Chapter 49

Nicole’s alarm clock rang, waking her up
from her beauty sleep.
Nicole had requested to go back to her
apartment last night She felt a lot more
comfortable without waking up to so
many maids
She looked at her phone and saw that the
photos from the last n|ght‘s party had pushed
her and Eric to fame once again
[Rich ex-couple suspected to be back
together?]
it was attached with a picture of Eric and
Nicole’s kiss at the end of the dance It
was an ingenious shot Even the lighting
and background looked very artistic
Nicole sneered and did not pay attention t

o it. She closed the article and opened
her email
Logan had already sent Nicole’s schedule
to her early in the morning. Nicole
washed up and listened to some finance
news
Last night’s trouble had all been forgotten
after a good sleep and she would not let
Eric Ferguson affect her mood again
Yvette kept bombarding Nicole with calls



because she had just seen the picture
online. She wanted to confirm the truth of
the matter because the picture did not
look photoshopped
Nicole picked up and helplessly explained
what happened. Yvette then breathed a
sigh of relief and started to badmouth the
Fergusons, then suddenly said, “Hey, look!
The article’s been taken down!”

After checking, Nicole saw that it was

gone.

Nicole would not waste her money on this, so who could it be? Eric Ferguson? Yvette laughed loudly
on the other side of the phone. “Look at our group chat! lan spent money to take it down!’ Nicole clicked
into their group chat and saw a ton of messages, [lan Carter $1 million PR fees! The audacity! [Yvette
Quimbey: Carter, didn’t you go to the party last night? Why isn’t there a single shot of you?] (Julie
Nixon: If there’s a shot of him, wonder who’ll pay to take it down…)

(Yvette Quimbey: Hahahahaha! ſlan Carter Meanies! Nicole laughed helplessly and sent a message
[Nicole Stanton: Next time, please transfer the money to me directly, then I’ll come out to make a
statement] [lan Carter: *cries in despair* vomits blood) Nicole put away her phone and was a lot
happier At about 7:00 am, Logan drove over to pick Nicole up and brought breakfast for her. “I bought
this on the way. I don’t know if it’s to your liking…” Nicole was not that picky and took it. Thanks. Let’s
go.”

*There’s a meeting at 8:00 am. President Stanton said that you’re fully in charge of J&L’s matters and
that he won’t ask questions.”



Nicole knew that Grant was delegating it t
o her as part of her training, so she
nodded and said, “Have you contacted J&
L? We have to do our inspection in
advance.”
“I heard that Ferguson Corporation is
doing their inspection next week, so I
made an appointment for tomorrow
morning.”
“Good job.”
Nicole looked down at the documents.
She did not want to meet with people
from Ferguson Corporation. Although Eric
might not be personally involved in this
project, she still did not want to take the

risk They talked on the way to the office about work matters. Nicole was relieved that Grant was willing
to give her someone as capable as Logan. As soon as they arrived at the office, the receptionist came
over holding a huge bouquet and looked at her with a smile.” Vice President Nicole, someone sent you
flowers.” Nicole frowned slightly and glanced at the card on it. [Dearest Nicole,

I’ll love you for ten thousand years <3
Yours truly
lan Carter]
Nicole did an eye-flip in her heart and said
to the receptionist, “Throw it away for me,



thanks.” After taking two steps, Nicole stopped in her tracks and looked back. “If there are any more
flower deliveries in the future, just reject them.” She did not want to give lan the slightest hope and
wanted to nip his little spark in the bud. “Yes, ma’am.” The receptionist looked regretful. ‘These flowers
are so pretty but they’re about to be thrown into the trash can… The meeting began on time at 8:00 am
When Nicole went into the conference room, everyone had already arrived. Nicole sat on the main seat
and looked at the people in the room. “Our cooperation with J&L Corporation has already begun. Now,
we’ll need to form a project team to

follow up with the tasks. Logan will send you all a list later.” Everyone knew that this cooperation with
J&L Corporation was in a brand new field. Getting involved in this project would likely catapult them to
success, so everyone was very eager. After the meeting, Samantha Lindt camet o Nicole “Vice
President Nicole, why am I not on the list?” “How can I miss such a good opportunity t o reap benefits
in this important core project? Nicole looked up from her desk and raised her eyebrows. “If every
employee who wasn’t on the list came to ask me this question, thousands of people would come
knocking on my door. How do you

think I should answer?”
