On the road.
Yvette complained to Nicole.
"I just realized that being a powerhouse in senior management isn't fun at all! It's not at all like the old days. Lance surprisingly trusts me with a lot of important projects at once. Do you know how important those projects are? If I lose any one of them and my mother finds out, she'll probably come over and beat me to death!”
Nicole could not help but laugh. "Now, you have real power in your hands. Isn't this what you've always wanted?”
Yvette pouted her lips. "I don't even dare to say that this isn't what I want now. I work overtime every day until past midnight. I feel so aggrieved! But once I go out and see the lights still on in Lance's office, I don't feel so bad anymore..."
Nicole said, "I heard from Kai that you have some projects with him and that you did a good job! Mr. Sheldon is certainly assured enough for you to handle the important things."
Yvette sighed and looked toward the sky.
"But it's too tiring!"
However, Yvette could only talk and complain about it.
When Nicole proposed to go shopping and Lance called Yvette to attend a meeting, Yvette left Nicole behind without hesitation and went back to the office.
Nicole was bored and could only call Julie.
"Wanna go shopping?"
Julie stammered. "I-I'm busy. Next time?"
Nicole was on high alert. "Aren't you on vacation?"
Julie had no choice but to tell her the full story.
"Kai’s busy at the office and has no time to meet me. It just so happens that the crew needs some extra hands, so I went over to help out..."
Nicole rolled her eyes. "You’re really something. You can't even spare yourself from work?"
Julie sighed. "Don’t mention it. Every time I'm with Kai, he keeps hinting at having a baby. If it’s so simple, why doesn't he give birth by himself?!"
Nicole knew that Kai felt pressured about this.
"He's just talking nonsense. Don't you know him by now?"
Even if Kai wanted a baby, he only wanted to look at one.
Julie said, "I know. That’s why I didn't bother with him."
