Chapter 95 Bumped Into the Ex

“Director Schmidt, didn’t you invite Nicole to join the welcome dinner? Bring him along and I’ll naturally have a way

to embarrass her,” Queenie declared confidently.

Truth was, she had spent quite some effort to track down Nicole’s ex-boyfriend. Back then, Nicole broke up with

Henry for the sake of money in order to save her mother, therefore Queenie was sure that Nicole felt guilty toward

him.

On the other hand, Henry was actually a snob who was easily influenced by money, so of course Queenie would

seize this perfect opportunity to use him.

Joanna cast a side glance at Henry and frowned slightly as she didn’t find this man attractive at all, and she

wondered how Nicole even fell for him.

“You mean him?” Disdain flashed through Joanna’s eyes.

Queenie smirked. “Director Schmidt, you just have to bring him there and he’ll know what to do. Regardless of the

outcome, it doesn’t cost you anything, isn’t it?”

Joanna looked back and forth between Queenie and Henry for a while. Indeed, she had disliked Nicole, so she

agreed after pondering for a while. “Alright, I’ll trust you this time.”

Meanwhile, Queenie smiled even brighter upon hearing Joanna’s acceptance.

Nicole, it seems like you’re truly a nuisance. Everyone is against you!

The sky had turned completely dark by the time it was 8 at night, yet the city was brightly lit.

The weather was slightly chilly tonight. It was drizzling, yet one could still feel the cold although the rain wasn’t

heavy.

Around 7 o’clock, Joanna sent Nicole the location. It was at a karaoke lounge in Goldwick. The room number was

888, so Nicole figured that it was a big private room.

Nicole stayed at home and waited until the time had passed 8 o’clock before she wore a jacket and headed out.

Perhaps the sky seemed to be foggy due to the fine rain.

Nicole drove to the location and could hear a noisy atmosphere the moment she stepped into the lounge. She

frowned uncomfortably as she never had any liking for bustling places.

After enquiring from a waiter the way to Room No.888, she headed to the room.

It was a huge private room. When she walked in, red and blue spot lights were flashing in the room, and she

couldn’t recognize the other guests at all because the room was very dark.

“Hi, Ms. Lisa, welcome. I thought you couldn’t make it.” Joanna stood up the moment Nicole walked in.

“I rushed over after I finished settling my stuff, but I’m still late. Sorry about that,” Nicole replied politely.

Besides the staff from Design Department, there were a few other people in the room whom she had not met

before.

“I’m glad you’re here. We have been waiting for you.” Thereafter, Joanna introduced a few individuals to Nicole.

“This is Mr. Stanley Larry, the manager of Finance Department. This is Mr. Shaun Geller, the deputy manager of

Human Resource Department. And this is Mr. Henry Cooper from Logistics Department. ”

Nicole had not met the first two people, so she merely wore a courteous smile while Joanna introduced them.

However, there was an obvious change in her expression when it came to Henry’s turn.

She lifted her eyes to look at the man sitting at the corner of the couch. Although he appeared to have aged slightly

as compared to five years ago, there was not much change in his appearance.

Perceiving Nicole’s gaze, Henry also shifted his gaze toward Nicole and feigned a shocked look upon recognizing

her. He parted his lips and called out softly, “Nicole?”

Nicole wore a rueful smile as she had never thought she would bump into Henry by coincidence. Feeling a lump

rising in her throat, she nodded at Henry and greeted him. “Hey, Henry.”

Meanwhile, Joanna pretended to only have discovered that the two were acquaintances. “Lisa, do you know Henry?

What a coincidence!” she exclaimed in surprise.

“We’re ex-classmates,” Nicole explained and slowly walked up to Henry.

Five years ago, they had dated for almost a year. Initially, she thought they would be together for the lifetime, but

she ended up breaking up with him resolutely for the sake of her mother. As such, she had always felt guilty toward

him.

Henry’s dark eyes flickered upon seeing Nicole sitting next to him.

Truth was, he was a normal staff member in the Logistics Department. Queenie came to him and offered to

promote him to team leader as long as he agreed to embarrass Nicole.
