Chapter 31

Nicole looked like she had a headache. ”
Yvette, who the hell is so dumb to send m
e flowers?”
“Of course, it’s Ian Carter. He instructed m
e to deliver it to you by hand.”
‘Ian? That Young Master is really capable
of making things happen!’

Yvette laughed. “Old Master Carter sent
Hugh to study abroad. I heard that if he
fails this time, his grandpa will break his
legs.“
“Awww… it’s a pity that we didn’t get to
send him off. I guess we’ll just have to
wait for him to come back and throw him
a nice welcome back party!”
Nicole was helpless and got her assistant to take the flowers out of her office She
felt a lot more comfortable without the
strong scent of flowers in the air.
Yvette nodded. “Yup, my thoughts
exactly. By the way, I’ve looked into Fl-l
Corporation like you asked me to last
time.”
Nicole looked up at her. Yvette laughed
and said, “FH Corporation has long since
become a shell company.



They keep asking for loans everywhere and owe the
bank a large sum of money they can’t
even pay off. Their company is about to be auctioned off and theyjust have a
bunch of sh*tty projects left. Whoever
gets involved with them will surely get
into trouble. That Samantha Lindt is
trying to push you into a trap, huh?”
This was what Nicole expected. She
raised an eyebrow and thought, ‘So she’s

trying to dig a pit for me lo jump in myself
The dinner tonight will be extra
interesting.
“Thanks”

Yvette scratched her head. “lt’s nothing.
but. I can’t work for you anymore. My
mom is coming back from Hong Kong
She just acquired a new cosmetic
company and promised that I can
participate in their research and
development.

Nikki, you know that this has always been my dream.“ Yvette’s mother was a famous career woman in
the industry. She had always wanted Yvette to be part of the management in their family business, but
Yvette preferred laboratory work. Since she finally got the opportunity to participate in research, she
certainly would not give up on it



Nicole smiled. “Sure, then I wish our dearest Miss Quimbey all the wealth in the worId”‘ The two ladies
looked at each other and smiled. There was no need to say more because they had a tacit
understanding between them. “Then you should be careful. Just ask if you need help with anything.
We’ll support you as best we can!“

Nicole nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t be a stranger with you guys.’ Yvette took her purse and slipped
away after chatting for a bit, then Nicole began t o focus on work again. After work, Nicole stood up
from her chair and was planning to talk to Logan about the dinner. However, Samantha sashayed into
Nicole’s office and said.

Since it’s a private dinner, it’s not necessary to bring your assistant, right?” Nicole raised her eyebrows.
“Okay then.”

Logan looked at Nicole worriedly, but
Nicole gave him an assuring smile.
When they got to the private club, they
went into a pre-booked private room.
Samantha did a friendly cheek kiss with a
pot-bellied middle-aged man who was
sitting at the table, which made Nicole
feel nauseous.

Out of politeness, Nicole still walked overt o say hello. When Chairman Zeller saw Nicole’s face, his
eyes visibly lit up with unconcealed lechery, which was very disgusting. “This is Vice President Nicole,
right? I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re as beautiful as they say…”

Chairman Zeller stretched out his hand. but Nicole only nodded slightly as a greeting before she took a
seat. “Mr. Zeller, you’re too kind. Your reputation precedes you.“ Samantha gave Nicole a meaningful
glance. “Vice President Nicole, since you jUS1 joined Stanton Corporation, you might not know that we



have a good relationship with FH Corporation, so it’s not a problem cooperating with them Why don’t
you take out the contract for Mr. Zeller? If there’s no problem, we can sign it today.”

Nicole paused and raised an eyebrow.

then took out the prepared contract. “
Sure. Mr. Zeller, you’d better look at it
carefully.“
The middle-aged man opposite her took
over the contract and swept a casual

glance at it as if he already knew of its contents. When he caught sight of a number there, his face
instantly sank. ‘Vice President Nicole, why is the commission on this 30% higher than the promised
figure?” Samantha was startled and took a look at the contract. Her expression changed greatly and
said, “Who changed this?” “Me, of course…” Nicole lowered her head with a smile.

“Since I’m here to talk about this project, l have the say in it. We can go with this percentage or forget
about it altogether. Everyone knew that if it was raised by thirty percent, FH Corporation’s initial
investment would be tens of millions more, which was too much for a faltering shell company on the
verge of

bankruptcy. Samantha’s face turned red with anger. ” Nicole, how can you just change it as you
please?” “l’m Stanton Corporation’s Vice President, so I can do as I please. Ms. Lindt, I’m thinking of
our company’s best interest, so why are you getting angry?

You should be happy, don’t you think? Are you Stanton Corporation’s employee or FH Corporation’s
person?” Nicole looked at Samantha meaningfully. As soon as she heard this, Samantha’s face turned
glum. “I-l’m Stanton Corporation’s employee, but Nicole, business is based on trust. We’ve already



agreed on the amount beforehand, so you can’t just change it like this!“ “As long as nothing’s been
signed, everything can be changed.” Nicole

playfully looked at the angry Chairman Zeller. “Or perhaps, Mr. Zeller and Ms. Lindt have already
reached some sort of agreement in private?”
