The Sweet Plunder Of CEO novel Chapter 36

His tall figure disappeared in the dark corridor. The sound of his footsteps echoed, making Nicole very angry and sad. Suddenly, her legs became weak, and she slowly collapsed to the ground along the wall.

With one hand inserted into her hair, Nicole lowered her head and stared at the dark floor tiles, feeling very annoyed and confused. She was confused what had happened just now and why such a thing had happened. How could Lambert humiliate her like this!

Nicole glared at the office of Lambert, but she still didn't have the courage to fight against him. After enduring for a while, she finally picked up her bag silently, slowly stood up with the help of the wall, and silently escaped from the company.

Perhaps Nicole was just like a weak person in the past few years. Since her mother died, her father abandoned her, and she was hurt by Lambert like that, she did not have the courage to face these people, but quietly escaped. How much hatred had turned into blood in her heart! And she could not resist it.

When Nicole didn't have enough ability to deal with these people, she could only choose to hide with Layton and live a life full of hatred and grievance. So Nicole didn't go back to the A City after graduation. Instead, she went to the C City far away. She wouldn't have come back if it weren't for the fact that she needed to take care of Layton after high school and that Layton had been disliked by her relatives and couldn't stay in other people's house.

Two years before Nicole came back, she didn't dare to contact any of her classmates for fear that others would know her situation and that her enemies would take pleasure in her misfortune. However, after Nicole endured for two years, Samuel finally broke the peace. Nicole met Lambert again at a classmate reunion party, and a new disaster began.

Or maybe this was Nicole's fate. Maybe if Samuel didn't come to him, Lambert would also acquire the E Venture Capital Company and meet Nicole. Perhaps Nicole hadn't met Lambert, and the mistress and the daughter of the mistress would also come to Nicole and shamelessly beg for Nicole and Layton' help. This was destined to happen. Nicole couldn't escape.

'But why couldn't I escape from being humiliated and hurt?'

Nicole thought in a trance, depressed. Nicole went back home and did nothing. She took a shower in a hurry and went to bed without drying her hair. At night, she dreamed of her mother, her happy family when she was a child, and the sudden appearance of the mistress and the daughter of the mistress broke the peace, as well as the hurt of Lambert to her.

Even in her dream, Nicole cried. She recalled that she knelt down in front of the gate of Lambert's house in the heavy rain, and Lambert was likely to be mocking her with Primrose upstairs. She felt that it was a nightmare, an unforgettable and indelible injury.

Finally, Nicole was woken up by a ringing phone.

Nicole escaped from the nightmare. Although in front of her it was as dark as a dream, she finally couldn't see her kneeling at the door of Lambert's house and crying. She felt depressed, but she didn't cry miserably as she had in the dream. She finally escaped from the nightmare.

Nicole thought for a while and slowly picked up the phone on the bedside table. There were two missed calls from Layton, and it was 3 o'clock in the morning now.

Nicole's phone had been set up to prevent harassment at night, but there was an exception, which was her brother's phone number. No matter she was sleeping or not, as long as it was from her brother, it would ring. However, this function had never been used by Layton. For so many years, Nicole had never been disturbed by Layton at midnight.

Nicole had an intuition that something was wrong with Layton, so she called Layton back. But to her surprise, Layton's phone was powered off.

"Powered off?" Nicole murmured, frowning. 'What's wrong with Layton? He just called me two times, but his phone was suddenly powered off.'

But Nicole didn't think too much about it. She just thought that Layton had made a mistake again. Layton often made the wrong call, so she covered herself with the quilt and went to bed again.

Nicole didn't have nightmares until dawn.

The second day was the first day that the human resources department of the E Group sent people to assist Nicole in her work. She couldn't be late or ask for leave. On this day, Nicole got up a little earlier than before. She dressed herself up neatly and went to the company with exquisite makeup.

When Nicole was browsing through her phone in the subway, she thought of the call from Layton last night, so she called him back. However, the call failed or maybe because of the bad signal in the subway. Nicole gave up. When she went to work and began to be busy, she forgot it again.

The HR department of the E Group sent a female colleague about 30 years old, called Ada Lin. She was from the same industry as Nicole. Ada had been engaged in the human resources industry for seven or eight years and had rich experience in salary reform. After a little contact with Ada, Nicole felt it was a great honor, because she got to know Ada during this period and she learned a lot from Ada.

Nicole and Ada were busy until noon. When the HR manager invited Ada and the others to have lunch outside, Nicole finally thought of Layton and called Layton again. But this time, Layton's phone was still powered off, which upset Nicole.

Seeing that Nicole was absent-minded, the other colleagues asked, "Nicole, what's wrong with you?"
