Read Chapter 880 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Asher saw Nicole’s cold attitude and decided to take a different approach.
Since the emotional route did not work, he tried to throw out the bait.
After all, there were too many countries in Mediania that wanted to cooperate with Cyndro International.
Nicole smiled and lifted her eyes coldly.
“Sorry, but I don’t think we have a chance to cooperate.”
When Clayton heard this, he understood that Asher and Nicole were just acquaintances.
Clayton looked at the coldness on Nicole’s face and walked forward with a smile, putting his hand gently on her shoulder.
”Didn’t you say that you wanted to watch a movie? It’s about time…”
Nicole looked at him and smiled, nodding naturally. ’then let’s go!”
The two of them left under Asher’s gaze.
Asher cursed silently and helplessly finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Mitchell saw the scene earlier clearly.
He walked over. ”Mr. Sul livan, do you know Ms. Stanton?”
Asher nodded and did not hide it since Mitchell was one of Eric’s men.
“I don’t just know her. I’m very familiar with her! But why is
she here? Is she working in Ferguson Corporation?”
Mitchell did not answer and smiled. “She’s the President of Stanton Corporation, Ms. Nicole Stanton. She’s also…
President Ferguson’s ex-wife.”
Asher’s face stiffened. “Holy sh*t!” That news obviously shocked him!
After knowing “Annie” for so long, Asher still did not know everything about her.
Asher put down his stuff in a hurry and ran to find Eric.
Nicole and Clayton left together.
As soon as she went out, she felt the cold wind that felt like it was trying to drill into her every pore.
It was too cold.
However, the next second, a warm and quiet fragrance instantly wrapped around her shoulders. Clayton draped his jacket over her body.
“This is my opportunity to appeal to you, so you can’t refuse me!”
Nicole’s words of thanks slipped around her mouth before she swallowed them down.
She smiled. “What a good opportunity…” Clayton smiled gently. “Goodbye.”
Nicole was confused. “Didn’t you want to see a movie?”
The man froze and suddenly turned red. “I thought it was just an excuse to help you get away…”
“Let’s go together. It’s still early, so think of it as thanks for helping me.”
Clayton’s eyes were warm as he looked at her. “It would be my pleasure.”
The two of them got into the car, and Nicole sighed in relief at the warmth.
Clayton hesitated but finally opened his mouth.
“Actually, I’ve been trying to find a chance to apologize to you.”
“Why?”
“I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable that time at the gym. It wasn’t my intention. I’m serious about pursuing you. I’m not deliberately taking advantage of you to get back at someone else.”
After speaking, he glanced at Nicole next to him in silence.
She did not take this matter to heart at all and did not expect Clayton to remember it for so long.
Were her words too heavy at that time?
Nicole looked sideways at Clayton. The profile of his face was smoothly outlined by the light outside. His eyes were warm and sincere, full of apologies.
“It’s okay, Mr. Sloan. Using people harmlessly is just a way of protecting yourself. I won’t mind.”
“But I’m not pursuing you to use you. I’m pursuing you because I like you, Nicole.”
His face was solemn, and his gentle and modest look seemed slightly anxious.
He was explaining himself.
The car was silent for a moment.
Nicole’s eyes flickered, obviously a little nervous.
She had heard confessions like that so many times that she had become indifferent.
However, when Clayton said it so bluntly, it was like a feather brushing over the tip of her heart, making her whole body feel moved with a tingling feeling.
