Chapter 28

Nicole didn't know how to answer the question of Miss Li. While other colleagues were tidying up their
desk and stationery, they also looked up at Nicole.

Nicole pretended to answer inadvertently, "On the way to the hospital yesterday, I happened to meet
Mr. Eric..." Nicole was not good at lying. She really couldn't find a suitable reason to explain how she
met Mr. Eric and then why Mr. Eric had to ask for leave for her when she met Mr. Eric.

Fortunately, before Nicole could finish her words, someone knocked on the door and said that the vice
president was looking for Miss Li. Miss Li had to leave her alone and went out with a smile.

When Nicole went back to her seat, her other colleagues didn't let her go. They all came over to ask
her why Mr. Eric asked for leave for her.

Just as Nicole was thinking about how to answer with embarrassment, Lambert's secretary came and
asked her to go to the general manager's office.

Nicole had to say goodbye to her colleagues and went to see her leader. Although it was a relief for
her, Nicole also doubted why Lambert looked for her. 'Now that the people from the E Group were
coming, why was he still trying to find me at this time? What's the matter?'

The two walked to the door of Lambert's office. After the secretary knocked on the door and asked for
permission to opened the door for Nicole

This was the first time that Nicole had been in the office of Lambert. The AI Group team had been here
for more than two months. Normally, Lambert would asked Miss Li to make trouble for her, he would
not easily ask her to the office. But it was the first time that he had summoned her like this.

The office had been completely transformed by Lambert. She had met Eric here during her first
interview. At that time, Eric liked warm and artistic things. There was an oil painting hanging on the



wall, and the floor was covered with warm floor. Beside the floor to ceiling window, there were two high
legged hanging orchids. Now, a medal plaque was hung on the wall by Lambert, and the floor was
replaced with a dark floor. The hanging orchids had also been replaced into a tacky wealth tree. In the
past, there was an Newton ornament on Eric's desk that Nicole liked very much. But now, it was
replaced by a photo. The woman in the photo was not someone else, but Primrose.

Nicole's eyes were stung by Primrose's innocent smile in the photo. She lowered her head and said in
a low voice, "Mr. Lambert, what can I do for you?"

Sitting behind the desk, Lambert had been looking at Nicole since Nicole came in. When he finally saw
that Nicole was dejected by Primrose's photo, Lambert smiled slightly.

"I heard from Miss. Li that Mr. Eric asked for leave for you? Why do you still go back to work?"

Nicole frowned slightly. She didn't expect that the news that Eric had asked for leave for her had spread
to Lambert so quickly. 'Is it a good thing for her to let Lambert know about it?'

Nicole pretended to be calm and said, "I'm fine now, so I came back to work. What can I do for you, Mr.
Lambert? "

Hearing her hoarse voice, Lambert raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you caught a cold? Have a
fever?"

Nicole felt that Lambert was persistent on this matter, and even if she changed the topic, he wouldn't
listen to her. It seemed that he had to ask her clearly, so she took the initiative to explain, "A little cold. I
happened to meet Mr. Eric yesterday, and he sent me to the hospital."

"The thing happened in the restaurant?" Lambert asked with a faint smile, his eyes fixed on Nicole.



Nicole was a little annoyed. She didn't want to talk about what had happened last night. She knew that
she was not as capable as him and couldn't do anything to Primrose who he had protected. So she had
to be humble and avoid his insult. But he was still so aggressive.

She kept silent as a power of resistance.

Lambert picked up the photo of Primrose on the table and touched it. Although he didn't look at Nicole,
he said with a playful expression, "Today, Eric is wearing a dark brown scarf. Judging from the color
and style, it's similar to the one you wore last time. Some coincidences are really interesting. I'm
curious why Eric sent you to the hospital. Are you on good terms?"

Nicole still kept silent.

Raising his head, Lambert looked at Nicole and said, "The E Venture Capital Company has changed its
owner. I don't want my employees to have any connection with the senior executives of the E Group,
especially you. If you don't want to be regarded as a case at the meeting again!"

Nicole raised her head and stared at this man. She still remembered the slander he had done to her
last time. Sometimes she really felt that he had gone too far, too far, for no reason. Everything he had
done was against her, and everything she had done was wrong.

Nicole said, "I didn't know which rules in the company I broke."

"I have the final say in my company. If you don't like here, you can resign. No one will keep you. You
don't have to think highly of yourself!" Lambert said coldly, as if he was the master of her life.

Nicole really hated Lambert, but she didn't want to leave after the slander he had done to her.

"When will you stop humiliating me, Mr. Lambert?" Nicole asked coldly.



Speaking of this, a sardonic smile suddenly appeared on Lambert's face, and his eyes became sharp.
Lambert said in a cold tone, "If it weren't for what happened last night, I might have stopped at a certain
time. But because of what happened last night, I found that you would never seem to get along well
with Primrose, so I don't intend to let you go. As long as you are alive, I will torture you endlessly,
making you feel that life is worse than death!"

Nicole's heart ached again. It wasn't because she was hurt by the one she loved, but because she felt
that the reality was terrifying. 'Why did I offend Lambert? Why did I meet such a demon who was
unknown in black and white and always held grudges?'

Nicole didn't want to explain to someone who couldn't figure it out. She clenched her fists and
whispered, "Mr. Lambert, anything else?"

Lambert smiled coldly again, "Miss Li has handed over the most important work at the end of the year
to you. I'll give you a reminder. If you can't do it well, I'll let you pay for your career! If you are sensible,
just get out of here. After all, if you resign because of your incompetence, it will have less impact on
your career development than messing up your whole job!"

Nicole clenched her fists, but she still kept silent.

Finally, Lambert let Nicole go.

Nicole walked out of Lambert's office and stayed at the door for a while. She was so depressed that
she didn't notice that Lambert's secretary was coming with two distinguished guests.

When the secretary walked in and talked to Nicole, Nicole raised her head and saw two people behind
the secretary, one of whom was Eric.

Nicole was a little surprised to meet Eric again. She didn't expect that she would meet him here, so she
fixed her eyes on Eric. She forgot what the secretary said and greeted them.



Eric also looked at her. Perhaps because of the presence of others, he didn't behave as close as last
night. Instead, he only looked at Nicole with a smile on his face.

Nicole then lowered her head and greeted.

Eric nodded, and the senior manager of the E Group next to Eric replied, "Good morning."

Nicole bowed his head and left. Noticing that something was bothering Nicole, Eric turned around and
asked, "Miss Lin, are you feeling better?"

Lambert's secretary and the senior executives of the E Group didn't expect that Mr. Eric would pay
special attention to a girl, so they all looked at them.

Eric's eyes were calm. He didn't care what other people thought. He still looked at Nicole blatantly,
waiting for her answer.

Nicole glanced at the two surprised outsiders and replied Eric in a low voice, "Much better. Thank you
for your concern, Mr. Eric."

Eric nodded and said, "Take care of yourself!"

"Yes, I know. Thank you, Mr. Eric!"

When Lambert heard that Eric was coming, he couldn't be neglected because Eric was on the same
level as him. As soon as Lambert walked out to welcome him, he happened to see that Eric was
concerned about Nicole. Lambert's face suddenly turned cold, and his originally enthusiastic mood
immediately disappeared.

However, Lambert was good at managing his expression. When he faced everyone again, he had
already changed into a calm face. He reached out his hand to shake hands with Eric and invited him



into the office.

When Eric and the others entered the office, before Lambert entered the office, he glanced at Nicole.
At that moment, his eyes suddenly became very cold, which was inconsistent with the expression on
his face. But in an instant, he entered the office as usual.

Nicole understood what Lambert meant. Nicole ignored him and turned around to go back to her office.
But she didn't expect that it was this morning that Lambert attacked her crazily again for no reason.

At 10 o'clock, the two companies were having a meeting, so there was nothing for the basic employees
to do. At first, Nicole was in a bad mood in the morning, but after she went to work, she forgot, let alone
the meeting.

At about 11:50, the employees could get off work 10 minutes earlier to have lunch. Nicole cleaned up
the desk and turned off the computer screen. When she was about to go out with her colleagues,
Lambert's secretary came to inform.

Lambert's secretaries was brought here by him from the AI Group. Lambert had two secretaries, one
male secretary, who was mainly responsible for accompanying him on a business trip or acting as his
work affairs, and the other female secretary, who was in charge of daily work and daily life. Generally
speaking, in the E Venture Capital Company, Lambert took a female secretary with him. Miss Yang, the
female secretary, had been working for Lambert for many years. She was capable and calm at work,
and seldom showed her emotions on her face. But this time she came to inform Nicole, and it was
obvious that her face was a little abnormal. She was a little flustered and restless, as if she had just
experienced something in the meeting room.

At lunch time, the secretary of Lambert suddenly came to Nicole. Nicole couldn't have lunch on time.
She had to say goodbye to her colleagues and follow Miss Yang to the meeting room.



Nicole was confused. She had an intuition that Miss Yang had something hidden in her heart, but she
didn't dare to ask because she was not familiar with Miss Yang.

In the meeting room, the moment Miss Yang opened the door, Nicole walked in and saw a circle of
round tables, and even a group of people behind the round tables, which were all office managers in
black suits and leather shoes.

There was no smile on everyone's face. Some of them looked terrible, and some of them were
depressed. No one spoke. The meeting room was completely silent, and the atmosphere was very
strange.
