Nicole could not stand their probing looks. Seeing a s the situation was getting awkward, Nicole immediately countered. “I was born with good skin!” Julie immediately stopped Yvette, who wanted to continue speaking. She looked at Nicole with a smile. “Well, your boyfriend went out early in the morning to buy breakfast for us. Thank him properly for us. It’s getting late now, and we still have things to do, so we’ll see you at the banquet tonight.”
Nicole nodded. Old Master Carter’s birthday banquet was tonight, so of course, they would see each other. Yvette was pulled away by Julie. Only Clayton and Nicole were left in the living room. Nicole looked at the breakfast on the dining table and frowned slightly. They tossed around until early morning, but he still had the energy to go out to buy breakfast. Did he not need to sleep? She turned her head to look at him.
Clayton instantly understood what she was thinking. He smiled and explained. “I had someone buy it early in the morning and deliver it downstairs. I just went to get it a few minutes ago.” Realization dawned on Nicole. “So, they were wrong to compliment you?” Clayton laughed.“ I could explain it to them, but I went out to get breakfast so that no one would find out that I was staying here last night.” Otherwise, Clayton would just have their breakfast sent directly to the door.
Nicole had nothing more to say. She turned around and went to wash up. When she was done, she watched Clayton sitting at the dining table waiting for her while replying to some emails and messages from Liberty. Nicole suddenly thought of something. “Have the people upstairs left?” Nicole asked. Clayton said, “From the sound of it, they probably have.” Before he went downstairs, he heard the sound of the door closing. Nicole nodded. “You worked hard last night.” Clayton asked, “Hard work in which aspect?” He clearly knew yet he still asked. Nicole’ s smile stiffened.
She really wanted to bash him to death. Clayton was really getting more blatant. It seemed like it must have been very hard for him to put up a gentlemanly front in front of her before. However, Nicole was not willing to fall behind and smiled. “In all aspects.” Clayton was speechless. He did not manage to tease her and was teased instead, as expected of Ms. Stanton. Clayton obediently poured a bowl of soup for her.“ Drink some soup. Your throat is hoarse…” Nicole said, “You should make up for it.” Anyone would know how to hurt others. Men! Nicole did not go to the office yesterday.
If she did not show up again today, Grant would personally come over to catch her. Nicole took a few bites before Clayton sent her to Stanton Corporation. Before getting out of the car, Nicole remembered something. “That lipstick mark yesterday…” It seemed to have disappeared.
Nicole did not remember seeing it when he picked her up from J&L Corporation. Clayton said, “Can I have another one?” “Get lost.” The topic completely veered away. Clayton did not want to let go and looked at her meaningfully. “You’re really not going to kiss me, babe? We won’t have a chance to kiss this entire day.”
Nicole looked at him speechlessly. Was he a child? However, people were coming and going at the entrance, and the Bentley parked here was particularly conspicuous and eye-catching. Nicole did not want to become the topic of everyone’s conversations early in the morning and leaned over with her eyes closed. It was just a light kiss. She did not pay attention and turned around to go out. Clayton did not stop her either and smiled at her back. How cute. Just as he was about to start the car, Clayton looked up, and his face suddenly stiffened.
Clayton quickly regained his warm and modest demeanor, got out of the car, and nodded his head. “Mr. Stanton.” Grant’s gaze was bitterly cold as he looked at Clayton. He saw the scene just now, so his expression was not very good. “Since you’re already here, why don’t you come up for a seat, Mr. Sloan?”
Clayton was a little nervous and inexplicably felt some pressure. “I was just dropping Nicole off along the way. I still have things to do. I’ll definitely come over and pay a visit later.” Grant looked at Clayton indifferently. “That’s not necessary. Just make an appointment in advance if you need something.” “Yes.”
