Nicole finally raised her eyes and seriously sized up the bartender. ‘Is he trying to flirt with me? He’s pretty good-looking though, with beautiful features and seductive eyes. I gotta say, he’s quite attractive. No wonder he dares to be so blatant. I’m afraid that many young lady customers are drooling over his face.’Unfortunately, Nicole had seen too many good-looking guys and she did not like his type.She hooked her lips and said in a clear and light voice, “I don’t like this cocktail.”The bartender smiled frivolously. “So picky, huh?”It was not like he had never met a woman who did not pay for the bill, so he did not care.After all, the woman he hooked up with could spend hundreds of thousands here, so the boss could not wait to hold him up.Nicole smiled lazily. “Aren’t you too blindly confident to use a cup of cheap cocktail to pick up women?”The person opposite was stunned.The colorful lights flickered dimly in every corner.The bartender narrowed his eyes and s
As soon as Sean Moore said this, the others started to coax.Sean was their mainstay, and his words certainly carried great weight.“Ms. Quimbey, you don’t dare? Three contracts and a French kiss. No matter how you calculate, you have the advantage!”“That’s right, Ms. Quimbey! If you can charm Mr. Moore, even if you do end up losing, there may be a turnaround…”“Ms. Quimbey, if you don’t dare, you can even let your friend replace you.”Some people turned to look at Nicole.Nicole’s face was slightly sunken. Before Nicole could speak, Yvette got anxious.“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a game anyway!”Before Nicole had time to stop her, Yvette had already blurted out.Nicole pulled Yvette and explained in a whisper. “Sean Moore isn’t a simple guy. Let’s forget it. It’s okay if you can’t sign today.”Since they attended this gathering, it meant that they had a willingness to cooperate with the Quimbeys.Nicole looked at Sean, who had a specious smile on his face and
Yvette followed Sean Moore outside, but before the door closed, Sean embraced her and said, “Ms. Quimbey, there’s no one watching now, so why don’t you take the initiative?”Sean came close to her with an unfamiliar minty scent on his body.Although Yvette did not have any feelings for him and that he was not her type in all aspects, this man still looked passable up close. He was a little better-looking than some young budding actors.‘Forget it, I’ll just close my eyes and get it over with.’ Yvette thought.Yvette smiled slightly inebriated. “Mr. Moore, even if you’re not skilled, I won’t laugh at you.”Even though she lost, she still had to maintain her dignity.She just wanted to irritate him.Yvette saw that Sean’s face changed slightly. The next second, Yvette closed her eyes and leaned into him.Before Yvette could get creative, Sean had already taken the initiative.His tongue explored her mouth aggressively like a sudden storm, which caused a choking sensation. Yvette
Nicole was obviously on guard. If Sean Moore sent Yvette home, Yvette would be walking into a lion’s den.Yvette also did not want to have any entanglement with Sean. Anyway, since the contract was not signed, why would she still waste her time to please him?Dream on!“No, thanks. We’ve all had too much to drink tonight, so let’s go back separately.”Yvette took Nicole’s arm. “Let’s go?”Before they left, Yvette went inside to apologize to the rest of the guests, then instructed her assistant to wrap up the aftermath. She then took her things and strutted out.When Yvette reached the door, she had a smile on her face but did not look much better.Before Nicole could ask if Yvette was uncomfortable, Nicole saw that Grant also followed them out.Yvette smiled and was just about to go up to say hello when she saw another person behind Grant.It was a woman who looked extremely gentle and beautiful.“Aida?”Grant had been cold-faced until he turned around and showed a warm smil
No one said it explicitly, but Nicole knew Yvette’s heart. Since Yvette did not say it, Nicole pretended not to know.Grant’s attitude toward Yvette was always based on the fact that she was Nicole’s best friend. There was no difference between the way Grant treated Yvette and Julie.Grant was indifferent to any woman who offered him attention, and Nicole always thought that it would be very difficult for him to get a girlfriend.However, what Nicole saw today showed that there seemed to be exceptions, like Aida Webber.Yvette could not stand it any longer. She suddenly hunched over, squatted down, and hugged herself.Her shoulders were trembling because she was crying.It was the most desperate silent cry.Nicole sighed.She naturally favored her best friend, but she could not possibly force Grant to like Yvette.Nicole squatted down next to Yvette without saying a word.Yvette’s sobs made Nicole think about some sad past. She suddenly felt a stinging pain in her heart that
Nicole pointed to the car that was parked just a few steps away. “No need. My driver will send us. Goodbye.”As she said that, Nicole took advantage of the shadows in the night to block Yvette behind her and pulled Yvette into the car.Eric was only preoccupied with Nicole and would not pay any attention to the person next to her.Thus, Eric did not notice anything wrong at all.Nicole was just about to close the door when a big hand stopped her.His fingers were slender and beautiful, but strong.Half of Eric’s face was sunk in the shadows. The side of his face was dark and handsome. He looked like he had something to say.Nicole looked at him.Eric struggled for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said in a deep and hoarse voice, “Nicole, will you hate me if I appear so often? I just want to see you. I don’t want to cause you any trouble…”His voice was cautious.Nicole froze for a moment and stared at his face for a long time.Are these words that Eric Ferguson wo
Yvette suddenly smiled with a hint of despair.She turned around and walked inside, then took out a few bottles of expensive red wine from the wine cabinet and put them on the table.Nicole sighed. “It’s not like you can control it.”Yvette was silent for a moment. She suddenly slapped herself in the face, hard as hell.Nicole’s heart trembled as she went over to stop Yvette.“Yvette!”Nicole was heartbroken to see Yvette like this.Yvette was usually the most carefree and spontaneous one, but once the secret in her heart was revealed, her emotions were like floodwater that could no longer be controlled.A flash of disgust crossed Grant’s eyes when he saw Yvette’s passionate kiss with Sean Moore, which Yvette keenly noticed.Yvette could no longer stay calm.She knew that there was no hope for her.In Grant’s world, Yvette had never been in the game.If Yvette had not been Nicole’s best friend, Grant would not have even made a point to remember her name.Yvette poured a gl
Nicole frowned, then laughed. Yvette’s words reflected her temper – straightforward but also sharp.“What’s more, perhaps last night I was only so sad because I was drunk and lost the contract. Luckily you were by my side and didn’t let me embarrass myself. Otherwise, how can I meet people in the future?”Whether what Yvette said was true or not, Nicole could hear that Yvette truly intended to let go of her love for Grant.Nicole went over to hug Yvette and sighed. “Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to a better man! There are millions of men in the world. Besides, making money is the most important. It’s not worth wasting your time on such things!”Yvette was speechless, but what Nicole said seemed quite reasonable.She needed time to digest these on her own, so Nicole left early to go to the office.Nicole had spare clothes in her office. After she changed into a new outfit and put on light makeup, Nicole looked refreshed and stunning.Logan knocked on the door and came in. He re
