Chapter 62

To the butler, Young Lady Stanton should

not drive herself. She should be

chauffeured around wherever she went.

Otherwise, it was considered his

dereliction of duty.

Nicole laughed and said, “Mr. Anderson,

there’s no need for that. I can drive

myself to work. Don’t worry.”

She did not say much and hung up the

phone. She drove the car out of the

garage and went to the office.

There was no traffic, so she had a

smooth journey. However, Nicole was a

little perplexed why other cars on the

road were actively avoiding her. Even

when she was waiting at a red light, the

cars in front and behind her were several

meters away

‘Is it because I’m a female driver?’ Nicole

thought.

When Nicole got to the office, she gave

her keys to the parking valet and went

into the lobby. From the corner of her eye,

Nicole noticed that Samantha Lindt was

glaring at her indignantly with an

undisguised resentment.

Nicole was baffled. ‘Did she find out that

I’d given Grant the recording? She

shouldn’t know so soon…’

“Ms. Lindt, why didn’t you go upstairs

when you’re already here?”

Samantha coldly snorted and looked

askance at her. “Mr. Stanton must really

like you to give you such an expensive

car. It has to be more than $2 million,

right?”

‘Otherwise, how can Nicole afford to buy a Porsche Cayenne? Looking at the features, it’s also the

highest specs! Nicole frowned and remembered something. She laughed lightly and flipped her hair to

the back. “It’s just a car. Why would I need someone to buy it for me? I can afford it myself…” She

gently swept a glance at Samantha’s reddened face and went to the President’s private elevator as if

nothing had happened. “Did she think that she can buy me off with a used Audi?’ Nicole thought. Logan

met Nicole upstairs and briefed her about the meeting later. Nicole walked into the conference room i n

her high heels. Samantha also went in a t the same time. Nicole swept a glance at

the crowd and saw that everyone was present. “Let’s begin.” They had reached a consensus with J&L

Corporation on the direction of this cooperation. The rest was about the in- depth details. All their

profits and interests lie in these ubiquitous details. Every little detail entailed huge profits, so they

needed to discuss more. Some of the shareholders were also department heads. They were already

very dissatisfied with the parachuted

Nicole. Thus, they were not so proactive

with Nicole since Grant was not around.

Those shareholders argued on a few

aspects and delayed progress. When

Nicole’s people proposed an idea, they

would excuse themselves and shirk off

the responsibility. She swept a glance at

the group and knew that they were just

here to watch a show. Samantha Lindt just sat on the side and sneered. Micah Zielinski also attended

the meeting, which was rare, but he did not say a word. He watched as the others put Nicole in a

difficult position and smiled like an old fox. “Vice President Nicole, you’re still young after all. Although

you managed to take this J&L Corporation’s project, it’s still not mature in this field and it’s uncertain

whether it’ll make or lose money. Thus, w e naturally won’t dare to risk too much. Vice President

Nicole, you have to understand how the rest of us feel about i t…”

Nicole hooked her lips. “Understand your

feelings? Mr. Zielinski, do you mean that

you want to break our contract with J&L

Corporation?”

Micah Zielinski was stunned for a

moment and thought, ‘How did it turn into

me wanting to break the contract? Grant

Stanton will kill me when he returns!

“Of course not! It’s just that Mr. Stanton is

out of the country, so we can’t make this

decision. Why don’t we put it on hold and

wait for the President to come back…”

‘He wants to stall time? Every minute is a

n opportunity and crucial in this new field

of development. If Stanton Corporation

loses dominance and no longer have a

say in this project, it’ll be pointless even if

we’re involved in it.’ Nicole thought.

Nicole lowered her head and smiled. Her

eyes darkened and her face grew cold as

she looked at the people at the table.

“So, all of you won’t work if Mr. Stanton

doesn’t come back? Are you going on

strike?”

Everyone did not expect the always good-

tempered Nicole to suddenly get angry.

Although Nicole looked like a pampered

mistress, she was certainly not easy to

fool.

“All of you are the best in the industry. If

you repeatedly delay the progress just

because the boss isn’t here, will you bear

the final losses? Can you afford to?

Which company will want to hire such

people?”

Nicole’s gaze was cold and stern as she

swept a glance at the people in the room.

‘They want to give me a hard time in

Grant’s absence? It’s a pity that I’m not a

pushover!
