The Sweet Plunder Of CEO

Chapter 33

Nicole looked back at Eric's back, reluctant to leave, until she heard a voice, "Haven't you seen enough?" Nicole turned around.

When Nicole saw Lambert walking towards her, he was the only one in the long corridor. He was dressed in a suit and walked briskly, as tall as a model. Such a man should have been amazing, but the sneer at the corners of his mouth was really disgusting and couldn't be liked at all.

Nicole knew that Lambert must have seen her watching Eric's back, and he always liked to sneer at her. In order not to give him the chance, she turned around and left, ignoring his words. Since there was no one in the corridor, no one would blame Nicole for being rude to her leader.

Lambert stopped and said sarcastically, "Are you unhappy that your mind was exposed? It turns out that you have such a crush on Eric. No wonder you are so greedy to buy the same scarf as him."

Nicole still didn't respond, but Lambert said again, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that Eric has a fiancee. You'd better stop daydreaming!"

Nicole finally stopped, because what Lambert said really hit her heart.

Although Nicole knew that it was impossible for her to be together with Eric, it was the first time that she had heard such a straightforward suggestion from others, which made her feel shocked.

It suddenly occurred to Nicole that it was the first time she had met Eric in a coffee shop and he had left with a girl with curly hair hand in hand. And the way he coaxed the girl with curly hair in the famous shop. That girl maybe was Eric's girlfriend. If that girl was Eric's girlfriend, judging from her figure, appearance and temperament, the two of them were a good match. Moreover, judging from her behavior and speech, the girl was also from a good family, and she should be from a family of equal status with Eric.

The marriage was a perfect match. At that time, Nicole had already had a guess, but it was not as clear as others reminded.

"Cinderella's story only lives in fairy tales, not to mention that she is also a noble girl. But you... …… You are just an unknown" Lambert said sarcastically.

Finally, Nicole turned around and stared at Lambert. Her eyes were cold and sharp. It was obvious that she had been hurt. She said in a low voice, "I have never had any unrealistic fantasy. Mr. Lambert, your worry is in vain! Even if I really appreciate Mr. Eric, it is purely appreciation of the charm of his personality. There is one kind of person that is born to be worshiped, while there is another kind that is only as disgusting as trash!"

After saying that, Nicole turned around and left.

The moment Nicole turned around, Lambert asked, "Do you like Eric?"

Nicole paused, but soon turned around and strode away. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Lambert said, "It seems so."

Nicole ignored Lambert and strode forward. But it was rare that this time, Lambert didn't chase after Nicole. He just stared at her back silently. There was a sneer at the corners of his mouth, but it slowly disappeared. The sharp light in his eyes was dim, replaced by a lonely color.

And all of this was something that Lambert himself could not notice.

At that moment, Lambert only felt a shock from the huge wave in his heart, as if after the wave receded, he stood on the shore, wet all over. There was no one around him, and the sun was bright and the sea breeze was warm. He inexplicably felt very cold. Lambert was very upset.

They had lunch in a five-star hotel. In the morning meeting, there were 11 people from the E Group. Except for those who had something urgent to deal with, there were still 5 people left. There were 4 senior executives sent by Lambert's subsidiary company and 2 consultants sent by the headquarter of AI Group. They gathered in the private room of the five-star hotel. There were many people and it was inevitable for them to drink. Regardless of whether it was lunch or dinner, this meal was destined to last till night.

After three rounds of drinking, some people who were good at drinking toasted to each other, and some hid in the corner and chatted. There were many original employees of E Venture Capital Company in the AI Group's subsidiary, so after dinner, the senior executives of the two companies became more enthusiastic.

Lambert shook the red wine slowly, staring at the garnet-like wine in a daze. Then he took a sip, with blurred eyes and melancholy on his face, as if he had something on his mind.

After looking at the opposite for a while, Eric finally picked up the red wine glass and walked to him. Then, Eric sat down next to Lambert, raised his glass and said, "Mr. Lambert, may I propose a toast to you?"

Seeing that Eric was coming, of course, Lambert would be polite. Lambert raised his glass and touched the glass with Eric. Then Lambert drank gloomily, seeming not in a good mood.

Looking at Lambert, Eric suddenly said, "I used to work in Wall Street for Internet marketing. When I came back, my father suddenly handed over the E Venture Capital Company to me, hoping that I could rebuild the company. At that time, all the shareholders of the group focused on me, and I didn't have much confidence. But in order not to disappoint my father and shareholders, I took over. The first day I became the general manager, I began to collect industry news, constantly learn and improve, and strive to enter the industry as soon as possible. It was during that time that I got to know Mr. Lambert through news in the business circle. It was said that Mr. Lambert was the top leader of the venture

capital industry. Wherever you were, there would be no mistake. Every project was done well and admirable. I've always wanted to get in touch with Mr. Lambert, but I didn't expect that Mr. Lambert would take over the E Venture Capital Company. I'm relieved."

Lambert didn't expect that Eric would take the initiative to mention this to him. He toasted to Eric again and said, "Mr. Eric is a very mature manager. There are not many excellent managers at such a young age like you in our country. Even if you are not familiar with the industry of venture capital, you have saved the E Venture Capital Company out of trouble. To be honest, if the E Venture Capital Company didn't have your later efforts, I won't take over this mess. It's also because of Mr. Eric that I have the intention to cooperate with the E Group."

With a smile, Eric said, "Mr. Lambert is a serious and persistent person. You are very rigorous about feelings and business. It's good for you to have such an attitude on work, but it's maybe not appropriate to use it on feelings."

Lambert stared at Eric in surprise and disapproval.

Eric could see Lambert's expression, but he just asked gently, "Feeling is very fragile, and can't withstand such damage and blow. Last time in the restaurant, is the injured lady Lambert's cousin?"

Lambert was shocked, but he frowned and stared at Eric.

Eric still smiled harmlessly, saying, "I don't mean to invade Mr. Lambert's privacy, but... I know something by accident. Mr. Lambert, you hate the Guan family, but it's actually a grudge of the last generation. It has nothing to do with Nicole, or even Nicole's mother. You only hate Nicole's grandpa, but Nicole is involved for no reason. In fact, it's unfair to that girl."

"How did you know that?" Lambert said in a discontented tone as he began to be on guard.

"I just... Mr. Lambert, I just don't want you to affect the cooperation between the two companies because of personal grudges. Recently, a lot of original employees of the E Venture Capital Company have left the company. I don't think it's necessary to change a company in such a bloody way. Occasionally taking the gentle policy will have an unexpected effect. Mr. Lambert, you recognize me as a professional manager. I wonder if you recognize my advice."

"Mr. Eric, I appreciate you very much, but in fact, I can't understand what you mean by saying that." Lambert pretended to be silly, but his words were sharp and cautious.

"The salary reform is the key to combine the two companies, and Nicole is the key to this work. Mr. Lambert, I think both the E Group and the AI Group should cherish this employee."

With an ambiguous smile on her face, Lambert drank slowly. Without looking at Eric, he fixed his deep eyes outside the window and said gently, "Mr. Eric, what you said is reasonable, but it makes me doubt. Doubt your relationship with Nicole. " Lambert looked at Eric and asked, "Mr. Eric's secretary, why did he ask for leave for Nicole?"

Eric's expression was still calm, not affected by Lambert's question. "That day, after Mr. Lambert held Miss. Primrose in your arms and left, Nicole was also injured. I sent Nicole to the hospital, and then Nicole told me everything. I didn't know so many things before. I just happened to know that Mr. Lambert and Miss. Primrose were cousins. That night, after being told by Nicole, I understood. Mr. Lambert, Nicole has always felt guilty for the hurt she had caused to Miss. Primrose. In fact, she is a poor girl. You shouldn't have vented your anger on her because of the resentment of the last generation."

Lambert felt like a clam that had been opened its shell all the time. He showed all the secrets in front of Eric naked. He didn't expect that Eric knew all of them.

Few people knew that Lena was Lambert's aunt, and Primrose was Lambert's cousin. Lambert's mother was born in an ordinary family, but she was in love with Lambert's father. Lambert's father had taken great pressure to marry Lambert's mother, but Lambert's grandparents had been against it. Later, Lambert's grandparents somehow believed in something strange. They forced Lambert's parents to divorce and let Lambert's father marry the eldest daughter of the Guan family, which was also the aunt of Nicole.

Lambert's father didn't agree, but the Guan family and Lambert's grandfather forced Lambert's mother to death together. Therefore, Lambert hated the people of the Guan family very much. When Lambert was at school, he knew for the first time that Nicole liked him, and Nicole was the granddaughter of the Guan family, he had made up his mind to torture Nicole.

Lambert tried to seduce Nicole and make her fall in love with him deeply. Later, he would work together with Primrose to trample on her feelings. He thought he would get some pleasure in revenge. However, as Nicole kept silent and disappeared, he found that he did not get much fun. Instead, he was trapped in entangled emotions and contradictory emotions.

Now Lambert still hated the Guan family, but he had indescribable contradictory feelings for Nicole.

"Mr. Eric, you seem to sympathize with Nicole?" Lambert sneered.

Eric shook his head but unexpectedly said very frankly, "No, I admire her."

Lambert looked at Eric.

Eric continued, "In fact, she is an excellent girl. Many girls nowadays are not as good as her. If Mr. Lambert put aside your prejudice, you will find that she deserves our respect."

"You flatter her too much." Lambert sneered.

Still shaking his head, Eric said, "I stayed with her silently for two months when I was in the E Venture Capital Company, so I know her."
