Nicole giggled and went up to Maverick.
"Mav, please do me a favor as a gift instead..."
"What is it?"
"I have a project that involves artificial intelligence. Since you’re the best expert there is, can you please help me with a part of it?"
Nicole sucked up to her second brother.
Maverick was a national treasure! If she asked him to join the project, it was indeed a little wasteful of his talent.
However, on second thought, it would also be a waste not to make full use of her genius brother!
Maverick nodded. "Sure. I have a month's vacation. Is that enough?"
"Of course, it's enough!"
Nicole took the bank card from Maverick and waved it in his face. "Then I’ll take this too. Thanks, Mav!"
Maverick was speechless.
Not far away, two tall men were walking side by side behind the Stanton siblings. They came to poach an international talent, so they squatted there by themselves all night.
'Why hasn't the assistant sent any photos yet?' Keith Ludwig thought.
Keith looked at the woman and nudged Eric's shoulder.
"What a coincidence! Isn't that Nicole?”
Beside her was a man they had never seen before. That man looked calm and decent with a cool temperament. He did not look like a businessman, but an ordinary person at first glance.
Following Keith’s line of sight, Eric happened to see Nicole's side profile.
Her long and wavy hair was let down and she was wearing a long black halter dress with stilettos that made her legs look even more slender than they already were. She looked so elegant and happy as she smiled fondly at the man next to her.
Eric subconsciously walked over just so he could hear their conversation and her pleasant voice.
"Why the sudden divorce?" Maverick asked.
"Because he died," Nicole spoke without a thought.
"Oh." Maverick nodded emotionlessly.
Eric and Keith's footsteps lurched, and their bodies suddenly stiffened.
The man who was supposedly dead was rendered speechless.
Eric just stared intently at Nicole's back for a long time, but she did not seem to notice.
Keith laughed and patted his shoulder. "Don’t look, you’re already dead!”
The photos finally came in. Keith looked down and was about to remind Eric about their purpose in coming here.
