The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1779 Absolutely Impossible

Nicole wore sunglasses and nodded.

"This way please..."

Nicole and Logan followed the lady.

Logan was not too happy. After all, with Nicole's identity, Luke Youngblood did not come out to receive them and let his receptionist lead them over.

Luke Youngblood was really putting on airs.

However, Nicole's face was indifferent as she walked inside.

The receptionist glanced back at Nicole from time to time, wanting to take a closer look but also worried about offending her.

Nicole noticed the curious gaze from the front and smiled at her in a friendly way.

The receptionist shuddered and immediately turned back, not daring to peek again.

Nicole was speechless and thought, 'Am I that scary?'

Once they turned a corner, they arrived at an office door. The receptionist coughed.

"Ms. Stanton, our general manager, Mr. Youngblood, is waiting for you inside. Please come in."

Nicole nodded and subconsciously swept a glance outside. A few workstations occupied the main area. They looked clean-cut and did not look like the stereotypical programmer. However, everyone was busy with their own things and kept their heads down. They did not even notice her.

They sure were professional!

Nicole thought so and had a good feeling in her heart.

This way, Nicole did not mind taking out more money.

When she pushed the door open, Luke Youngblood stood up and walked over to greet her.

"Ms. Stanton, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Nicole raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Nice to meet you."

Luke was not quite the same as she imagined. He did not look serious and old-fashioned, but tall, thin, pale, and quite youthful and handsome.

He did not look like a clueless fresh graduate. He looked mature and stable like a veteran in the business world.

He looked like he was not easy to deal with.

This was Nicole's first instinct.

However, that made sense. Otherwise, how could Z Technologies become such a hotcake in just a few months that investors wanted to get a cut?

The office was not big, but it was clean and tidy. There was not much fancy stuff, and everything was in simple clear gray tones. It was very much to a man's preferences. They sat on the sofa, and the receptionist just now brought over three cups of coffee.

Nicole raised her eyebrows. The receptionist was also responsible for a secretary's work?

Soon, Luke's face was sullen as he asked the receptionist to leave. The lady looked at Nicole reluctantly and dawdled out.

Luke was a bit speechless and explained to Nicole.

"Sorry, she's my girlfriend. She knows that a female customer is here today, so she..."

Nicole nodded with a look of understanding. "I understand."

So that was Luke's girlfriend. No wonder...

Logan took out the prepared documents and handed them to Luke.

Only then did Nicole speak with a straight face.

"Mr. Youngblood, I believe that you've been in contact with our company before. You can bring up whatever conditions that you're not satisfied with."

Luke sullenly looked at the document in front of him and pursed his lips.

"The conditions you gave are more generous than everyone else, but 51% of our shares is too much. That's absolutely impossible."

Nicole smiled and saw his firm look of refusal. This was an expected reaction.

"51% of shares in exchange for a lump sum of $200 million. This is equivalent to Stanton Corporation taking on all the risks. You don't need to bear any risk, so you're not at a loss..." Luke curled his lips and looked stubborn. He shook his head.

"When I lose the controlling stake, I'll be put in a passive position, so what's the point of keeping this company?"

Once the other party had more shares than Luke, sooner or later, the company would land up in their hands.

The purpose of his business venture was not to do all this work for the benefit of others.
