Yvette paused and shrugged. "Well, let’s not forget that the reason Lance’s company is doing well is that Nicole completely crushed his nemesis, Harrison Corporation. Otherwise, Lance wouldn't have gotten ahead so easily."
Nicole pondered for a few seconds before speaking lightly.
"With Lance’s ability, even without me, Harrison Corporation has become obsolete, so it's only a matter of time before Lance surpasses them. Julie’s right though. If you have the opportunity, it’s better to stay b y Lance’s side to learn from him."
Yvette raised her eyebrows. "Well, let's not talk about that. Anyway, I really can't become a strong career woman no matter how much I learn. I’ll be thanking God as long as Quimbey Corporation doesn’t go bankrupt in my hands!"
The waiter came over to serve the dishes, and everyone instantly wanted to dig in because the food looked so appetizing.
This restaurant was very petit-bourgeois, quiet, and unique.
A few screens blocked people from seeing their booth from the outside, but they could easily see the situation outside.
Julie sighed and happily picked up her fork.
"I'm gonna dig in. I've been eating lunch boxes on the set lately that I'm about to puke.”
Yvette could not help but laugh. "Kai's too unattentive, right? He didn't even visit you at the set?"
Julie shook her head. "I didn't allow him to come because he'll only delay the shooting schedule since the director is afraid of him."
Nicole said, "My third brother is busy taking care of m y dad in the hospital. I suspect that he’s trying to deliberately anger my dad. These days, he received quite a few beatings..."
Julie could not help but smile. "Yeah, I heard him complain about it. He sounded so aggrieved and kept sighing at the mention of this..."
Nicole really wanted to laugh but could not.
Kai really would not know how he dies.
Nicole drank a sip of water and was about to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs. However, when she took a whiff of the vinegar, she suddenly felt her stomach flip, and that desire to eat instantly disappeared.
That uncomfortable feeling of regurgitation a few days ago reappeared. Nicole covered her mouth, looked away, and ran to the bathroom.
Julie and Yvette were left behind, and they looked at each other.
Yvette opened her mouth. "She wouldn't be pregnant, right...?”
Julie pursed her lips and wrinkled her brow in doubt.
