Gerard Lichman stood outside. Although it was a little cold, he still waited outside. When he saw the two people in the car not coming down even after a long time, he began to pay more attention to what was happening in the car. Clayton smiled humbly and ingratiatingly, but Nicole’s face was cold and solemn. It was like a rich woman being pestered by a pretty boy.
Gerard was not in a hurry. He just stood there and watched the scene inside like he was watching a good show. According to the script, Nicole would throw a slap at Clayton and let him know his place. Yes.
If that happened, he would not have come down for nothing. It would be worth it. However, the next second, Nicole angrily cupped Clayton ‘s face and pressed a fierce kiss on the side of his cheek. The two men were stunned by this kiss.
Clayton did not expect her reaction to be so big. This was kissing him? What was the difference between this and being bitten? Gerard was also shocked in place and felt like his eyes shattered. He wanted nothing more than to gouge his eyes out. He actually saw Nicole do something like that to a man in this life. Who took the initiative? Clayton was about to rub his face in grievance but was stopped by Nicole.
“You’re not allowed to wipe it off. I want to see this lipstick mark when I come home tonight!” Nicole did it on purpose. Clayton wanted a goodbye kiss, right? Fine, then she would not let him erase that kiss easily. It had to leave a deep impression on him. The corners of Clayton’s lips twitched. He knew that she was angry. Forget it. She could be angry if she wanted to be. In any case, he needed the goodbye kiss.
Clayton nodded with a smile without any reluctance on his face. “Okay, I won’t wipe it off!” Nicole looked at it a few more times. The marks were incredibly obvious. Only then did she leave the car in satisfaction. Of course, Gerard had the good sense to go over and open the car door for her. Nicole got out of the car, closed the door, waved her hand, and went straight upstairs.
Gerard looked at the couple and felt confused. Were they madly in love? Or were they about to break up? Clayton smiled and waved, started the car, and left. These two people changed in just a few seconds. Clayton did not look like a pitiful person who was trying to kiss up to a wealthy woman. He looked like someone who was being coerced by a wealthy woman. Gerard did not want to continue thinking about the script that followed. However, Gerard subconsciously raised his head and looked around. He wondered how much the person upstairs had seen.
Nicole had already walked ahead, and he quickly chased after her. In the elevator. Nicole casually took out a mirror and lipstick from her bag to touch up her makeup as if nothing happened. Not a word was mentioned about what just happened. However, Gerard could not hold back. He cleared his throat and asked seemingly casually. “You’re still together…?”
Nicole pursed her lips and looked at the color of her favorite lipstick. It was crimson red, and it gave her a cold and clear temperament that kept others a thousand miles away. She turned to the side to glance faintly at him. “Didn’t you see what happened just now?” So, why was he asking this nonsense? Gerard was speechless. “Ding!” The elevator arrived.
Nicole walked out, and Gerard followed behind. “Ms. Stanton, isn’t Mr. Sloan going to watch as well? He poured his heart and soul into this too…” Those words were more natural. Nicole said, “He’s an investor. Investors only care about getting money. They don’t care about other stuff.” Gerard thought to himself, ‘Oh, that makes sense.’ There was no way to refute. “I heard that something happened in Sloan Corporation. Mr. Sloan still has the mood to come back to Mediania? Did the trouble with Sloan Corporation get resolved?” Gerard asked Nicole
. Sloan Corporation’s matter in Liberty was enough to stir up the entire business circle. How would they not know what happened? However, what they knew was also limited. At least, they did not know what happened inside the venue at that time. The media was not present, and the business circle in Liberty always shared the same view of things, so they would not easily divulge the inside story. Thus, they still did not know that Sloan Corporation was now owned by Nicole.
