Chapter 9 (Part One)

When Lambert led his team and arrived at the gate of the building, the manager of the executive
department immediately greeted them with a smile, bowed and shook hands. The executive clerk who
was so absorbed in looking at the handsome man that she almost forgot her duty followed to greet.
Nicole knew that she couldn't escape. Instead of making any other reaction at this time, she'd better
force herself to calm down and pretend that she didn't know him.

Lambert still saw her, but as expected, he was not surprised or looked at her with new impression. He
just glanced at her with a meaningful look.

Fortunately, Nicole didn't have to shake hands with Lambert. All she needed to do was to lead the way
and become a quiet beauty. When the group of people were taken to the elevator, she was secretly
relieved. When they went upstairs, the senior executives of the companies received them and visited
the company. Then the leaders of the two companies went to the meeting room.

At this time, Nicole didn't need to serve them with tea or water. She returned to her position. The
female colleagues in the office were all very gossipy. They kept asking her questions, all about the
executives of the AI Group, how many people were there, and whether there was a row of famous cars
downstairs. It turned out that they had seen some upstairs. In addition, when the group members of the
AI Group came up, although they stayed in the office and at least saw a little, they were more curious.

Nicole was not interested in answering, but only responded vaguely. In fact, she was just a substitute
hostess and didn't have much contact with the team.

When Nicole got off work, she still didn't see anyone come out of the meeting room. She habitually
looked at the general manager's office, where the door was closed. And from now on, she was afraid
that the name of Eric would be changed to someone else, which made her more and more
disappointed.



Nicole ordered a cup of coffee and dessert in the coffee shop near the company, which were served as
her dinner. She was worried about the future and was in a bad mood, so she ate very slowly. When the
lights were on, there was many couples on the street. She looked at the couples and lost in thought. It
was not until a familiar car parked in the parking lot outside the cafe that her eyes were attracted.

It was Eric who got out of the car. Now he took off his suit and changed into a long windbreaker,
coupled with a plaid scarf. He dressed more casual, young and handsome than before. He ordered a
cup of hot coffee and dessert in the coffee shop and packed them up before leaving. However, at the
door, he was bumped into by two kids who were laughing and joking along the street. The coffee spilled
all over the ground and stained his sleeves.

With an empty cup in one hand and a dessert in the other, Eric was hesitating. At this moment, Nicole
stood up and was about to go out to give him a tissue to clean up, but suddenly Nicole saw a beautiful
woman get out of his car, quickly take out a handkerchief to help him to wipe, frowned and scolded.

The beautiful woman was wearing a hat with long curly hair. Even if she only showed her side face, it
could be seen that she was very beautiful. It seemed that Eric had a good relationship with her. Being
scolded by her, Eric just smiled helplessly. Then he let the beautiful woman hold his hand and happily
got in the car and left.

Nicole stood by the glass window, rubbing a piece of tissue in her hand. Suddenly, she felt that what
she had done was unnecessary. Eric probably didn't know that there was a person like her. Two years
ago, when she just came back to the A City, her suitcase was turned down from the elevator in the
airport, and he helped her to hold it in time, and then he sent her to take a taxi. She once lost her way
at the corner of the street, he gave her directions. When they met in the cafe, a smile was shown on
the face and they nodded like a passers-by; when she was applying for a job, he had interviewed her,
but he didn't remember that they had met each other many times.



But he didn't know that from the first meeting at the airport he enthusiastically helped her, she
remembered him deeply. Every time after that, it was like fate, as if it was destined. A quick glance at
him or a passing-by him deepened her impression of him, so that it formed a hazy feeling.

The fate between people was very mysterious, and the feelings between people were so unpredictable.
Sometimes, the two of them who lived together might not have feelings for each other for the rest of
their lives, but sometimes they just looked at each other and fell in love with each other secretly with a
single move.

She was lucky enough to work in the E Venture Capital Company, because this job gave her the
chance to know him. He didn't let her down. The more she knew about him, the more she appreciated
his character, and she missed him very much. However, the more she knew about him, the more she
knew he was just like a dream. She was far from him, and there were too many impossible things
between them. Even if she loved him, she could only treat it as a secret love, and hide it in the most
beautiful time in her life.

On the second day, when Nicole went to work, she knew that Eric had already returned to the
headquarters of the E Group. After all, the CEO of the E Group was his real identity, and the position of
general manager of the E Venture Capital Company was only a part-time job for him. Now that the AI
Group had been purchased it with 70% shares, he didn't need to stay in the E Venture Capital
Company in the future.

The secretary had already sorted out his documents. When everything was ready, there was no more
Eric's things here. He probably wouldn't come back again.

Because of the change in the company, the atmosphere in the office was very low, and the people of
the AI Group would come tomorrow. So far, they still didn't know who the new general manager was. 'Is
he a long haired foreigner, a Chinese man with a square face, or a powerful woman?'



Nicole was very nervous, but she also dutifully passed this day. Nicole firmly believed that even if it was
Lambert's company, as long as she actively worked without any mistakes, Lambert would not be able
to do anything to her.
