Chapter 34 Treated You Like a Sister


    Nicole sneered and did not look at Eric Ferguson again. She took her phone and purse, then stomped


    away in her high heels. Her back was slim and valiant.


    Ian raised his eyebrows and immediately followed after Nicole.


    Eric stood frozen in ce. His gaze was as cold as frost. Nicole''s words felt like a thorn in his heart that


    made him ufortable.


    ''Being a lowly servant to my family? When did the titr Mrs. Ferguson be a servant?’


    It seemed that there were too many things that Eric was not aware of.


    As soon as Nicole walked out, she saw a red-faced Samantha Lindt tugging on Flint Zeller at the


    entrance.


    ''So, she already knew and was prepared for it... Then was my move earlier superfluous? Tsk, tsk...’


    Nicole thought.


    Nicole got into the car and left. When she heard Eric’s misunderstanding earlier, she felt hurt because


    he did not know what kind of person she was after three years of marriage.


    After a moment, Nicole regainedposure and did not show any mood fluctuations.


    She promised not to look back and repeat the same mistakes twice. Eric Ferguson had nothing to do


    with her.


    Ian hummed a tune and nced at Nicole. "I saved you today, so how would you like to thank me?"


    "What kind of gift do you want? Or do you just want m e to transfer money into your ount?"


    Ian looked at her with a smile. "This is the first time a woman tries to p me with money, but I''d prefer


    if you pledge yourself to me!”


    Nicole gave him a sidelong nce. "Dream on!"


    "Why? You should give me a chance!" Ian grunted.


    Nicole gave him a faint nce. "I’ve always treated you like a sister." 1


    Ian''s lips twitched. "Anyway, I''ll prove that I''m the most suitable person for you."


    Not knowing where his confidence came from, Nicole could not help butugh. "Suit yourself."


    After all, Second Young Master Carter''s enthusiasm usually would notst a month.


    Ian looked at her smile and felt a pain in his chest. He would not give up this opportunity to anyone else


    again.


    After Nicole got back home, Yvette excitedly called her to ask about the progress.


    Nicole told her what happened. She paused slightly when she mentioned Eric Ferguson and lightly


    brushed over it.


    "This Samantha Lindt is like a pimp at those nightclubs. I think her talent''s wasted in thepany. She


    should really just be a pimp instead."


    Nicole lowered her head andughed. "I can''t just close this case sloppily. Now isn’t the time to fire her


    yet. Samantha is capable, she just doesn''t have the right mindset. She''s just a clown anyway. It won''t


    do m e any harm to keep her around as long as she doesn''t make trouble."


    The next day.


    Early in the morning, Nicole went to the office and found that her chair was reced with a new one.


    She was satisfied with Logan''s efficiency and brewed herself a cup of coffee when her door was

    mmed open.


    "Nicole, are you deliberately trying to mess things up? I clearly asked you to apany Mr. Zeller to


    dinner, but you left me behind?"


    Samantha barged in furiously. She still had some ambiguous marks on her neck that she could not


    hide. Flint Zeller''s entricity was indeed horrifying.


    Afterward, Samantha thought about it and knew that Nicole must have backed out. Otherwise, why


    would Flint Zeller not take a bite of the cake that was at his mouth?


    Nicole waved her hand, signaling for Logan to leave, then hooked her lips into a seeming smile as she


    looked at Samantha.


    Samantha suddenly felt guilty and no longer looked so fierce.


    "Forget it. This will all be over once you sign the contract."


    Samantha brought the contract over and threw it in front of Nicole.


    Nicole did not even raise her head, took out her phone, and tapped on it a few times to y a recording


    of yesterday''s dinner conversation.


    "Nicole, what’s the point of you only relying on Grant Stanton? You''d be better off getting a few more


    backers. Think about it, Grant clearly wants to do you harm because he just left you in this position


    without even guiding you. He probably won''t marry you either


    H


    "Look at the clothes you’re wearing. They don''t even have a brand. Did you buy them off those online


    catalogs? How do you get to and from work? A taxi?"


    "To be honest, I''ve been in your shoes. You won''t lose out if you follow Mr. Zeller. He prepared a


    secondhand Audi for you. With Mr. Zeller''s help on the project, you''ll be able to sit firmly in your


    position..."
