The people in the back continued to discuss in a soft voice. “Ms. Stanton really drank too much…”
’there are too many things happening recently, so maybe she’s upset.”
“Old Master Leonard, are you really just going to ignore it? No matter what, this project is also under the Stanton Corporation. If Floyd Stanton comes forward, we can hardly refuse…”
Autumn let out a light laugh.
“How could Chairman Stanton step in so easily? If Nicole can’t solve this kind of trivial matter, it just shows her incompetence. How else can she establish her strong CEO persona in the industry going forward? We’ll just wait and see what happens…”
Old Master Leonard said, “You shouldn’t go too far either. I still have a relationship with the Stanton family. If Floyd Stanton contacts me, I won’t continue to make things difficult for his daughter…”
Someone from the approval department asked, “Then we’ll continue to drag it out?”
Old Master Leonard sighed, then laughed casually.
“Drag it out. Nicole’s still young and inexperienced, so she won’t be able to make a big fuss. She just needs to compromise and make Autumn happy, then it won’t be a big deal…”
Everyone looked at Autumn a little differently.
They could see that Old Master Leonard valued Autumn, so much so that he could disregard Nicole Stanton.
Autumn proudly lifted her chin, looked at Old Master Leonard, and pouted.
“Thank you, Grandpa! I know what I’m doing and won’t make things difficult for you.”
Autumn just wanted Nicole to bow down. Nicole should be able to understand.
When Nicole saw Autumn appear at this dinner party, with Nicole’s intelligence, she should have guessed the solution.
As soon as Nicole left the villa, she stood up straight.
There was no trace of drunkenness.
Luca let go of Nicole’s arm and took a step back like he was used to this.
“Miss, shall we go back to the hotel?”
Nicole looked at the time. It was almost 10:00 pm.
This dinner was not a waste of time. At least, it showed Nicole clearly that some friendships could not be counted on.
Nicole let out a faint “mm” and nodded.
Luca called the driver, but no one answered. However, the car was parked in the distance.
“The driver may have fallen asleep. I’ll get him, so wait here for a moment.”
Nicole nodded, and Luca ran over quickly. The night breeze was a bit chilly.
Nicole’s mind was unbelievably clear.
Someone behind her approached. Nicole heard it clearly, but she did not react.
Listening to the footsteps, Nicole thought that there should be no one else there except Keith.
“Nicole, you’re just going to leave?” Keith came over, somewhat incredulous.
Nicole came with a purpose, so why did she just leave without achieving her purpose?
Nicole glanced at him lightly.
“If I don’t leave, should I just sit there to be humiliated ?” Keith paused. His intuition was right.
That strange tension at the dinner table just now was really disconcerting.
“But don’t you want to do your business? It’s not like your style to leave like that, huh?”
Nicole’s voice was extremely cold.
“If one road doesn’t work, then I’ll just take another one. I won’t stick to the same path.”
Keith opened his mouth. His eyes flickered. “Actually, there is another way. I have two good solutions!”
Just now at the dinner table, Keith understood the gist of it.
Encountering such a situation was very annoying, just like stepping on shit. It was completely disgusting but easy to solve.
Nicole looked at him and curled her lips. “What do you want to say?”
Keith asked, “Autumn only hates you so much because of Clayton, right?”
Nicole raised her eyebrows and nodded.
“Probably so!”
Keith smiled. “Isn’t it simple then? Get Clayton to sleep with her for one night and have a little pillow talk with her. Won’t everything be solved then?”
