Asher saw Nicole’s cold attitude and decided to take a different approach.Since the emotional route did not work, he tried to throw out the bait.After all, there were too many countries in Mediania that wanted to cooperate with Cyndro International.Nicole smiled and lifted her eyes coldly.“Sorry, but I don’t think we have a chance to cooperate.”When Clayton heard this, he understood that Asher and Nicole were just acquaintances.Clayton looked at the coldness on Nicole’s face and walked forward with a smile, putting his hand gently on her shoulder.“Didn’t you say that you wanted to watch a movie? It’s about time…”Nicole looked at him and smiled, nodding naturally.“Then let’s go!”The two of them left under Asher’s gaze.Asher cursed silently and helplessly finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.Mitchell saw the scene earlier clearly.He walked over. “Mr. Sullivan, do you know Ms. Stanton?”Asher nodded and did not hide it since Mitchell was one of Eric’s men.
Seeing Nicole fall silent, Clayton pursed his lips.“I’m sorry. I’m not trying to force you into anything, but you promised me that you’ll give me a chance. You… Won’t go back on your word, right?”Nicole bit her lower lip and suddenly felt her face burn up a little.She thought it might be because of the lack of air circulation in the confined space of the car.“I won’t.”She answered quickly and immediately changed the topic.“Mr. Sloan, aren’t you curious about how Asher and I met?”Clayton paused and smiled. “How did you meet?”Nicole was eager to make the atmosphere casual and normal again, so she simply spoke of the past.“Asher was just a low-level manager in Cyndro International a few years ago. I worked under him when I was interning abroad.”Clayton looked at her in surprise.There was too much information in her words.With her background in Stanton Corporation, did Nicole still need an internship?Did Asher become the Vice President of Cyndro International in j
Nicole did not mind. It was just to pass the time anyway.Clayton led her into the hall. The entrance was dark, and Nicole could not really see, so she followed after him and asked, “Are the seats you bought in the front or back?”Clayton did not answer.When he got in front of the screen and there was enough light, he took out a thick stack of tickets from his pocket.Nicole was shocked for a moment.Clayton said calmly, “Feel free to pick any…”He bought out the entire hall.Looking at Nicole’s shocked expression, Clayton’s eyes turned gentle as he explained, “I was afraid that it’ll cause a misunderstanding if others saw us watching a movie together, so I figured I might as well not let anyone see us. I’ll wait until you’re willing to be seen by others.”No matter how heartless, careless, or unreasonable Nicole was, Clayton still accommodated her worries.He had already thought about all the words that she could not speak easily.Nicole lowered her eyes and felt particular
Nicole was just about to laugh and discuss with Clayton about the predictable plot, only to turn to the side and see Clayton’s pale face as he covered his face.He did not dare to look at the screen at all!Nicole was a little surprised. ‘A man like him is afraid of this?’“Mr. Sloan, are you alright?”When Clayton heard Nicole’s voice, he pursed his lips, put his hands down, and turned to look at her as if nothing was wrong.“Yeah, I’m fine.”However, his smile was a little wan.Nicole laughed. She could not help but laugh when she realized that Clayton was afraid of horror films.“Look, the girl should be pulling the door instead. The door won’t open because she’s pushing it…”Clayton turned his head to look, just in time to see a female ghost with long hair suddenly appear on the screen. He jumped in fear.There was some surprise in those dark eyes, and his finger bones were well defined as he grabbed onto the armrest. He looked like he was in shock.He said in a hoarse v
After saying that, Nicole carried Tigger and went upstairs.Grant came down the stairs, his face as cold as ever.“Didn’t the party end long ago?”“I had something to do. Do you know about what happened with the Ferguson family?”Grant had always been well-informed. News about Cyndro International belonging to Eric had already spread before the banquet was over.Although it was surprising, it was not earth-shattering news.He nodded. “Didn’t you intern at Cyndro International for a while? They don’t know about it, do they?”Nicole pursed her lips. “Eric shouldn’t know, but Asher probably does. It’s fine if they know. They won’t dare to bring it up and announce it anyway.”Grant thought about it. There was no emotion on his cold face as he said, “I’m afraid it won’t be quiet for a while after Ferguson Corporation’s reshuffle. Ferguson Corporation’s side branches will lose benefits and kick up a fuss. We can just watch from a distance this time.”Nicole was surprised for a momen
Although the workplace had always clamored for gender equality, when it came to measuring room for improvement, everyone was still involuntarily biased to women.Eric was silent and did not speak.Asher said, “But I’m more optimistic about Ava. She handles things well, and she has already reached this point even though she’s only in her twenties. We can market her as a beautiful president striving for success. She might even be a living signboard for the Asian region!”Eric’s voice was cold.“Don’t think I don’t know how she climbed to this position. Her little tricks are no match for Nash’s real skills!”Asher stiffened.It was silent for a few seconds.Then, Asher’s lips involuntarily curled into a smile.“Is there a need to make such a fuss of social gatherings in the business world? You remind me of Annie… Oh, your ex-wife!”Eric froze and suddenly looked up, his eyes staring coldly at Asher.“Who are you talking about?”“Annie. I heard that she’s the President of Stanto
Stanton Corporation.Nicole was much more relaxed after Grant came back.She was leisurely sipping coffee and reading documents in the office.When Nicole looked up at the clock and planned to go out for lunch, Logan came in. “President, Yuliana is here…”Nicole frowned and suddenly remembered that she had been involved with Yuliana’s incident with Andrew Zeno at the golf club.“Turn her away.”Logan nodded and was just about to leave when Yuliana pushed the door in sideways. Yuliana wore sunglasses and a scarf that covered her face tightly.It was as if she was afraid that people would not know that she was a public figure.Nicole frowned and looked at her coldly. “Call security…”She was not polite at all.Nicole helped Yuliana before, but the woman did not even thank her and had simply left.Now, Nicole did not want to care about whether Yuliana or Andrew was the child abuser and liar.It was none of her concern.Yuliana came in in a panic, took off her sunglasses, an
Only the head of the R&D department would be able to get the finished product.Nicole’s face was somewhat cold, and there was a chill in her eyes. ‘Something like this was happening right under my nose. How revolting! Andrew Zeno…’“Ms. Stanton, if you don’t believe me, you can go and see if your company is missing one of the devices. As far as I know, the device has arrived at Andrew’s brother-in-law’s home.”Nicole raised her eyes, her face cold and calm.She smiled. “Ms. Yuliana, did you specifically wait for them to steal the item before you came to tell me this news?”Yuliana froze and lowered her head.Nicole got to the point.“Yes, otherwise you wouldn’t believe me even if I said it…”Nicole chuckled and called Logan in. “Call the police. The company lost something. Investigate the manager of the R&D department and suspend him from all duties.”Logan glanced at Yuliana and immediately nodded. “Understood.”Nicole gave Yuliana her phone back. “If it’s true, how do you w
