Chapter 27 (Part Two)

Nicole was sitting by the window, so Eric could easily see her working on the desk. Sometimes Eric felt
tired after working overtime at night. He rubbed his eyes and stretched himself. With a cup of coffee in
his hand, he walked to the French window to enjoy the night view. He just saw Nicole's figure on floor
35.

Sometimes Nicole concentrated on typing on the computer, sometimes she turned over the documents,
and sometimes she stood up and walked to the window with a pile of documents in her arms. Biting the
pen, she thought about something and quickly returned to the computer.

A woman was very cute when she was serious, not to mention a woman with a different personality
and temperament.

Nicole was just like a scenery, a way for Eric to relieve his boredom and entertain during that time.
When he was tired from his work, he liked to see what Nicole was doing by the window. He watched
her every move with interest like a peep. When he saw her working seriously, his tired nerves and
depressed mood suddenly calmed down.

And during that time, Eric also found an interesting thing. When this woman was tired after overtime,
Nicole turned on her mobile phone to play music and danced unscrupulously in the office. Sometimes it
was cha-cha, jazz, and sometimes modern dance.

It was hard to imagine that a serious woman would dance so crazily in the office. When Eric saw it for
the first time, he almost spit out the coffee. Although he didn't spit it, he choked on it and coughed.

It was not that Nicole was not good at dancing, but that the woman who could master several dance
style was a little good at dancing. It was just that her image was so different that Eric could not believe
it. Therefore, Eric became more interested in peeping. Every time he saw Nicole dancing, he could
always watch her for a long time, even for a night.



When Eric went to work in the daytime, he saw Nicole coiled her hair, wearing a conservative suit and
holding a folder passing by him. When she greeted him, he always laughed in his heart. 'What an
interesting woman she is!'

Therefore, it was not that Eric didn't know Nicole, but that he had always remembered this woman and
had observed her for a long time.

Eric hadn't seen Nicole for a long time when he first came back to the E Group from the E Venture
Capital Company. He was still very uncomfortable and always wondered what this woman was doing.
Eric worked overtime at night and looked at the empty office building. When he walked to the window,
he didn't see Nicole anymore. He was a little surprised to meet her when he made an appointment with
the AI Group team today. But he didn't expect that there was such a deep gap between her and
Lambert, and she had such a miserable background.

Perhaps Nicole should have been a simple and happy child, and because of her happy family before,
she had developed many lively hobbies. However, when she encountered such an encounter later, she
was silent, and no one took care of her when she was sick. She must have lived a hard life in the past
few years.

For some reason, looking at the lonely lamp in Nicole's house, a sense of pity rose in Eric's heart,
mixed with a sense of distress.

Eric lowered his head and left silently, but suddenly had a different plan in his heart.

The second morning, Nicole got up. Her fever was gone, but she had a serious cold. After taking the
medicine, she still went to work on time. Although Eric said that he would ask Miss Li to let her take a
day off, Nicole thought it was better not to ask for leave easily if there was nothing serious. After all,
there were too many work at the end of the year. She had to take a day off. How much overtime would



she take to make up for it? Nicole didn't want the whole company to wait for her end of year-end bonus,
nor did she want to make things difficult for Eric, so she couldn't rest at all.

On the subway, Nicole kept thinking, 'Why did Eric help me? Why did he care so much about me? Why
did he...? Why did he treat me specially?' However, Nicole couldn't figure it out. Her mind was in a
mess. She shook her head and didn't want to think about it.

'Maybe I was thinking wrong. Mr. Eric just cared about me out of concern for his subordinates. There
was no special reason. I couldn't expect or think too much!'

When Nicole arrived at the company, she found that her colleagues were very busy, especially in the
executive department. There were people shuttling between the meeting room and the department. It
seemed that there would be distinguished guests. Other departments also put aside their work. The
first thing they did at work was to clean up.

Nicole inquired and realized that after 10 o'clock, the senior executives of the E Group would arrive. As
the first guest to visit the company after cooperating with the AI Group, the E Group had a lot of people,
not only the leaders of the E Venture Capital Company, but also the senior executives of the E Group.
And the AI Group team also prepared in advance to welcome the guests with sincerity.

The two companies met, of course, there would be a big meeting to attend. The bottom staff dared not
to be careless.

When Nicole went back to her office, Miss. Li was supervising the cleaning work of her department.
When she saw Nicole, she was surprised. "Hi, Nicole Mr. Eric's secretary just informed me that you
were sick today and asked for leave temporarily. Why did you come to work so early?"

Nicole shook her head and smiled awkwardly. "Nothing serious. I come to work and I had felt better."



Miss Li looked Nicole up and down and suddenly asked, "Nicole, Mr. Eric's secretary... Why would he
ask for leave for you?"
