Chapter 418 Preferred Ladies


    Nicole looked at Eric indifferently and said, "yton said that he found a clue about the car ident.


    I’m meeting him at a reception and will be backter.”


    Eric''splexion became solemn and cold. He pursed his lips. "Be careful then."


    Nicole nodded and went downstairs.


    Luca followed her.


    Toto hurriedly caught up to them.


    "I’ll go too! Ms. Stanton, take me with you. I''ll protect you!"


    Nicole was very reluctant to speak because she felt that her words might hurt his pride.


    Luca rolled his eyes and said, "Ms. Stanton is safe with me.”


    "Luca, you’re an obvious bodyguard, but I can protect M s. Stanton covertly! That way, it''ll be safer."


    Toto looked at Eric expectantly. ''Hurry! Say something for yourself!''


    Eric pursed his lips. "Take him with you then. If anything happens, you don’t need to care about his


    survival.”


    Toto was speechless.


    Nicole raised an eyebrow. "Whatever..."


    When they arrived at the venue of the reception, Luca got out and opened the door for her. As soon as


    Nicole got down from the car, she saw yton Sloan standing at the door.


    yton looked like a noble and mysterious man as he stood there with such a steady and indifferent


    temperament.


    He walked up to Nicole and nodded with a light expression. "Don''t worry, there are no strangers


    around."


    The implication was that there would not be any sudden attacks.


    Nicole smiled and felt relieved.


    The two of them stood at the doorway and walked in one after the other. Lucagged a few steps


    behind to distance himself from them.


    Behind him, Toto came up and whispered, "Who''s that big boss?"


    "I don''t know." Luca nced at him, not wanting to talk.


    Toto was persistent. "Is he trying to woo Ms. Stanton?! You have to follow closer. How can you leave


    them alone?"


    That man was extremely good-looking with such an extraordinary and noble temperament. Toto could


    tell at a nce that he was no ordinary man because that man''s aura wasparable to Eric. Toto


    instantly had a sense of crisis!


    Luca was expressionless and ignored Toto.


    Toto pped his thigh and looked at the useless Luca.'' I can only rely on myself!''


    At that thought, Toto walked in with a straight face.


    Nicole and yton went in and saw some familiar faces. Others were new faces.


    The atmosphere of the banquet hall was pleasant with nice music from a live band. Men and women


    were dancing gracefully while others were mingling. It was a nice environment towork indeed!


    "Turns out Mr. Sloan''s femalepanion is Ms.


    Stanton! It seems that their cooperation is pretty solid H


    "Don''t even think about it. If Mr. Sloan could give up Ferguson Corporation and choose Stanton


    Corporation, we don''t have any more hope.”


    "Oh? Is there something going on between Mr. Sloan and Ms. Stanton?"


    "Shhh! Do you have a death wish?"


    Those whispers drifted into Nicole''s ears, which she ignored with a smile.


    Perhaps they would never know the real reason behind their cooperation.


    Nicole and yton were also not interested in exining themselves to everyone.


    She looked at yton with a puzzled look. yton swept an indifferent nce at the gossiping people,


    which made them zip their mouths in an instant.


    yton bent his arm like a gentleman. Without a word, Nicole gently took it and shed an impable


    smile.


    Their intimate gesture would only convince others of their solid and smooth cooperation.


    Soon, three familiar people came over with their wine sses for a toast. Nicole recognized that they

    were the three people who yton invited to the private dinner at the hotel that day.


    Theodore Shaw from Shaw Company, Paul Newton from Newton & Co, and Hayden Zink from P&K


    Corporation.


    Since the project had already been finalized, they need not walk around eggshells with yton. They


    only needed to maintain basic courtesy.


    Theodore Shaw was holding a cigar and looked more casual. He smiled and looked at Nicole


    meaningfully.


    "Mr. Sloan, had I known that you preferreddies, I''d have gotten my sister to go to the private dinner


    that day. Although my sister isn''t as beautiful and elegant a s Ms. Stanton, she''s not too bad..."


    yton replied, "In that case, it''s fortunate that you


    didn''t bring her."


    Theodore was rendered speechless.
