Ivy Harrison nodded and went to the pantry.

In her impression, Joy Harrison was the typical high-society lady. Joy could mingle around the elite circles for the family business with ease. Even Eli Harrison could not stop praising his eldest daughter.

To please Joy, Eli Harrison never recognized Ivy as his daughter. If Eli did not need an unmarried daughter for a marriage alliance, Ivy would have been stuck in that cramped and old apartment. Ivy carried the tray of coffee to the conference room.

The moment she opened the door, she saw Eric talking with Gerard Eichman at the door. Eric was indifferent and calm, but when he glanced at Nicole across the room, his gaze became extra soft.

It was very different from the disgust and indifference in Eric's eyes when he looked at Ivy, which made her indulge in it.

Those three people at the table seemed to be in their own world, untouchable by ordinary people.

When Eric raised his eyes, he saw Ivy Harrison standing there. His face immediately became cold and ugly.

Ivy pretended not to notice and quietly walked in to put down the cups of coffee. "Your coffee."

Nicole heard her voice and looked over in silence.

Before she could say anything, Eric's cold voice came through.

"Why are you here?"

Eric glanced at Gerard because this was his company.' Why was this woman here?'

Gerard shrugged his shoulders innocently. He suddenly remembered something.

"This should be the new assistant sent by Stanton Corporation. Tucker needed more hands, right?" Gerard asked Nicole.

Nicole was silent for half a second. She nodded, looked at Ivy, and spoke earnestly.

"Since you're new here, try to adapt well. Don't let your status delay the company's work."

Ivy was tense for a moment. She did not expect Nicole to react like this.

Calm, poised, and a bit condescending.

This simple statement was like an acceptance of her existence and a warning.

Ivy nodded, suppressing the ripples in her heart.

"I understand, Ms. Stanton."

Ivy knew very well that with her qualifications and abilities, she would not get this assistant position if it was not for her father.

Eli Harrison wanted Ivy to imitate Nicole, which would bring her closer to Eric's circle.

Eric frowned. His eyes were cold, and his face was calm, but he felt uncomfortable.

He stared at Nicole, trying to get some clues from her face.

'It doesn't make sense... Stanton Corporation and Harrison Corporation have no dealings with each other. Was it a coincidence?'

Ivy proactively gave the two cups of plain coffee to the two men and the coffee with milk to Nicole. She then stepped aside to prepare the minutes of the meeting for them.

Nicole took a small sip and put it aside, not touching the cup of coffee again. She then continued the topic earlier.

"Mr. Sloan wants to put in additional capital because he's very optimistic about the prospects of artificial intelligence and he's confident in our domestic R&D capabilities, but he has one request. That is after the project matures, he wants it listed in Liberty. This move will certainly shake Wall Street and the world."

Eric's eyes were shrouded in gloom. He always worked objectively and kept personal matters separate from business. His tone was dull.

"He's not clear about the situation at home because he's been living in Liberty for too long. I think that we should expand in Mediania in the future, and I don't agree to list in Liberty."

Gerard said, "Mr. Sloan's idea is good. With the current situation, if we get listed in Liberty, it'll attract more investors and more global attention, which will push our project to the top. We'll be untouchable. But... I somehow feel like it's a betrayal to our country..."

Nicole frowned and tapped her fingers on the table, seemingly thinking about something.

Seeing this, Ivy hurriedly went up to refill Nicole's coffee with a hint of caution.
