Chapter 657 Newly Promoted Budding Young Actor


    Nearing the New Year.


    Nicole handed over thepany''s affairs to others and engaged in more social activities.


    They arranged some unimportant events in the days before the New Year since everyone would be


    busy after the New Year.


    Grant was dealing with their overseas business while Nicole handled the domestic affairs.


    Floyd brought Kai and Lil Michael to do some New Year shopping. The superstar was often


    photographed going in and out of major supermarkets around the city.


    Maverick also had some time off from his research institute, but he was never in the mood to celebrate


    the New Year. Floyd had to call Maverick several times to make sure that he would be home for the


    New Year.


    Finally, it was New Year''s Eve.


    Nicole gave everyone a holiday and was thest one to leave the office.


    As soon as she went downstairs, she saw yton standing at the door.


    After a long time of not seeing him, yton was still s o gentle and modest, which gave off a very


    However, there seemed to be an imperceptible gloom i n his eyes.


    Upon closer look, Nicole felt like she was mistaken.


    yton smiled. "I wanna pick up Lil Michael, but my car was driven away by the driver. Do you mind


    giving me a ride?"


    Nicole raised her eyebrows. Of course, she did not mind.


    In the car.

    Nicole drove them. yton received a phone call and looked a little impatient.


    "Now? Alright then."


    After yton got off the phone, he looked at her.


    Nicole asked, "What’s so urgent?"


    "There''s a private auction with a collection that I''ve been eyeing for a long time..."


    Nicole chuckled. "It''s still early, so let''s go over and take a look."


    Generally, such private auctions were not open to the public. The timing was also very random and


    depended on the mood of the host.


    The items sold were mostly collectors'' items, which were put up for auction for some reason and were


    very


    rare.


    yton looked at her gratefully. "Ms. Stanton, you’re s o beautiful inside and out. I wish you all the best


    for the new year!"


    Nicoleughed. "I''d rather you wish that I’d soon be the richest person in the world!"


    yton paused for a moment andughed.


    What a realistic wish!


    They arrived at the auction venue, which was a private clubhouse.


    yton showed his identification, and the two of them went straight in.


    There were not many people, but there were quite a few people inside that were familiar faces to


    Nicole.


    When the acquaintances came over to exchange pleasantries, Nicole politely greeted them.


    Nicole swept a nce and was stunned to see an unexpected person.


    Old Master Ferguson!


    The old man was surrounded by people. He was the center of attention because of his high status and


    undiminished power.


    So many people went over to greet Old Master Ferguson that they could form a human wall.


    Old Master Ferguson also saw Nicole. His sharp eyes narrowed as he appeared in front of Nicole.


    He looked at yton, who was next to Nicole, with obvious displeasure on his face, but he quickly


    covered it up.


    "Nicole, what a coincidence to see you here at this auction. This gentleman looks familiar. Is he another


    budding young actor that you''re promoting in the entertainment industry?”


    There was sarcasm in his words.


    ytonughed and was not the slightest bit angry. H e was courteous.


    "Sir, my name is yton Sloan, and I''m not from the entertainment industry."


    Nicole''s face was unpleasant because she knew that Old Master Ferguson was deliberately giving


    them a hard time.


    She nodded detachedly and took yton''s arm to leave.


    Old Master Ferguson''s face was clearly unhappy.


    "Nicole, I haven''t seen your father in a long time. Say hello to him for me. I''ll visit the Stanton Mansion


    after the New Year.”


    ording to the Medianian culture, people who had dealings with each other were bound to visit each


    other for the New Year.


    In the past, the Stantons and Fergusons had no


    rtionship, but this year was different.


    They were in a cooperative rtionship.


    Nicole held back the difort in her heart and forced a smile. "Chairman Ferguson, you''re most


    wee to visit us.”


    Old Master Ferguson said, "If you see an item that you like, don’t be polite and consider it a New Year''s


    gift from me, your elder."


    He really held on to the look of an elder, but Nicole really did not care for it.


    She hooked her lips. "No need. The partnership between our families has always been a bnce of


    interests, so how can I take advantage of the Ferguson family?”
