Nicole raised her eyebrows. ‘Ava still wants me to understand why she’s retaliating against me? How strange!’Nicole smirked and said, “I understand.”Ava said, “That’s good. Anyway, Harvey didn’t agree, so let’s just pretend that nothing happened. We’ll be in the same circle in the future, so let’s coexist peacefully.”There was a pause for a few seconds.Outside, the elegant and loud music rose.The place was quiet like it was frozen.Nicole looked at Ava’s face and suddenly laughed out loud.“Ms. York, I understand your despicable and underhanded means, but in this circle, only the strong survive. You seduced my boyfriend in the first place, so that’s how I started to hate you. Coexist peacefully? Dream on! You’d better cherish the only happiness you have left, because, in my territory, you will only be more upset in the future!”Nicole smiled meaningfully. Ava’s heart was in a panic.‘Her territory? I thought that I could finally be on equal footing with Nicole when I arri
Nicole thought that she should not rush the matter of terminating Harvey’s contract.Harvey’s reaction was beyond her expectation. It turned out that he was not a stupid person.Then again, how could a sensible person like him be an abuser?Nicole could not help but feel a little curious, but she did not ask.Harvey followed her down the steps, opened his mouth, and finally spoke.“Ms. Stanton, I’m sorry.”Nicole looked at him. “Sorry for what?”“I lied to you on the way here. I actually know Ava York.”‘Oh, so it’s about this…’ Nicole thought.Nicole’s face was indifferent. “Then why did you lie to me?”Harvey’s tone was deep and cold.“I knew there was a reason for her to get me Stanton Corporation’s endorsement deal, and I didn’t want to be classified with her.”That was why Harvey lied.However, when Harvey saw Nicole behind the wine cabinet, his heart went completely cold.The air was chilly.Nicole tightened her jacket over her body.“Alright.”Perhaps what he sa
Clayton carefully touched Nicole’s nose. His eyes were tender.He was so heartbroken.However, Nicole quickly forgot about the pain.It no longer hurts in a few seconds.The driver coughed in front.“Miss, where should we go?”Clayton and Nicole instantly parted. Only then did they realize that their distance just now seemed a little too close.Nicole, who had always been alert, did not even realize that her safe distance had been shortened.Her face felt a little warm as she bit her lower lip to calm herself down.“Let’s go to the apartment.”Clayton smiled lightly when he heard this.He did not dwell on her nose and answered her earlier question.“Lil Michael was asleep, so I dropped by to pick you up.”“Did you really just drop by?”Nicole was surprised. It was clearly the opposite direction.“Yeah, it’s on the way.”‘Well, if he says so…’ Nicole thought.The driver interrupted on a rare occasion. “Mr. Sloan has been waiting in the car for two hours!”The driver we
As soon as Nicole answered Yvette’s call, Yvette’s voice came through.“Nicole, you know Dominic Young, right? Do me a favor.”Nicole frowned. Usually, when Dominic Young was involved, it was about online public opinion.“What for?”Yvette spilled her guts to Nicole.“After that f*ckboy Sean Moore got a divorce, he posted his divorce certificate on his social media as if he’s afraid that people won’t know. Our mutual friends took a screenshot for me and asked me to reconsider. Consider my *ss! Since I saw his true face, I just wanted to gouge my eyes out because I was so blind to fall for him!”Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows slightly and asked her seriously, “Then what do you want to do?”“I’m getting engaged to Lance Sheldon. To make Sean give up completely, I’m going to announce my engagement to the whole world!”Nicole could imagine Yvette’s angry expression.“Engaged? So sudden? You shouldn’t be impetuous!”Nicole advised Yvette that it would be bad if Yvette later regrette
Early in the morning, the sunlight lazily shone through the window.Nicole was woken up by her phone.Needless to say, no one else but Yvette Quimbey would disturb her sleep at this hour.Since it was Yvette, Nicole did not get mad.When Nicole picked up her phone, Yvette’s voice came through.“Nicole, Mr. Young is just so dedicated! My news is everywhere! Hahaha… The whole country knows me now!”Nicole’s voice was still hoarse. “Don’t be so happy yet. Having so much attention isn’t a good thing. Everyone will be staring at you!”Netizens would either like her to the extreme or wait to see her collapse at any moment.Once her reputation took a dive, those people who gave out their blessings would become executioners and add insult to injury when the time comes.“I don’t care what others think. I just want that scum Sean Moore to see this news and get the hell out of my face!”Nicole took a deep breath. Her phone was on speaker mode, so she got up slowly and freshened up while
As soon as Nicole entered the office, Logan came in with her coffee and placed the documents on the desk as usual.“President, everyone is here for today’s morning meeting. We can start anytime.”Nicole looked at the time. It was just right.She nodded and stood up.“Harvey Sage came early in the morning and has been waiting here for almost an hour. Should we inform him first?”Logan was surprised by Harvey’s arrival. He even thought that last night would be the last time he would see Harvey at Stanton Corporation.This kind of scandal-ridden celebrity would certainly implicate Stanton Corporation’s long-standing good reputation.Nicole said, “No, let him wait.”If it was that simple to get an opportunity with Stanton Corporation, it would set a precedent for everyone to set their eyes on Stanton Corporation’s resources in the future.Logan nodded. They walked out one after the other and went directly to the conference room.The twenty-minute meeting lasted for an hour and a
Nicole sat on the opposite sofa and gestured for Harvey to sit down as well.“Harvey is the spokesperson for Stanton Corporation’s new product.”Everyone’s bodies stiffened with this statement.Kai stood up abruptly. His face was grim. “What?!”Kai’s reaction was a little too excessive.Harvey did not react to or feel guilty for Kai’s reaction.After all, Harvey’s reputation was already in the gutter.Dominic was relatively calm. After getting over the shock, Dominic looked at Harvey with a complicated look in his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something.Nicole sighed.“It was an accident, but I want to see if there’s another way besides canceling the contract.”Kai and Dominic both gave her an incredulous look like it was impossible.Nicole said, “For example... Whitewashing?”Kai snorted coldly and rolled his eyes.Dominic also did not want to say another word. ‘No wonder Nicole personally came over. What a tricky dilemma!’“Anyway, I brought him over, so you guy
Dominic shook his head and looked at Harvey with some sympathy.“Your career was on the rise back then. So many reporters were waiting to photograph you. Unexpectedly, you’re photographed just when you hit your ex-wife. Needless to say, what happened later is your name being associated with domestic violence. All the scandals are focused on you, and everyone only cares about the hype regardless of whether it’s true or not.”Harvey lowered his head and let out a bitter laugh.“It’s a good thing my manager didn’t abandon me. Otherwise, I’ll have a problem eating.”Although Harvey’s management was well-connected and shrewd, he still had to beg and work hard to arrange jobs and activities for Harvey since he felt that Harvey could still survive in the industry.Kai pursed his lips and did not say anything.Nicole was a bit sympathetic to Harvey.The story behind this domestic violence allegation was so tragic.“Then is everything okay with your mother?”Harvey curled his lips and
