Chereads / Dangerous Scandal / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Nichole couldn't stop hugging Miley because she was so happy. Nichole had been thinking about this all night. It turned out that she could get Nathan to go live.

News on the internet about the rumors was slowly covered by news of the clarifications that had been made. Slowly the public began to believe that there was no special relationship between Nichole and Nathan.

Even so, Nichole is also aware that there are still people who do not believe in their clarification. But as long as Nichole doesn't meet those people, she will be fine.

"Here's some coffee for you, Nichole." Miley handed Nichole a cup of coffee. "You've worked hard."

"Do you think I should give something to our chief as a thank you for helping me?" Nichole asked.

"I don't think so. You've already said thank you earlier. Besides, he also wants you to repay his help with your hard work."

Nichole looked down at her coffee, "It's better not to."

Everyone on duty began to tidy up the room as Nathan's secretary informed them that this room would be used for a meeting with a client. The room used for the live broadcast was a large meeting room on the top floor of the company, opposite Nathan's office. The room was chosen based on Nathan's suggestion.

"I'm gonna go to his office to tell him about the script I picked," Nichole said. "Where's the script?"

"So which one do you choose?" asked Miley curiously.

Nichole pointed to a manuscript with a dark blue cover. "I chose this one."

"Are you serious, Nichole? That's an action movie script." Miley pointed at the cover of the script Nichole had chosen.

"So what if I chose action? I like to try new things and get out of my comfort zone. There's nothing wrong with exploring my acting skills since I'm a new actress."

"You're right, whatever it is, I support you. You must have made up your mind. Sorry for doubting you."

Nichole patted Miley's shoulder. " Relax Miley. Sometimes I need questions like that to reinforce my choices," Nichole replied.

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need, I can go by myself. It'll only take a minute anyway. His secretary said he has a meeting, right?"

"Good luck." Miley encouraged Nichole.

There was a good reason why Nichole chose an action movie even though her first career started with fantasy movies. Nichole already knew the direction of her career, so she wanted to strengthen it through action movies. And maybe some movies in the future, she will choose the genre of action again.

Nichole chose a career as an actress not to be in a comfort zone. Instead, with a career as an actress, Nichole has stepped out of her comfort zone. She comes from a family of businessmen but chose a different path.

Nichole's hand was ready to open the door in front of her. A black door with a gold-colored doorknob, it truly represented Nathan.

As Nichole pulled on the door handle, Nathan also pushed the door. Luckily Nichole was able to keep her balance well, so she didn't fall.

"What's wrong, Nichole?" asked Nathan in a cold voice.

"I've made my choice. I chose an action movie." Nichole handed the script she chose to Nathan.

"Ah right here, you can give the script to my secretary."

Without another word, Nathan waltzed away towards the meeting room. Soon after, Nathan's secretary approached Nichole.

"Sorry, Mr. Nathan is busy. I'll keep the manuscript and get back to you."

"Thank you," Nichole said with a smile.

To be honest, Nichole really wanted to hit the manuscript at Nathan because of his cold attitude. But Nichole preferred to hold back her anger.

"Hey, what's with the look on your face? You were cheerful before," Miley commented.

"I forgot to put my mask on. I'm just upset with someone."

"I think I know who you mean."

They both got into the lift. Nichole needed to buy some things to go to Germany. She could not ask Miley or anyone else to buy these things.

Nichole decided to drive the car, while Miley accompanied her in the passenger seat. She was in charge of making Nichole not sleepy.

It took 15 minutes to arrive at the destination. It was a small drugstore squeezed between the large buildings on the side.

"Are you sick, Nichole?" asked Miley. She was surprised that Nichole took her to a drugstore instead of a mall or other shopping place.

"I am perfectly healthy. I just have some business here," Nichole replied.

Before going out, Nichole wore a mask and also a scarf to cover her neck from the cold air outside. The fall season was the most effective at giving Nichole a cold.

The drugstore door opened and revealed a room full of medicine. The pharmacist knew that the customer was her loyal customer, Nichole.

The smell of Nichole's perfume and the stomp of her shoes had been memorized by the owner of this drugstore. No wonder that even before seeing the person, he could already recognize that it was Nichole.

"Looks like there are new items coming, right?" asked Nichole as she saw a pile of boxes in front of the medicine cabinet.

"Your eyes are very observant, Nichole. No wonder you're as successful as you are now." The owner of the drugstore was a pharmacist who had retired from the hospital and run a pharmacy business for decades.

It was Nichole's family's regular drugstore. Although the place was small, it was well-stocked. Most importantly, Nichole's family didn't have to worry about their family prescriptions leaking out because they were bought by people who wanted to destroy them. The drugstore owner had considered Nichole as family as well.

As a family of successful businessmen, this kind of thing is necessary because of the fierce competition. Especially medicine was important, so Nichole should really be able to keep this place a secret.

"Thank you for the compliment. Is my order in?"

The pharmacist took out Nichole's order from one month ago. "This is the item you ordered."

"Can I ask you to send it to this address?" Nichole handed over an address on a piece of paper.

"Are you going to Germany?"

"Yes, it's a few days away. I'm going to Germany for a few days."

Nichole's order transaction was done quickly and confidentially. After everything was done, Nichole returned to the car.

It seemed that Miley was so exhausted that she overslept. But Nichole could understand because as a manager who doubles as a personal assistant, the job is certainly not easy.

Nichole took her car away from the area.

On the way, at a red light, Nichole accidentally looked to the side. Someone opened his car window and showed Nichole a paper.

The paper had a threatening note on it and Nichole's name was clearly written on it.

"How did he know this was my car?"

When the light turned green, Nichole hit the gas hard. She hoped that by doing so, the person who had threatened her would lose the trail.

However, he was still following Nichole's car. Forced Nichole not to choose the road to the penthouse, but in the other direction.

"Miley! Wake up!"

Miley woke up to Nichole's shout. "What? Why?"

"Someone is following us. I don't know how he knew this car was mine. But he's making threats," Nichole explained.

Miley looked behind her and there was indeed a car following them. "Then what about this? I'll call someone."

Before Miley could call someone to help them, the stalker car had already overtaken Nichole's car. So Nichole was forced to brake suddenly.

"You're okay right? Don't come out no matter what threats he makes," Nichole warned Miley.

Nichole gripped the steering wheel tightly. The best thing was to call the police so they could get protection.
