Ava’s face faintly stiffened when she saw Nicole.
Ava was surprised and amazed at Nicole’s arrival. ’The invitation wasn’t for her, but she actually came?’
Nicole looked at the old man standing next to Ava York. This event was organized by this old man, who had been silent for a long time. Back in the day, the old man had some status and power, but he was gradually replaced by new forces.
Even so, he was still more influential and richer than ordinary people.
His contacts and resources accumulated were still there. People in the business world more or less still respected him. Thus, a lot of familiar old bosses came to this banquet.
Nicole smiled. The old man naturally knew Nicole because he watched her grow up as a child.
He stepped forward. “Ms. Stanton, welcome! I should be calling you President Nicole now, right?”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Uncle, do you really welcome me? I thought I had offended you somehow…”
The old man frowned. “Why do you say that?”
Nicole glanced at Ava, who was standing beside the old man. Ava’s expression clearly became tense.
“Why did you only send an invitation to my brother and forgot to send it to me? I clearly had the best relationship with you when I was a child!”
The old man laughed helplessly, “How could I forget you…” He paused and suddenly remembered something, then glanced at Ava and was silent for a few seconds. The old man seemed to be thinking about something. Ava froze. She smiled stiffly and apologized.
“It’s my fault. When my subordinates showed me the list, I didn’t review it carefully. Ms. Stanton, sorry for the misunderstanding.”
The old man’s brow loosened, and his tone deepened slightly. “Don’t keep such careless staff.”
Nicole smiled and said with a charming voice, “Forget it. I don’t want people to think that I came here just to tattletale. My brother asked me to mingle around, not to pick a fight.”
The old man pointed at her. “Oh child, I haven’t seen you for a few years and you’re still just like your father, just like a little fox!”
Nicole laughed and turned to introduce Harvey. “My male companion, Harvey Sage, the famous actor!”
Once the old man heard that Harvey was an actor, he did not care much and only exchanged some pleasantries.
After all, actors in the eyes of ordinary people were a sacred existence, but in the business circle, this profession was not that great.
“Alright, go in and hang around. Carter is also inside.”
Nicole smiled. In fact, Nicole was more interested in knowing why Ava was by the old man’s side.
However, she guessed that they would soon find out. Nicole said a couple more words and took Harvey inside.
At a glance, she saw that the President of Golden Sea Corporation was also there. His daughter, who had just celebrated her birthday, was also there. What a lively party!
That daughter was bored and scanned the whole room. When she saw Nicole, she walked straight over.
“Ms. Stanton, it’s been a while.”
The girl greeted Nicole the way adults greet each other and smiled as she held a glass of orange juice in her hand. She wore a very decent dress which made her look like a pampered high-society lady at first glance.
There were many high-society ladies around, yet the girl came to greet Nicole by preference.
Even the President of Golden Sea Corporation was surprised. ’When did my daughter get so familiar with Nicole Stanton?’
Fearing that his daughter would cause trouble, he hurriedly followed her over.
“Ms. Stanton, this is my daughter, Hayley. She’s in her rebellious stage and doesn’t know the rules, so please don’t get offended.”
Nicole laughed. She smiled as she looked at the girl. She seemed extraordinarily forgiving.
“Why would I? I even attended your daughter‘s birthday party last time. Hayley, did you like my gift?”
The little girl smiled and raised her eyebrows.
“I like it very much! It even has my name engraved inside.” The designer added this little detail that Nicole knew of.
