Nicole was in a great mood and did not care about that.
“Sure, you can go if you want. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen each other anyway. Molly must miss you a lot!”
Tigger clicked its tongue with extreme disdain and jumped down to look for Floyd to be pampered.
Late at night.
The sound of a few cicadas chirping could be heard.
Nicole took a shower and changed into comfortable clothes before going downstairs to eat dessert.
Grant had just returned from Sand City and looked travel- worn.
The butler carried large and small bags behind him. Nicole’s eyes lit up.
“Cake?”
Grant nodded.
“Mm. Don’t you like to eat the cake there? I brought some back for you…”
Nicole walked over with a smile. “Thank you, Big Brother! You’ve worked hard on this business trip!”
Grant chuckled, not impressed by her silver tongue. He tossed the documents on the table.
“This is the current progress of the project in Sand City. I
think it’s necessary to rearrange some items. I’ll tell them to stop work there temporarily, and they should also pay
more attention to the procurement of the new building materials. I’ll go up and take a shower, then discuss with you later.”
Even before Nicole could take a bite of the cake, she realized that she would have to work overtime today.
Her life was too miserable!
The butler held back his laughter on the side.
“I think he bought so much delicious food because he knows that you won’t work unless you have something to eat!”
Nicole nodded in agreement. “Have Mav and K eaten yet?”
“Second Young Master is upstairs. He’s in a bad mood and said not to disturb him. Third Young Master just drove out. He said he’s going for a drink with friends.”
The butler was very responsible and reported the movements of the others.
“Chairman Stanton has gone back to his study…”
Nicole nodded and sat on the sofa. She tugged the blanket on the side and gently covered her slender legs. Then, she picked a pastry at random and bit into it.
It was good.
If she had not been in such a hurry every time she went to Sand C ity, she would have wanted to stay there longer to eat to her heart’s content!”
The TV was showing the financial news, and Nicole watched casually.
As soon as Eric returned from Liberty, he participated in many public events.
In the past, he could not even be invited.
With his number of appearances, it might not be long before the start of that huge project in his hands.
As Nicole watched TV, Grant changed his clothes after a shower and came downstairs. There was vague fatigue between his brows.
“Let’s start…”
Nicole, who had been caught off guard, was still focused on biting into the egg tart in her hand.
She looked at the time. It was almost 10:00 pm.
Nicole wanted to refuse, but she thought of how Grant had just returned from a business trip, yet he did not complain of being tired, while she played all day. What right did she have to say that she was tired?
Thus, Nicole nodded heavily, turned off the TV, and sat on the sofa next to him.
Grant took out the documents. His face was cold.
“Although there were no problems after checking the building materials, I asked the procurement department to rebid. The supplier of the new batch of building materials must be strictly selected…”
Nicole nodded along and soon got into the work.
Once Grant got down to business, two hours passed by easily.
Kai came back, reeked of alcohol. His eyes instantly widened when he saw this scene.
“Grant, you guys are still having a meeting this late?”
Grant ignored him. He did not even raise his head as he let out a faint “mm”, seemingly just tolerating Kai.
Kai looked at Nicole.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet? Don’t you want your smooth and supple skin anymore?”
The air was cold and dense.
Nicole rolled her eyes at Kai. ’Did Kai think that I don’t wanna sleep?’
She controlled her emotions.
“Third Brother, you’ve been drinking all night, huh? Did you have fun?”
