Grant glanced at Nicole coldly. His thin lips pursed tightly, and his gaze was filled with cold disappointment and anger.
“I just got back from a meeting with a client. I even had to attend the video conference for you. I thought you had something important to do, but it was just this?!”
Nicole coughed. Her expression was slightly uncomfortable.
Compared to Grant ‘s busy day, she really was not qualified to question his schedule.
Nicole pursed her lips and softened her voice.
“Big Brother, Yvette was a little troubled, so I drank a little wine to accompany her and ended up waking up late. You’ll definitely understand, right…?”
Grant glared at her. His gaze landed on Clayton, but his words were directed at Nicole.
“You don’t use the driver at home but bother Mr. Sloan instead. You’re really insensible. Mr. Sloan isn’t as idle as you.”
Nicole bowed her head and did not speak.
Clayton smiled faintly and spoke in a clear voice.
“I’m not that busy. No matter howbusy I am, I can still find time for her, but your tireless teachings make me feel ashamed.”
Grant raised his brows. At those words, the gloom on his face dissipated a little.
“She’ll be considered capable if she could just learn one or two of your skills, Mr. Sloan. Nicole, don’t just think about dating. You have to learn more!”
Grant exhorted earnestly, making Nicole overwhelmed.
She quickly nodded.
“Big Brother, I’ll go up first. I have work to do!”
Then, she glanced at Clayton, gave him a look that said “you’re on your own”, and ran away.
Clayton’ s lips curled up. His gaze was gentle as he smiled helplessly.
Grant gave him a meaningful look, and he withdrew his smile.
“Mr. Sloan, let’s go up and talk.” Would Clayton dare to do that?
Of course not!
“ I’m afraid I can’ t as I still have things to do. I’ll come and pick her up after work.”
After Clayton finished speaking, he nodded and said goodbye.
Grant narrowed his eyes and silently turned around to go upstairs.
When Grant reached the office door, his assistant gave him a look.
Grant pushed the door in and saw Nicole spinning in his chair.
That childish look made him feel both angry and helpless.
“Missy, have you played enough?”
Nicole stopped. “Big Brother, you always scare him. If you scare him away, you have to compensate me!”
Grant rolled his eyes at her. “Have some conscience. You actually dare to say that about me because of him? I’m just beating him up to make him pay more attention, but you’re so defensive of him.”
“What’s the point of that?” Nicole mumbled. Grant rolled his eyes. “Would you listen if I beat
you up instead?”
Nicole smiled, ingratiatingly and humbly.
“Big Brother, when you were dating, I single- handedly supported you. You can’t fall short!”
Grant sneered. She had quite the cheek to say that.
However, he sat on the opposite chair, and Nicole put away her smile. She spoke with a solemn expression.
“I met someone at yesterday’s banquet…”
Although Ann’s target was not her, it was still related to her.
Nicole felt like she could not be careless. She must be prepared.
Her many years of alertness were not for nothing. She spoke briefly, then fell into silence.
Grant pursed his lips. His features were sharp and chilly.
“You mean that she’s deliberately imitating you for some kind of purpose?”
Nicole nodded. “Her eyes weren’t that friendly. I think that something’s going on.”
Grant pondered for a few seconds and nodded.
“Alright. I’ll have someone check it out. You should be careful during this time and don’t run around.”
Nicole nodded.
“But I wonder if she’s related to Quavon? Focus on checking in this direction. After all, the person who wants me dead the most now is him…”
Grant nodded. His eyes were sharp. “Alright. Luca has been following you, so don’t worry too much.”
Nicole smiled and stood up.
“Then I’m relieved. I’ll go back now…”
