Nicole’s post temporarily quelled everyone's desire for her to return to the show.
After all, she was the CEO of Stanton Corporation and did not need to depend on the entertainment industry to make a living. Thus, she was certainly qualified to make that decision.
This fever quickly subsided.
Nicole thought that this was just an excuse for her to withdraw from the show, but early the next morning, Tigger automatically adjusted the room's settings to daytime mode before she woke up.
When she opened her eyes, the sunlight spilled through the curtains and only her face.
Nicole did a lazy stretch and poked Tigger.
"You're mistaken. It's not time to get up yet..."
Tigger jumped up and rubbed its head on her forehead.
"Someone’s waiting for you! They won’t let you stay in bed!"
Nicole had no choice but to slowly get up since her sleepiness was almost gone.
It took twenty minutes for her to freshen up.
She chose a luxury Elie Saab's casual dress from this season. It was a light beige knee-length dress that
made her seem so gentle, youthful, and bright.
Grant was beginning to get impatient and had checked his watch countless times.
As soon as Nicole went downstairs, she was pulled by Grant.
"You have to go to the office today. Everyone’s waiting for you."
Nicole stared at him in amazement. 'Today?! When was this decided?'
Grant knew that she was puzzled and explained, "It's the shareholders’ meeting today. Some people have been eyeing your position for a long time, so you must show your face and make them back down."
Nicole immediately understood. 'So, that's what it is...'
Stanton Corporation.
Inside the conference room on the top floor, everyone was sitting upright. The atmosphere was solemn.
