The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 2276 Lectured

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. 1

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.

"Hamilton, what do you know anyway? This is a business strategy. You're still too young and have a lot to learn. You

don’t need to tell me what to do. The company has its own rules and regulations. I'm the president of the company,

so if I can't even take a break as I wish, what’s the point of being in this position?"

Hamilton expressed dissatisfaction with her nonchalant attitude.

However, he did not continue to talk due to his status.

He sighed helplessly as if he was kind to remind her.

"Well... Anyway, I've said everything I needed to say!"

Nicole took the document speechlessly, signed her name, and handed it to him.

"In the future, get Logan to run errands. You're not suitable for this job.”

At least Logan would not affect her mood.

Nicole felt horrible.

Hamilton took the documents and left with satisfaction after having met Nicole.

Nicole sneered and felt that the coffee was tasteless.

She had promised Eric to pick Chance up from school along with Chatty, Fischer, and Levi because Eric saved her

life, and there was no reason to backtrack.

When she arrived at school, Levi was reading as usual.

Chance was hovering around Chatty while Fischer looked speechless and disgusted, trying to draw Chatty's

attention to him instead of Chance from time to time.

The teacher enthusiastically let them leave with Nicole.

Chatty naturally held Nicole’s hand. Fischer was just going to hold Nicole's other hand when he saw that Chance had

gone to Chatty's side.

Thus, Fischer thought about it and ran to the other side of Chatty to hold her hand.

Chatty tried to shake Fischer off but could not.

Nicole sent the children back to the office to drop off Levi and Chance, then she left with Chatty and Fischer.

When Nicole passed by the office, she saw Hamilton coming out of her office.

How strange.

She was not in her office, so why did he go in there?

Just as Nicole was about to say something, she saw Logan coming out of the elevator. Logan happened to see Nicole.

"Ms. Stanton, you're back?"

Nicole pursed her lips and nodded.

Chatty went over and took Logan's hand.

"Hi, Uncle Logan!"

"Hello, Ms. Sloan.”

"Can you buy me some ice cream please?"

Logan was speechless as he thought, 'Why did she have to put me in such a dilemma?’

Logan looked at Nicole inquiringly. Nicole glanced at the excited Chatty and Fischer.

'We're going home soon, and it's past the time for ice cream.”

She patted Fischer’s head.

'Take Chatty to the lounge to play for a while. I need to deal with some things first."

Fischer nodded obediently and left with Chatty in tow.

They had been to the office many times and were familiar with the place.

Nicole turned around and went to her office. Logan immediately followed.

Seeing that Nicole's expression was off, Logan did not know what went wrong.

"President, what’s the matter?"

"How is Hamilton performing lately?"

Logan paused and looked at her with a complicated gaze. He stuttered and did not know what to say.

Nicole frowned.

'You don't know how to talk anymore?" 1
