Chapter 2611

“Mr. Ellison is waiting in the reception room,” Nicole’s assistant replied.

Nicole entered the reception room and saw Harvey leaning on the couch leisurely, eyeing everything inside.

Sensing a presence, Harvey turned and saw Nicole. He put on a fake smile, stood up, and acted like a gentleman. “We meet again, Ms. Riddle.”

“Nice to meet you,” Nicole said indifferently, keeping a strictly professional demeanor.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

The assistant brought coffee into the room.

“Mr. Ellison, have some coffee,” said Nicole, gesturing in that direction. Then, she sat down and invited Harvey to do the same. “Since Mr. Ellison is present here, shall we talk about the joint venture factory?”

“Well, there’s no rush in that,” said Harvey. His purpose here had nothing to do with discussing the joint venture.

Compared to losing a factory, he felt it was more important to build a closer relationship with Nicole.

Shocked, Nicole raised her brows and asked, “Well, I have no idea what else there is to discuss, if not the factory. Unless you changed your mind?”

With a pause, Nicole pretended to grasp the situation and said, “If you regret the decision to join ventures, I could purchase the factory on my own.”

Harvey’s smile twitched, and he said helplessly, “Alright then. Do you have any opinions or suggestions for the joint venture?”

“I suggest you withdraw from the venture. Would you agree to that?” Nicole said indifferently.

Harvey could hardly maintain his composure. He gritted his teeth and pretended to stay calm. “This is something I cannot satisfy. It’s done, and it can’t be simply changed.”

“I’m just saying. I also believe it’d be difficult to amend the contract’s terms,”

Nicole replied nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders. She did not expect Harvey to agree to her suggestion in the first place. After all, if Harvey agreed to Nicole’s suggestion, he would not have done those dirty tricks and signed the contract.

“It’s my honor to collaborate with you. I hope our future cooperation will be smooth and pleasant.” Harvey faked a smile and extended a hand for Nicole to shake.

Nicole coldly glanced at Harvey. “Well, that depends on you, Mr. Ellison.” She then called for her assistant. “Please see Mr. Ellison out.”

Her assistant promptly entered and escorted Harvey out, saying, “This way please, Mr. Ellison.”

“We shall meet again.” Harvey smirked and left.

Once Harvey left, Patricia entered the office. “Ms. Riddle…” Nicole explained, “Don’t worry. He just came to validate his presence.”

Nicole did not even try to be polite. After all, she was happy that she irritated Harvey.

“What about the collaboration in the future?” Patricia asked. Harvey had his intentions for the joint venture. Thus, the collaboration might be trickier than expected.

“It’s alright. He’s the one who wants the collaboration.” Nicole smirked. “Have you prepared the things I requested?”

“All set,” Patricia informed.

“Then it’s time for action,” Nicole said meaningfully while looking out the window.

“Alright.”

A faint smile appeared on Nicole’s face as she thought,’ Harvey, you’re the one who wanted the collaboration. As for how pleasant the collaboration will be, it’ll depend on your definition of pleasant. But I certainly hope you enjoy this.’

Meanwhile, Harvey exited the Riddle Corporation building and hopped into his car.

“How was it, Mr. Ellison?” his assistant asked.

“Just start the car,” Harvey said depressingly. Sensing Harvey’s desolation, his assistant followed his orders and stopped talking.
