Chapter 23

Nicole

Nicole took out her phone and looked at

the trending topics. then snickered and

put it aside without a thought.

She was familiar with the Ludwig familyis

background and knew that Keith’s

parents must have pressured him.

Otherwise, knowing his character, he

would never willingly admit his fault.

Keith must be hating her guts at this

moment.

There was a knock at the door. Samantha

Lindt let herself in and smiled. “Ms.

Nicole, is it convenient for me to come in

and talk?”

Nicole nodded. “Please, come in.”

Samantha walked in and glanced at Yvette as if she did not want to speak with the presence of a third

person, but Yvette was not perceptive enough to wait outside.

“What‘s the matter?”

“I saw that Mr. Logan is preparing some

information regarding J&L’s project. Ms.

Nicole, you might not know this, but we

don’t have much of a relationship with J&

L Corporation and have a slim chance for

cooperation.

If you want to gain your

footing in the company, why don’t you

cooperate with FH Corporation? I know

that they have a project that’s very

suitable for us.”

Samantha placed a document in front of

Nicole and raised her eyebrows. She

smiled as if she had given Nicole a good

deal. Nicole paused for a moment. “Okay, I’ll

consider it.”

“Ms. Nicole, you ought to close this deal. F

H is an old partner, so landing this project

will be enough for you to stand firm in our

company.”

Samantha targeted Nicole at the meeting but sent her such a big gift after. It would be odd if there was

nothing fishy about this. Nicole raised her eyes and smiled meaningfully. “Please call me Vice

President Nicole.” Samantha’s face stiffened and her voice suddenly became shrill. “Don’t think that

you’re all that just because the President i s fond of you.

Whether you can stay still depends on your luck! Anyway, I’ve given you this opportunity, so it’s up to

you to seize it.” After finishing her speech, Samatha turned around and left, slamming the door shut on

her way out. Yvette was stunned by this and said, “Are you her boss, or is she your boss?” Nicole

nonchalantly flipped through the file that Samantha gave her.

“She assumed that this position would be hers

f l didn’t show up.”

“That’s just her wishful thinking, right?‘

Nicole raised her eyebrows and snorted,

then handed the document to Yvette.

“I remember that the Vice President of FH

Corporation is one of your admirers?”

Yvette froze for a moment and laughed. Don’t worry, I’ll find out what’s fishy about this.“ IN Since my

best friend is so serious about her career, l must support her in any way possible” Yvette thought.

Nicole’s phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was her old friend that she had not contacted in a

long time, Julie Nixon.

Julie had single-handedly founded the internationally renowned fashion brand. Share. The private

fashion shows she held were so popular that it was hard to get an invitation. Once Nicole picked up,

Julie could not wait to speak. “Come hang out with us tonight!

We organized a little get-together

at Tattle Bar to celebrate your return. so

you must come!”

Nicole laughed. She missed her friends a

lot. “Okay, I’ll definitely show up.“

After she hung up, Yvette added Nicole

into a chat group consisting of five

people, which included the three girls and

the. Carter brothers.

Julie Nixon; [Nicole is finally back in our

group! Congratulations, Babyll

Ian Carter: [I already drank one whole

night to celebrate Nicole’s divorce…it’s

about timell

Hugh Carter: [Congrats on your divorce.

Nikki!]

Nicole laughed in exasperation. ‘Are they

gloating over my failed marriage?”

Yvette helplessly said, “No…you don’t

know how happy we all are for you! When

we heard that you were suffering,

everyone in this group cursed Eric

Ferguson, but we were afraid that you’d

get sad when you see it, so we didn’t add

you into the group chat until now. You’re

finally over him now!”

Nicole thought, ‘Sigh…it’s my fault. I have t

0 thank them for not leaving me after all

that.‘

Keith Ludwig was depressed and

dragged Eric out for a drink that night.

When they arrived at Tattle Bar and got

out of the car, Keith rubbed his eyes in

disbelief and said, “Holy sh*t! Why do l

run into this woman everywhere I go?
