Nicole froze.
Clayton ‘s back faintly stiffened. He also heard it.
He suddenly turned around and took Nicole’s hand to walk forward with their fingers interlocked.
‘Haha! Ms. Sloan?! ‘ Clayton thought.
The teacher looked at them and was a little confused by that action. ‘Why do they look more and more like a couple? When they were inside, Michael’s sister didn’t call him Dad the whole time either…’
Nicole pursed her lips. Her hand was tightly clutched by Clayton.
She looked a little embarrassed and hastily changed the subject.
“I thought I could solve it myself. I didn’t think that you’d still have to come.“
The corners of Clayton ‘s mouth held a light smile. His gaze was warm and soft.
“I’m used to this kind of thing. Michael just hasn’t gotten used to this place yet, but he’s always had a strong ability to adapt, so he’ll be fine soon.“
Nicole nodded her head. “Did it delay your meeting?“
Clayton squeezed her hand. His gaze drifted to her face.
“I think it delayed your time more, right? In the future, just leave such matters to me. I’m very experienced in handling them.“
Nicole blushed for a moment and restrained her emotions.
“Well, probably because he couldn’t get through to you. That’s why he contacted me.“
Clayton paused slightly and narrowed his eyes.
“What?“
A rage inexplicably rose in his heart.
‘Couldn’t get through? Of all the missed calls I had, none of them were from the school or Lil Michael. It looks like Lil Michael did it on purpose! ‘
Nicole blinked in confusion and instantly tried to redeem the situation for Lil Michael.
“It’s also possible that he forgot your number…“
Nicole felt like biting off her own tongue. She also felt heartbroken for Lil Michael.
Clayton let out a cold laugh and shook his head.
Just when Nicole thought that Clayton was going to get angry, he smiled gently and squeezed her hand.
“I’ll make sure he never forgets it. Let’s go have lunch?“
Nicole nodded.
The two of them ate a simple meal near Nicole’s office before Clayton hurriedly went back to continue to deal with the morning meeting.
A few days later.
A private dinner invitation was delivered to Nicole’s desk.
Logan said, “I heard that a foreign investor was also invited to this dinner. They didn’t specify who it was, but it seems like the investor has something to do with Mr. Sloan.“
Nicole frowned. “Clayton?“
Logan nodded. “They’re tight-lipped about it saying that it’s a surprise to be revealed at the dinner.
Would you like to go?“
Nicole smiled. “Of course, I want to go. They probably want me there.“
Otherwise, if they were so tight —lipped, how could they reveal that it has to do with Clayton?
Logan nodded. “I’ll have someone prepare clothes and jewelry for you.“
“Don’t bother, just keep it simple.“
Nicole thought to herself, ‘I’m not the main character anyway, and I’m not in the mood to do anything.’
Logan nodded and turned around to leave. Nicole thought about it and sent a message to Clayton. (Are you going to the banquet at Champs de Mars tonight?]
Clayton called back in seconds. “Yeah, but you have to take me in. Someone wants to pull me down as soon as they come.“
Nicole laughed.
After they said a few more words, they hung up the phone.
Nicole could hear that although Clayton ‘s voice sounded calm and gentle, which was no different from usual, there was something wrong with his emotions.
The streetlights were coming on at this time of the day.
Nicole wore a small black dress and high heels. This outfit was simple and elegant, but when she wore it, it gave off an exclusiveness.
Her bright features were captivating.
Once she got downstairs, she saw Clayton ‘s car waiting there.
Clayton rolled down the car window and waved at her.
