The CEO Gets What He Wants

Nicole gently placed the mushroom soup she had made on Cayden's table and greeted softly, “Mr. Moore.”

Mother said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

Of course, Nicole didn't know how to cook, not even mushroom soup. However, her adoptive mother, Claire, was a

good cook.

Cayden turned around, and his magnificent and exquisite looks almost blinded her eyes.

It was undeniable that he was an extremely handsome man. His handsomeness didn't only stem from his good

looks but also his mature and composed disposition.

Despite his young appearance, he had a majestic aura that was natural and mysterious.

Anyone could tell that he got the aura from the bloodbath of the business industry that made him who he was now.

“Mr. Moore, I'm here today to talk with you about the details of our collaboration. Oh, right! Here. I made

mushroom soup for you. It took me hours, so please try some,” she added.

Cayden furrowed his brows slightly and sounded cold when he said, “Thank you, Ms. Nicole. But don't bother. I've

already eaten. Mr. Dartsley will contact you regarding the details of the development and follow-up of our

collaboration, so you don't have to worry.”

Seeing Cayden's cold attitude, Nicole felt that she was choking on a lump in her throat.

She glanced at the large pile of various documents on his desk and asked carefully, “Mr. Moore, am I disturbing

you?”

Although Nicole's father was the state secretary and Nicole was the only daughter of the Lambert family, deep

down, she felt inferior. That was because she wasn't William and Claire's biological daughter since she was adopted.

Besides, it was possible that their biological daughter was still alive. That was why she was always afraid that she

would suddenly lose everything she had.

Because of that, she needed to find someone she could depend on for the rest of her life before the real daughter

of the Lambert family returned. That was the only way she could continue living a luxurious and comfortable life in

case she had to leave the Lambert family.

Even if he has two children, so what? Many A-list celebrities eventually married wealthy husbands, even though

they had already made a fortune. They've definitely made the right choice.

The glorious years of female celebrities only lasted in their prime. With so many young and beautiful new celebrities

sprouting out every year, how would those older female celebrities win against the young ones once they had

passed their prime?

That's why I must find a capable and rich man while I'm still young and beautiful!

In addition, the man before her was the best choice, no matter how she looked at it.

But he is too mysterious. I don't even know if he's always been this cold or if he's only this cold because he has

been through something.

When Cayden saw Nicole's disappointed expression, he thought of Avery. Avery looked like that last night too.

His cold voice seemed to have softened up a little when he said, “No.”

Hearing that, Nicole felt a little happy and looked at him in admiration. She asked, “Mr. Moore, ever since the last

meal we had, my father has been talking about you and asking when you would have time to visit the Lambert

residence.”

“I'm busy lately. Once I'm done with most of my work, I'll be sure to make time to visit him,” Cayden replied

indifferently.

Nicole put on a sweet smile as she handed a name card to him. “We've got a deal, then. This is my personal name

card. Call me when you're free, Mr. Moore.”

He took it nonchalantly and said nothing.

Deep down, she was bursting with joy. Her smile widened slightly at the right angle, making her look lovely. “Then,

I'll see you again next time, Mr. Moore.”

She knew she should take things slow if she wanted him to like her. There was no way she'd succeed so quickly.

I'll get him interested in me before seducing him so that he'll want to pursue me himself.

Her actions were natural, elegant, and perfect. Anyone could see that she was raised in a noble family. Yet, it

somehow felt like she was trying a little too hard.

Cayden had seen countless women like her, so he felt a strong sense of repulsion.

Despite how he felt, he said nothing and merely raised his brows because of Nicole's background.

After she left, he smiled coldly and threw the gold-plated name card into the trash can at the side without

hesitation.

Nicole looked calm when she was leaving the CEO's office. But she completely dropped the act the moment she got

out of Cayden's office.

With a spring in her step, the floorboards creaked as she walked with a smile on her face. She was trying so hard to

control herself from squealing out loud.

Once the elevator doors slid open, she swayed in. But when the doors were closing, she seemed to have caught

sight of a woman dressed in a white suit with a great figure at the corner of the corridor.

Her silhouette looks a little familiar. But her long, black hair is covering half of her face, so I can't see her face

clearly... Maybe she's just a normal employee in Mr. Moore's company, so I shouldn't think too much about it.

Even though it was only a glimpse, Nicole felt uncomfortable when she thought about that woman's perfect figure.

Once I become Mr. Moore's wife, I'll filter out all the women around him in Trident Group, leaving only those with

plain figures and looks in the company.

Since Nicole was wearing sunglasses, Avery couldn't see the former's expression.

However, Avery had trouble ignoring Nicole's smile.

I wonder what Cayden said to her that made her so happy. Is it about their private matters?

She stopped her thoughts from going wild as she knocked on the door of the CEO's office.

A magnetic male voice sounded. “Come in.”

She opened the door and walked in. The moment she went in, she couldn't help furrowing her brows because of the

suffocating smell of smoke. As she looked for the source of the smoke, she saw the unbelievably handsome man

sitting relaxedly on his chair with a lit-up cigar between his fingers.

The cigar he was holding had a faint green color, looking like a tobacco leaf that was not fully grown. Following the

smell of the thick smoke was the scent of fresh soil after rain. It was just as charming as Cayden. Abruptly, a

thought appeared in Avery's mind. Some men who smoke are just like lit-up, fine pieces of art. It's too elegant...
