Chapter 956: Encounter with Nicole Cooper
Chapter 956: Encounter with Nicole Cooper
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sheldon, Harold, Sadie, Sabrina and the rest had just reached the entrance of the hotel when they saw a man running out in a hurry.
When the man saw Harold and Sheldon, he hurriedly called out softly, “Mr. Phiillips, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Let’s go in!”
“Willard, thanks for helping out!”
Sheldon looked at the man and smiled faintly.
The man in front of everyone was Willard Ferguson, and Willard’s father was the general manager of this hotel.
Sheldon had a good relationship with Willard, so he contacted Willard and wanted to enter the party through the back door.
Logically speaking, whether it was Sheldon, Harold, or Sabrina, their families were all qualified to attend this party. However, only the elders in their family were qualified to attend, while juniors like Sheldon and Harold were not qualified to attend the party.
Willard exchanged a simple greeting with Harold and Sheldon, then said with an awkward expression, “Mr. Phiillips, there’s something I have to tell the two of you…”
“What is it?”
Sheldon was stunned for a moment and asked in a puzzled tone.
“I put in a lot of effort to get my dad to allow you to enter the party, but you don’t have an invitation, so you can’t go through the main entrance. We have to enter through the staff passageway. As long as we enter the hall of the party, no one will ask about your identity…”
Willard explained apologetically.
“Isn’t it just a party? Is there a need to be so strict?”
Harold seemed to be a little dissatisfied. After all, his current status was not low. He was still very dissatisfied about having to use the back door.
“Mr. Phiillips, there are a lot of bosses attending this banquet. Basically, all the famous bosses from the four provinces are here. Any one of them is worth tens of billions…”
Willard replied with a helpless expression, then continued, “Previously, Mr. Morgan set the standard where those with a net worth of less than one billion dollars are not qualified to enter. However, our hotel lobby can only accommodate a max of 1,000 people. There are just too many people, so the standard has been set at 10 billion dollars minimum. It’s already a miracle you guys are able to enter. Many people beg my father but aren’t able to get in still.”
“More than ten billion?”
Yara couldn’t help but take a deep breath when she heard that. She was extremely shocked.
Yara’s family had at most one billion in assets. If what Willard said was true, then Yara’s parents were not qualified to enter.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying the level of the party today was. This was a circle that ordinary people might not be able to fit into even if they worked hard for ten lifetimes.
After hearing Willard’s explanation, Harold did not say anything else.
“Let’s go in!”
Sheldon said.
“Alright, follow me this way…”
Willard nodded and led Sheldon and the others to the staff passage.
A moment later, Sabrina, Sheldon, Harold, Sadie, and the rest entered the hotel lobby. At this moment, the lobby was already filled with people. Each of these people had an extraordinary bearing and gave off the feeling that they were not ordinary people.
These people had also formed small circles and were chatting with one another. The content of the conversations was all about business matters.
After all, this kind of party was the best opportunity for the bosses to expand their social circle.
When Sheldon, Harold, and the others saw this scene, they were naturally very envious.
However, they knew that it would take a long time for them to integrate into this circle because they did not even have the right to talk to these people. Even their parents were just the most ordinary existences in front of these people.
Everyone scanned the environment in the hall, then walked to the dining table in the corner and talked while they ate.
In fact, they came here today mainly to broaden their horizons and see who the so-called Davenport’s Mr. McDonald was. Therefore, even if they couldn’t be part of the party, it didn’t matter.
…
On the other side, when Connor saw Sheldon, Harold, and the others enter the hotel, he was also about to walk into the hotel.
“Connor?”
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Connor.
When Connor heard this voice, he could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he hurriedly turned around and realized that it was the beautiful president that Connor had saved back then, Nicole Cooper.
At this moment, Nicole had just come out of her car. When she saw Connor turn around, she seemed to be even more surprised. She did not expect to bump into Connor here, so she hurriedly walked toward Connor in her high heels.
Nicole was dressed very beautifully today. She was wearing a short white dress. Her tall figure looked especially charming under the short dress. Her slender and fair legs were exposed to the air without reservation. She was also wearing a pair of black high heels. Her pretty face and her black curly hair gave people indescribable temptation.
When Connor saw Nicole, he was somewhat surprised. He could not understand why Nicole would be here.
However, on second thought, the main purpose of holding this party today was to let everyone know that Connor was going to win the subway project. Nicole was a competitor for this project, so it was normal for her to come to the party today.
“Nicole, long time no see!”
Connor said to Nicole with a smile.
“Yeah, I haven’t seen you for such a long time. What have you been busy with recently?”
Nicole asked happily.
“I’m not busy with anything. I’m mainly attending classes in school…”
Connor replied perfunctorily. Then, he sized up Nicole and asked softly, “Nicole, is your leg all healed?”
“Yeah…”
Nicole nodded and continued, “You’re not here to attend the party, are you?”
“Uh…”
Connor was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes, I’m here to attend the party!”
“That’s great. I’m a little bored being here alone. Let’s go in together!”
Nicole took the initiative to tug at Connor.
Connor looked at Nicole helplessly and did not say anything. He followed Nicole directly to the hotel entrance.
However, when Connor arrived at the entrance of the hotel, he suddenly realized a very serious problem.
He did not have an invitation!
