Chapter 62 It’s Just a Car
To the butler, Young Lady Stanton should
not drive herself. She should be
chauffeured around wherever she went.
Otherwise, it was considered his
dereliction of duty.
Nicole laughed and said, “Mr. Anderson,
there’s no need for that. I can drive
myself to work. Don’t worry.”
She did not say much and hung up the
phone. She drove the car out of the
garage and went to the office.
There was no traffic, so she had a
smooth journey. However, Nicole was a
little perplexed why other cars on the
road were actively avoiding her. Even
when she was waiting at a red light, the
cars in front and behind her were several
meters away
‘Is it because I’m a female driver?’ Nicole
thought.
When Nicole got to the office, she gave
her keys to the parking valet and went
into the lobby. From the corner of her eye,
Nicole noticed that Samantha Lindt was
glaring at her indignantly with an
undisguised resentment.
Nicole was baffled. ‘Did she find out that
I’d given Grant the recording? She
shouldn’t know so soon…’
“Ms. Lindt, why didn’t you go upstairs
when you’re already here?”
Samantha coldly snorted and looked
askance at her. “Mr. Stanton must really
like you to give you such an expensive
car. It has to be more than $2 million,
right?”
‘Otherwise, how can Nicole afford to buy
a Porsche Cayenne? Looking at the
features, it’s also the highest specs!
Nicole frowned and remembered
something. She laughed lightly and
flipped her hair to the back. “It’s just a
car. Why would I need someone to buy it
for me? I can afford it myself…”
She gently swept a glance at Samantha’s
reddened face and went to the
President’s private elevator as if nothing
had happened.
“Did she think that she can buy me off
with a used Audi?’ Nicole thought.
Logan met Nicole upstairs and briefed
her about the meeting later.
Nicole walked into the conference room i
n her high heels. Samantha also went in a
t the same time. Nicole swept a glance at
the crowd and saw that everyone was
present. “Let’s begin.”
They had reached a consensus with J&L
Corporation on the direction of this
cooperation. The rest was about the in-
depth details. All their profits and
interests lie in these ubiquitous details.
Every little detail entailed huge profits, so
they needed to discuss more.
Some of the shareholders were also
department heads. They were already
very dissatisfied with the parachuted
Nicole. Thus, they were not so proactive
with Nicole since Grant was not around.
Those shareholders argued on a few
aspects and delayed progress. When
Nicole’s people proposed an idea, they
would excuse themselves and shirk off
the responsibility. She swept a glance at
the group and knew that they were just
here to watch a show.
Samantha Lindt just sat on the side and
sneered. Micah Zielinski also attended
the meeting, which was rare, but he did
not say a word. He watched as the others
put Nicole in a difficult position and
smiled like an old fox.
“Vice President Nicole, you’re still young
after all. Although you managed to take
this J&L Corporation’s project, it’s still not
mature in this field and it’s uncertain
whether it’ll make or lose money. Thus, w
e naturally won’t dare to risk too much.
Vice President Nicole, you have to
understand how the rest of us feel about i
t…”
Nicole hooked her lips. “Understand your
feelings? Mr. Zielinski, do you mean that
you want to break our contract with J&L
Corporation?”
Micah Zielinski was stunned for a
moment and thought, ‘How did it turn into
me wanting to break the contract? Grant
Stanton will kill me when he returns!
“Of course not! It’s just that Mr. Stanton is
out of the country, so we can’t make this
decision. Why don’t we put it on hold and
wait for the President to come back…”
‘He wants to stall time? Every minute is a
n opportunity and crucial in this new field
of development. If Stanton Corporation
loses dominance and no longer have a
say in this project, it’ll be pointless even if
we’re involved in it.’ Nicole thought.
Nicole lowered her head and smiled. Her
eyes darkened and her face grew cold as
she looked at the people at the table.
“So, all of you won’t work if Mr. Stanton
doesn’t come back? Are you going on
strike?”
Everyone did not expect the always good-
tempered Nicole to suddenly get angry.
Although Nicole looked like a pampered
mistress, she was certainly not easy to
fool.
“All of you are the best in the industry. If
you repeatedly delay the progress just
because the boss isn’t here, will you bear
the final losses? Can you afford to?
Which company will want to hire such
people?”
Nicole’s gaze was cold and stern as she
swept a glance at the people in the room.
‘They want to give me a hard time in
Grant’s absence? It’s a pity that I’m not a
pushover!
