Chapter 137


    The annual fashion show took ce tonight. Many celebrities gathered on the red carpet. And as usual,


    the high-caliber celebrities wore stunning gowns and wless makeup. They scrambled to the


    ceremony, being photographed by a slew of media reporters.


    Nicole’s agent, Esteban Foley, was at the backstage, looking very anxious.


    “Nicole, why are you still standing around? Maurice’s men haven’t arrived yet. Will they stand us up?”


    He looked at Nicole, who was sitting in front of the mirror, with disappointment. She was wearing a


    lacey ck off-the-shoulder evening gown, a pair of high heels and a pricey Van Boshy ne. At


    this moment, she was just casually browsing through social media.


    Nicole raised her head and cast her agent an unconcerned nce. “Rx, Esteban. Maurice, as far as


    I know, is a man of honor.”


    She then continued to browse social media, likingments thatplimented her beauty with


    another ount.


    Esteban was forced to change the subject. “I heard from the members of the Moran Group that the


    exposure of the design draft had been thoroughly investigated. Eliana was clearly innocent. You can


    apologize, and the matter will be over.”


    She really didn’t do it?


    “I always keep my word. It’s just a p. So I’ll ask her to p me back,” Nicole said, raising her


    eyebrows.


    “Nicole, do you not value your dignity?” Esteban was annoyed.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    “I don’t care about that. I only care about the truth and keeping my words. I must keep my promise


    because I was wrong and made one.”


    Nicole was very calm, and Esteban knew that no one could change her mind.


    What could he possibly do? Nothing, but to just support her.


    “I have spoiled you too much,” Estebanmented, shaking his head helplessly.


    His phone rang at that moment, and Maurice’s men arrived.


    “Great! They are finally here!” Esteban turned to face Nicole. “I’m going to wee them. Please stay


    here. Do you hear me?”


    “Go ahead.” Nicole waved her hand without looking up.


    Cheryl, an uninvited guest, entered Nicole’s greenroom after Esteban had left.


    “Hey, Nicole, why are you here all by yourself? I heard you wanted to walk the red carpet with Mr.


    Moran, but hepletely ignored you. Without him, you might have to walk the red carpet alone this


    time.”


    Cheryl only came to mock Nicole for failing to invite Maurice.


    Nicole remained calm and just smiled, but her eyes were filled with contempt for the person in front of


    her.


    “Where does such a vexing persone from? You seem to be adept at making fun of other people’s


    misery. You are not popr, and you have no notable film or television work. You may even have to


    rely on others to attract the audience’s attention. What a pity!”


    It was a very sore point with Cheryl.


    “Nicole, don’t be too haughty. You won’t erase the fact that you’ll be walking the red carpet alone this


    time.” Cheryl could not be outdone.


    “So, who are you going to walk the red carpet with? Your sugar daddy? Ah! I apologize. I forgot that he


    is too old to walk for a long time.”


    “You! Let’s see what will happen!”


    Cheryl was so enraged that she was almost out of breath. Finally, she stormed out.


    Nicole chuckled.


    The stupid Cheryl was no match for her.


    “You are so articte, Miss Swift.”


    All of a sudden, she saw someone she would never want to see again in her life. Her smile immediately


    faded.


    “Wyatt…”


    Nicole looked at the handsome man in front of her with aplicated expression on her face.


    “Long time no see. It appears that your life has be better since you abandoned me.”


    Wyatt’s eyes were mocking as he looked up and down at Nicole. It didn’t look like a reunion of two old


    friends, but of two enemies.


    They both hadplicated expressions on their faces as they looked into each other’s eyes.


    “I’m not going to walk the red carpet tonight,” Nicole suddenly said.


    “Nicole, what are you going to do this time?”


    Esteban’s tone was very serious. He then turned around and pleaded with Wyatt, “Mr. Todd, don’t listen


    to her nonsense. She is just a little shy…”


    “It’s not a big deal. I’m willing to be her partner if she’s also willing to give me a chance.”


    Nicole was well aware that he was threatening her.


    “Nicole, hurry up. The program is about to start. Don’t bete.”


    Nicole had no choice. In the end, Esteban urged them to walk the red carpet.


    In the spotlight, Wyatt, with his handsome face and elegant demeanor, made all the other men present


    pale inparison. The spotlight followed him everywhere he went, and Nicole was no exception.


    Witnessing it, Cheryl clenched her teeth in rage.


    Damn it! Nicole had be the center of attention.


    Cheryl would keep this in mind. She would find a way to get even with Nicole.
