Chapter 2718

“Are these for Mr. Ellison?’ “Who would send so many flowers to him?”

While everyone was busy discussing the flowers, the men carrying the bouquets unexpectedly stopped in front of Nicole and handed them to her.

As Nicole could not hold all the flower bouquets on her own, she asked Lulu for help.

“What’s going on?” Lulu whispered.

Nicole shook her head, saying, “I have no clue.”

Then, a thought crossed Nicole’s mind. ‘Could it be from Harvey? Since everyone is here to congratulate Ellison Group, nobody else would dare to send me flowers on this occasion. Such frivolous extravaganza is something only Harvey would typically do.’ “Thank you for coming to our annual celebration, Nicole. Your presence truly graces our celebration, so here is a little token of my appreciation. I hope you like it,” Harvey announced as he sauntered into the venue.

“So it is Harvey’s gift to Nicole.”

But why did Harvey give Nicole presents?”

As expected, the murmurs and whispers among the guests reached Nicole and Lulu’s ears in short order.

“Harvey is such a bastard. He insisted that you show up, and here he is, doing this on purpose,” Lulu grumbled.

Nicole snorted. “Clearly, that’s what he is doing.”

“That damn Harvey. He is actually making a mockery of his own company’s annual event.” Lulu muttered in frustration under her breath.

“The fact that you’re silent must mean that you like the flowers,” Harvey gloated as he approached Nicole.

Nicole’s eyes flashed with a hint of cold fury as she responded, “If I said I do not like it, will you get someone to take the flowers back?”

‘How could I possibly like this? He’s clearly asking a question he has the answer to,’ she fumed.

Harvey froze for a moment, but he maintained his smile. “It’s a token of appreciation for you, so it’s up to you to decide what to do with them.”

In other words, Harvey was saying that he would not take back the gifts he had given.

Recognizing Harvey’s intention, Nicole nodded and said,” Alright then.”

Nicole swept her gaze across the crowd and landed on a group of young women, who were seemingly employees of Ellison Group.

“Lulu, please hand them the flowers,” Nicole said.

Though she was not loud, everyone had heard what she just said.

“Sure thing,” Lulu replied promptly, and went off to do as Nicole had instructed.

Within moments, Lulu handed the bouquets over to the young employees.

However, the employees’ expressions became complex as they received the flowers.

The flowers were lovely, but the fact remained that they were supposed to be Harvey’s gift to Nicole.

They were afraid that they would be fired after receiving them. As they held the flowers, the women had no idea what to do with them.

“There’s no need to thank me. You should thank Mr. Ellison instead,” Nicole said, her tone casual after she had noticed the unease on the women’s faces.

“Don’t mention it,” Harvey said dismissively.

After that, the women breathed a sigh of relief and said,” Thank you, Mr. Ellison and Ms. Riddle.”

They did not dare to pass the flowers they were holding to someone else.

Thanks to Nicole, however, Harvey would not be able to hold them responsible for it.
