Chapter 49 Throw It Away
Nicole''s rm clock rang, waking her up from her beauty sleep.
Nicole had requested to go back to her apartmentst night. She felt a lot morefortable without
waking up to so many maids.
She looked at her phone and saw that the photos fromst night''s party had pushed her and Eric to
fame once again.
[Rich ex-couple suspected to be back together?]
It was attached with a picture of Eric and Nicole''s kiss at the end of the dance. It was an ingenious
shot. Even the lighting and background looked very artistic.
Nicole sneered and did not pay attention to it. She closed the article and opened her email.
Logan had already sent Nicole''s schedule to her early i n the morning. Nicole washed up and listened
to some finance news.
Last night’s trouble had all been forgotten after a good sleep and she would not let Eric Ferguson affect
her mood again.
Yvette kept bombarding Nicole with calls because she had just seen the picture online. She wanted to
confirm the truth of the matter because the picture did not look photoshopped.
Nicole picked up and helplessly exined what happened. Yvette then breathed a sigh of relief and
started to badmouth the Fergusons, then suddenly said, "Hey, look! The article''s been taken down!"
After checking, Nicole saw that it was gone.
Nicole would not waste her money on this, so who could it be?
Eric Ferguson?
Yvetteughed loudly on the other side of the phone." Look at our group chat! Ian spent money to take
it down!''
Nicole clicked into their group chat and saw a ton of messages.
[Ian Carter: $1 million PR fees! The audacity!]
[Yvette Quimbey: Carter, didn''t you go to the partyst night? Why isn''t there a single shot of you?]
[Julie Nixon: If there''s a shot of him, I wonder who''ll pay to take it down...]
[Yvette Quimbey: Hahahahaha!]
[Ian Carter: Meanies!]
Nicoleughed helplessly and sent a message.
[Nicole Stanton: Next time, please transfer the money t o me directly, then I''lle out to make a
statement.] [Ian Carter: *cries in despair* *vomits blood*]
Nicole put away her phone and was a lot happier.
At about 7:00 am, Logan drove over to pick Nicole up and brought breakfast for her. "I bought this on
the way. I don''t know if it’s to your liking...”
Nicole was not that picky and took it. "Thanks. Let''s g o."

"There''s a meeting at 8:00 am. President Stanton said that you''re fully in charge of J&L’s matters and
that he won''t ask questions.”
Nicole knew that Grant was delegating it to her as part of her training, so she nodded and said, "Have
you contacted J&L? We have to do our inspection in advance.”
"I heard that Ferguson Corporation is doing their inspection next week, so I made an appointment for
tomorrow morning.”
"Good job.”
Nicole looked down at the documents. She did not want to meet with people from Ferguson
Corporation. Although Eric might not be personally involved in this project, she still did not want to take
the risk.
They talked on the way to the office about work matters. Nicole was relieved that Grant was willing to
give her someone as capable as Logan.
As soon as they arrived at the office, the receptionist came over holding a huge bouquet and looked at
her with a smile. "Vice President Nicole, someone sent you flowers."
Nicole frowned slightly and nced at the card on it.
[Dearest Nicole,
I''ll love you for ten thousand years <3
Yours truly,
Ian Carter]
Nicole did an eye-flip in her heart and said to the receptionist, "Throw it away for me, thanks."
After taking two steps, Nicole stopped in her tracks and looked back. "If there are any more flower
deliveries in the future, just reject them."
She did not want to give Ian the slightest hope and wanted to nip his little spark in the bud.
"Yes, ma''am.” The receptionist looked regretful. ''These flowers are so pretty...but they''re about to be
thrown into the trash can...''
The meeting began on time at 8:00 am.
When Nicole went into the conference room, everyone had already arrived. Nicole sat on the main seat
and looked at the people in the room. "Our cooperation with J&L Corporation has already begun. Now,
we''ll need to form a project team to follow up with the tasks. Logan will send you all a listter."
Everyone knew that this cooperation with J&L Corporation was in a brand new field. Getting involved in
this project would likely catapult them to sess, so everyone was very eager.
After the meeting, Samantha Lindt came to Nicole.
"Vice President Nicole, why am I not on the list?"
''How can I miss such a good opportunity to reap benefits in this important core project?''
Nicole looked up from her desk and raised her eyebrows. "If every employee who wasn''t on the list
came to ask me this question, thousands of people woulde knocking on my door. How do you
think I should answer?"
