The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 572 The One Who Got Beaten

The elevator went straight to the top floor. Nicole went back to her office.

Logan came over to report on work. When he saw Nicole's red face, he asked with concern, "President, do you have a fever? Should I get a doctor to come over?"

Nicole's face stiffened slightly. Her voice was cool and calm. "No need."

Soon, she concentrated on reading the document and signed her name. She looked at Logan and said, "Urge the legal department to complete the ownership agreement with J&L Corporation as soon as possible. Don't agree to anything they request."

Logan was a bit surprised. This was the first time that she had cut off room for discussion so decisively.

"Understood."

He did not ask more questions and went to the legal department to convey Nicole's message.

This time, J&L Corporation was at fault, so they dared not reject Nicole's terms.

Within a few days, Dominic Young called and said that Xander resigned from the film.

"It looked like he was beaten up by someone. He's been very popular recently, so I grabbed a lot of resources for him from the hands of others. I guess someone held a grudge and beat him up. It was a pretty brutal fight. He even broke three ribs."

Nicole gasped softly.

"Did you replace out who it is?"

Dominic laughed. "I didn't investigate. If it turns out to be our own artist, it'll be hard to handle. Anyway, Xander's keeping a low profile now. He doesn't even dare to call the police. Should we keep him on the shelf for a while?"

Nicole hesitated for a few seconds. "Whatever. It's up to you. If he's still useful then keep him, if not, then forget it."

Dominic raised his eyebrows and immediately understood Nicole's intention to let him go.

Nicole hung up the phone and still had some doubts about Xander getting beaten up.

After some thought, knowing Xander's attitude, he would be the first to tell her if this was done by Eric.

Even Xander did not know who beat him up.

Forget it. It already happened anyway.

Moreover, he really did look like someone who needed a beating. 1

Her phone suddenly chimed. It was a message from Clayton Sloan. [Ms. Stanton, shall we have dinner tonight?]

Nicole froze for a moment.

A new message came in. [To celebrate the smooth running of the project.]

She smiled.

Clayton always found adequate reasons that she would not refuse.

After thinking about it, Nicole felt guilty and wanted to take this opportunity to apologize.

She replied. [Sure!]

After agreeing on the time and place, Nicole drove over.

It was a high-end private restaurant that had no completely closed-off private rooms. There were only semi-open booths for privacy.

The patrons would not be able to see each other unless one deliberately spied on others.

Nicole looked at the surroundings. It was secluded and quiet, more suitable for a couple's date.

Clayton chose a seat near the window. It was a perfect spot to enjoy the scenery. A faint light illuminated his side profile. His warmth and modesty seemed so out of this world. When Nicole walked over, Clayton immediately spotted her and stood up to pull the chair out for her.

"Someone recommended this restaurant. I heard that

their desserts are nice. Most ladies love them."

Such thoughtfulness was no longer just a business dinner.

Nicole understood his intentions, but she did not expose them.

She also did not give him any expectations, so she did not give a response.

"Thank you."

Clayton's smile was gentle and soothing. His temperament was calm and quiet like a scholar.

"Yesterday, Mr. Lichman of J&L Corporation personally went to my hotel to apologize. He said a lot of good words, and finally asked me to put in a few good words for him in front of you, Ms. Stanton. That's how I know that it's all thanks to you this time."

Nicole chuckled. "It's what I should do. Stanton Corporation is also involved and cooperating with J&L Corporation is my recommendation, so if the project's progress is delayed because of J&L, we can change him out."

Clayton was slightly stunned and did not expect Nicole to be so clear-cut, but he was soon relieved.

He had also investigated who was among the shareholders of J&L Corporation.

Thus, he figured that her ruthlessness was probably directed at a certain someone.
