Nicole was briefly dazed. Her heart was surging with emotions.
The answer Clayton gave her was too heavy, like he had simply handed over his life to her.
She could easily control his life and death.
Nicole’s phone rang and interrupted the undercurrents of ambiguity flowing between them.
She fluttered her eyelashes and hurriedly looked down to get her phone.
It was Logan rushing her from downstairs. Nicole hung up the phone and looked at Clayton. “Do you want to stay here and rest?”
Clayton said, “No, I wanna stay with you.” He was so clingy.
Nicole nodded. When she went over to get her bag, Clayton took it for her and held her hand with his other hand.
She silently curled the corners of her lips.
Nicole suddenly thought that being held by Clayton like this felt so good.
In the elevator.
Nicole thought about it and hesitantly spoke. “Mr. Sloan?”
“Hmm?”
Nicole looked at their reflection in the mirror. When she was standing with him, his expression was mild as if nothing had happened.
“I won’t sell you to others.”
Nicole spoke in a small voice, but she was certain that he heard her.
Clayton looked sideways and raised his eyebrows. The smile on his face deepened.
“Really?”
’Why didn’t it look like that just now…?’ Clayton thought.
Nicole nodded with certainty. Her expression was firm. ” Because they can’t afford to buy you!”
’Clayton Sloan is such a valuable commodity! How can the average person afford to buy him? Who are they kidding?!’ Nicole thought.
Clayton was speechless and did not know whether he should cry or laugh. He rubbed her hair and felt a little helpless.
The two of them went out of the elevator hand in hand.
Logan was still waiting anxiously downstairs.
Seeing the two of them together in an intimate manner, Logan suddenly felt like they were such a good match.
When Nicole smiled at Clayton, she looked so relaxed and happy like it came from the bottom of her heart.
It was not at all like the time she was painfully pursuing Eric. Back then, she was always shrouded in sorrow as if she would never see any hope in her life.
Logan opened the car door for them in the back.
The two of them got into the car together and did not let go of their hands like they were glued together.
Were they showing off their love?
These two people really did not care about other people’s feelings.
Logan speechlessly drove in front and tried to reduce his presence.
He felt like his job was very difficult.
Once they arrived at the office, everyone could clearly feel Nicole’s happiness as well as the happiness of the man beside her.
Even the cleaning lady, who was always worried about losing her job, could not help but take a second glance.
Before this, Nicole always appeared cold and indifferent when she was alone. No one had seen her smiling so happily.
Moreover, Nicole and Clayton would look at each other from time to time and smile with such a tacit understanding.
In short, within ten minutes, the whole company knew that Nicole was in an extraordinarily good mood today.
It might be related to the situation reversal.
Nicole was not bothered to go to Jacob’s smokey office and went over to the meeting room that was quiet and spacious next door.
Clayton followed behind her. The two of them looked so sweet and intimate.
Logan went in and acted as a third wheel.
“President, Autumn Ferguson called just now and wanted to ask you to have dinner together.”
Nicole paused and glanced at Clayton.
When Clayton heard this name, the smile on his face instantly disappeared.
Instead, he looked impatient and speechless.
Clayton regarded this as a scourge.
Nicole laughed. ”I don’t have time for her.”
Autumn was taking the initiative perhaps because she was afraid that Nicole would find out something.
Logan answered and turned to leave.
Nicole reached out and pulled Clayton’s hand. ”Why are you suddenly so upset? I’m not going to meet with her.”
Clayton pondered for a moment.
“I don’t know what this crazy woman is capable of or what kind of heartless things she’ll do to you. You’d better not meet with her!”
Nicole nodded in a very receptive manner.
The feeling of being loved unconditionally was somewhat intoxicating.
