Nicole was really annoyed and wanted to know who was so dense to ask for a meeting so late at night. As soon as she looked up, an unexpected person was standing there in front of her. He was well-dressed, tall, and elegant, with a faint warm smile at the corner of his lips as if he could melt an iceberg. His calm and gentle temperament exuded a detached nobility. “You don’t even want to see me?” The man opened his mouth.
His voice was warm and clear, and the familiar feeling returned in an instant. Nicole had to admit that she missed him a lot. These days, they had only been in touch by phone, but they were both busy, so they only said a few words before they hung up each time. Due to the time difference, someone would also fall asleep from exhaustion from time to time when they were talking. It felt like they had not seen each other for a century. Although they usually said very little and restrained their longing for each other, they could not help but feel closer. However, none of them had ever taken the initiative to mention the inconvenience of a long-distance relationship. Nicole’s eyes turned slightly red.
Logan pursed his lips on the side. He cleared his throat and looked at Nicole carefully. “President, do you want to see him?” He asked when he already knew the answer. Logan wanted to tease Nicole, but he dared not go too far. When he heard that Clayton had arrived at the lobby, he let Clayton up without hesitation. It was just that when Logan came over to ask, Clayton happened to overhear their conversation, which resulted in this awkward situation. Nicole rolled her eyes. “Well, he’s already here, so how can we still kick him out?” Her voice was hoarse and low.
“After all, Mr. Sloan is an important partner of the company!” Logan stifled a laugh. He did not expect Nicole to be such a natural in finding a good excuse for herself. She was really something! “Okay, then you guys talk. Call me if you need anything.” Logan said and very sensibly retreated. Clayton nodded slightly. He then took a step forward as Logan thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
Clayton sighed. His gentle gaze was filled with a tenderness like the moonlight. He opened his arms slightly. Nicole could no longer resist and pounced on him as soon as she went over. His warm and refreshing scent made her feel at ease. She hugged him tightly. It had only been a few days without seeing him, but she already missed him so much. Nicole had asked herself countless times if she was still as restrained and rational as she was at the beginning of their relationship. It was obvious that she was not. At first, Nicole wanted Clayton to retreat by himself when things got difficult and wanted to make Eric give up on her. However, later, she was the one who fell deeper in love with Clayton.
After a while, Clayton stroked her hair gently. Nicole could hear his deep laugh from his chest. “Are you done hugging?” Nicole’ s body stiffened and instantly let go of him. Nicole thought, ‘This man is so out of it! I missed him so much, but he sounds like he doesn’t miss me at all! Men sure are unreliable!’
She was infuriated and was just about to speak to regain her self-esteem when Clayton suddenly lowered his head. Clayton cupped her face. His gaze was dark and deep like the night sky that was filled with starlight. “I want to kiss you.” ‘ If you’re done hugging me, I’ll start kissing you.’ Clayton thought. Clayton did not wait for Nicole to react before he lowered his head and placed his cold lips on hers.
He was reluctant to let go of her and quickly took in every inch of her sweetness. The yearning he felt in his bones came surging out as if the floodgates were opened. It rushed out and drowned her. Nicole passively accepted his passion and kissed him back, wanting to take the lead. However, as soon as she responded, Clayton ‘s kiss became even more intense. His slightly cool large hands inadvertently slid to her lower back.
