Chapter 423 More Handsome and Richer
Early the next morning, Nicole received a call from Kai.
“Newton & Co’s bankruptcy happened so suddenly.
Is it related to Eric Ferguson?” Nicole knew that Grant would notice, but he should not have received this news so early since he was abroad. She calmly told Grant that Paul Newton was the mastermind behind the car accident.
Grant was silent for a full minute. His voice turned incomparably cold.
“Make sure Luca’s always with you and don’t let your guard down. You don’t need to interfere with the rest. Just wait for me to return.”
Nicole agreed and chatted for a while before she hung up the phone.
She focused her efforts on the new project and went to J&L Corporation early in the morning Tucker was too inexperienced, so he faced some difficult issues and did not know some difficult isst and did not know how to make certain decisions.
Nicole took all day to teach him patiently. In a blink of an eye, it was already evening. The sun was setting outside the window, dyeing half of the sky red. It was beyond beautiful.
Nicole stretched her back and intended to leave work. As soon as she left the office, she saw the man sitting in a wheelchair with an imposing aura.
His sharp and defined features made him look so unapproachable and cold even when he was not standing tall. Gerard Lichman, who was sitting next to Eric on the sofa, saw Nicole and raised his eyebrows.
“Ms. Stanton, you’re finally off work!” His tone was very relieved. Gerard loosened his tie.
Just because Eric wanted to wait for Nicole to get off work, he purposely came over in the afternoon and looked through all their projects and accounts. Eric’s sharp eyes picked out many faults. He was better than many faults.
He was better than professional auditors! If Eric stayed any longer, Gerard would probably lose his mind. Once Eric saw Nicole, his eyes instantly became gentle. He looked up at Nicole with a warm smile.
“You’re just in time. There’s a French restaurant that opened nearby. Why don’t you come with me to try out the dishes?” “Why do you want me to try out food?” Nicole was annoyed. Eric looked at her aggrievedly.
“Didn’t we agree that you’ll take care of me?” 1 His look made her look like a scum that abandoned him. The people around them could hardly believe their eyes. Nicole did not want to endure the tormenting gaze of the crowd.
In an instant, she went up to push Eric’s wheelchair and threw her bag to Luca. “Let’s go and try the food then.” Nicole felt guilty after all.
Luca followed expressionlessly and took the wheelchair from her at some point. Nicole did not even realize it, but Eric did and could only hold back his anger. When they were about to get into the car, a small human darted over. > “Pretty Lady! I miss you so much…” Nicole paused in her footsteps and saw Lil Michael running over excitedly.
He hugged her legs and whined in a baby voice, “I haven’t seen you for a long time! I miss you so so so so much…? > She stroked his curly hair and felt her heart melting into a puddle of water.
She squatted down and hugged his soft, chubby little body. “Lil Michael, I miss you too. I heard your daddy say that you’ve been studying hard. You’re such a good boy!” Originally, Lil Michael was very displeased with his father, who arranged for someone to look after him, making sure that he would do his making sure that he could do his homework.
He finally managed to sneak out to look for Pretty Lady. When he heard this, the resentment that built up in his heart these few days instantly dissipated. ‘Pretty Lady is praising me!’ Lil Michael hugged Nicole’s fragrant body and curved his eyes with joy.
“Yes! I’ll grow up to be more handsome and richer than Daddy!” By then, I can finally stay with my pretty lady without any interruptions! Next to them, Eric snorted and glared at the kid coldly.
He was disdainful of this child’s blind confidence. “That’s enough. We should go now.” Lil Michael looked at his pretty lady nervously. “Where are you going? I wanna go too!”
