"Don't worry about what happened, just tell me where I can see that woman?"
Nicole's tone wasn't very good.
Samuel was silent.
"Talk to me."
The longer Samuel was silent, the more scared Nicole was.
She couldn't help but tremble at the thought of the woman's death just now.
"Just now, a female body was found here, and it was sunk into the sea before. Do you know what I
saw?"
"Nicole, come back if you're scared. I'll send a helicopter to pick you up."
Samuel finally spoke.
Nicole's heart ached inexplicably.
"Did you do it?"
"No."
Samuel replied indifferently.
He didn't do it.
He was not lying.
Nicole held her phone and remained silent for a long time, only hearing each other's breathing sounds.
She didn't know what to say, but in the end, she said, "I should go. I'm tired. Go back to sleep."
Then she hung up the phone.
However, Nicole felt that her body was cold.
She knew what kind of person Samuel was the most. The relationship between them was not strong
enough to make Samuel cheat on her. If Nicole didn't see the woman's body, perhaps she wouldn't
have thought so much about it, but now she couldn't help but think about it.
She didn't know how she walked home, but her mind was filled with everything that had happened
during this period.
Nicole suddenly realized what Samuel was hiding something.
What was he trying to hide?
If that woman was just seducing him, he didn't have to hide it. But he did it anyway. Did it mean that
there was a secret that Samuel did not want her to know? And this woman happened to know about it.
Nicole only felt a splitting headache.
She simply emptied her mind and directly fell asleep in bed.
She dreamt of a woman chasing after her. The woman was covered with blood, so scary that she
screamed and woke up. Then, she couldn't sleep.
It was still dark outside.
Nicole was sleepless.
Olivia wasn't around, so she couldn't help but feel lonely and cold.
Nicole got up and started to prepare for the filmmaking company.
Now that the registered capital was not in place, she needed to work it out. Then she had to find an
office. She couldn't start a company at home, could she?
Nicole took out her phone and looked at the rental page on it. She searched one by one, and
unknowingly, it was dawn.
The news of the sunk female body yesterday was all over.
Nicole felt as if her heart was blocked, so she directly left the rented house and went to the bustling
area to find an office.
She looked around but didn't find a suitable one.
It was almost noon, and Nicole felt a little tired. She found a snack bar and sat down. Just as she
ordered a bowl of wonton, she saw Ashley walking over.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here."
Ashley sat down and asked the restaurateur for a bowl of wonton either.
Nicole was a little surprised.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm too lazy to go to work today. I just came out to walk around and happened to see you here. It's
your treat today."
Ashley said with a smile.
Nicole smiled and said, "Alright, it's just a bowl of wonton. I can afford it."
"Thank you."
The two of them chatted happily and started to eat.
Actually, the food by the road tasted delicious.
Nicole had no appetite for more than a month, but she had taken two bowls here.
"Looks like you can come here more in the future. You seem to like the food here."
"Yes, it's quite good."
Nicole made a conclusion.
"What are you doing here?"
Ashley wiped her mouth and asked.
Nicole sighed and said, "Looking for an office. I can't start a filmmaking company without a decent
office."
"Did you have enough registered capital?"
Nicole paused slightly.
"How do you know about that?"
"Don't forget I introduced Ian to you. How can I not know how much the registered capital is? How
much are you short of?"
Ashley's words made Nicole sigh.
"I'm still short of eight million."
"Take it."
Ashley pushed a bank card to Nicole.
Nicole was stunned.
"You've already given me money."
"Can you count me as a shareholder? Originally, it was two million. Adding eight million now, it would
be just right for us to take half of the shares."
Ashley smiled faintly.
Nicole suddenly felt warm in her heart.
"You're embarrassing me."
"Don't tell me you're afraid that the filmmaking company will make too much money and you have to
share too much profits with me."
"Don't be silly."
"Then take it. Anyway, you need it now."
These words made Nicole stop refusing.
She held the bank card in her hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Ashley."
"You're welcome. Don't wander around by yourself about finding an office. It's not helping. Wait for me
to narrow down the offices around and send the list to you later. Then you can just choose one."
Ashley's words made Nicole somewhat grateful.
"Isn't that too troublesome for you? I have nothing else to do anyway, so I just wander around."
"It's right to wander around. After all, your body has just recovered. You need to walk around, but don't
be too tired. Also, after you start a filmmaking company, how would you recruit your employees? From
the talent market?"
Ashley looked at Nicole and asked subconsciously.
Only then did Nicole realize that starting a company was not an easy work.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll consider the talent market as a choice."
Ashley sighed and said, "Ms. Miller, are you going to the talent market to recruit people for the
filmmaking company? You don't expect to sign up actors from the talent market, don't you?"
Nicole was a little embarrassed.
She didn't know anything about it.
Originally, she thought that Samuel would run the company well, but now that after everything
happened to them, she naturally had to do everything on her own.
Seeing her like this, Ashley knew that she didn't know anything about starting a company.
She sighed and said, "Well, I have a friend who is good at company management, and if you can trust
me, leave these things to my friend. I promise that things will be done. What do you think of it?"
"That will be great."
Nicole was immediately happy.
Ashley looked at her with smile on her face. She shook her head and laughed, "See, I think you want
me to help you, don't you?"
"Tell me about it. Ashley, it's good to have you."
Nicole hugged Ashley tightly.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Ashley brought Nicole to meet a woman named Daisy
Bridges.
She was a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties. She looked very smart and capable on the first
sight.
Compared to her, Nicole felt that she was simply an idiot.
"Hello, my name is Nicole. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Daisy Bridges. You can call me Daisy."
Daisy shook hands with Nicole.
Ashley said indifferently, "Nicole is my best friend. She wants to start a filmmaking company, but she
doesn't have much experience on it. You can help her with it."
"Sure, but I have to charge you. Nicole, why don't you hire me as the director? I can help you take care
of these things."
Daisy's words were simply timely to Nicole.
"Great, but the salary..."
"The company has just started. I won't charge a lot. Just as the average salary in the market. What do
you think of it?"
Daisy seemed sincere and Nicole was naturally happy about it.
After the two of them exchanged phone numbers, Ashley had finished her job.
"Alright then. I'm afraid I must leave you here. I have an operation this afternoon. I should go first. Call
me if you need anything."
"Alright, thank you."
Nicole felt that Ashley was simply her savior.
After Ashley left, she got into the car, took out her phone and called Samuel directly.
"I've already given her the money that you want me to hand over to Nicole in my name. Also, I've
introduced Daisy to her as well. If there's anything else in the future, can you do it yourself? When will
you stop acting like two children?"
"Thank you."
Samuel said indifferently.
Ashley knew that he didn't want to say anything more. She sighed and said, "Did you just give me eight
million? If this filmmaking company makes money, are you really going to give me the share?"
"Yes, considered it as a thank-you gift to you."
"How generous you are. However, I'm wondering what such a generous man would keep from Nicole.
Whatever the secret is, do you think it's worth it to let you end up like this?"
Ashley's words made Samuel somewhat silent.
"It's better for you to stop asking."
"Alright, forget about it."
Ashley was about to hang up when she heard Samuel ask, "How is her body?"
"It looks okay, but she's not in a good mood. I'm afraid she's suffering from depression, but it seems not
bad now. We will see. If you really care about her, why don't you come over and see her yourself?"
"No, she doesn't want to see me."
Samuel hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Ashley was speechless.
Daisy helped Nicole to familiarize herself with the process of opening the filmmaking company.
Compared to Nicole, Daisy was very clear about everything, which made Nicole envious.
"You're amazing. Why do you know everything?"
"I just have more experience than you."
Daisy smiled faintly.
With Daisy's help, Nicole's filmmaking company had a good start. On the opening day, Daisy even
poached an actor who already had a reputation from somewhere to sign.
This was also the first actor that Nicole signed.
Since Daisy said that she would personally train the actor, Nicole naturally did not object.
During this period, she also read a lot of books about this. She lived a full life every day. It was so busy
that she did not have time to think about things with Samuel.
Three months passed instantly.
Nicole's filmmaking company began to take shape. There were five or six contracted actors and two
superstars. It made Nicole admire Daisy's ability.
At the company celebration, Nicole looked at Daisy, who was exquisite at the party. Suddenly, she
raised her glass and said to her, "Daisy, thank you. And thank him for me."
"Him? Who are you talking about?"
Daisy was slightly stunned, but looking at Nicole's clear gaze, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
