Miss. Li was surprised, because she didn't expect that Nicole would refute her like this. In the past, Nicole was a good subordinate and didn't complain about the work arranged by her leader no matter how hard it was. She didn't expect that Nicole would refute her like this today.
Miss. Li shouted at Nicole, "Nicole, come back!"
Nicole ignored her and hurriedly packed her bag and went out. Miss. Li followed her and shouted a few more words, but Nicole didn't take it to heart and wouldn't hear it.
When Nicole was waiting for the elevator, she rushed in as soon as the door opened and almost hit the person who just came out. The people who came out of the elevator were none other than Lambert and his secretary Miss. Yang. Fortunately, Lambert dodged quickly and didn't bump into Nicole. After covering her mouth in horror, Miss Yang looked at the boss's face and remembered something. She quickly turned around and frowned. "Nicole, why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything urgent?"
Nicole looked up at the two coldly, ignored them and pressed the elevator button quickly.
Miss. Yang looked at Lambert in confusion.
With a cold face, Lambert asked Nicole, "Now the meeting is about to begin, where are you going to?"
Nicole pressed the elevator door quickly and looked at Lambert through the slowly closed door. Her eyes were still firm and cold. She went downstairs without saying anything.
Lambert was getting more and more upset. 'Nicole is getting more and more disrespectful to me as the general manager. In the past, she only dared to show her cold face to me when no one was around. Now that Miss Yang was here, she was also so arrogant!'
Moreover, when Lambert thought of what had happened to Nicole and Eric, and how respectful Nicole had been to Eric, but Nicole treated him indifferently, Lambert became angrier. 'A self-righteous woman you are, you would regret it!'
Nicole was not in the mood to consider the feelings of Lambert and Miss. Li at all. For her, Layton was more important than anything else. Since her mother's death, Nicole had been living with her brother. She had done so much for Layton these years. Even if she worked hard under the leadership of Lambert and didn't dare to resign easily, it was for Layton. If there was an accident to Layton, her insistence was meaningless. She couldn't consider the feeling of Miss. Li and Lambert. And she didn't care about her work and future.
Nicole just hoped that Layton was just a narrow escape.' Layton's classmate must have thought wrong. Layton was not that serious. There were many kinds of car accidents in the world, not necessarily all of which would kill people. It was possible that Layton could come back only with a scratch or a little blood, even if one of his legs was broken. It was better than death!
But if one of his legs was broken, what would Layton do in the future according to his superior temperament?'
Sitting in the taxi, Nicole couldn't help but burst into tears when she thought of this.
When Nicole arrived at the People Hospital, she called Layton's classmate and found Layton's ward according to his instructions. However, as soon as Nicole walked to the corridor, she saw several students gathering in the direction of Layton's ward. They were all seventeen or eighteen years old. Some of them were sitting in a chair in a daze, some with their heads buried in their hands, some with their backs against the wall and staring at their toes, and some with one hand supporting the wall and lowering their heads in silence.
These students looked depressed, as if something important had really happened. Nicole's steps became heavy in an instant. She didn't dare to go there in a hurry for fear of facing a bad scene. She just walked over with heavy steps.
The students raised their heads when they saw someone approaching. One of them knew Nicole. He stood up immediately and said, "Nicole..."
The boy was about 1.8 meters tall, strong and fat with a round fat face. It was none other than Justin, the well-known student in the J High School. It was said that no one in the J High School was not afraid of Justin, and even his teacher couldn't punish Justin. However, Layton had been playing with Justin all the time. Regardless of Nicole's repeated advice, Layton was still with this bastard.
Nicole didn't have a good impression on Justin, but she had heard about the family background and deeds of Justin from Layton, so she instinctively had some reverence for this student. If it was not necessary, she would definitely stay away from him.
Nicole nodded and asked, "Is Layton inside?"
Justin looked back at the ward and then looked at Nicole hesitantly. He paused for a moment and nodded. Then he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Nicole anymore.
Nicole bypassed Justin and walked towards the ward. When she approached the door, she found a student crying at the door. Seeing that she was looking at him, the student even called in a low voice, "Nicole." Nicole immediately recognized that the voice was from the student who had just called her to inform that Layton had an accident.
She nodded at the crying student and pushed the door open. But she didn't expect that there were two people in the ward, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman.
