. When he saw that Nicole was home, he came downstairs and sat down.Grant nodded. “I knew that you wouldn’t have a smooth night, so I waited for you.”Nicole asked, “How did you know?”Grant leaned back on the sofa. His posture was somewhat carefree. “Eric kept his desire for the Sand City project under wraps. My people in his company just learned about it.”Nicole pursed her lips. This arrangement was common, just as Eric had his people in Stanton Corporation.They just did a great job in keeping it secret.The butler brought Nicole
Chapter 712 Quite Pugnacious
After saying a few words, Nicole went upstairs to rest and felt pity for Maverick.Logan was very efficient. Nicole told Logan about a few things before going to bed last night. By the next day, all the materials of the company involved in the Sand City project were delivered to her desk.Nicole was a little surprised when she saw it.“You didn’t sleep all night?”Logan smiled. “This information isn’t difficult to get. It’s basically common knowledge for anyone in Sand City.”Nicole nodded, picked up her cup of coffee, and took a sip. When she flipped a page to take a look, she almost spat out her coffee.She thought that the reason this project lost money was because of some issues with the project. She did not expect it to be so rotten.The annual profit of Zico Company was always in the negative. They had hundreds of employees that took money from unemployment benefits to do the company’s dirty work.This rotten project became Zico Company’s only source of income. Due to var
