Chapter 1630

Competent Female Assistant

When they arrived at the manor, they could easily get in even without an invitation based on Nicole’s
face. Luca was carrying the clothes in the back, looking just like he had just returned from a shopping
spree with Nicole. After asking for the room number, Nicole was just about to go upstairs when she
suddenly saw Lance and a group of people coming over. Nicole had to admit that Lance was glowing
and spirited now that he was about to get married. He looked a lot better than the last time she met
him.

Everyone saw Nicole, so she could not hide even if she wanted to. “Ms. Stanton? What brings you
here?” “Yes, Ms. Stanton, if you‘d come earlier, you wouldn‘t have missed the barbecue lunch just
now...”

“Ms. Stanton, let‘s go play golf together?”



...... Nicole smiled and politely declined. “I‘m not here to do business today. I‘m here to find my friend.
Everyone, please enjoy yourselves. Let‘s get together again some other day...” Everyone smiled and
nodded. Naturally, they did not force her. Only Lance frowned slightly. He vaguely knew that the friend
Nicole was looking for was Yvette. But why didn‘t Yvette look for him? Why did Yvette ask for help from
someone so far away? One Nicole shot a meaningful glance at Lance and did not say another word.
She lifted her feet and went upstairs. Luca followed closely with the things in hand. Everyone dispersed
one after another. Lance took a sip of wine and turned his head to see his assistant Iris smiling as she
walked over to him. “Mr. Sheldon, you‘ve had enough to drink. Do you want to leave the venue early?”
Lance sent Hans to prepare for the wedding, so Hans recommended a female assistant who did not
stand out in the secretariat to come and replace him. Originally, Lance was quite skeptical, but after
observing for a few days, Iris was very efficient. She was not ostentatious and high–profile and was



able to handle the occasion with ease. She was surprisingly competent. Thus, this project‘s reception
was arranged by her. Lance was satisfied with this. Other than that, Lance always felt that something
was wrong.

When Hans came back, he would still transfer her away. Lance stretched out his hand. “Where‘s my
phone?” Iris was stunned. “Outside, in my bag.” Lance wrinkled his eyebrows. “What if I miss an
important call?” Iris hastily spoke. “That won‘t happen. I just looked at it three minutes ago. There are
no important calls, just some calls from the office that aren‘t as important as this party.” Even so, Lance
still looked at her. His eyes were a bit cold. Iris felt that her answer was seamless, and she was
confident that she could do a good job as Lance‘s assistant. It was a rare opportunity for Hans to leave.
She could finally approach Lance, so how could she continue to hide her sharpness? However, Lance‘s
gaze earlier clearly had some dissatisfaction. Iris thought she had misread it. When she wanted to look
closer, Lance had already shifted his gaze away. Iris sighed in relief. Lance raised his hand and looked
at his watch. “Where‘s Yvette?” Iris‘s face faintly stiffened, and she smiled.

)“Ms. Quimbey is not quite adapted to this kind of occasion. She couldn‘t take it after a few sips of wine,
so she probably found a room to rest...” Although what Iris said was harmless, it still had a connotation
of a complaint. In his position, Lance was not interested in knowing what they were thinking about, but
it did not mean that he was unaware. This was why Lance had been reluctant to put a woman in his
secretariat. No one in the company, except Hans, knew that Yvette was Lance‘s wife. Yvette becoming
an assistant gave the others a sense of crisis.
