When the sunlight lazily crept up the window and shone on Nicole’s face through the gap in the curtain, i t created dark shadows on the curtains which cascaded onto the ground.
Nicole's hungover head was still a little groggy and not quite awake.
She lazily opened her eyes, rubbed them, and quickly adapted to the bright, wavering sunlight.
It was a bright morning, and the room was warm.
However, Nicole stiffened and widened her eyes.
'I had too much to drink, and then what? I don't remember anything... It looks like that wine is pretty strong. I've always been a good drinker, but I got myself drunk?'
When she looked down, she saw that her clothes were still the same as last night's, just a little messy.
At that moment, Nicole was relieved. 'I guess I can still feel my way back to bed even after drinking too much last night!'
Thinking that, she went to freshen up and took a shower with a muddled mind.
Half an hour later.
Nicole came out.
Her phone suddenly rang.
She walked over and saw that it was a call from Dominic Young.
"Mr. Young, it's so early in the morning. Do you want t o report to me about work, or arrange work for me?"
"Ms. Stanton... President Nicole... What else is there to talk about work? Mr. Ferguson drove away Sadie and Charlotte, so who should we look for to fill these two vacancies?"
This statement was like a boulder hitting Nicole's head. She was too stunned to react for a moment.
"Huh? Why?"
"I... How should I know? Why don’t you ask Mr. Ferguson about his wise decision?" Dominic stammered.
Dominic could vaguely perceive that it might have something to do with those actresses knocking on his door last night, but at the same time, it did not seem s o simple.
Nicole hung up the phone, got dressed, and went straight to Eric.
'Those two women came up to knock on my door last night. Is he afraid that it’ll affect his reputation? Hah! What a hypocrite!’
Eric's room was on the same floor at the end of the corridor.
It was a little too unusually quiet today.
