Chapter 32 The Wine ls Spiked

Both Mr. Zeller and Samantha Lindt were

shaken when they heard Nicole’s words.

Mr. Zeller suddenly smiled widely, picked

up the bottle of red wine next to him, and

poured a glass for Nicole.

“Ms. Nicole. since it’s a negotiation, I

came with my sincerity. Why don’t you

take a look at this document?

As long as

you sign it, I won’t treat you badly.”

Mr. Zeller took a file from his bag. The

content was similar to the contract

Nicole was holding, but the figure was

another ten percent lower than the one

Samantha had set.

Samantha looked at them and quickly

advised her. “Nicole, what’s the point of

you only relying on Grant Stanton? You’d be better” oll qetlinq a lew more barrlur-rs

Think about it.

Grant clearly wants to do

you harm because he |ust lelt you in nil‘;

position without even guiding you He

probably won’t marry you either…‘

Nicole did not care for Samantha’s

sowing of dissension because she

probably thought that they were lovers

‘|S she trying to poach me?‘

“Look at the clothes you’re wearing. Thev

don’t even have a brand. Did you buy

them off those online catalogs?

How do

you get to and from work? A taxi?”

Samantha looked askance at Nicole’s

brandless getup and tugged on her

Chanel suit, as she pursed her lips and

smiled.

“To be honest, I’ve been in your shoes.

You won’t lose out if you follow Mr. Zeller.

He prepared a secondhand Audi for you

With Mr. Zeller’s help on the project, you’ll

be able to sit firmly in your position. ”

Seeing that Nicole was silent and in deep

thought, Samantha thought that she was

moved and winked at Mr. Zeller

contentedly. She then stood up wobbly

and said, “I’m going to the bathroom. You

guys can continue the talk.‘

Once Samantha went out of the room, her

eyes looked sharp. She saw a familiar

person sneaking around the bathroom

entrance and yanked him over. “Are the

things ready?”

The waiter trembled. “T-That drug has

been put into the wine…“

“Good.“ Samantha hooked her lips in

satisfaction.

The waiter bit his lower lip. “Ms. Lindt, if

I’m not mistaken, that lady is President

Eric Ferguson’s ex-wife, right?”

“Mm, you’re right. That’s her.”

“How does Mr. Zeller dare to make a

move on President Ferguson’s ex-wife. Is he not afraid…?”

The waiter did not dare

to say it explicitly for fear of getting into

trouble, but he felt extremely remorseful a

t this moment.”

“She’s merely an ex-wife, so how much

would she matter to him anyway?

She’s

the kind of woman that relies on other

men to get to the top, so why would Eric

Ferguson spare a look at her? Since she’s

sleeping her way to the top, it’s all the

same whoever she sleeps with anyway, so why not Mr. Zeller?”

The waiter buried his head very low. ”

Okay. I’ll go back to work then.’

‘Get lost. If this matter gets out, I’ll make

you regret it!“

Samantha stomped to the bathroom on

her high heels to fix her makeup without

noticing a tall and well-built figure

standing stiffly on the other side of the

corridor.

Eric Ferguson’s face turned cold and

glum. His eyes were stern and

intimidating as he pulled over a waiter

nearby.

“Which room is Nicole in?”

“Huh? Mr. Ferguson?”

Anyone who came in and out of this

private club was rich and famous, so the

waiters here went through the basic

training of recognizing the elites. That

waiter immediately recognized Eric

Ferguson and was scared senseless that

his face tumed pale.

“Tell me!”

“A-At r-room 3888.” The waiter

stammered subconsciously. He could not

afford to mess with Chairman Zeller, but

Eric Ferguson was on a whole other level.

Eric turned around and left, exuding a

penetrating chill.

ln Private Room 3888.

Chairman Zeller smiled lewdly as he

reached out to touch Nicole’s hand on the

table.

However, he did not manage to

touch her. Nicole picked up the wine

glass and gently swirled the wine in it

with her long slender fingers that looked

like a work of art.

The middle-aged man took out an old car

key from his bag and threw it on the

table. “Ms. Nicole, this car is yours.”

Nicole stared at the car key for a long

time and suddenly laughed coldly. “

Samantha Lindt took more than I did,

right?“

Mr. Zeller sized her up with his lecherous

eyes. “Ms. Nicole, with your looks,

Samantha surely can’t compare to you.

When this project is completed, there will

be a bigger surprise waiting for you.”

Nicole inadvertently found out how

Samantha Lindt had gotten to where she

was today.

‘Great, I’ll just clean it up in the meantime.

“Let’s have a drink and celebrate…” Mr.

Zeller could not wait to raise his glass of

wine.

In the next second, Nicole’s phone on the

table suddenly fell to the ground. Mr.

Zeller bent down and picked it up, then

presented it to Nicole like it was a

treasure Nicole raised her glass and

clinked it with his. He then chugged it all ln one go.

Nicole’s glass of wine only touched her

lips. but under Mr. Zeller’s eager gaze,

she deliberately hesitated for a moment

before she took a sip. The corners of her

lips were dyed a slightly dark red, which

added to her charm.

Mr. Zeller smiled in satisfaction and

leered at Nicole’s intoxicating beauty. He

went over and put the Audi keys in her

hand as he coaxed. “As soon as we reach

a deal, I’ll buy you a new Audi.”

Nicole’s face sank and did not have time to react before she suddenly heard Mr

Zeller’s shocked cry. He was kicked to

the ground!

Suddenly, someone tugged on her wrist

fiercely and a cold voice came to her

ears. “This wine is spiked. Did you drank:

t?”
