The waiter on the side handed over a glass of juice. Nicole said thanks and took it over, then gently took a sip.
Keith stood on the side and watched. “Why aren’t you curious that I’m here?”
Nicole looked at him calmly. “Why should I be curious?”
It had nothing to do with her.
Keith choked and suddenly did not know what to say.
“What are you doing here? Are you here to ask for help from the Old Master?”
Nicole replied, “Mm.”
Keith smiled and rubbed his chin. “What a coincidence! Old Master Leonard is my granduncle, so we’re considered relatives. If you need any help, I can put in a few good words for you. Maybe then, you’ll achieve what you want with half the effort.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “There’s no need for that.” Keith smiled. “I’m just being kind, for Eric’s sake.”
“So, you’re saying that you’ll help without getting anything in return?”
Keith was quiet for a moment. He pursed his lips, and only after a long time did he hesitate to speak.
“If you want to return my photos to me, I’ll probably put in more effort.”
In the end, what haunted Keith most was the photo of him running around naked after losing a bet with Nicole.
That was a real ticking time bomb hanging over his head, which made it hard for him to sleep.
Now, Keith even developed a habit where he subconsciously thinks about whether he did anything to offend Nicole whenever he hears the words “Stanton Corporation”.
What a coward!
Nicole hooked her lips and raised her eyes to look at him. There was indifference and ridicule in her eyes. “That’s not a good deal.”
If Nicole kept those photos, she could make his life difficult forever.
When Nicole thought about what Keith did to Livia, she just wanted to punch him. ’Such a scumbag doesn’t deserve a good night’s sleep!’
Keith’s body stiffened slightly. His eyes instantly looked disappointed and despairing.
’Sigh… I forgot that it’s impossible to make a deal with this woman…’ Keith thought.
He drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, put down the glass, turned around, and left.
Staying one more second would just make him feel more humiliated.
Nicole raised her eyebrows indifferently. No one could see the slightest fluctuation of emotions.
A few high-society ladies upstairs saw this scene and were a bit dumbfounded.
“Nicole is so conceited! Who does she think she is? Isn’t she here to ask for help?”
“Yeah, she really has that high and mighty attitude wherever she goes. Does she think that she’s the host?”
“I think that Nicole has no other merit other than being beautiful. Why do they say that she has an outstanding ability? If she’s that great, will she still be here to beg Old Master Leonard?”
“Yeah! Mr. Ludwig is the President of the Ludwig Corporation, but she doesn’t show him any respect!”
“Autumn, why did your crush fall for someone like her? I think you’re so much better than her!”
Autumn Ferguson stood next to the railing and looked down with an extremely mocking smile.
“Well, she’s from Stanton Corporation after all. Grandpa Leonard didn’t refuse to have a meal with her because he still has some concerns over their relationship. But… It’ll be a little difficult to get what she wants!”
The people next to the cold voice echoed.
“Right. Does she think that this is Atlanta? I guess she’s never been rejected before in her life, right?”
“Autumn, did you talk to Grandpa Leonard? Grandpa Leonard won’t really help her, right?”
Autumn raised her eyebrows and smiled.
“I just suggested it. Grandpa has his own ideas.”
Someone on the side said, “Grandpa Leonard likes you the most. How could he let you suffer such a grievance?”
”That’s right. Autumn’s mother is Grandpa Leonard’s goddaughter. With this relationship between them, who does Nicole think she is?”
