Nicole went out. As the cold wind blew, her mind instantly calmed down.She slowly exhaled a breath.Fortunately, it was all settled.If Eric still wanted to save his reputation, he should know how to back down and stop pestering her.A hand suddenly stretched out beside her, holding a gray-colored men’s handkerchief. Its light fragrance was warm.Nicole looked up at Clayton, who was silent but heartbroken.Her words were blunt and unforgiving, but Clayton could feel that Nicole had mustered up a lot of courage to remove Eric from her life.While Nicole was hurting Eric, she was also cutting herself with the knife.It turned out that she still had feelings for Eric.Clayton raised his head and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.Nicole did not know when she started to shed tears.Clayton sighed. “Nicole, if it’s too hard to let go of him, take it slow. My heart aches when I see you like this.”Nicole’s eyes were still tinged red, but her face was already ba
Although the matter was not completely settled, Nicole was still relieved.Clayton’s smile deepened as his eyes grew warm and soft.“Alright, I’ll take it slow.”In any case, his opponent was gone, and he was the only contender left, so he naturally had enough patience to take his time.The song was melodious.Nicole relaxed a lot along the way.At Yvette’s office lobby, Clayton swiftly got out of the car and bowed like a gentleman before Nicole could open the door.Nicole laughed and walked out, playing along.Clayton’s eyes flickered. “Do you want me to pick you up?”He had already adapted to the role of her boyfriend.It felt pretty good.Nicole pursed her lips as her face turned a little red. “No, we won’t be done so soon.”Clayton raised his brows and nodded. He looked up and then glanced away regretfully.“Although I want to meet your friends as your boyfriend, it’s not the right time yet. Goodbye.”Nicole waved. “Bye.”She did not expect this to happen after a mea
Yvette pinched Nicole indignantly. Nicole shrunk in pain and begged for mercy.Yvette said, “As my best friend, you should stand on my side unconditionally!”Nicole was forced to nod.It was just that her best friend was too senseless!Then, Nicole was a little puzzled. “Isn’t he your client? Has the contract been signed?”Yvette nodded naturally.“A contract? In my bed, his life and family possessions belong to me. Don’t bring up the contract. If I had known that my honey trap would work, I wouldn’t have bothered to go through all that effort.”Nicole looked at Yvette in admiration.Yvette’s mentality of sleeping with others to take advantage of them was something that ordinary people could not understand.However, Nicole completely admired Yvette’s charm.Since they were young, there was an endless stream of men surrounding Yvette. They never stopped coming.The people around Nicole were driven away by her several brothers, so Nicole did not have a chance to experience suc
Eric’s dark eyes were sunken and cold, and there was a faintly suppressed indifference jumping inside.“Forget about it? It took me so much effort for Nicole to improve her attitude toward me, but that woman stirred up some sh*t and made me lose everything! You want me to forget about it?!”Eric could not suppress his emotions, so even his words had become impolite.‘What a nosy smart*ss! She’s completely useless! This was the candidate recommended as the President of Cyndro International’s Asian region?’ Eric sneered. His eyes were cold and shady as he looked at Asher.“What benefits did she give you for you to speak up for her so much? A brainless woman like that still wants to take charge of the Asian region? I didn’t let you sit in the position of Vice President of Cyndro International just to allow you to put your lover in a key position!”At those words, the office instantly fell silent.Asher’s face changed.No one knew about Asher’s relationship with Ava.Externally, th
Ava’s face went a little pale.Mitchell had seen his fair share of people and things while working under Eric, so what he said was completely unadulterated.‘Did I just ruin my own future?’ Ava’s face was pale as she turned around and left in a trance.Mitchell called the bodyguards downstairs.“Keep an eye on that woman and don’t let anything happen to her near Ferguson Corporation. There’s no need to worry about her after she leaves our office perimeter.”As a qualified assistant, Mitchell had to be well prepared for what would or would not happen.All the loose ends had to be tied up beautifully.Mitchell thought, ‘Mr. Ferguson was really miserable. He offended the Ferguson family for Nicole’s sake, but in the end, he lost Nicole as well.’Nicole, who was no longer interested in Eric, was much stronger than they thought.As soon as Ava went downstairs, she saw her rival, Nash Jones, coming over in high spirits.When Nash saw her, he even raised his hand in greeting, as ent
The car was silent, and the sound of rain outside was too clear.Lord, save them!Nicole looked at the curtain of rain outside in despair. ‘Why did I follow them? Was there a more desperate moment than this one?’Julie rolled her eyes and pointed her bright red nails at Ian. “If I weren’t an elegant goddess, I’d have killed you and dumped your body!”Yvette nodded. “That’s right!”Ian’s mouth twitched as he looked at Nicole. “You treat me the best.”Nicole looked up. “I’ll bring flowers to your grave.”As time passed, the temperature in the car gradually decreased.No one’s phone was working because there was no network or signal, so they could only wait for people to pass by or take the initiative to find them.It rained cats and dogs, and by the time it stopped, it was already dark.Everyone’s mood was particularly complicated. Yvette lost steam after scolding Ian, and Julie leaned against the car window listlessly.Ian held his phone outside to try and get a signal…Nico
Everyone was too frightened to figure out if it was real or fake. This was not the time to joke.They opened the car door and ran out.Fortunately, for convenience, Nicole and Julie wore flats.However, Yvette was always the most concerned about her image. Even if she was stepping in mud, she had to step on it in high heels.It was not very convenient when she ran.Ian tried to pull Nicole, but Nicole looked at Julie, whose legs had gone numb.Julie’s face was as white as paper.“Ian, you take Julie, and I’ll take Yvette. Don’t waste energy. Hurry up and run!”“Nicole, you have to keep up!”Julie gritted her teeth and ran ahead with Ian.Based on what they learned in school, they should run perpendicular to the direction of the mudslide at this time.However, it was dark all around without a single trace of light.The faint light emitted by their phones in their hands was of no use at all.Since they could not make any judgments, they could only run in the opposite directi
Daylight cut through the darkness, and the sun penetrated the clouds.Nicole’s eyes were stung by the lights, but her mind was still in the pitch-black night. She was trapped in the stormy weather where, behind them was a mudslide that could swallow them at any time, and ahead of them was a road that stretched endlessly.She kept running with no end in sight. Her body became tense.However, in the next second, the road ahead turned into an abyss.When she stepped on the road, her foot landed in thin air and her body felt weightless. She suddenly woke up.Cold sweat dripped down her forehead.Nicole opened her sluggish eyes for several seconds before slowly coming to her senses.Everything around her was unfamiliar.Her head was dizzy and painful. She reached out to touch it and felt that it was wrapped in gauze.Not far away was the movement of a lighter flickering.Nicole looked over and saw a tall and familiar silhouette. It looked a little like Clayton.She blinked. ‘Is t
