Nicole faintly glanced at the project manager. Her tone was extremely cold.
“I’m sure that your predecessor should’ve made it very clear to you that this partner is different from the others. You shouldn’t mention fairness. The prices we make public are industry secrets. If you dare to disclose them, I’ll make sure that you won’t be able to continue in this industry and spend some time in jail!”
Her eyes were so fierce that the project manager trembled slightly. He quickly averted his gaze.
He could not say anything anymore.
Nicole looked at them with an icy aura. “Go back to your desks and wait for the company’s verdict. Let me remind you that you can still make up for your mistakes before the results come out.”
The four men sat there. Their bodies stiffened, and no one dared to look at each other.
They left the office with gloomy faces.
Nicole took a sip of coffee and saw Kai knocking on the door and waltzing in.
“Why did you get so angry? Don’t get wrinkles!”
Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “This is nothing compared to what Grant would’ve done. He would’ve gotten the police to intervene and wouldn’t show any mercy.”
However, Nicole did not like to make a big fuss.
She wanted to settle this privately and pit those people up against themselves so that she just needed to sit back and reap the results.
Kai put the dessert that he was holding on her table. “It’s tiramisu. Try it.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “You want to bribe me?”
“Tsk tsk… Once you sit in this position, you forget that I’m your brother?”
Kai rolled his eyes. “Why would I need to waste money to bribe you?”
Nicole looked at him for a moment and took it with a smile. “Then thank you, Third Brother!”
Kai snorted slightly and felt speechless by her sycophantic look.
He paused and asked her tentatively.
“Did Julie contact you again?”
Before Nicole could swallow the cake, she wanted to spit it out.
Kai quickly covered her mouth and warned her.“ You can’t spit it out! You already ate it, so tell me!”
Nicole took a deep breath. She knew that there was no free lunch in this world.
“No.”
Kai touched his nose. “Then you should take the initiative to contact her, right? She’s not feeling too well these two days. I don’t know whether she’s eating regularly. She doesn’t like Italian food, so tell her to eat at restaurants with international cuisine. Don’t just settle for something simple as a meal…”
The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched as she listened to Kai yapping on about his worries for Julie.
Nicole could not resist tapping on her phone to secretly call Julie.
Kai sighed and sat on Nicole’ s desk, looking listless as if he was about to cry.
“Every time I think of her not eating properly, I
can’t bear to eat myself. I find it hard to swallow another bite of food. I think that I’m lovesick. But I know Julie’s angry with me. She won’t let me contact her and won’t even let me call her. If I call her, she’ll get even angrier. I’m just in an endless loop. I’d give anything to watch her eat a nice meal
Nicole was speechless as she stared at Kai’s emotional performance.
If Julie had not answered the call, Nicole would have hung up because she was afraid that Julie would gag when she heard this.
Nicole looked at Kai speechlessly. Her devilishly handsome third brother looked so disheveled and became like a sickly man. It seemed like he would fall if she just gave him a light push.
She coughed. “Are you done yapping? I still have to work. If I’d known that eating this tiramisu would mean listening to you talk about this, I wouldn’t have eaten it!”
Nicole truly regretted it.
