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 reported the latest situation to Nicole as usual.

“There seems to be some movement at Ferguson Corporation. I heard that many shareholders can’t sit still anymore.”

Nicole raised her eyebrows. This was expected.

Old Master Ferguson would not just let go so simply because he still had the ability to fight to the death.

“Where’s my brother?”

Nicole thought of Yvette and unconsciously asked.

Logan smiled. “President Grant gave himself a half month vacation and handed over all the company affairs to you!”

’Half a month?!’ Nicole widened her eyes in amazement. ’So suddenly?’

“He… He didn’t tell me!”

Logan said, “He’s just afraid that you won’t agree…”

Nicole was speechless. ’He’s throwing such a big mess of things to me? Grant’s going too far to act first and report later!’

Logan looked like he knew a little secret and blurted a rare gossip. “I heard that President Grant went abroad to help his girlfriend deal with some things, but in fact, he’s going on vacation!”

Even Logan knew that Grant had a girlfriend, which meant that Grant must like Aida so much that he wanted the whole world to know about it.

Logan saw Nicole’s uninterested look and thought that she already knew about it.

After all, they were siblings.

Nicole sighed. ’Forget it, Grant’s happiness is also very important. I won’t make a mess.’

“Alright then, bring me all the work that needs to be done…”

Logan nodded and retreated.

Ferguson Corporation.

Early in the morning, the employees of Ferguson Corporation sensed that something was wrong.

Today was extraordinarily calm and quiet. There were even fewer people gossiping.

Eric got out of the car and raised his hand to straighten his suit. He walked into the lobby with his long legs. He was followed by Mitchell and some others.

The atmosphere was very solemn and cold. As usual, there was a morning meeting today.

Eric did not go to the President’s Office and went directly to the conference room.

Mitchell went to the front to open the door. When Eric looked up, he saw Old Master Ferguson sitting on the main chair with a gloomy face.

There were also shareholders sitting on one side as well as relatives of the Ferguson family.

All of them were Old Master Ferguson’s people.

In just a few days, Old Master Ferguson had reached out to many shareholders. Old Master Ferguson was filled with confidence and used a lot of means.

Eric hooked his lips into a cold smile, walked straight inside, and sat across from Old Master Ferguson.

Eric’s presence seemed weak in comparison with Old Master Ferguson Behind Eric, several department chiefs sat one after another on the other side. This scene looked like two opposing powers ready for battle.

Eric’s hawk-like eyes swept sharply over the people present. Everyone dared not even look up.

’What a big net!’ Eric thought.

In the end, Eric laughed. His voice was slow and deep.

“Good morning, Old Master Ferguson.”

Although the shareholders present were elders, in terms of ranking in the company, Eric did not need to greet each and every one of them.

Eric was always domineering, so no one dared to accuse him of being supercilious.

Old Master Ferguson coldly snorted. A sinister look flashed in Old Master Ferguson’s eyes when he saw Eric’s arrogance.

He had single-handedly brought up an ingrate who was disobedient in every way, so Old Master Ferguson wanted to teach Eric a lesson.

Old Master Ferguson thought, ’I must let Eric know that he only has his status today because of my charitable heart!’

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 glass of wine and drank it all in one go.

“Nicole, don’t tell anyone else. I don’t want anyone to know.”

She was just making a fool of herself.

Of course, Nicole would not tell anyone. Nicole saw Yvette like this and was really worried.

“Why haven’t you told him?”

If Yvette said something, would it have ended differently? Yvette laughed miserably.

She raised her eyes and looked at Nicole.

“You know what? The difference between me and Aida is that I’ve always imitated her, but I can never surpass her. Her family went bankrupt in her college junior year, so she broke up with your big brother and studied abroad. She has been working hard abroad to start her own business, but her eyes have always been so clean and pure. When I saw her today, it felt like she was still the same person from college.”

If Aida was polluted by the world, or had any greed for profit, or deviated from her original self because of the cruel world, Yvette would not have felt so hopeless.

Aida’s resilience and bravery were truly pure and incorruptible.

Aida was unlike Yvette, who had been dipping her toes into the corrupted business world fearlessly.

Yvette was a playgirl and had her way with men, but she did not use her skills on the man she liked because she did not dare to.

Aida’s good fortune made Yvette jealous. After seven or eight years, Aida was able to get back together with Grant again, and the two of them had never stopped loving each other.

Grant had never fallen into the cliché of a sappy romantic drama because of the resentment that arose from their breakup.

He loved Aida back then and still loved her almost a decade later.

When Aida returned to Mediania, she only took a small step toward Grant, who did not hesitate to rush over to her.

Thus, Yvette was destined to lose.

Nicole saw Yvette’s sad look and did not know how to comfort her.

Yvette and Grant were not at all like Kai and Julie. Kai liked Julie, and Julie had wavering feelings for Kai, but there was no third party between them.

However, Grant had Aida, which made Yvette’s feelings insignificant.

Soon, Yvette was drunk.

Nicole helped Yvette to her room to rest and watched her fell asleep, but Nicole did not feel comfortable leaving Yvette alone in this state, so Nicole settled down for the night in the living room.

When the day dawned, Nicole was awakened by the blinding sunlight outside the window.

It so happened that Yvette came out of the room.

As soon as the two of them looked at each other, everything from last night flashed through in their heads.

Yvette did not feel embarrassed and smiled. ”That’s so embarrassing, right?”

Nicole pursed her lips. “If you want to fight for once, I can help you.”

She could help to remind Grant that Yvette’s feelings

deserve respect too.

Yvette went to the kitchen and handed Nicole a bottle of yogurt.

“No, I thought about it. This is a dead-end, so why should I be stubborn and add trouble to others? Anyway, this is just my wishful thinking, so I have to stop myself. I don’t want to be the third party who destroys other people’s relationships. It’ll be too unseemly if we can’t even be friends.”

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 would say?

The silence did not just make the driver in the car feel out of place. Even Yvette looked back.

Eric began to feel his scalp tingling. ’Will this work?’

Anyway, Eric had already lost completely with the “hard route”, so he had no choice but to change his route.

Eric’s expression was obscure and uncertain. Nicole finally spoke after she saw that he was about to lose it. “Mr.

Ferguson, did you take your meds?”

When Eric was stunned, Nicole pushed his hand away and instructed the driver. “Drive.”

The car instantly left a sullen and gloomy-faced Eric behind.

’Did I take my meds? She implied that I was sick?’ Eric thought.

Eric’s complexion finally returned to normal. His gaze had a sharp chill that made him look self-confident and open.

However, there was some helplessness in his gaze when he was looking at Nicole’s departing car.

Why doesn’t this woman fall for this? But I won’t give up! That word doesn’t exist in my dictionary!’

The phone suddenly rang at an inappropriate time. It was Mitchell.

Eric picked up. “Speak.”

Mitchell said, “Old Master Ferguson has secretly picked up the person from abroad. He probably can’t hold back any longer.”

After Old Master Ferguson met with Nicole and was brought back by Eric, Old Master Ferguson had been secretly saving his strength. Eric did not know what Old Master Ferguson was planning. However, these small movements were obviously against Eric.

Eric was not bothered to investigate because he did not care about it.

Now, Old Master Ferguson was going to make a big move.

Eric was looking forward to it. The smell of blood instantly made his blood surge with excitement because he had not fought on the battlefield for a long time.

“Got It.”

Eric hung up the phone. Mitchell vaguely felt that this time was not so simple.

After all, Old Master Ferguson was the Chairman of Ferguson Corporation. His prestige and ability could not be underestimated.

Old Master Ferguson single-handedly gave Eric this position. Thus, it might be possible to pull Eric down from this position as well.

The recent rumors that were circulating inside and outside of the Ferguson Corporation were about concerns that the grandfather and grandson pair would fight openly and secretly to push the Ferguson Corporation to its demise.

However, Eric was a meticulous man. He was never unprepared, and his chances of winning were already predetermined before he came up with a strategy.

Nicole sent Yvette back to her small apartment. Yvette was silent the whole journey home. She was hesitant.

“Nicole, I…”

Nicole smiled. “It’s okay, no matter what decision you make, I will support you.”

Yvette’s eyes turned red again. She bit her lower lip tightly.

Her face was as red as her eyes.

“I’ve thought about the countless meetings I had with Grant. Each time, I tried my best to leave the best impression on him, but this time, I let him see the most unpleasant side of me being caught in a passionate kiss with another man. It just feels like everything’s over…”

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 was numbing.

Nicole’s eyes instantly felt sore.

Whoever liked a person first was destined to be the humbler one between them.

Back when Nicole first liked Eric Ferguson, she was brave once and was humble for three years. It was really difficult to be able to walk out of that marriage.

Nicole offered her whole heart and expected Eric to see it and respond, but he did not.

Perhaps, it was because he did not want to see it.

Suddenly, the light in front of her was blocked by a shadow. Her line of sight was cut off.

Nicole looked up with red eyes and stared dumbfounded Iy at the man in front of her. She was startled.

The man’s black and intimidating eyes stared at her. His eyelashes were long and dense, and his voice was sullen and cold. “Who bullied you?”

Who would have thought that she would meet Eric here at this time? The vulnerability in her eyes was too late to retrieve.

Nicole did not want to be seen like this, especially by Eric.

The man’s nervous look was undisguised. ’She must be crying here because she was bullied! Who dares to bully her?!’

For a moment, Eric had already thought of a hundred ways to die for that bully.

Nicole calmed down. Next to her, Yvette also stopped sobbing.

She must not want Eric to notice anything. Nicole called his name in a hushed tone. “Eric…”

Eric leaned over. His body was cold, and his breathing was heavy.

Nicole gritted her teeth. “Can you…”

Eric felt anxious when he heard her pause. “Hmm?”

2/4

Nicole exhaled and said, “Can you get lost?” Eric was speechless.

Nicole straightened up. Her legs were a little numb, so she shook them twice. Her face looked calm and with a hint of impatience.

“Why do I see you everywhere?”

Eric’s black eyes sank. The coldness gradually faded, and a fleeting hint of pain surfaced in his pupils.

“It’s fate that lets us meet again…”

“Quit the nonsense.” Nicole interrupted him. “I know the bar owner. He told me.”

Eric told the truth because there was no need to hide. Nicole laughed lightly. ’Right, this is Eric’s style.’

Eric repeated his question. “Who bullied you?”

Nicole looked him straight in the eye. “Don’t guess blindly. We’ve just squatted for a long time and had insufficient blood supply to the brain, causing transient hypoxia. We’re better now.”

Eric frowned. He obviously did not understand this theory of hers.

However, what she said was justified, and his non- expertise on the subject made it impossible for him to refute.

In his heart, Eric secretly sighed. ’Wow, Nicole is amazing!’ Eric was relieved. His face looked much better.

Before he could say something, Nicole patted Yvette’s shoulder.

“We’re going home now. Do whatever you want, Mr. Ferguson!”

Eric said, “I’ll see you guys off.”

As a gentleman, how could he let two girls go home alone?

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 smile as he reached out his hand to carefully help the woman behind him down the steps.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled with a tacit understanding.

It was as if no one else but them existed.

From the time Yvette saw this woman, her face was miserably pale and a hundred times gloomier than just now.

Nicole frowned and thought that the woman looked familiar, but she did not remember who she was.

Grant saw Yvette and was stunned for less than half a second, then saw Nicole.

He smiled and said, “Lil N, do you still recognize her?” Nicole shook her head honestly.

Yvette was silent for a few seconds and spoke with a smile, “She’s the most popular girl in our school that’s two years our senior, Aida Webber. Don’t you remember?”

Nicole suddenly realized that there was indeed such a person, but Nicole completely forgot what she looked like.

Grant helplessly glanced at Nicole. “I guess your memory isn’t as good as Yvette’s.”

The woman next to Grant was gentle and pretty. She looked elegant, generous, and slim. She gave off a very comfortable and warm vibe.

When Aida smiled, the corners of her pure and clear eyes curved beautifully.

“I was no longer the most popular girl in school once Nicole joined and took over.

We were busy with graduation back then and didn’t have many opportunities to meet, so it’s normal not to remember me.”

It turned out that Aida was their senior.

Nicole smiled. She saw that Grant and Aida did not seem to be in an ordinary relationship.

She subconsciously looked at Yvette, who lowered her eyes and looked forlorn. Yvette had the kind of extreme sadness that could affect the people around her.

Nicole knew that Yvette had always liked Grant, but Yvette never said so and always looked up to Grant. Over time, Grant just became more and more distant from Yvette.

All of them had their own thoughts.

Nicole pursed her lips and asked with a smile, “So, you’re here to look for Aida? I thought you came here specifically to pick me up…”

Grant rolled his eyes at Nicole. “Cut the crap and get in the car.”

He took Aida’s hand and opened the passenger door for her.

Yvette stood there motionless. Nicole suddenly felt heartbroken for her.

“Grant, my driver’s still around. I’ll take Yvette home and pick up some things from her house in the meantime. You guys can go first…”

Grant frowned, vaguely dissatisfied.

Aida was in the car. She lowered the window and smiled with squinted eyes, then playfully stuck out her tongue.

“Nicole, your big brother is going to be angry…”

Grant was stunned and helplessly reached out to gently flick her forehead, so doting and defenseless.

“I never see eye to eye with children.”

Grant looked at Nicole and said, “Come home early.”

After that, he went straight to the driver’s side, got in, started the car, and left.

Nicole turned her head.

When she saw that Yvette’s eyes were red, she did not know what to say…

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 had completely no room to play.

’Damn, his skills are quite good!’ Yvette thought.

Nicole could not sit still inside because she was afraid that something would happen to Yvette.

She did not care about the advice of the people inside and pulled open the door to go out.

In a moment, Nicole was stunned.

Nicole looked past the man and woman who were so immersed in kissing and saw the person behind them.

“Grant?”

This name completely startled Yvette and Sean.

In particular, Yvette looked like she saw a ghost. She pushed the man on top of her away and wiped her mouth in a panic.

Sean’s eyes deepened slightly. He then shifted his gaze to look at the person behind him.

Grant stood there with an aura that was difficult to ignore. He was shrouded in a light layer of coldness that was not obvious, much less targeting anyone.

It is as if Grant was born with this reserved and noble indifference that made him so unapproachable.

The bottom of his eyes had no ripples. He just looked at Nicole and said in a gentle tone, “Now that your leg is recovered, you don’t even greet me when you come out to drink?”

Nicole pursed her lips and was just about to explain when Yvette quickly walked over and apologized.

“I’m sorry, Grant. I’m the one who asked Nicole to come over. I…”

Grant had a bit of detachment and politeness on his face when he looked at Yvette. His voice was clear and cold as he said, “Nicole has to go back to take her medication. You guys can make another appointment next time.”

There was no hint of blame in his words, but Yvette could feel his dissatisfaction.

Yvette felt ashamed, like a group of children who were caught red-handed.

Nicole hurriedly spoke up and changed the topic.

“I came out to relax, yet I was still caught by you? Grant, what are you doing here?”

Nicole did not remember that Grant had any social engagements today.

Grant spoke indifferently, “I was looking for someone.”

In front of so many outsiders, Grant did not want to explain too much and looked at his watch.

“Come out in ten minutes. I’ll wait for you at the door.”

After that, Grant strode away with his long legs and went to the private room that he was initially going to.

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked to the side and saw that Yvette’s face was pale and ugly as hell.

At this critical time, Yvette actually met the person she did not want to see most.

“Yvette, are you not feeling well? D id you drink too much

just now?”

Nicole went over and touched Yvette’s forehead, but there was no change.

Yvette smiled. “Maybe I’m just a little tired. I’m about to be done here, so you can follow Grant home.”

Nicole shrugged helplessly. Even if she did not want to go home, she had to.

She raised her eyes and looked at Sean, who was still staring in the direction that Grant had left with a deep and

meaningful gaze.

The hostility was too obvious as if it was written on his face.

Nicole froze for a moment. Without knowing this man’s background, she knew that she could not do anything rash.

She smiled and looked at Yvette. “Come with me. I’ll get Grant to drop you off first.”

Yvette had never refused such opportunities.

Suddenly, Sean said, “Ms. Quimbey, I can give you a ride.”

Read Chapter 835 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

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 a confident look.

She could not help but feel worried for Yvette. Yvette’s brain was muddled by alcohol, so she had an impulsive urge and did not listen to any persuasion. Yvette felt that she could definitely win.

“Don’t worry, I won’t lose!”

Yvette stood up and said, “Let’s play poker dice. One game to determine the winner with the highest rank.”

Sean nodded. “Sure.”

Everyone gradually fell silent and looked over.

Yvette casually picked up the dice cup, shook it, and slapped it on the table. Her series of actions was casual but with a confident arrogance.

She opened it.

Three of a kind.

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.

The people around were silent for a moment.

It seemed that it would be hard for Sean to win over Yvette no matter how good he was.

Yvette was focused on playing poker dice for several years and suffered a lot of beating for it before she quit.

Sean looked at Yvette and smirked, then picked up another dice cup.

He only shook it a few times and slammed it on the table.

His action was casual and undisciplined with a lazy posture.

“Ms. Quimbey, if I win, you won’t say that I’m bullying you, right?”

Yvette frowned. “If you win, it’s your ability, so I have nothing to say, but if you lose, the contract is right here, so you have to sign it before you leave!”

Sean’s smile deepened. His voice was deep and slow as he said, ’then it’s a deal.”

After saying that, he opened the lid.

Everyone’s face changed slightly when they caught a glimpse of the dice. Except for Nicole and Yvette’s people, everyone else laughed out loud.

Four of a kind.

Yvette lost.

Nicole instantly raised her eyes and looked at Sean Moore. Sean laughed confidently.

Since Yvette had already said such words and she was allowed to choose prior to this, she no longer had room to backtrack.

This was not a child’s game, so even Nicole knew that Yvette was sure to accept this loss.

Yvette looked at the four of a kind he rolled for a few seconds and frowned, then pulled the corners of her lips and snorted.

Nicole tugged on Yvette’s clothes to stop Yvette from fighting if she got too excited.

”You need help?”

It was not like they had no chance of winning.

Although Yvette looked drunk, she was conscious and knew what she was doing.

Since she lost to Sean in a guessing game, she chose a game that was most favorable to her.

Yvette did not expect that Sean Moore would be a master in all games.

’This son of a b”tch did this deliberately to nauseate me?!’

If Sean was just any other trust fund kid, Yvette could get his parents to teach him a lesson, but this person should not be offended.

Yvette turned her head and smiled. “It’s alright.” She felt very apprehensive.

Sean stood up, carelessly tidied up his clothes, put one hand in his pocket, and walked out with long legs.

“Ms. Quimbey, don’t be a sore loser…” The surrounding people burst into cheer.

Yvette’s face stiffened. She was livid as she thought, ’So what if I lost? It’s just a French kiss anyway!’

She stood up and said with a slight disdain in her tone, ”Mr. Moore, I wonder how your skills are compared to my ex- boyfriends…”

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 blindIy 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 sized her up. He thought that she looked familiar like he had seen her before, but he could not remember.

Before he could explore carefully, an exquisitely dressed woman came down from the spiral staircase and ran over to take Nicole’s hand.

“Nicole, what are you doing here? Let’s go up!”

Nicole did not even look at the bartender and helplessly followed Yvette upstairs.

The bartender recognized Yvette, who could spend a minimum of hundreds of thousands of dollars at the wave of her hand.

The boss said that she was a valuable guest, so she could not be offended.

The bartender thought, ’Was I mistaken? Yvette just called that woman Nicole?’

A big hand slapped his shoulder at that moment.

The bartender trembled with fear. “Boss?”

That boss looked at the two ladies’ disappearing figures upstairs and sighed. He looked at the bartender with a seeming smile.

“That lady earlier isn’t someone you can get your hands on. When we first opened, the police and fire departments took turns coming over to find trouble just because she met a few punks after she left our bar. I almost went out of business…”

The bartender’s face paled. “Boss, is she that Nicole?”

The boss nodded. “She is!”

Nicole followed Yvette upstairs. She did not know anyone in Yvette’s private room.

Yvette’s family business was not in the same industry as Stanton Corporation, so it was excusable that Nicole did not know them.

However, Nicole still greeted the others very politely.

The three people were accompanied by their assistants.

Yvette’s assistant was also pouring wine on the side.

One of the younger ones in the room, Sean Moore, was handsome and distinctive-looking with deep features and a pair of glistening eyes that kept staring at Yvette.

His black eyes glittered under the backlight. His eyelashes were thick.

Sean seemed to be scheming something, which looked obvious. He looked very shrewd.

Fortunately, Yvette could still handle this kind of occasion. It was not at all awkward because they were joking and laughing.

Yvette only wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible. Nicole saw through it but did not say anything.

A few people began to toast each other. Yvette did not squirm and drank a few glasses at once.

Nicole watched from the side and blocked a few glasses for her.

A few glasses later, Yvette was worried about Nicole’s injury and refused to let her drink more.

Nicole sat on the side and watched them start playing games.

This was a very old-fashioned guessing game, which Yvette was good at.

However, when Yvette met Sean Moore, she felt that it was a bit overwhelming.

He was a good player that was the best at this kind of game. The surrounding people coaxed him. “Drinking is meaningless. Let’s change our way of playing…”

Yvette drank earlier, so her smile was slightly drunken and very charming.

“Sure, but we’ll play one last time. If I win, you must sign the contract!”

“And what if you lose?” Someone asked her.

Yvette pondered for a moment. Sean Moore, who stared at her all night, said, “If you lose, I want to get a hot French kiss from you, Ms. Quimbey.”

Nicole raised her eyes to look at Eric silently without making a sound.

She suspected that Eric drugged it.

Just in time, Logan came in with their coffee. “President, Mr. Ferguson, your coffee…”

Without another word, Nicole picked up a cup and drank it in one gulp.

Nicole felt the strong taste of coffee in her mouth. The salty

-sweet mix in her mouth was explosive and intense. Her expression eased as she slowly put the coffee down. She was extremely elegant.

Nicole looked at Eric’s slightly grim face and Logan’s furrowed brow.

She smiled faintly and looked at Logan. ’the coffee is good. I want another cup…”

Logan’s keen gaze fell to the bowl of stew on the table and lingered for two seconds. He then fully understood.

”Yes, President…”

Once Logan left, Eric narrowed his eyes, picked up the coffee, and took a sip, slightly disdainful.

Nicole took the tissue and gently wiped the corners of her mouth. She smiled politely.

”The stew is not bad. Thanks.”

Eric let out a long breath of relief. The joy of success shone between his eyebrows.

“To express my apology, I’ll come every day to send it to you from now on.”

Nicole’s face stiffened. “There’s no need for such trouble.”

Eric stroked his brow. “It’s no trouble. I’ll just keep coming until you unblock me.”

Nicole paused, took out her phone, scrolled through it, and gave Eric a look.

“I should reflect on myself. We’re business partners after all, so I shouldn’t just block you as I please. Don’t worry, Mr. Ferguson, such a thing won’t happen in the future.”

Nicole’s attitude was so clear and decisive, which Eric did not expect.

She even guaranteed that it would not happen again? Eric simply dared not think about it.

His eyebrows were relaxed, but later, there was also some disappointment from not being able to bring her food every day. What a pity!

Nicole thought, ’Please leave me alone!’

Eric received an urgent call from Mitchell. Eric’s face darkened slightly before he stood up.

He glanced at Nicole, who also stood up and was ready to send him off.

Eric did not stay any longer and strode away with his long legs.

Finally, it was quiet.

Logan came in again with the coffee. Nicole raised her chin and said, “Throw this away.”

Logan nodded. Nicole usually liked stews, but this was the first time that she could not swallow it.

”Did Mr. Ferguson make it himself?” Logan muttered. Nicole was stunned, but her face was expressionless. ’Right.. It really isn’t Toto’s level. Eric actually made this stew for me?’

If it was anyone else, Nicole would probably be touched.

However, since it was Eric, Nicole suddenly wondered if this stew was poisoned.

Nicole did not have much going on in the afternoon when she received Yvette’s call. Yvette had an important client and was afraid that she could not hand ie it, so she wanted Nicole to be there as moral support.

Nicole agreed to it without much thought.

She just did not expect the place to be in that newly opened bar with those hooligans.

Nicole thought about it and felt a headache coming on.

Since the place was booked, Nicole had no choice but to go.

When Nicole got there, the inside of the bar was finally normal with noisy, ear-splitting music, which made people’s hearts surge with excitement.

Once Nicole went in, many people whistled at her.

Nicole wore a light-colored shirt, which was tucked in a narrow skirt that outlined her thin waist and made her legs look straight, long, and beautiful. Her figure was so sleek up to her ankle.

Her leg injury had just recovered, so her family did not allow her to wear high heels. Thus, she chose a pair of Iow-heeled shoes, but it did not affect her clear and imposing aura.

Nicole ignored the extra stares.

She walked to the bar, sent a text message to Yvette, and waited downstairs.

The bartender pushed over a cocktail and stared straight at her face.

Nicole lifted her eyelids. ”I didn’t order it.” The bartender said, ”It’s my treat.” ”Thanks, but no need.”

The bartender pushed the QR code of his bank account to her.

His tone was implicit. “I’ve already paid for this, so if you don’t wanna accept it, you can transfer it back to me…”

Nicole froze slightly. She then saw that Eric was walking over with a thermos flask.

His slender fingers moved fluidly to pour out a bowl of stew and pushed it over.

“Have a taste…”

Nicole frowned and thought that Eric seemed a little off today.

She could not tell what was wrong with him.

Nicole looked at the stew. “Toto made stew so early in the morning?”

Eric lowered his thick and lush eyelashes. His black eyes were sunken, and his voice was deep.

“Mm…”

Nicole did not feel like eating stew and did not touch it.

“Besides me blocking you, do you have other things to talk about?”

She implied that it was time for him to leave.

Eric’s lips were pressed into a straight line. His eyes seemed to have ripples.

“I intend to speed up J&L Corporation’s project. I poached a high-tech research team from Denmark. They’ll arrive next month. When the time comes, we’ll rearrange the project’s process.”

Nicole was dumbfounded for a moment.

A high-tech research team from Denmark was no longer just a matter of salary. It was even harder to poach core technical staff than a soccer team, so how did Eric do it?

Eric looked at Nicole quietly. His temperament was oppressive as he said slowly, “So, Clayton Sloan can hurry up and go back to where he came from.”

Eric spent so much money to poach an excellent team so that he could rush the process, just so that Clayton could leave quickly.

It was best if Clayton could stay further away from Eric and Nicole. The further, the better!

A chill lingered in the air.

Nicole took a deep breath. “Mr. Sloan’s schedule is not within my arrangement.”

Eric smirked. His eyebrows were intertwined with coldness and warmth.

“Nicole, you know what I mean. If you reject him, I can give you whatever you want.”

Nicole raised her eyes in a flash.

’WOW…’

The confidence in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Only Eric could pull off saying such words without being ridiculed for bragging.

Eric thought that he was much better than those ” domineering presidents” from the novels that Toto showed him.

After all, if Eric took two million dollars and smashed it in Nicole’s face, she would just feel like he was insulting her.

She would probably take 20 million dollars in cash to bury him under.

To avoid such barbaric behavior, Eric decided to be pedantic and threw this money in a more valuable place!

Nicole looked at Eric, who was elegant and reserved. His beautiful black eyes were sunken, and he looked perfect.

She thought, ’But why do I want to beat him up so badIy?’

“Mr. Ferguson, I hope you understand that…”

She paused and took a deep breath. “You’re also a beneficiary in Clayton’s project. You’ll only benefit from your own investment, so what does it have to do with threatening me?”

Nicole was earning money properly, so why should she get hooked by Eric’s lousy request?

How shameless!

Eric’s face instantly sank. Since he was the smallest beneficiary in this project, he did not remember or care for this bit of benefit.

Thus, he overlooked this point.

’Damn it! What a blunder!’

His eyelashes drooped and created a shadow. He calmly and frankly accepted Nicole’s criticism.

In the end, Eric pushed the stew in front of Nicole again. His tone was calm, and his voice was deep.

“I’m just proving my strength. I didn’t mean to threaten you. Here, moisten your throat…”

’Hah!’ Nicole wanted to laugh in exasperation. She just felt like she was hitting a bag of cotton.

This bastard was getting more capable at getting on her nerves.

Nicole took a deep breath and told herself not to get angry because if she died from anger, who would benefit from it?

She looked at the bowl of stew in front of her and thought that she did miss Toto’s cooking.

Without another thought, Nicole picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Eric’s eyes suddenly flickered for a moment.

In the next second, Nicole struggled not to spit it out. She had good cultivation, so she could not throw up.

Nicole swallowed it with an odd look like she was swallowing poison.

Eric’s face was calm and somewhat nonchalant as he asked her, “Is it yummy?”

’Is poison yummy?’ Nicole thought.
