Chapter 080"Miss..." Landon's assistant warned Kendra, stepping in to prevent her from getting closer to her boss. "You just spilled alcohol on my boss' suit! Do you even realize how much that costs?""I'm really sorry..." Kendra said again, her expression apologetic, but inside, she was fuming because this arrogant assistant was blocking her way to Landon. "I’ll make up for the harm I’ve caused," she added, setting her glass down on the counter and pulling out her phone. "Could I get Mr. Graham's contact info so we can sort this out privately?"This was her opportunity to connect with the wealthy man, but the assistant stubbornly shook her head. "No. You need to pay him right now. You should transfer a hundred thousand dollars to Mr. Graham's account immediately!" the assistant coldly refused Kendra.Kendra's jaw dropped in shock. How was she supposed to come up with a hundred thousand dollars on the spot? She was there to find a rich guy to fund her, not to pay for the mess she had
Chapter 079NicoleAs he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and guided me back to our table, I couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He usually didn't show this kind of affection in front of others. Andrew also stood up and reached out to Nathan for a handshake."Mr. Monroe," he greeted with a friendly smile, and Nathan nodded back before shaking Andrew's hand. "I apologize for inviting your wife for coffee. I just wanted to say goodbye before I leave Maxwell Group.""You're leaving?" Nathan's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Why? Aren't you happy with the salary at Maxwell Group?"I felt my cheeks heat up at Nathan's tone with Andrew. His voice had risen slightly, drawing the attention of the couple at the next table."Sir Andrew is leaving the company to study abroad." I gently removed Nathan's arm from my shoulders and guided him to the empty chair beside me. "And did you know his family owns AK State Group?"Andrew beamed with pride as he settled back into his seat across from me."Re
Chapter 078NathanNicole let out a soft gasp as I started showering kisses around her breasts. Her fingers tangled in my hair while she pressed against my mouth, seeking that sweet release."They're absolutely beautiful," I murmured, my hands slipping beneath her curves to lift them gently as I began to massage them slowly.With her fingers still gripping my hair, she guided my head down to her right breast, and I eagerly took her nipple into my mouth, savoring it. My fingers moved down to tease her clit while I thrust inside her rhythmically."Oh, God!" she gasped, unable to hold back her cries of pleasure, moaning my name in delight.I then made my way down, and without any warning, I pulled her panties off and spread her legs wide. I dove in, starting with a hard suck on her clit that made her scream."Nathan!" she cried, but I kept going, flicking my tongue on her clit while maintaining the suction. I held her thighs firmly apart as they trembled uncontrollably.I continued to pl
Chapter 077Nicole"Miss Alison, Mr. Maxwell left this for everyone." A waiter approached our table, balancing a box and a bottle of wine.I scanned the room, my eyes wide, trying to spot Mr. Maxwell, but the crowd made it impossible to identify him. I really wanted to thank him in person for being so kind to me and my friends."Where's Mr. Maxwell?" I asked the waiter as he set the wine down and started heading back to the counter."That guy in the black suit," he said, pointing to a man at the entrance who was already making his exit. I caught a brief glimpse of his dark brown hair and broad shoulders before he disappeared from view.Wait a minute. I squinted, feeling like I recognized him. He seemed really familiar."Nathan?" I shook my head, dismissing the thought. No, he wasn’t Nathan. He wasn’t my husband."Nicole!" Savanna called out, pulling me from my thoughts. She was holding two glasses of wine and handed me one as she got closer. "This is for you. Come on! Let’s get the pa
Chapter 076Nathan"It was Mr. Benson's girlfriend who told him to turn down your wife's project plan, Sir," Felix said, looking at me closely."What?!" I furrowed my brows, pausing my towel-dabbing. "What does his girlfriend have to do with any of this? Is she working at Realistic Excellence too?""No," Felix shook his head. "But she's Kendra Summers, Miss Nicole's stepsister.""Damn that woman!" I growled, my frustration bubbling up. I grabbed a water bottle from the bench nearby. "Get my phone! I need to call Mr. Shade!" I was referring to the Vice President of Realistic Excellence. "If he doesn't fire Mr. Benson today, I won't ever work with them again!"Instead of heading to my office, Felix pulled my phone from his suit pocket and handed it to me. "I figured you'd need this," he said with a proud smile. I shot him a glare before taking the phone and dialing Mr. Shade's number.…………***********…........Meanwhile, Mr. Benson was lounging on the bed with Kendra, watching her down a
Chapter 075NicoleMiss Alison head took a deep breath, the tension in her shoulders easing as she nodded and stepped back."What do you want, Kendra?" I asked, turning to face her, ignoring the old man watching us without intervening. "Just tell me what you need, and I’ll take care of it for you. But please, don’t drag innocent people into this.""Oh, really?" she replied, raising an eyebrow, completely dismissing the anger in my eyes. "You’re seriously underestimating my abilities. What you’re doing to me won’t go unanswered, and it’s going to impact your colleagues and others too." Her gaze sharpened as it shifted from me to Miss Alison. "You know what? You made a huge mistake hiring her! You should let her go immediately if you don’t want her to ruin your company!""You really don’t know what you’re talking about, Miss," Miss Alison replied calmly this time. "I’ve seen how Nicole acts at work. I’ve noticed her commitment and how hard she works. She understands her responsibilities
Chapter 074Nicole"Wait up! I'm coming with you." Just as Andrew and I were about to hop into the elevator, I heard Miss Alison's voice. She had a friendly smile as she stepped in between us. "I also want to hear from the director about why he turned down the project plan."It took us just fifteen minutes to get from the Maxwell Group to the Realistic Excellence Company. Once we arrived, we asked the receptionist where we could find Mr. Benson's office."What do you need from him?" the blonde-haired woman asked, her face completely neutral, unfazed by Miss Alison's authoritative presence. "You'll need to make an appointment first if you want to talk to our director."Miss Alison and I exchanged looks, and she shook her head, breaking eye contact with me. "If we can't speak with him now, any chance of collaboration between our companies will be off the table.""But he didn’t mention anything about that. He should have reminded me if---""We're here to discuss the project plan we submi
Chapter 073NicoleI pressed my lips together and tilted my head to glance at Savanna, who was busy jotting down every word Miss Alison was saying. Meanwhile, I just leaned back in my chair, quietly listening and mentally noting her words."Realistic Excellence Company needs a project plan. I want each of you to start drafting one right now and show it to me when you're finished. That’s how I’ll decide who has the best idea," Miss Alison glanced at her watch, and I pulled out my phone to gather info about Realistic Excellence Company. "You have twenty minutes to finish it. I’ll be back shortly."As soon as Miss Alison left the room, the room got quiet, and we all dove into our work, with me trying my best to concentrate and create a solid plan.Just two minutes before time was up, Miss Alison returned and collected our projects one by one. She picked three to compare before finally revealing her choice.I was stunned when I realized she had selected my project idea. "Is this your work
Chapter 072Nathan"This place is really pricey, Nathan," Nicole whispered, staring out at the huge, brightly lit restaurant. "We should be saving some cash. I wouldn't mind grabbing a bite at a cozy spot instead."I let out a sigh and leaned back in my seat. How could I forget that my wife had no clue I wasn’t as broke as she thought? I could give her anything she desired, buy whatever she wanted, because I had plenty of money. But now wasn’t the right moment for her to find out, so I started the car and drove away from my favorite restaurant.We ended up at a fast-food joint, which Nicole was totally happy with. As time went on, I learned more about her. She was a sweet and easygoing person who could smile at the simplest things. But I couldn’t help but wonder how she’d react if she knew I owned the Maxwell Group. Would she still look at me the same way?When we got home, Nicole headed straight upstairs while I made my way to the kitchen to brew some coffee for us. We had eaten a lo
