Chapter 24 (Part One)


    Nicole got injured when she shook off Lena''s hand and identally scratched Primrose''s wheelchair.


    After the doctor checked on Nicole, Nicole was fine. The doctor asked the nurse to apply some


    medicine to Nicole''s wound and bandage it. Then Nicole would be fine.


    During the whole process, Eric apanied Nicole.


    Nicole''s clothes and hair were still wet. It was cold in winter, and her hands and face were pale with


    cold, but Nicole didn''t feel it at all. She was in a trance all the time.


    Looking at Nicole, his expression was a little different from usual calmness, Eric suddenly whispered,


    "Are you okay? Let me drive you home!"


    Nicole raised her head slowly and looked down at her well wrapped palm. It seemed that she just


    remembered something. It was already 21 o''clock in the evening. She didn''t want to bother Eric


    anymore. She whispered, "No, thank you, Mr. Eric."


    Nicole had forgotten to expose her rtionship with Eric by saying that. Her voice was hoarse and it


    was obvious that Nicole was about to catch a cold.


    Eric advised Nicole, "Take the cold medicine prescribed by the doctor."


    Nicole took a look at the cold medicine and drank it with water.


    Then Eric insisted again. "Let me drive you home. It doesn''t matter. It is not out of my way."


    Nicole didn''t understand why Eric cared about her so much. Maybe he had always been warm-hearted


    and was willing to help others, just like when he caught her overturned suitcase at the airport and sent


    her to take a taxi.


    Nicole could see something different in Eric''s eyes. Something strange andplicated, like a


    whirlpool, deeply attracted her


    Nicole slowly stood up and looked into Eric''s eyes.


    This was the first time Nicole faced Eric at a close distance. Although she had met him in the past, he


    had always been in a hurry. When she had just greeted him, he would nod and walk over. She always


    stopped at his back and looked at him with affection in her eyes. But he had always left like a gust of


    wind without concern. It was the first time that Nicole could look at Eric in this way.


    Eric was tall, and Nicole was not short, so her conservative estimate of Eric should be 1.83 meters. Eric


    looked very young, not as childish as the young, but he was mature and gentle.


    This was her dream man. Nicole used to be excited or unforgettable because of his back, his side face,


    or asionally when he looked back. Now Eric was so close to Nicole that she could look at him up


    and down.


    But when Nicole thought of the love she had lost, she was sad and unwilling. She had been secretly in


    love with Eric for so long, but in the end, Eric didn''t even know who she was. She was forced to give


    up.


    Nicole was very sad, and the suppressed emotions in her heart overflowed. She couldn''t help but ask,


    "Mr. Eric, I used to be the sales clerk of the sales department of the E Venture Capital Company. My


    name is Nicole. Do you remember me?"


    It seemed that Eric was surprised at her sudden question with tears in her eyes. He opened his mouth


    slightly, but his face was still calm. Only his eyes shed and became more and moreplicated.


    Nicole hoped that even if Eric remembered her a little bit, even if he had a rough impression of her, it


    was not in vain that she had been thinking about him for so many years at the first sight of him at the


    airport.


    All of a sudden, a smile appeared on his face. Eric said in a gentle voice, "I know you. Owen told me in


    the restaurant just now."


    Owen was the former project manager of the E Venture Capital Company. Owen resigned and went


    back to the headquarter of the E Group soon after the AI Group arrived. Just now, he had apanied


    Eric to entertain Lambert. Nicole didn''t expect that Manager Owen still had an impression of her.


    ''Did Eric care about me only when Manager Owen told him that I was one of his employees?


    Did he help me just because of this, and he remembered me just because someone reminded him? I


    had met him several times on the airport, on the way or during the interview, but he didn''t remember?''


    The hope that had finally lit up in Nicole''s heart was destroyed again. She lowered her head dejectedly.


    However, Eric suddenly added, "When you joined the E Venture Capital Company, I interviewed you.


    Your resume is very excellent, but I don''t understand why you are going to be a salesperson. I don''t


    think you are suitable for sales. If you are sent to the human resources department, you will certainly


    make some achievements, so I asked Miss Li to keep you. Two monthster, you really entered the


    human resources department. I heard that the sry mode of the AI Group was changed by you. You


    are very good! "


    Nicole didn''t expect such a praise. She was surprised again, and the hope in her heart was not


    completely extinguished, leaving only a glimmer of light.


    With a gentle smile on his face, Eric praised his subordinates in an official manner. However, his words


    had been a great encouragement to Nicole, and had almost saved her heart. Nicole didn''t expect that


    Eric still remembered her. He always knew who she was!


    "There seems to be some misunderstandings between you and Mr. Lambert. The end of the year is


    around the corner. In the past few days, I have been discussing with Mr. Lambert about the year-end


    bonus. You are the most concerned employee of the E Venture Capital Company and the AI Group. If


    possible, can I know what happened between you and Mr. Lambert?" After a pause, Eric added,


    "Maybe I can help."


    The year-end bonus was the biggest work of thepany at the end of the year. After all, they had


    been busy for a year, and everyone was looking forward to getting more bonus. There were original


    rules and regtions to follow, but this year, it had changed the owner of the E Venture Capital


    Company, and every expense involved the interests of the twopanies. This job became more


    complicated.


    Nicole didn''t know if Lambert was putting pressure on Eric, because the loss of this year was still in the


    charge of the E Group, and if Eric wanted to spend money, he had to discuss with the AI Group. In


    terms of status, Lambert was in the lead. If Lambert didn''tpromise, it would be very difficult for


    Eric. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
