Chapter 1780 Desire for Nothing
Nicole was silent for a while. She looked out the window where the sun was shining and felt her heart calming down.Luke Youngblood, who was sitting opposite her, refused to relent. He was certain that his popular startup was a hotcake that everyone would want.The highest bidder would get it.Of course, Luke would choose the one that was most beneficial to him.Nicole wanted to drink the coffee in front of her but held back in the next second.She looked through the window at the workstations outside. The people outside were not like they were when Nicole first came in. They were not calm and composed. Instead, they had gathered together in discussion and looked very enthusiastic as they stared in the direction of Luke’s office.Nicole was momentarily in deep thought.Suddenly, Nicole turned her head to look at Luke.“Mr. Youngblood, are you really sure that you will succeed when this project goes to market?”Luke froze.Nicole smiled and looked down. She pondered for a mome
Chapter 1781 Bite the Bullet
Logan suddenly understood at this moment why Nicole personally came over.It was not to give Luke Youngblood a chance. Nicole came to give Luke an ultimatum.Nicole’s tone was light, warm, and sweet.“Mr. Youngblood, Stanton Corporation lost the advantage on this project, but we’ve done more long-term preparation and have measures to deal with all kinds of problems after going online while you don’t. You have nothing but a head start. Are you really sure that you can make it to the end?”Luke’s face was glum when he raised his eyes to look at Nicole. He did not have the gentleness he had in the beginning.“What if I just don’t want to sell to Stanton Corporation?”Nicole laughed and slowly sighed in relief. ‘Luke’s anxious now!’She slowly picked up the cup of coffee and put it to her mouth. Just when she was about to take a sip, Logan reminded her with a heavy cough.Nicole really was careless.Nicole froze and put the coffee down again. She glanced at Logan, who stared back
Chapter 1782 I Choose Her
Nicole turned back to look at Luke and sized him up seriously for a few seconds. She smiled.“Fine, since you’re so decisive, I’ll compromise. 49% is the least I’ll take.”Seeing Luke’s dissatisfied expression, Nicole said in a calm voice, “Mr. Youngblood, you should know that nowadays, although there are many entrepreneurial platforms and entrepreneurs, no company that just emerged has been acquired for $200 million. I didn’t ask for much, and you want a lot. Don’t you think that your company will only go further by standing on the shoulders of the Stanton Corporation?”The acquisition of Z Technologies was said to be a win-win situation, but it was still a loss for Stanton Corporation.Thus, even if Luke was dissatisfied, Nicole could only compromise so much.She had already offered him whatever she could.If Luke continued to argue, Nicole might as well give up the acquisition and go back to prepare for the lawsuit.Luke froze for a moment and nodded his head.“Okay, but I h
Chapter 1783 The Biggest Beneficiary
Luke stayed silent.His girlfriend coughed. “Luke, just tell us. Everyone’s mentally prepared.”Another person spoke up. “Yeah, don’t scare us. Did Goddess Nicole not like our small company? I thought there was a chance since she came personally…”“Sigh… I thought I had the opportunity to approach The Goddess again, but it turned out to be a failure…”Luke pursed his lips. He mustered up the strength and smiled.“Since you guys know that the person who came earlier was Nicole from Stanton Corporation, then I’ll tell you the result of today’s meeting.”Luke paused, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.“Nicole agreed to make a one-time payment of $200 million to acquire our company, but she’ll take 49% of the shares. I personally feel that she’ll get too many shares, so I wanted to discuss it with you guys first.”After he said that, everyone fell silent.Luke wrinkled his eyebrows.Everyone looked dumbfounded and did not react as he expected.Did they agree or disagr
Chapter 1784 Offered Too Much
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They could see from the huge capital of $200 million that their efforts were not in vain.This elation washed away their worries about the future.With their current strength, getting $200 million was already a huge success compared to their peers.What else could they not be satisfied about?Luke’s girlfriend smiled. “Since it’s good news, why don’t we celebrate together with dinner?”Everyone immediately agreed and looked at Luke.Luke nodded. Everyone then rushed outside in an instant.--Nicole got into the car and sighed.Logan came into the car and asked, “President, do you think that Luke will backtrack?”Nicole shook her head and narrowed her eyes. “He won’t. He’s a smart man and knows the advantages of maximizing his benefits.”“Then why are you sighing?”Logan did not understand.Nicole pursed her lips and sighed regretfully.“$200 million is too much…”Logan was speechless.Later, Nicole consoled herself.“Nevermind. It’s
Chapter 1785 Add Another Zero
Nicole was just about to refuse when she heard Clayton asking her boldly.“Which project? Do I know about it?”Nicole smiled. “It’s Z Technologies.”Clayton raised his eyebrows. “You got it in the bag?”Nicole nodded. “You know about it?”“Of course. I made an offer, but Luke Youngblood obviously wanted too much, so I rejected him.”Clayton smiled. His gaze carried some sharpness. “Although the project is novel and has a good reputation, in the long run, he doesn’t have any assistance and will soon meet real difficulties that will hit him hard in the face. Once everyone sees how lucrative this project is, the same type of project will become commonplace. I don’t need to focus on Luke Youngblood. Perhaps there will be better options in the future…”Nicole bowed her head and smiled. Her tone was a little lamenting.“That would be a pity. You missed a very good business opportunity.”“How so? You took it down?”Clayton looked at her with a smile on his face, seemingly not surpri
Chapter 1786 Hungry
Clayton touched Nicole’s belly gently and promptly changed the topic.“The baby isn’t making a fuss, right? Have you had any other reactions lately?”Nicole’s attention was drawn away. She shook her head and looked down.In the past three months, her belly did not bulge and only felt different to the touch. However, her morning sickness was gone.She could eat and drink without issues.The nutritionist’s recommendations worked well. Her figure did not go out of shape at all. This was also why she did not feel any discomfort so far.Suddenly, Clayton came closer and looked up at her in surprise.“Your belly moved just now! Did you feel it?”His eyes were bright like stars shining in the dark.The tip of Nicole’s heart trembled slightly.Nicole did not want to disturb him, but she still could not help but say, “Yeah, I felt it. I was just hungry, so my stomach was growling…”Clayton was speechless.Nicole did not want to leave the office, so Clayton called the nutritionist an
Chapter 1787 Bad Temper

Nicole enjoyed his attentiveness with any guilt.It was just that Clayton was not satisfied with that little taste of sweetness earlier.His eyes fell on Nicole from time to time, which made Nicole glare at him fiercely.

Nicole then ate the meal peacefully.It was just about time to get off work.Clayton’s assistant came in a couple of times.
