Chapter 49 Throw It Away

Nicole’s alarm clock rang, waking her up

from her beauty sleep.

Nicole had requested to go back to her

apartment last night She felt a lot more

comfortable without waking up to so

many maids

She looked at her phone and saw that the

photos from the last n|ght‘s party had pushed

her and Eric to fame once again

[Rich ex-couple suspected to be back

together?]

it was attached with a picture of Eric and

Nicole’s kiss at the end of the dance It

was an ingenious shot Even the lighting

and background looked very artistic

Nicole sneered and did not pay attention t

o it. She closed the article and opened

her email

Logan had already sent Nicole’s schedule

to her early in the morning. Nicole

washed up and listened to some finance

news

Last night’s trouble had all been forgotten

after a good sleep and she would not let

Eric Ferguson affect her mood again

Yvette kept bombarding Nicole with calls

because she had just seen the picture

online. She wanted to confirm the truth of

the matter because the picture did not

look photoshopped

Nicole picked up and helplessly explained

what happened. Yvette then breathed a

sigh of relief and started to badmouth the

Fergusons, then suddenly said, “Hey, look!

The article’s been taken down!”

After checking, Nicole saw that it was

gone.

Nicole would not waste her money on

this, so who could it be?

Eric Ferguson?

Yvette laughed loudly on the other side of

the phone. “Look at our group chat! lan

spent money to take it down!’

Nicole clicked into their group chat and

saw a ton of messages,

[lan Carter $1 million PR fees! The

audacity!

[Yvette Quimbey: Carter, didn’t you go to

the party last night? Why isn’t there a

single shot of you?]

(Julie Nixon: If there’s a shot of him,

wonder who’ll pay to take it down…)

(Yvette Quimbey: Hahahahaha!

ſlan Carter Meanies!

Nicole laughed helplessly and sent a

message

[Nicole Stanton: Next time, please

transfer the money to me directly, then I’ll

come out to make a statement]

[lan Carter: *cries in despair* vomits

blood)

Nicole put away her phone and was a lot

happier

At about 7:00 am, Logan drove over to

pick Nicole up and brought breakfast for

her. “I bought this on the way. I don’t

know if it’s to your liking…”

Nicole was not that picky and took it.

Thanks. Let’s go.”

*There’s a meeting at 8:00 am. President

Stanton said that you’re fully in charge of

J&L’s matters and that he won’t ask

questions.”

Nicole knew that Grant was delegating it t

o her as part of her training, so she

nodded and said, “Have you contacted J&

L? We have to do our inspection in

advance.”

“I heard that Ferguson Corporation is

doing their inspection next week, so I

made an appointment for tomorrow

morning.”

“Good job.”

Nicole looked down at the documents.

She did not want to meet with people

from Ferguson Corporation. Although Eric

might not be personally involved in this

project, she still did not want to take the

risk

They talked on the way to the office

about work matters. Nicole was relieved

that Grant was willing to give her

someone as capable as Logan.

As soon as they arrived at the office, the

receptionist came over holding a huge

bouquet and looked at her with a smile.”

Vice President Nicole, someone sent you

flowers.”

Nicole frowned slightly and glanced at

the card on it.

[Dearest Nicole,

I’ll love you for ten thousand years <3

Yours truly

lan Carter]

Nicole did an eye-flip in her heart and said

to the receptionist, “Throw it away for me,

thanks.”

After taking two steps, Nicole stopped in

her tracks and looked back. “If there are

any more flower deliveries in the future,

just reject them.”

She did not want to give lan the slightest

hope and wanted to nip his little spark in

the bud.

“Yes, ma’am.” The receptionist looked

regretful. ‘These flowers are so pretty

but they’re about to be thrown into the

trash can…

The meeting began on time at 8:00 am

When Nicole went into the conference

room, everyone had already arrived.

Nicole sat on the main seat and looked at

the people in the room. “Our cooperation

with J&L Corporation has already begun.

Now, we’ll need to form a project team to

follow up with the tasks. Logan will send

you all a list later.”

Everyone knew that this cooperation with

J&L Corporation was in a brand new field.

Getting involved in this project would

likely catapult them to success, so

everyone was very eager.

After the meeting, Samantha Lindt camet

o Nicole

“Vice President Nicole, why am I not on

the list?”

“How can I miss such a good opportunity t

o reap benefits in this important core

project?

Nicole looked up from her desk and

raised her eyebrows. “If every employee

who wasn’t on the list came to ask me

this question, thousands of people would

come knocking on my door. How do you

think I should answer?”
