Chapter 1001 Nicole Follows Bad Examples

Nicole frowned slightly.

"Alison? Ernesto?"

She subconsciously shouted and saw Ernesto poking out his head with some food on the corners of his
mouth.

"Mrs. Green, are you done?"

"What are you doing?"

Nicole looked at him in confusion.

...

Ernesto came out from the corner and hid a pastry behind him. He had only taken a few bites.

"Haven’t you had lunch?"

Nicole just shook her head, thinking that something had happened to them.

"Where's Alison?"

"She went to the bathroom."

Hearing Ernesto's reply, Nicole got depressed.

Alison went to the bathroom while Ernesto was eating.

Two actions didn't match each other.

"Stop eating. Follow me back to the Shaw's. We can dine together."



"No, Mrs. Green, I'm not going. There are still a lot of things to do. Mr. Green has arranged a lot of work
for me. I haven't finished it yet. Since you don't need me for the time being, I just want to take this
opportunity to eat something."

Ernesto was a little embarrassed.

Nicole found that his pastry turned cold. She didn't know when he bought it.

During this period of time, when Samuel was not around, the workload of Ernesto had considerably
increased. Moreover, he took over Jacob's job and needed to run the company. It was really difficult for
him.

"It's not good to have cold food. If you don't want to go to the Shaw's for dinner, then have a bowl of hot
beef noodles at the door. It's my treat."

"No need, Mrs. Green. I'm fine with this. It saves me time and can fill up my stomach. It won't delay
anything. I can still drive."

Ernesto said frankly.

Nicole felt uncomfortable and distressed.

"Alright, listen to me and have a meal. Let's go!"

Nicole grabbed Ernesto's hand and dragged him away.

Ernesto was stunned. Then he hurriedly shook away Nicole's hand in the next moment.

Heavens!

If Samuel knew that Nicole held Ernesto's hand, he might break Ernesto's hand.



Nicole was somewhat surprised.

"What?"

"Well, Mr. Green will be jealous."

Ernesto stuttered, but Nicole laughed out loud.

He was funny.

However, because of Ernesto, Nicole's uncomfortable mood had somewhat eased up.

"Alright, I won't hold your hand. Hurry up and leave. Take me to find Alison."

Since Nicole ordered, Ernesto didn't dare to delay any longer and followed behind Nicole respectfully.

However, Nicole did not see Alison.

"Where is she?"

"She went to buy water for you."

Ernesto had to tell the truth.

"Mrs. Green, can you not tell Alison that I went for a bite to eat instead of staying by your side?"

Ernesto was a little scared.

"Why?"

Nicole was puzzled, but she acted as if she was waiting for a good show.



"Alison is too strong. I'm not her match. I pulled her away just now, and she almost broke my arm. Is
she really a woman?" Ernesto said awkwardly.

Nicole burst into laughter.

"Is that the only reason?"

"Not exactly. She told me to stay by your side to protect you, but I went for a bite. She will definitely
beat me up again if she finds it out."

Ernesto explained as if he were a wronged wife.

Nicole smiled and said, "Why can't you defeat her?"

"I will work hard! I will go back and train hard. I guarantee that I will not be outdone by a woman!"

"Do you think you deserve to be a man?"

Alison came back. Hearing what Ernesto said, she snorted coldly. Ernesto immediately hid behind
Nicole like a quail.

Nicole rarely saw Ernesto behave like this. She couldn't help but smile, "Alison, don't frighten him, or I
will have no helper."

"There's no need to use such a loser."

Alison had a sharp tongue. Ernesto waved his small fist behind Nicole with anger, but he didn't dare to
go out to confront Alison.

What an infuriating woman Alison was!

Nicole felt that they were funny. She smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll treat you to something delicious."



Alison just wanted to say refuse. But when she saw Nicole's determined expression, she shut her
mouth.

"Here's water."

Alison handed over the water in her hand to Nicole and went out with her by her left. Ernesto only
dared to follow behind them.

These days, women were not easy to be trifled with.

Ernesto muttered secretly, not daring to fall behind.

Alison was reluctant to pay attention to Ernesto and said to Nicole, "When I went out to buy water just
now, I saw a few suspicious people wandering around your car. We should take a taxi back later."

Nicole paused slightly.

Who were those people?

They seized any chance to make things difficult for Nicole.

"Alright."

It was just a car, and she could afford to throw it away.

"Have someone check the car later. If there's no problem, drive it back."

"Got it."

As they spoke, Alison and Nicole had arrived at a beef restaurant nearby.



Ernesto glanced at Nicole's clothes and then looked at the beef restaurant. He smiled and said, "Mrs.
Green, why don't you go back first? I'll just eat by myself."

"I'll watch you eat. I know you well. If I leave, you won't eat. Are you going to the company to work for
me? Ernesto, I'm not in such a hurry. Those enemies are always around. If you're on guard all the time,
you'll be tired. Let's go in and eat. "

After saying that, Nicole walked in. She didn't care about such an ordinary environment at all and sat
down at the table.

"Sir, a bowl of beef noodles with extra beef, thank you."

"Okay."

The owner quickly went to work.

Ernesto was flattered.

Seeing that his eyes seemed to be wet, Alison couldn't help but say, "Really? It's just a bowl of beef
noodles."

"You know nothing."

Ernesto blamed her and waited at the side.

Nicole felt that Alison seemed to be deliberately against Ernesto. However, Alison did not have any
malicious intentions. Did Alison take a fancy to Ernesto?

As Nicole guessed, a faint smile lifted the corners of her mouth.

Love was miraculous.



When the beef noodles were served, Nicole pushed them up to Ernesto.

Ernesto was a little reserved. But he was really hungry, so he stopped pretending and had three bowls.

"Holy shit. How long have you not eaten?"

"One day."

After finishing his last mouthful of soup, Ernesto instantly felt his entire body full of vitality.

"Don't do this again. It's not good for your stomach. If you're sick from hunger, Samuel will be worried."

What Nicole said moved Ernesto.

"I will definitely not make you and Mr. Green worry about me."

"Who do you think you are? Mrs. Green means that if you fall sick from hunger, no one will help her
manage the company. At that time, she and Mr. Green won't spend quality time together. Mr. Green will
feel sorry for his wife."

Alison's explanation embarrassed Ernesto.

Nicole patted Alison on the shoulder and said, "Keep silence even if you see it through. That's my good
friend."

"I'm afraid he'll get proud."

Alison replied humbly.

Ernesto felt that his life was difficult.

His life was shrouded by darkness since Nicole and Ernesto made fun of him.



"Mrs. Green, I'm going back to the company first."

"Okay, be careful on the way. You must take care of yourself for the good life of Samuel and me."

Nicole was rarely so mischievous.

Ernesto had just stood up when he almost tripped.

Nicole followed bad examples.

Sure enough, Alison was not a bad influence on her.

Ernesto complained secretly and quickly left the shop.

Nicole smiled even more happily.

"Are you interested in him?"

Nicole poked Alison with her arm.

Although this was the first time they met and worked together, Nicole believed that Alison was capable
since her grandpa recommended her. Besides, Nicole liked Alison's personality.

Alison did not feel awkward and frankly said, "He is easy on the eye. But he is weak and he needs to
practice."

"Take it easy. Don't scare him away. There aren't many pure boys these days."

"I'll have him in the palm of my hand. I take a fancy on him, so he is the mountain top that I want to
occupy. If I can't make it, it means I fail the mission. It's not acceptable in the army."



Alison's theory of love surprised Nicole, but Nicole didn't say anything else. When it came to love, it
would be good not to push too far. Let nature take its course.

"Alright, let's go back for dinner. Grandpa should be anxious."

Nicole got up and left the beef noodle shop.

When Alison was talking to her, she had booked an online car. It was just the right time. No sooner did
they go out than the reserved car arrived.

Nicole trusted Alison and directly went up.

Along the way, they returned to the Shaw's safely.

Edwin was busy. Upon seeing Nicole, he immediately smiled and said, "You couldn't have timed it
better. The dinner is ready. Your sense of smell is as acute as dogs'."

"Grandpa, I'm your granddaughter. You get yourself involved as well when you call me a dog."

Nicole replied with a smile.

"You have the gift of gab. Get dressed and wash your hands. Dinner will be served later."

"Alright."

Nicole threw her bag onto the sofa and went back to her bedroom to wash up.

Although it had been a long time since she came here, Edwin had people buy some clothes and daily
necessities according to the season. He was afraid that after Nicole returned, she would be short of
something.

Nicole opened the cabinet to look for clothes and found a small box in the corner.



She had never noticed this little box before.

Everyone wanted to satisfy his curiosity, and Nicole was no exception.

She took out the small box, only to find that it was locked.

What was the mysterious stuff inside?

Nicole quickly got dressed and came out with the small box.

"Grandpa, what is this little box in my wardrobe?"

Edwin looked at the small box, and his expression changed slightly.

"Your grandmother left it behind."

"Really? Do you have the key?"

"I don't know where I threw it. There's nothing particularly important. If you really want to see it, just
smash the lock. She's gone. There's no use of keeping a box."

Although Edwin said that, there was still a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Nicole thought that perhaps it was something that grandma left for grandpa. Maybe she was
embarrassed to tell him when she left.

Thinking of this, Nicole hurriedly walked down with the box in her hand.

"Grandpa, let's open it together."

Edwin did not refuse.

Nicole knew that her guess was correct.



She asked Alison to open the box. But when she saw what was inside, she was stunned.
