Chapter 2580: Chapter 2589: Acting Like He Barely Knows Her
Another uproar erupted in the office.
A few junior artists gathered together, discussing in surprise.
"Emma, turns out they know each other."
"Judging by the Queen of Acting Nicole’s tone, they seem very familiar with each other. Envious."
"Both with the last name Oliver, could they be relatives?"
"Probably not. If they were, August Oliver’s fame would’ve already uncovered it. It’s likely just a coincidence. If sharing a surname means being relatives, then as a Zhang, everyone would be my relatives."
"The Queen of Acting Nicole is so fortunate. Even if they’re not relatives, their relationship means she won’t lack work resources in the future. We’re the pitiful ones, needing to re-network with the company executives. A new President means new favorites. Where can I possibly have the luck to manage the company executives and obtain more work resources?"
"It’s not you who should be worried, it’s Catherine and her group. When the previous President was around, they were so favored. Work resources flooded in. Now the President has changed, they’re the ones really panicking."
"True, anyways, I’m just a small fry."
Lena listened to the discussions, gritting her teeth tightly, staring angrily at Nicole Oliver’s back as if looking at an enemy.
Damn it, how did August Oliver become the new President!
Nicole Oliver seems to have filmed an ad with August before, somehow she got in first. That shameless woman!
"Are you doing okay now? I thought about calling you but worried that you might be busy with things after just having returned. It’s really great to see you today." Nicole Oliver raised her head, her cold face full of concern. It was hard to tell if her worry was genuine or just excellent acting; she seemed so sincere, not fake at all.
August Oliver’s peripheral vision caught her clutching his hand. He furrowed his brow slightly, pausing for a few seconds upon seeing Nicole’s face, like recalling something, suppressing his impatience in his gaze.
Nicole Oliver’s heart raced with anxiety, fearing he wouldn’t show her respect.
But August just looked at her for a few seconds, his thin lips moved, "I’m good."
Nicole Oliver’s suspended heart finally settled, with good judgment, she released his hand, stepped back two paces, with a tearful yet smiling expression, "Look at me, I got so excited I forgot our surroundings. You go ahead and work, I’ll wait till you’re free, let’s plan for a meal together."
"Okay."
Upon hearing his response, Nicole Oliver beamed with satisfaction, returning to her seat elegantly.
She seemed the same, but her aura had transformed, becoming cooler, less approachable...
Everyone had witnessed August Oliver’s courteous response to her and his agreement to her invitation. After that, when looking at Nicole Oliver, eyes brimmed with admiration and awe.
Just by revealing this connection, Nicole Oliver and her group became untouchable.
Olivia Lewis remained unchanged, not expressing much surprise at their acquaintance. She just looked at the man entering, watching August Oliver in a well-tailored suit, ascend to the President’s top seat. Beside him stood a man resembling a secretary, wearing golden glasses, with an aura of severity, evidently someone not to be trifled with.
During the whole process, August didn’t spare her a glance, as if they were strangers, completely different from the man drunk outside her house yesterday morning.
Soon, August took his seat, surveying everyone in the office, his handsome face stern and coldly announcing, "I’m here today to simply inform you that the company has a new owner. The rules you favored previously won’t apply with me. I’ll establish new rules."
