Chapter 31

Nicole looked like she had a headache. ”

Yvette, who the hell is so dumb to send m

e flowers?”

“Of course, it’s Ian Carter. He instructed m

e to deliver it to you by hand.”

‘Ian? That Young Master is really capable

of making things happen!’

Yvette laughed. “Old Master Carter sent

Hugh to study abroad. I heard that if he

fails this time, his grandpa will break his

legs.“

“Awww… it’s a pity that we didn’t get to

send him off. I guess we’ll just have to

wait for him to come back and throw him

a nice welcome back party!”

Nicole was helpless and got her assistant to take the flowers out of her office She

felt a lot more comfortable without the

strong scent of flowers in the air.

Yvette nodded. “Yup, my thoughts

exactly. By the way, I’ve looked into Fl-l

Corporation like you asked me to last

time.”

Nicole looked up at her. Yvette laughed

and said, “FH Corporation has long since

become a shell company.

They keep asking for loans everywhere and owe the

bank a large sum of money they can’t

even pay off. Their company is about to be auctioned off and theyjust have a

bunch of sh*tty projects left. Whoever

gets involved with them will surely get

into trouble. That Samantha Lindt is

trying to push you into a trap, huh?”

This was what Nicole expected. She

raised an eyebrow and thought, ‘So she’s

trying to dig a pit for me lo jump in myself

The dinner tonight will be extra

interesting.

“Thanks”

Yvette scratched her head. “lt’s nothing.

but. I can’t work for you anymore. My

mom is coming back from Hong Kong

She just acquired a new cosmetic

company and promised that I can

participate in their research and

development.

Nikki, you know that this has always been my dream.“ Yvette’s mother was a famous career woman in

the industry. She had always wanted Yvette to be part of the management in their family business, but

Yvette preferred laboratory work. Since she finally got the opportunity to participate in research, she

certainly would not give up on it

Nicole smiled. “Sure, then I wish our dearest Miss Quimbey all the wealth in the worId”‘ The two ladies

looked at each other and smiled. There was no need to say more because they had a tacit

understanding between them. “Then you should be careful. Just ask if you need help with anything.

We’ll support you as best we can!“

Nicole nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t be a stranger with you guys.’ Yvette took her purse and slipped

away after chatting for a bit, then Nicole began t o focus on work again. After work, Nicole stood up

from her chair and was planning to talk to Logan about the dinner. However, Samantha sashayed into

Nicole’s office and said.

Since it’s a private dinner, it’s not necessary to bring your assistant, right?” Nicole raised her eyebrows.

“Okay then.”

Logan looked at Nicole worriedly, but

Nicole gave him an assuring smile.

When they got to the private club, they

went into a pre-booked private room.

Samantha did a friendly cheek kiss with a

pot-bellied middle-aged man who was

sitting at the table, which made Nicole

feel nauseous.

Out of politeness, Nicole still walked overt o say hello. When Chairman Zeller saw Nicole’s face, his

eyes visibly lit up with unconcealed lechery, which was very disgusting. “This is Vice President Nicole,

right? I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re as beautiful as they say…”

Chairman Zeller stretched out his hand. but Nicole only nodded slightly as a greeting before she took a

seat. “Mr. Zeller, you’re too kind. Your reputation precedes you.“ Samantha gave Nicole a meaningful

glance. “Vice President Nicole, since you jUS1 joined Stanton Corporation, you might not know that we

have a good relationship with FH Corporation, so it’s not a problem cooperating with them Why don’t

you take out the contract for Mr. Zeller? If there’s no problem, we can sign it today.”

Nicole paused and raised an eyebrow.

then took out the prepared contract. “

Sure. Mr. Zeller, you’d better look at it

carefully.“

The middle-aged man opposite her took

over the contract and swept a casual

glance at it as if he already knew of its

contents. When he caught sight of a

number there, his face instantly sank.

‘Vice President Nicole, why is the

commission on this 30% higher than the

promised figure?”

Samantha was startled and took a look at

the contract. Her expression changed

greatly and said, “Who changed this?”

“Me, of course…” Nicole lowered her head

with a smile.

“Since I’m here to talk about this project, l

have the say in it. We can go with this

percentage or forget about it altogether.

Everyone knew that if it was raised by

thirty percent, FH Corporation’s initial

investment would be tens of millions

more, which was too much for a faltering

shell company on the verge of

bankruptcy.

Samantha’s face turned red with anger. ”

Nicole, how can you just change it as you

please?”

“l’m Stanton Corporation’s Vice President,

so I can do as I please. Ms. Lindt, I’m

thinking of our company’s best interest, so why are you getting angry?

You should be happy, don’t you think? Are you Stanton

Corporation’s employee or FH

Corporation’s person?” Nicole looked at

Samantha meaningfully.

As soon as she heard this, Samantha’s

face turned glum. “I-l’m Stanton

Corporation’s employee, but Nicole,

business is based on trust. We’ve already

agreed on the amount beforehand, so you

can’t just change it like this!“

“As long as nothing’s been signed,

everything can be changed.” Nicole

playfully looked at the angry Chairman

Zeller. “Or perhaps, Mr. Zeller and Ms.

Lindt have already reached some sort of

agreement in private?”
