Chapter 2809
After leaving the restaurant, Lulu burst into laughter. "Did you see that, Nicole? The expression on Harvey's face was absolutely priceless." "Those executives didn't look too pleased either," June added.
Though she did not know the specifics, she knew enough to infer that Harvey was trying to make things difficult for Nicole.
"They were just feeling very awkward. It's fine. It won't affect our partnerships with them," Lulu explained.
Upon hearing this, June nodded in understanding and smiled. "That's good, then."
June understood the situation. Nicole and her team were collaborating with the executives, and coincidentally, Harvey had also invited them out, wanting to work with them. Hence, the meeting had taken a very awkward turn.
"Alright, let's all go home and get some sleep." "Goodbye everyone."
After bidding each other their round of farewells, everyone got into their cars and left the restaurant.
Just as Nicole and Jared were about to leave, the car suddenly came to a halt.
"What is Harvey up to?" Max said, sounding very displeased.
Looking up, Nicole noticed that Harvey was standing in the way of their car, obstructing them. If Max had not floored the brakes, Harvey would have been injured.
The little stunt he pulled left Nicole wondering if Harvey had a death wish. But even if he did, the last thing she wanted was to be held responsible for his death.
"Get out of the car, Nicole!" Harvey shouted as he came over to the window and knocked on it.
She rolled the window down, and in a tone of cold indifference, she told him, "I don't have anything to say to you." "Harvey actually thought I'll get out of the car just because he asked. Gosh, the entitlement of this dude. Who does he think he is?' she thought.
"Your little scheme worked well, I see," Harvey said, infuriated.
The one thing he dreaded, and the last thing he had expected was that he would not be able to salvage the current situation even after he had approached the executives personally.
"Strength and intelligence are essential in business," Nicole said, remaining calm.
Upon recalling the amount of humiliation he had suffered today, Harvey could not stand it any longer. He did not want to see his assistant anymore, not even for a second longer.
"Yes, I'll leave now," his assistant ran away at once, feeling a strange sense of relief while he did.
With the assistant gone, Harvey's mood worsened.
"Get out of my way. Get lost!" Harvey threw a tantrum.
In a fit of rage, he kicked a car parked next to him, setting off its alarm.
The blaring of the alarm startled him. Just as he was about to berate the car as well, his assistant returned and quickly pulled him onto their vehicle before speeding away.
"Mr. Ellison! Please don't act impulsively," he said in an attempt to console Harvey.
"Don't bother me. Didn't I tell you to leave?" Harvey responded, his voice cold and low.
