My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 989

"Is it Miss Riddle and Mr. Ellison?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes."

"This way, please." The receptionist guided them to the dinner venue.

Unlike the daytime seminar, there were some unfamiliar faces at the dinner. As Nicole and Harvey made their way inside, those who knew them greeted them.

"Here we meet again, Miss Riddle." Scott came up to her.

"I'm seeing a lot of unfamiliar faces, Mr. Harmon." Nicole looked over at the surrounding people.

"These are the local prestige families who have some business dealings with me. But you can just relax and talk to them. It is good for Riddle Corporation's future," Scott said.

Nicole smiled.

"I was impressed by your speech at the seminar during the day, and I have gained a lot of confidence. The manned flying car project is not a simple experiment. It must take someone with conviction and determination to lead the team. I was planning to lead the team myself, but something more important came up. I need to take care of it. By observing you during the day, I know you are equipped with leadership skills and have a firm belief in manned flying cars, so—"

"Mr. Harmon, are you telling me to lead the R&D team, are you?" Nicole interrupted him.

"That's right. I couldn't find a more suitable candidate other than you."

"Mr. Harmon, as you said, a manned flying car is not a simple experiment. I know nothing about R&D and really can't handle it. Thank you for your invitation." Nicole politely refused, as she had more important things to do. Besides, those dark forces were watching her from the dark. With all sorts of complications that she was facing, it was a potential threat to the R&D team.

Since Nicole refused, Scott could only ask her to agree in a tactful way. "I know you don't understand R&D. In fact, you don't have to do anything. Just come over from time to time and give the team members a shot in the arm. The assistants will handle the rest for you."
