As soon as Clayton spoke, both women froze. One was a little shocked, and the other paled.
Autumn was still a member of the Ferguson family, so although she was currently only an intern in the company that Clayton was cooperating with, no one dared to say anything to her because of her family background.
Clayton humiliated her for a divorced woman, but she was a high and mighty daughter of an affluent family. How was Autumn supposed to show her face in the future?
Autumn was almost trembling with anger. The little good feelings she had for Clayton disappeared.
She gnashed her teeth and sneered.
’then I won’t bother you anymore. Have a nice meal.” Autumn simply turned around and left.
At that moment, she also lost the mood to eat. She remembered something, took out her phone, and called her friend who was far away in Liberty.
“Hello? Is this the Sloan residence? My name is Autumn Ferguson. I’m Isaac’s classmate as well as his friend…”
The person who answered the phone was Quavon, and his voice was aged and feeble.
“Oh, Ms. Ferguson. Isaac can’t come to the phone now. Do you need something?”
Autumn paused and gritted her teeth. She was furious when she thought about the humiliation the two people had just inflicted on her.
She took a deep breath. “I know that something happened t o Isaac recently. I know who did it…”
Nicole watched Autumn leave in a huff and felt that this person had quite a different character than Ingrid.
Ingrid was an arrogant idiot, but Autumn was very good at reading people’s faces.
Autumn was just not good at restraining her temper. However…
Nicole withdrew her eyes and looked at Clayton in front of her.
Clayton tested the temperature of the cup of water in front of her as if nothing happened and felt that it was a little cold, so he had it changed into a warmer one instead.
Clayton pursed his lips. “Why are you staring at me like that?”
Nicole said, “Aren’t you afraid that Ms. Ferguson will get angry? Are you two working together?”
Clayton frowned slightly. “I’m cooperating with the company she’s interning in, not with her. Why should I be afraid of her wrath? She kept chattering nonsense here. I was afraid that you’d be angry instead.”
Nicole’s smile subconsciously deepened. She laughed helplessly.
This man looked quite capable.
At least, Nicole thought that Clayton had a gentle character. However, after seeing his attitude towards others, it did not seem so.
Was he only like this to her?
Nicole’s heart suddenly softened for a moment. There were some strange emotions when she looked at Clayton.
However, Nicole only smiled and said to him, “You completely portrayed me as a bad woman. Ms. Ferguson must hate my guts out now!”
Although that was what she said, her heart actually felt quite happy.
After all, Nicole was very accurate in reading women. Autumn did not have kind intentions towards Clayton. She could tell that at a glance.
This was good. Since Clayton did not leave Autumn any mercy, she should give up.
Autumn did not say anything despite coveting a taken man, but she must feel rather displeased in her heart.
Clayton raised his brows. “Then I’ll have to explain to her that you weren’t the one who taught me to say that. I meant what I said.”
Nicole paused. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes at him.
Was he an idiot?
Clayton laughed. “Well, I already said it. I’ll just have to ask you to suffer this grievance?”
He felt a little upset seeing that Nicole did not look jealous at all, but he swallowed that feeling.
It was fine, as long as he cared.
He continued to pick the food for Nicole, and Nicole ate quietly. The two of them did not mention what just happened and seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding.
After they paid the bill, Nicole went out with Clayton.
Clayton opened the doo r for her and paused. “Where’s your bodyguard?
