Chapter 32 (Part Two)

After the meeting room returned to silence, Nicole was released from the meeting room. It was almost
1 o'clock at that time. She went to the canteen to have lunch, but there was no food left. After what had
happened in the morning, Nicole had no appetite and ate something hastily before returning to her
office.

Not long after Nicole went to work, the meeting was over. When Miss. Li returned to her office, she
heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Nicole was looking at her, Miss. Li stopped and said to Nicole,
"Nicole, come to my office."

Nicole guessed that she might know what Miss. Li was talking about. Nicole took her notebook and
waited for Miss. Li in the office of Miss. Li.

Miss. Li put the documents back on the desk, looked at Nicole for a long time before sitting down and
said, "Have you heard what Mr. Eric said in the meeting room? Tomorrow someone will come from the
human resources department of the E Group. Work hard. It must get a result at the end of this month!"

Nicole took notes and nodded, "I understand."

Miss. Li stared at Nicole coldly, with anger, reproach and helplessness in her eyes. Miss. Li said, "I
really don't know if it's right or wrong to choose you. There seem to have a grudge between you and
Mr. Lambert. Mr. Lambert always suppresses you and implicates me together, but you seem to have
something to do with Mr. Eric. It's obvious that Mr. Eric is helping you at the meeting today. If it weren't
for him, we wouldn't have been able to get through this meeting. You should thank Mr. Eric! "

With a notebook in her hand, Nicole stared at the book in silence.

"I respect your privacy and didn't ask you about your relationship with Mr. Lambert and Mr. Eric. But
now, your every move has affected me, so I have to ask you about it carefully. And as your leader, I



have the right to ask my subordinates when I see you affect the work because of your personal
feelings."

Seeing that Nicole didn't say anything, Miss. Li continued, "I hope you can tell me the truth!"

Nicole raised her head and glanced at Miss. Li. She knew that Miss. Li was blaming her, but she
wouldn't tell anyone about her private affairs with Lambert. She didn't want others to know about her
life experience, even it was her leader.

"Mr. Eric and I... There is no relationship between us." Nicole said lightly, avoiding the point.

"Then why did Mr. Eric's secretary ask for leave for you?" Miss. Li questioned.

Nicole couldn't figure it out. 'Why did Eric ask for leave for me? Maybe Eric approached me because he
wanted to balance Lambert and ask for leave for me by the way. That's why Eric helped me in the
meeting this morning.'

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the office of Miss. Li. Miss. Li asked someone to come in.
The person who came in was a boy in charge of recruitment. However, there were two people behind
the boy, who were Mr. Wang from the sales department and Mr. Zhou from the project department.
These two people were the leaders who often made the Miss. Li embarrassed in the meeting.

Miss. Li was surprised. The two men didn't look well, and there must be something bad coming to her
at the same time. Miss. Li had no time to care about Nicole, so she had to let Nicole go out first.

Nicole returned to her desk and took a look at the office of Miss. Li. Unfortunately, Miss. Li closed the
shutters and Nicole couldn't see them inside, so Nicole had to go to the tea room to get some water.

The tea room of the company was next to the meeting room. It was out of Nicole's expectation that
someone else would come out of the meeting room. The secretary of Lambert opened the door and



made a gesture of invitation. Lambert and Eric were talking and walking out, followed by many leaders
of the two companies.

Nicole didn't know what the two of them were talking about. All of a sudden, they all laughed, and the
atmosphere seemed to be quite lively.

Lambert looked at his watch and said apologetically, "It's almost 2 o'clock now. This meeting has
delayed your lunch time. I've asked Miss Yang to book a table outside. How about this? Let's have
lunch outside first and Mr. Eric will go back later?"

Without any hesitation, Eric nodded and said, "Okay. In fact, I want to talk to Mr. Lambert about some
details."

Lambert asked the leader of the AI Group to lead Eric and the others downstairs first. Lambert went out
after dealing with some emergencies with secretary Yang in his office.

Nicole secretly looked at Eric in silence. She had thought that Eric wouldn't notice her in the tea room,
but when Eric turned his head, his eyes met hers.

Nicole felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head. If Nicole wanted to go back to her office, she had
to go through the meeting room. However, there were very senior leaders standing outside the meeting
room. She was too embarrassed to go over, so she stayed there all the time.

Nicole waited for a while and looked up, only to find that Eric was still looking at her and nodding to her
with a smile.

Nicole had no choice but to nod at Eric with a shy and embarrassed smile.

Nicole didn't think she could stay in the tea room all the time. Knowing that she was here, Eric looked
at her from time to time, wondering why she hadn't left. Feeling embarrassed, Nicole braced herself



and went out.

Nicole tried her best to lean against the wall when she passed through the leadership. If she found
someone was looking at her, she would nod and bow to him. She had just let out a sigh of relief when
the group of people left and walked towards the elevator.
