Read Chapter 1188 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Nicole turned her head in surprise. The warm and soothing fragrance of Clayton’s body drilled into her heart.
She subconsciously became dazed. “Why?” She quickly asked.
Clayton chuckled. His voice was clear and pleasant. “Because a princess should always be high and mighty.” There was no need for Nicole to stoop low or compromise.
Even though her little temper was not elegant, Clayton felt like it was adorable.
His voice was low and deep, drilling into Nicole’s ears and making her slightly stunned.
The tips of her ears turned red.
It was not that she did not understand the way things were done in the workplace. She also made it up from the bottom little by little.
However, after growing up in an environment like the Stanton family, there was an inherent arrogance that she could not hide or correct.
Nicole suppressed it for too long during the three years she was with Eric, and she did not have a good time.
After the divorce, Nicole let loose.
At that moment, her heart inexplicably softened when Clayton said that.
Clayton did not notice her change in attitude and entered the venue with her in his arms.
The front row seats were for the artists, and it was also where there were the most cameras.
Their seats were on the second floor. The angle was excellent, and the atmosphere was not as intense as below, which was surrounded by cameras.
Nicole and Clayton sat down. From their seats, it was just enough to see the host on stage and the densely packed cast sitting below.
Almost two-thirds of the entertainment industry had come. It was clear that this awards ceremony was grand and formal.
Harvey was currently very popular, so his seat was
arranged in the first few rows. He sat together with Fabian. Nicole took a deep breath and looked down expectantly.
Clayton frowned, poured her a glass of juice, and handed it over.
“What are you nervous about?”
Nicole said, “Of course, I’m nervous. I poured my heart and soul into Harvey!”
Clayton hesitated for a moment before asking in surprise, ” You didn’t bribe the organizers?”
Nicole was speechless. Of course not!
Nicole looked at him blankly and frowned.
“Do you actually think that I’m that kind of person?”
Even if she was powerful, she would not take the risk to challenge ethics.
Although Harvey would shoot up in popularity if he won Best Actor, it would be even worse for her if the news that she pulled strings was exposed.
Clayton instantly shut his mouth and choked.
After regaining his composure, he cleared his throat and recovered his expression.
“No, I was just curious. Weren’t you very interested in Harvey winning the Best Actor award? He’s also one of the nominees. Wouldn’t it be safer if you made a deal privately?”
Nicole pretended to be angry and looked away, ignoring him.
The clean and gentlemanly Clayton Sloan actually suspected her of secretly pulling strings?
It was possible that others might think so too.
In that case, Nicole did the right thing by not letting someone pull the strings.
When Clayton saw that Nicole was silent and frustrated, he thought that she was angry because he said the wrong thing.
The staff members at the venue were testing out the equipment, and the music was deafening.
Clayton tugged her clothes. “Are you angry?”
Nicole was immersed in her own world, deep in contemplation, so she did not notice the man beside her.
Clayton saw that she remained silent and thought that she was really angry.
He gently leaned down close to her. His clear voice sounded pitiful.
“It’s not that I think you’re someone who doesn’t know how to differentiate between public and private affairs. Some time ago, you took me along to understand this circle.
Each one of them has a capital behind them that represents their interests. Harvey naturally represents you. If others can push their people up, what’s the big deal if you push Harvey up?”
