The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2276

Fortunately, Hamilton was mentally strong. He quickly smiled and said, “Logan is dealing with some important matters in the office, so I volunteered to run errands for him. It’s also because I really wanted to meet you formally, Ms. Stanton. Please forgive me if I’ve offended you.”

Nicole raised her eyebrow. At least, he made her feel comfortable.

He was not a scheming or calculative person and was more like an innocent boy.

Nicole chuckled. “You're welcome, I heard from my father that you’re his friend’s son. Which family are you related to?”

“Lance Sheldon is my cousin. It’s actually quite a coincidence. I was going to join my cousin’s company, but he suddenly withdrew his business from Atlanta. Fortunately, you and Uncle Floyd are still willing to take me in.”

Nicole paused slightly and looked up at him.

“Lance?”

Lance gave up on his plans in Atlanta not long after Yvette’s passing.

With Lance’s ability, if he followed his plan to expand his business in Atlanta, he would have gained a firm foothold within five years and become a force not to be underestimated.

However, Yvette’s death was a huge blow to him, to the point that he would not be able to survive if he did not leave this city.

Thus, Lance passed up the opportunity and left Atlanta.

Nicole and Lance were acquainted because of a mutual friend.

They did not keep in touch with each other frequently because they were afraid of invoking each other’s pain.

Thus, when Hamilton introduced himself as Lance’s cousin, Nicole subconsciously thought of Yvette.

The past that she kept hidden in her heart surfaced again and aroused a stinging pain.

The pain was so sudden that Nicole’s face suddenly paled.

Hamilton did not know about the things that happened in the past and the relationship between Lance and Nicole.

He spoke in a clear voice.

“Ms. Stanton, you don’t need to take special care of me. Just treat me as an ordinary assistant. I’m here to learn, so it won’t be good if I get special treatment.”

Nicole was speechless.

She did not know what to say for a few seconds.

The sadness in her heart faded away after a while, and she looked at him with a complicated gaze.

“It’s good that you have some self-awareness.”

Nicole thought, ‘Hamilton is merely an assistant. Did he think that I was planning to treat him like some VIP? Even if Lance is here right now, Lance won’t show any sense of superiority. What a naive kid!’

However, Nicole changed her impression of him.

Hamilton did not seem to have anything on his mind other than work, let alone a blind date.

He was not at all interested in her, and he was simply weird.

Nicole finally accepted his existence and did not find him so annoying anymore.

She lowered her eyes.

“Ham, you can ask Logan for your task, and he’ll arrange some work for you.”

“Then, when will you go back to work, Ms. Stanton?”

Nicole paused. “What did you say?”

“You’ve been on vacation for a long time. This year alone, you were out of the office for several months already. How can the president of a listed company be so relaxed and nonchalant? I think our company lacks a sense of crisis. Aren’t you afraid that your subordinates will betray you if you hand over all your work to them? If they do, it’ll be too late to cry over it. Ms. Stanton, although I heard about your abilities when I was abroad, you’re still too protected, so you don’t know the dangers in this world!”

Nicole raised her eyes and looked at Hamilton in shock as he lectured her endlessly.

Right.

He was lecturing her.

This was the first time Nicole was lectured by a subordinate, let alone by a subordinate who had just started work not long ago.

More importantly, what he said made sense.

Nicole started to feel ashamed because of what he said.

She suddenly felt like her vacation was not so leisurely anymore.

Nicole felt a little awkward as she looked at the man who was lecturing her without realizing his identity.

She coughed heavily and interrupted his words.
