Chapter 30 Set a Trap
Early morning.
Nicole opened her eyes in the warm morning light. It felt so cozy and mellow that she curled her lips
into a sweet smile. Someone knocked on the door right on time. A maid asked in a soft voice, "Miss,
are you awake?”
Hearing this, Nicole answered in a lazy voice, "Mm... come in."
Last night, Grant's driver brought her to the Stanton mansion.
Two maids pushed in a huge clothing rack and spoke respectfully, "Miss, these are the clothes
prepared especially for you. Master and Eldest Young Master are waiting for you in the dining hall.”
Nicole was slightly shocked. 'Dad is so extra...I bet he wanted to buy out all my favorite brands so that
I'm the only one who can wear them...'
There were several pieces of the same style in different colors. Although there was no logo, Nicole
could tell from the familiar workmanship and fabric that these were from Prada's private collection.
Some o f them were this season's latest limited edition pieces, so they were invaluable.
She certainly had to adapt to this kind of luxury lifestyle again. "Alright, you guys may leave."
Nicole got out of bed to freshen up, then randomly picked a little black dress that was chic and tasteful
and paired it with a white blazer before she walked out of her room.
Inside the dining hall, Floyd and Grant Stanton were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast with
effortless grace. 1
When Floyd saw his daughter, he smiled with squinted eyes. "My baby's finally awake!"
Grant turned to look at Nicole and smiled with his eyes.
"I heard that Keith Ludwig ran out of Tattle Bar butt naked last night. Even though he covered his face,
he was still recognized. Old Master Ludwig dragged him back home to punish him early this morning.
The Ludwigs are now busy dealing with the scandal online and their stock almost fell to its limit down.
My little sister is really capable!" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Nicole helplessly shrugged her shoulders and walked over to sit down. "He was the one who provoked
me first."
"Serves him right! What are the Ludwigs compared to my baby? Do whatever you want, Princess."
Floyd Stanton doted on Nicole and gave her a bowl of oatmeal.
After taking a few rushed bites of breakfast, Nicole took Grant’s car to the office.
When Nicole arrived at her office, Logan was standing at the door waiting for her.
"Vice President, Samantha Lindt came here early in the morning. She's now waiting for you in your
office."
Nicole nodded. "Is there any news from J&L?"
"I've already contacted the President of J&L Corporation, Gerard Lichman. He proposed to have a talk
in person over dinner."
"Alright, set up an appointment then."
"Yes, Vice President."
When Nicole pushed the door open, she saw that Samantha was spinning leisurely in her chair,
seemingly enjoying herself. For a moment, the atmosphere in the office was a little awkward.
Samantha's expression changed when she saw Nicole. She hurriedly stood up and looked at Logan
reproachfully. "Why didn't you inform me that the Vice President is here?"
Nicole smiled insouciantly and walked over. "Ms. Lindt, since you like this chair so much, it's yours.
Logan, send it to Ms. Lindt's office later."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Vice President Nicole, I don't mean anything else. There's no need to give me this chair."
Nicole sat on one end of the sofa. Her eyes were cold. " I’m a germaphobe, so I won't sit on a chair that
someone else has sat on."
Samantha was rebuffed, so she glared fiercely at Nicole. She secretly cursed Nicole in her heart and
thought, 'She slept her way into this position, so what i s she so proud of?’
"Ms. Lindt, why did you come in here?" Nicole glanced at her.
Samantha walked over with a document and threw it i n front of Nicole.
“Here, don't say that I didn't remind you. There are a lot of people eyeing this project from FH
Corporation. Their chairman proposed dinner tonight to talk over this cooperation. Vice President
Nicole, you ought to grasp this opportunity."
Nicole flipped through two pages of the document and closed the file without another glance. She did
not believe that Samantha would be so kind as to share such a big slice of cake with her.
However, since Samantha was so proactive, Nicole felt that it would be a waste if she did not play
along with her.
She smiled. "Ms. Lindt, will you be present this evening?"
"Of course, I'll introduce you both."
"Great, then I'll be there on time."
Nicole handed the document to Logan. "Raise this by 3 0%."
Logan took it over without hesitation. "Okay, I'll get it done."
At this moment, Yvette barged in, holding a huge bouquet that blocked her line of sight.
"Nikki, quick! I'm exhausted!"
Nicole was a little surprised. "What's this?"
"Someone is pursuing you, of course...so he sent you flowers..." Yvette raised her eyebrows and
smiled suggestively. 9
