Nicole frowned and agreed to go home.After parting with Yvette, she went straight to the Stanton Mansion.Clayton was in the living room with Kai and Floyd. Floyd had always appreciated Clayton’s gentle and modest nature that was not arrogant. His reserve and calmness made him seem very reliable.As soon as Nicole went into the house, she saw Lil Michael dragging his small suitcase and coming down the stairs reluctantly. His eyes were red.“Pretty Lady…” Lil Michael ran over aggrievedly and hugged Nicole.Nicole hugged him back and suddenly felt very sad.Lil Michael lived in the Stanton Mansion for so long that he had long been a part of their family.However, they were clear that Clayton’s feelings for Lil Michael were much more profound.Clayton stood up and smiled at Nicole.“The problems abroad held up many days of Michael’s schooling. I’ve enrolled him in school, which will start soon, so it can’t be delayed further.”Floyd sighed at the side. He was very reluctant.“
Nicole turned around and went into the living room just as she saw Kai humming a tune and walking to the kitchen.That was strange.On normal days, Kai would not even step foot into the kitchen if Floyd did not force him to.What was wrong with him today?Floyd was sad for a while and sat in the living room, watching TV. He was recently into a period drama.Nicole was just about to join her father when she heard someone coming down the stairs.Maverick was walking down the steps as he sighed inexplicably.‘Mav is home?!’“Mav, did you come home alone? Molly didn’t come back with you?”Maverick’s face stiffened. This was obviously poking his sore spot.Floyd lifted his eyelids and did not want to speak.Maverick touched his nose. His elegant face had a hint of embarrassment.“I’m going back to the research institute tomorrow because it’s about time to get back to work. Molly’s staying at home for a while longer.”Nicole nodded and watched as Maverick walked toward the kitch
Eric was afraid that others might not know that the picture was meant for Nicole.Nicole was speechless and cursed him a million times in her heart. ‘This son of a b*tch is crazy! Can’t he just focus on being a good boss? What’s the point of him always thinking about conquering the kitchen? Also, why does he have to involve me and drag me into his sh*t from time to time?! What the hell!’There were all sorts of praises below Eric’s post.[Mr. Ferguson, the desserts you made look amazing!][That’s awesome! How blessed would it be to try Mr. Ferguson’s cooking?][Sincerity is the key to success!]......Nicole grunted. ‘Haha! If I give them this “blessing”, will they dare to take it?’After a while, Keith finally could not help but ask what was on everyone’s mind. [Honestly, did you really make these with your own hands?!]At least there were still people who were not willing to blatantly lie.Not long after, Eric finally replied.[No, but I tasted them myself.]The answer
Toto coughed. “Mr. Ferguson, it’s all cleaned up. Do you…”Eric nodded indifferently. “Have someone replace the broken microwave oven. Don’t work with this brand again. Their quality is just garbage!”The corners of Toto’s lips twitched as he thought, ‘You’re clearly just using it the wrong way!’“Yes, sir.”Although Toto thought that in his heart, he still readily agreed to whatever Eric said because whatever the boss said was always right.“By the way, I heard Mitchell say that a woman who knows you wants to work for Ferguson Corporation, but you were busy all day…”Toto frowned as he thought of what Mitchell told him before leaving the office. Mitchell instructed him to make sure to mention this matter to Eric.Eric looked indifferent. “What woman? I don’t know her.”Toto understood and immediately relayed Eric’s original message to Mitchell.Two days later.Gremlin Club.The weather was still a bit chilly. Everyone was wrapped in thick clothes when they were out.Howeve
Julie paused and interrupted Nicole.“Lil N, I’m not gonna lie to you. I do still have feelings for Kai, but… That kind of feeling is like standing on the edge of a cliff with a knife hanging overhead. It’s so uncertain and scary. I can’t handle another loss like that, so I’d rather not go through that.”This kind of relationship was different from her relationship with Roman.Julie was always indifferent and wary of Roman. She always knew that their relationship would come to an end, but with Kai, her heart was moved.Nicole was silent for a moment. She smiled and nodded.She understood that a partner was more important to Julie than anything else because he would be her only family for life.However, who could guarantee that the flirtatious and amorous Kai would always give Julie so much passion and love?People who did not have the slightest sense of security would not easily trust and give away their hearts.Julie did not want to be abandoned once again.Nicole took a deep
Keith walked away dejected.Eric shook his head and watched. Keith looked so smug when he went over to Nicole, but when he came back, he looked like this. Nicole was really amazing!She could even clean up such a shameless guy like Keith Ludwig.The people not far away came over to exchange pleasantries and noticed Eric’s obviously different attitude. They were enthusiastic and polite.“Welcome, Mr. Ferguson…”Eric raised his glass in gesture. Before he could retract his hand, someone next to him suddenly crashed into him.The red wine poured all over his body.The disgust in Eric’s eyes had not yet faded when the person who crashed into him was about to jump into his arms.It was a woman.At once, his gaze darkened and turned cold. He was quick to take a few steps back to give way for the woman to fall.He did not want this woman to touch him.In front of Nicole, moral integrity was the most basic quality he had to keep.“Ah…”After a miserable scream and a clatter, there
That supervisor on the side heard this. His heart suddenly thumped.His face changed slightly.Nicole was present at the event. How could he ask Nicole’s cousin to be a waitress?Could it be that a high-society lady wanted to experience life as a commoner?On the other side, Eric pondered for a moment. His face was indifferent as he looked at the supervisor next to Xandria.Eric took off his soiled jacket and said in a stern tone, “Let her pay for it.”The words were brief and concise without another word of nonsense.Originally, Eric did not want to make a big deal out of it, but since it involved Nicole, Nicole would probably come forward.That way, he could have the opportunity to meet with her alone.Eric was secretly gloating over his brilliant idea.The supervisor looked at Eric incredulously, but he dared not question the man. He immediately responded after showing his surprise.The luxury Italian hand-made blazer that Eric wore was a limited-edition piece globally. O
Nicole and Julie were shocked.Subsequently, Nicole frowned and looked at the man. “Mr. Ferguson, didn’t you leave yet?”Eric paused for a moment. His expression was a bit cool.“I’m waiting for you.”“Why are you waiting for me?”Nicole was confused. It was a cold day and she still wanted to catch the next party with Julie.Eric’s eyes were sunken, and his eyebrows were stern. He looked at her and reminded her. “Your cousin soiled my clothes…”‘I won’t get calculative…’ Before Eric could finish his sentence, Nicole let out a cold laugh.“She’s not my cousin. If you want to find her, just contact her directly. Don’t go through me. I’m not a fool that will pay for others. If anyone tries to cheat you under the guise of being related to me, please call the police. Thank you.”Her eyes were nonchalant with a cold undertone.Nicole admitted that she was disgusted by that woman, Xandria.Eric did not expect Nicole to react this way. If he had not seen Xandria at the Stanton Man
