Nicole did not understand Clayton’s question. ’What was the point?’
“Of course, there’s a use. Logan will think of a way!”
Aside from home, Nicole would feel more at ease with Logan when she was outside.
After all, Logan was an attentive, serious, and amazing assistant!
Nicole thought that any amount of bonus was not enough for the work Logan did.
Clayton silently lowered his head and instantly looked downcast.
The next second, he took out a bluish-gray handkerchief from his pocket. It looked very expensive. He used some force to tear it into two triangles from the middle.
Then, he gently held Nicole’s ankle. Nicole was slightly stunned and wanted to say something, but she held back.
Clayton wrapped the handkerchief around the injured part of her heel.
Then, he tied a knot and stuffed her foot back into the shoe. The remaining long triangular part at the back was wrapped around the part of Nicole’s skin that was abraded and looked more like an accessory.
It completely separated her delicate skin from being in contact with the back of her shoe.
Clayton did the same to her other foot. It did not look clumsy, but rather chic.
Nicole smiled and was very satisfied. She intended to walk a few steps.
However, when she took a step back, she winced. Her wound was still painful.
Clayton could not help but let out a light laugh.
“It’ll only keep it from getting worse. It‘s not a magical cure.”
Nicole muttered, “Right… It’s quite pretty though!”
Clayton stood up and extended an arm.
“Hold my arm to walk.”
Nicole put all her weight on his arm. She was at least over ninety pounds, but Clayton’s arm did not budge at all. He did not feel tired or sore.
She took two steps and felt much better. The tingling pain just now faded. The material of the handkerchief was nice and had a comfortable cooling feel to it.
Nicole smiled. “Let’s keep going then?” She intended to catch up with the group. Clayton pulled her arm and frowned at her. “You still plan to continue?”
Nicole said, “Of course!”
“You don’t want your feet anymore?”
Nicole looked down, she thought she could hold on, but she had to admit that it was quite painful.
This brand of sneakers was officially on her blacklist from
While Nicole hesitated, Clayton sighed and bent down to pick her up.
Nicole whimpered in surprise. She felt anxious.
“There are reporters all around…”
Clayton’s body stiffened slightly. He wanted to say something, but he held back.
He turned around and walked away.
Nicole thought that he would directly carry her back to the car, but he just took a few steps back and went to the shade on the other side that was at the back of the warehouse they had just visited. There were buildings covering them, so no one would notice this corner if they did not come over deliberately.
Clayton bent down and put her on a chair to the side. He crouched on one side.
Nicole looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to this place.
Clayton’s gaze was obscure as he saw her reactions. His tone was somewhat gloomy. “Are you so afraid that others will see us together?”
Nicole paused. Her heart suddenly sank. She immediately understood why Clayton said so.
She pursed her lips and explained in a soft voice.
“You also know that my exposure is just as good as an actor’s. Today is a big day for our victory, so I don’t want to turn it into some entertainment news.”
Nicole thought that this explanation was quite dull, but Clayton’s face eased up a lot.
He lifted his head and looked at her with gentle eyes. His eyes were as deep as a lake.
“You’re right.”
“Then will you be disappointed?” Nicole asked. Clayton hesitated and paused slightly.
“A little, but I’ll control my emotions.”
