Chapter 1867: Make Me Look Bad

In less than half a month, almost everyone got the news that Nicole had recovered and would soon
return to the office.

Kai also gradually handed over the work in his hands back to Grant and Nicole. He was really relieved.

The day Kai left Stanton Corporation, he wanted to jump up in joy and celebrate his freedom.

Nicole chose one of the days to go to the office to organize some materials. She went early in the
morning and attended three or four meetings back to back.

Originally, Nicole just wanted to sit in for a while and leave, but she could not get away. She was
career-minded again.

Previously, she was mentally stuck in her teens and only knew how to have fun. Thus, now that she
regained her memory, she knew her priorities,

It was already evening by the time she got off work.

Unconsciously, it felt like the old days again.

Clayton called her a few times. He went to the office for a while and went home to spend time with
Chatty since she was especially clingy to Clayton. She could not be separated from her father for a
moment.

Seeing that it was almost time, Nicole took her things and walked out.

Logan stood outside and was about to go i n to notify Nicole but suddenly stopped.

Nicole froze for a moment.

“What’s wrong?



Logan pursed his lips and said, “Gerard Lichman of J&L Corporation is here. He said that he came to
talk to you about next quarter’s contract…”

Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows slightly.

Why did Gerard come over at this time?

Besides, there was not even one bit of news from him before.

“Tell him to make an appointment. Or, he can talk to Grant.”

Nicole looked at the time and did not want to delay her schedule.

She had a dinner appointment with Yvette. If she took too long, Yvette would get annoyed.

Logan was just about to open his mouth when a man walked out from the opposite conference room.
He was tall with nice features. The silver-framed glasses that h e was wearing reflected a cold glint,
and his pressed suit made him look like a calm gentleman

It was Gerard Lichman. He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled as he walked over.

“Ms. Stanton, it’s been a while. Why are you making me look bad? We’re old acquaintances, to say the
least, but it’s so difficult to even see you.”

Nicole narrowed her eyes and glanced at Logan. She curled her lips and spoke lightly.

“Mr. Lichman, if you’d made an appointment in advance, I’d naturally have to set aside some time for
you. But unfortunately, I already have an appointment tonight, so I can’t entertain you.”

Gerard came unannounced. Moreover, they still needed to observe the situation for the current
cooperation between



Stanton Corporation and J&L Corporation. Thus, Nicole would not be so eager to please him.

Gerard laughed in a low voice. He had a casual attitude and did not take Nicole’s coldness to heart.

“It’s my fault for coming without an appointment, but I purposely came heret o visit you, Ms. Stanton.
Since you’re back in charge of Stanton Corporation, there are greater expectations for our cooperation.
I also hope that we can work together as we did before.”

Nicole lowered her eyes, paused, and nodded with a smile.

“Mr. Lichman, you think too much. Our companies can cooperate for mutual benefit because we trust
each other. We at Stanton Corporation are certainly happyt o see this.”

Gerard smiled. “I’m assured now that un matu Lont disturhuurdato I’ve met you, so I won’t disturb your
date. Why don’t I walk you downstairs Ms. Stanton?”

Nicole looked at him quietly for a moment.

Initially, she had a good impression of J&L Corporation because of its innovation ability and market
positioning. In a very short time, they also managed to occupy a good standing in the industry.

The previous cooperation also achieved unexpectedly good results.

However, the only drawback was that J&L Corporation was backed by Ferguson Corporation’s power.

Ferguson Corporation provided Gerard with a great platform and opportunities, but also to a certain
extent, it also cut off a lot of his opportunities.
