Misunderstood
Floyd persuaded Nicole earnestly.
“It’s just a meal. I won’t be able to explain it to Hamilton’s father if you don’t invite Hamilton over.”
Nicole pursed her lips and felt helpless.
“Fine, I’ll bring him back for lunch.”
Floyd was delighted. “Okay. I’ll ask Mr. Anderson to prepare more food!”
Nicole hung up the phone, smiled, and shook her head.
She called Hamilton, who picked up the call. “President, do you need me to work on the weekend?”
“No. My dad wants to invite you over for a meal. You can refuse if you already have plans.”
“I don’t have plans. It’ll be too rude to refuse. I’ll go over right away.”
Hamilton agreed happily.
Nicole frowned.
Did young people nowadays not know what embarrassment and avoidance was?
How could he agree so happily when having a meal with someone’s parent was so boring?
Nicole could not comprehend.
Julie also received an invitation to the family banquet. She called Nicole.
“Dad is probably too bored. Grant and Aida are still in the hospital, and Kai always provokes him, so
Dad misses you all. By the way, you haven’t told the family about Clayton?”
Nicole was silent for a moment. “No.”
“What’s the matter? You two haven’t talked it out yet? This is so weird. You two are such a loving
couple, so there shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a good thing that he’s back. Why are you suddenly acting
so strange?”
Julie asked a series of questions. “I was so anxious yesterday that I scolded him because his staff fed
Chatty the candy. He won’t hold a grudge against me, right?”
Nicole curled her lips. “No. He didn’t take good care of his daughter, so he deserves to be scolded. I
would’ve yelled at him too.”
Julie sighed. “You guys… I don’t know why you two have to be so awkward with each other. You’re
married, so you should talk openly.”
Nicole was silent. She was also frustrated about this.
Julie knew that Nicole did not want to talk about this, so she suddenly mentioned Hamilton.
“By the way, is that young hunk interested in you? Otherwise, why would he agree to come over for
lunch?”
Nicole pursed her lips and immediately denied it.
“Absolutely not.”
“Don’t underestimate your charm, Ms. Stanton! Have confidence in yourself! ”
Nicole had no choice but to say confidently, “Don’t worry. I can still tell whether someone likes me or
not. If he’s really interested in me, I would’ve transferred him to another department long ago. I only
kept him around because I knew he didn’t have feelings for me.”
Julie laughed. “Then why would he come for lunch? You told him that he can refuse. Only a fool won’t
take that hint!”
Nicole paused for a second.
“To be honest, I think Hamilton is a bit silly!”
Although it was not right to talk badly about someone behind their backs, Nicole truly felt this.
The two ladies were chatting happily when Nicole received a call from Logan.
“President, there’s something urgent at the office that you have to attend to.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Nicole hung up the phone and sent a message to Hamilton, asking him to stop by to pick up Chatty and
Fischer.
After all, Hamilton was her assistant.
Hamilton replied in seconds. [Okay! ] 1
Nicole told Mrs. Zoe that she could send the children downstairs when Hamilton arrived.
Then, Nicole went to the office.
There was a slight problem in the tech department.
When Nicole went, everyone in the tech department was there.
Logan briefly told Nicole about the situation. Everyone’s expression was gloomy.
“The couple’s vacation event this time was a marketing gimmick, but the package price of a week-long
vacation was mistakenly stated as $999.90 instead of $9999. At present, thirty thousand people have
paid for the package. After we found out, we closed the payment channel with server failure as an
excuse. Our online promotion is expected to lose $100 million this time, excluding our early advertising
costs. More importantly, we might lose our target market for this high-end resort because of this low
price…”
Nicole’s heart gradually turned cold.
She finally knew why the staff was not in the mood to enjoy their weekend.
This couple’s vacation promotion was one of the main events of Stanton Corporation. They had put in a
lot of investment for the initial advertising and publicity costs. The event also gained a lot of traction on
the internet.
Due to a small mistake, their hard work was wasted.
How could they be in a good mood?
The director of the design department also sat there with a livid face and was still fuming.
A pale-faced employee stood next to him, terrified.
Nicole had never seen this employee before, but Nicole guessed that she was probably the one who
made the mistake.
“I… I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I have a bit of a fever today, so I was groggy and posted it without
reviewing the content…”
The girl was wearing black-rimmed glasses, and she was shivering in fear.
The director of the design department stood up angrily, pointed at her, and reprimanded her.
“Are you stupid? Or are you a spy from our rival company? You cost us $100 million. You’re not even
worth $100 million! Didn’t I tell you to stay at home if you’re sick? If you come to work, you should bring
your brain! Do you think a simple apology can cancel out the loss of the company? Everyone in the
company has to pay for your mistake. The company has the right to sue you and make you pay for this
money. You’ll lose everything!”
The design director’s face was flushed as he pointed at the employee and cursed at her.
The employee was frightened and burst into tears.
Nicole was also upset because this was a big loss.
Everyone in the office was staring at them.
Nicole took a deep breath, looked at the design director, and said, “ Let’s start the meeting first.”
She turned and left because she would not yell and curse at the employee like that design director.
Nicole had to come up with a solution to recover their losses.
The design director hurriedly beckoned for the staff to follow Nicole upstairs.
Nicole called Floyd and told him that she would be late for lunch before she went into the meeting
room.
In the meeting room, the heads of various departments were waiting there. They knew that this was a
serious issue, so they looked serious.
Nicole took a deep breath, looked at the design director, and said, “ How are the comments online?”
“Everyone knows that there’s a problem with our system. Those who have successfully paid won’t want
a refund, and the media is also keeping an eye on it. President, if we force a refund on the grounds that
it’s a system error, we can at least recover the losses even though it’ll tarnish our reputation
temporarily.”
The head of the public relations department also nodded.
“But our company image will be damaged, and it may affect the product release and promotion next
year.”
Another person in charge said impatiently, “Then what should we do? We can’t possibly absorb those
losses, right?”
