Nicole pursed her lips and looked at Logan. “Why did you come so quickly?”

She remembered that she only sent him the message five minutes ago.

Logan said, “I was shopping nearby and saw your message, so I rushed over…”

Nicole nodded and waved her hand, stiffly pretending that nothing happened and that she did not see anything.

“Come in.”

Nicole coughed. “Mr. Sloan, remember to take back your soiled clothes!”

Clayton nodded without turning around and walked straight out before closing the door.

Logan and Nicole could not help but let out a sigh.

Logan raised his eyes and saw the marks on Nicole’s lips. He then silently averted his eyes. ’It seems like I should be more respectful toward Clayton in the future…’

“President, there was a mistake in the audit for the project department. It needs to be handled urgently…”

Nicole took him to the study.

Half an hour later, the problem was finally solved. Logan left.

Nicole tossed and turned in bed but could not sleep. Clayton’s face appeared in front of her eyes constantly.

She wanted to take a pillow and bash him to death.

In the morning, it was almost noon when she finally woke up.

When she saw that Logan did not send her any important documents, she sighed in relief and languidly freshened up. She even applied a mask.

She passed the work in her hands to Grant in advance so that she could spare time to go to Liberty to meet Naomi for VJ Magazine’s cover shoot.

Grant knew that Nicole was trying to slack off, but he did not point it out and only told her to be careful.

A day before the shoot, Logan booked a flight for Clayton and Nicole.

Before leaving, Clayton received an important phone call. It seemed like Lil Michael had gotten into trouble at school again.

Clayton gnashed his teeth in resentment, but he had to go to Michael’s school.

Nicole smiled. “Since it has to do with Lil Michael, you don’t have to go with me. Hurry up and go to the school to find out what’s going on.”

Clayton could not bear to leave her and held her hand, tightening it.

“Then you go first. I’ll go over to you when I’m done here.”

“It’s just for a couple of days. I’ll come back soon. You don’t have to come and look for me.”

Clayton smiled and said nothing.

Logan reminded her that it was time to board the plane, so Nicole withdrew her hand and waved. “Bye!”

Clayton nodded. “Bye.”

Clayton’s smile faded after watching her get on the plane. The school called him again.

“Mr. Sloan, Michael blew up our laboratory in order to verify the structure of the lab. Come quickly and deal with it…”

Clayton closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “Okay, I’ll be right there. Tell him to wait there!”

Clayton thought, ’I must’ve owed my son a debt in my past life!’

Liberty.

As soon as Nicole got off the plane, the person who was supposed to pick her up said that he misread the time and was stuck in traffic.

Nicole and Logan stood at the airport, looking at each other.

Fortunately, Harvey came a day early, so the time for the shooting was not delayed.

Logan stood there, contacting someone on his phone while shivering.

It was fine if he was left behind alone, but how could he afford it if Nicole was left behind as well?

Furthermore, it was winter here now and the snow was falling in a flurry. The whole scenery was covered with a blanket of snow as far as the eye could see.

Nicole changed into a thin beige coat before she got off the plane. She looked beautiful and outstanding, and she attracted a lot of attention just by standing there. Some people even cat-called her.

Logan blocked her from other people’s sight as much as possible.

However, he could also feel her shivering from the cold.

Nicole really felt like she was freezing. ’I f only I’m wearing a fur coat now!’…

Clayton gave a faint “mm” and compromised.

He knew that he had no clothes prepared here, but he deliberately said that as a hint to Nicole.

She could put some of his clothes at home.

It was best if this kind of thing happened often.

Nicole felt that it was better to let him go back to his own bathroom to shower in the future. It was too inconvenient here.

Clayton looked at the white silk robe with delicate white floral embroidery on it. It looked exquisite.

It was really a style that girls liked.

He could tell that this brand was extremely niche. It was not ostentatious and was low-key, but it was quite expensive.

Clayton put it on. It was small and could barely wrap around him.

It was the best he got.

When he walked out, Nicole had changed her clothes and was lying on the sofa watching TV. She laughed along with the variety program, looking very fascinated.

Clayton was a little disappointed. He had to use such a long time to relieve himself, but she was already back to normal so quickly?

Nicole saw him walk over and raised her brows, looking at him appreciatively wearing her dress.

“It suits you, but it’s just a little tight in the waist area. If only it were a little looser…”

She seemed to lament this little shortcoming.

Clayton’s eyes narrowed and he tugged the ruffled lace skirt.

“It suits me?”

If not for the plain color of the robe and the fact that it was unclear at a glance what gender it was for, he would never have accepted it.

Nicole squinted her eyes and appraised him. “It does! I’ll get them to make a men’s version and give one to you!”

Clayton’s temperament instantly became milder.

A men’s version?

That meant it would be a couple’s robe. Nicole was so considerate!

He cleared his throat. “I’ll go up and get changed, then come down later to watch TV with you.”

Nicole stiffened. “I told Logan to bring some documents over. You can go back and sleep. See you tomorrow!”

She waved her hand, indicating that she was not going to watch TV later.

Thus, he did not have to come down anymore.

Clayton caught what she meant and smiled, thinking that she was embarrassed.

He understood.

Clayton nodded. ’I have to give her some time to adapt…’ “Okay, see you tomorrow then.”

He walked over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

His eyes gradually deepened when he saw her scarlet lips. Nicole already pushed him away in time.

“Go on then!”

Clayton touched her hair, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the door.

The moment he opened the door, another person appeared in the doorway, panting.

The two men were instantly startled by each other. Logan looked at him in shock. “Mr. Sloan, you…” He could not help but look at the robe.

Embroidery, lace… It looked extraordinarily familiar.

Oh, it was the robe that Nicole told Logan to get custom- made.

Clayton came out dressed like this, and his hair still had some water droplets.

It was hard for people not to have crooked thoughts.

Clayton and Nicole were dating, so it was normal for them to be intimate.

However, those clothes… Was it a fetish?

For a time, Logan looked at Clayton with a complex expression.

He did not expect Clayton to have a fetish for crossdressing.

Clayton saw Logan’s complex expression, and his face became even more complicated and slightly dark.

He thought that what Nicole said was just a cop-out.

He did not expect Logan to really come.

Furthermore, Logan came so quickly?

The two men stood at the door. Who was the one who felt more awkward?

Clayton stood there with a dark and sullen face.

He was so angry that his body turned cold.

How was he supposed to show his face again?

Nicole only heard the sound of the door opening but did not hear it close.

She walked over curiously.

”You haven’t left yet?”

Then, she saw Logan standing outside and looking at Clayton in consternation.

What an awkward scene!

Clayton took a deep breath and looked at her white skin that was glowing with a flush. Her bright lips were light and shiny.

It was really driving him crazy.

His eyes grew darker.

Clayton felt like his body was about to explode, but he endured the strangeness and pressed her shoulders down so she could not move.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely with faint vindictiveness.

It was as if he wanted to kiss her until her lips were swollen. Clayton only let go when Nicole was about to run out of air. He stroked her hair. His voice was incredibly hoarse.

“Why are you so seductive?”

He seemed to sigh, and then he stood up.

Nicole looked at him in confusion. “Where are you going?” They had just been kissing and now it was over?

Clayton froze but did not turn back.

“I’m going to take a shower. Do you mind if I use your bathroom?”

Nicole said, “No…”

He walked over with large strides, already knowing the layout of the house like the back of his hand.

Nicole was confused, and her voice was very low as she muttered, “Just kissing? That’s all?”

They always stopped at this point.

Nicole naturally would not look forward to that kind of thing. She did not have much experience and did not have a good impression of it either.

However, Clayton drew away every time as if she was not attractive at all. Why was she unable to make him fascinated?

Was he able to control himself so well because she was not charming enough?

She sat up in bewilderment and touched her messy hair. Clayton heard her words and suddenly turned around.

’You want to continue?”

His answer made her body stiffen.

His eyes looked at her kindly, as if looking forward to her answer.

Nicole pursed her lips. No, of course she could not say ” yes”!

Did she look that thirsty? “No, I don’t.”

Clayton’s gaze seemed like he could eat her up. Nicole refused immediately.

Clayton lowered his eyes in disappointment and turned around to go into the bathroom.

When Nicole subconsciously withdrew her gaze and looked at his front, her face instantly flushed.

Thankfully, she refused in time.

The sound of running water started in the bathroom.

The weather was still a bit cool right now. Would he catch a cold if he took a cold shower?

Nicole thought about it and stood up.

She turned back to see herself in the mirror. Her eyes were charming, her face was bright, her red lips were seductive and swollen, and her clothes were a bit messy.

The image made Nicole shocked and slightly embarrassed.

Soon, she went to the attached bathroom in her bedroom to wash her face and calm down as well as clean herself up a little.

She instantly sobered up quite a bit.

Except for her slightly red and swollen lips, everything else was normal.

Nicole sat outside to watch TV and deliberately turned up the volume so she could not hear the sound of running water inside.

It was an entertainment program. Nathaniel was playing intimately with several ladies.

Her attention was gradually drawn.

She naturally did not hear the low sigh of relief in the bathroom.

More than twenty minutes later. Clayton knocked on the bathroom door. “Babe?”

Nicole heard his voice and walked over to stand by the door.

“Yeah?”

Clayton said, “Could you get me a shirt? My clothes are wet…”

Nicole said, “I don’t have your clothes here!” She told him the truth.

After thinking about it, she said, “Should I go up and get it

for you?”

Clayton sighed. “Do you want me to freeze to death?” Nicole was speechless.

In that case, Nicole looked for one of her bathrobes, one that was larger.

She knocked on the door and put it on the chair outside before speaking hesitantly.

“Make do with this first. It might not fit you, but it’s the biggest piece of clothing I have.”

Nicole’s body melted into a puddle, completely devoid of strength. Her entire body was controlled by Clayton.

She was surprised to find Clayton acting like a different person. Under that warm and gentle facade was a leopard that had been starving for a long time.

Nicole, on the other hand, was the prey.

At some point, Nicole was pressed onto the sofa. The large sofa dipped slightly, leaving her in a trance for a moment.

She opened her watery eyes to see Clayton leaning over her, one hand twirling a lock of her hair and the other hand caressing her waist.

Every place he touched was burning, making her tingle and shiver. Her body trembled.

Nicole struggled to restrain her breathing to calm herself down. She looked up and met Clayton’s deep, dark eyes and instantly felt like she was defeated.

His dark eyes were undisguisedly possessive and held an intense restraint.

She could feel that his body was hot and tense, and certain places were reacting too.

Nicole desperately tried to ignore the changes in his body so that she would not be repulsed by it.

She was not conservative, but she could feel that Clayton would always restrain himself the moment he lost control. She was amazed at his restraint.

According to Yvette, once a man got in bed, he would forget even his own name and turn into an animal.

However, that was not the case with Clayton, who looked at her with warmth and restraint. He could not bear to disregard her feelings.

It was as if he would never touch her unless she explicitly said ”okay”.

In the middle of her daze, Clayton suddenly dipped his head and bit her lips.

“Are you lost in thought?”

His voice was husky and seductive.

Nicole hissed in pain and winced as he gazed greedily at her bright and luscious red lips.

One of his hands snaked up her thin waist as if every inch of her skin was a precious work of art.

He moved extremely gently but could not help but feel her body meticulously.

Nicole was uncomfortable by his movements and kept squirming in his embrace.

Clayton seemed to find a new joy, watching her wriggle around in his arms.

It was admittedly very torturous.

Nicole’s face was completely flushed. This man really knew how to torture her!

She could not help but stretch out her fist and pound his chest, but her soft strength was like a massage for him.

Clayton could not help but laugh.

Nicole bit her lower lips. She knew what he was trying to do. Clayton just wanted to see her lose her composure.

Suddenly, she raised one of her pinned hands and wrapped it around his neck. Then, she pressed him down and kissed his lips fiercely.

Clayton froze, not expecting Nicole to be so bold.

However, he immediately relaxed and allowed her to kiss his lips gently.

She let go and moved downwards, looking at his bobbing Adam’s apple.

Her cold, moist lips that touched that spot for a moment caused the man to stiffen and tense up.

His wandering hands even forgot to move.

Nicole felt the result of her actions.

She was very satisfied.

Nicole kissed him gently, attacking the same spot and intermittently tormenting his every nerve.

Clayton finally could not hold back. He felt like he was going to explode.

His voice was even lower and huskier than before. ”Babe…”

His Adam’s apple bobbed the moment he spoke, and Nicole felt like she discovered something amazing. That vibrating feeling was fascinating.

She gave a soft hum as a response.

Nicole was a loyal little fan!

Kai, who was far away overseas, could not help but sneeze and rub his nose. ’Someone must be thinking about me!’

Naomi was so flattered that she laughed. The both of them talked for half a day before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Nicole told Dominic the time for the shooting and asked him to find someone to go with Harvey. She would go there as well.

After all, Nicole had not seen her idol for a long time.

When the date for the shooting was near, Nicole told Clayton that she was going abroad. Clayton said that he would go with her without even thinking about it.

The two of them sat on the sofa. They had just finished eating, so Nicole was watching TV and was shocked when she heard Clayton’s words.

“Aren’t you very busy lately?”

Clayton also had to transfer his work from abroad to develop a new base here and continue the previous business model.

He could not go to Wall Street every day, and it was a bit tedious to handle everything from afar.

Nicole also knew that it was not an easy job. Clayton stroked his brows and smiled.

“I have to accompany you even if I’m busy. I really don’t want to be separated from you.”

Nicole hugged the pillow and looked at him. “I never noticed how clingy you were.”

Clayton paused. He also did not realize that he was actually so clingy.

It was as if his heart would feel empty if he did not see her for a day.

He went over and wrapped his arm around her waist. His tone softened.

“If you don’t like it, I’ll try not to be clingy in the future, but I still wanna go.”

Nicole almost spat out the water in her mouth. She coughed heavily a few times.

The more she got to know Clayton, the more it was like opening the door to a new world.

Was this still the Clayton that she knew?

Nicole steadied her emotions and pretended to be calm. “Well, you can go if you want to.”

Nicole felt like a domineering president who could not be refused.

Was this the wrong script?

When she finished speaking, Clayton’s hand around her waist rested on her head naturally. He gently leaned over, looked at her red lips, and gave her a soft peck.

Nicole blushed slightly and looked at him with a deep gaze. He was getting bolder with his intimate actions recently. However, Nicole did not hate it at all.

Clayton stroked her delicate red lips and smiled.

“It was just a kiss. Why do you still blush so easily, Ms. Stanton? You’re making it very hard for me to continue doing bad things…”

His voice was low and husky, like a hook that wrapped around her heart.

Nicole’s face grew even redder. Without thinking, she wanted to stand up and escape this dangerous place.

However, Clayton smiled and dragged her back to sit on his lap.

Before she could react, he held her face and kissed her lips that he had coveted for so long with an irrefutable force.

They saw each other every day, stayed, and ate together all day. He always tried to make time for her for work and shopping.

However, they never went any further than holding hands and kissing.

Clayton treated her like a treasure, afraid that he would scare her off.

However, there were times when he could not help it, like

Clayton greedily kissed her lips and took in her sweetness and beauty. He teased her tongue a little, making her subconsciously soften the strength used to reject him.

When she was completely immersed in the kiss, Clayton’s advances became even more fierce as if he wanted to swallow her into his belly.

He could feel her gradually opening her heart to him and letting him into her world.

He was ecstatic at such a change…

Dominic’s words were filled with an innate ruthlessness, which shocked Fabian.

More than anything else, Fabian was terrified.

It had been a resource that belonged to another newcomer in the company, but he had wanted it too much. His manager told him not to think about it because that newcomer was someone who Dominic wanted to promote.

Just as Fabian was worried about it, Nicole came to the set, so Fabian intentionally revealed that Dominic was cold to him and did not value him.

Nicole had called Dominic immediately back then.

Although there was no explicit request for which resource it was, that ad still ended up in his hands.

Fabian thought that no one would know about it.

Unexpectedly, Dominic knew all about it.

Fabian left the venue in a daze and did not know how he managed to go back.

However, he realized that going forward, as long as he was still in the company, he had to keep his tail between his legs.

If the contract was broken, putting aside the matter of the huge compensation, Dominic would not let him off.

This matter had been the topic of discussion for a whole week.

Joseph and the capital behind him did not seem to expect the backlash of this matter to be so great.

His patron wanted to buy him the title of Best Actor so that his future path would be smoother.

In the end, the resources he had now started to watch if he had any signs of wanting to quit the circle.

Some of the scripts that were sent to his door were taken back one after another, afraid that they would be implicated if he accepted the roles.

The person who benefited most from this matter became Harvey.

Harvey’s character and charisma became a hot topic of discussion.

In less than a week, the editor-in-chief of VJ Magazine, Sully, called Nicole.

“Ms. Stanton, Harvey’s popularity is at an all-time high, and none of them are brain-dead fans. I think we should take advantage of this heat to shoot the cover. Have you contacted Naomi?”

Sully called to urge her. Nicole smiled. He even learned the term, “brain-dead fan”?

“Sure. Pick a time next week. Naomi will be free next week, so I’ll ask Harvey to prepare in advance.”

“Alright, it’s settled. I’ll go to Liberty first and wait for you.”

Nicole smiled. “Sure.”

She already contacted Naomi before, and Naomi agreed easily. It was not something hard in the first place, and VJ Magazine was quite huge, so it was not like Naomi was underselling herself.

Nicole hung up the phone and called Naomi directly.

Naomi picked up quickly. “Nikki…”

“Next week, don’t forget!”

Naomi said, “I won’t! I deliberately made time for you. Aren’t you touched?”

Nicole said, “I’m eternally grateful that you delayed your vacation!”

Naomi laughed. “What’s your third brother doing these days? Is he still acting?”

The first time Nicole met Naomi was at a private party. She did not expect to see her favorite foreign actress, Naomi, a t that party.

She asked Kai to go up and strike a conversation before introducing Nicole to her. Unexpectedly, Naomi took a liking to Kai.

Kai was so frightened that he did not dare to show his face in front of her from then on.

Unexpectedly, Naomi was still thinking about him. Nicole stammered and said, “He has a girlfriend…” Kai’s girlfriend was also Nicole’s best friend.

Naomi laughed. “I was just asking casually. I think I saw him in Hawaii, but I didn’t say hello because I thought I recognized the wrong person. I’ve had three different boyfriends since. I lost interest in him long ago!”

Nicole sighed in relief.

“I knew it. How can a guy like my third brother be worthy of you? You’re the most perfect!”

Fabian’s face became ashen.

He was just about to continue speaking when Dominic looked at him and spoke up in a cold tone with a hint of warning.

“You both work for my company, and I’ve never rejected competition before, but if you dare to let it affect the interests of the company, don’t blame me if I fall out with you.”

Fabian’s expression turned glum. He did not look good at all.

Harvey answered obediently, “Yes, I’ll do my part.” Fabian said, “Me too.”

Dominic nodded and looked at Harvey.

“I remember you have a shoot tomorrow morning. Go back early and rest.”

Harvey smiled and nodded modestly. “Yes. I’ll take my leave then.”

Harvey looked at Fabian and nodded before leaving.

As soon as Harvey left, Dominic’s expression instantly sank. He stared at Fabian and said in an extremely cold tone. “You’re pretty upset, aren’t you?”

Fabian looked up at him. The cold depression and unwillingness that had been hidden for a long time in those youthful eyes could no longer be concealed.

“Mr. Young, don’t you think that Ms. Stanton is too partial to Harvey?”

Dominic sneered. “Wasn’t she also very partial to you in the past? What? Are you jealous now?”

Fabian’s expression became unpleasant because his thoughts were exposed.

“It’s not fair to others. Look how messed up Harvey is.”

Dominic looked at him with a cold gaze.

“Is that why you talked to the judges of Superstar Awards and asked them to take care of Harvey? You must have spent a lot of money to ask them to make Harvey win the Best Actor award. I never knew that you were so selfless. You actually helped to buy relationships for other people?”

Fabian’s expression froze in an instant, and he panicked for a moment.

“I… We’re from the same company, so I wanted him to succeed!”

“Hah! Stop acting. Not only did you buy off the judges, but you also booked a trending topic with the title ’Harvey Sage’s title doesn’t match his status’.

“Am I wrong?”

As soon as Dominic finished speaking, Fabian was visibly flustered.

Fabian looked up at Dominic in shock and spilled a lot of wine from the glass in his hands.

“H-How did you…”

Dominic’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“Before you try to mess things up, you’d better figure out which company you’re from. How long have you been in this circle? Do you think that everything will go flawlessly?

The moment you brought it up, someone already tipped me off. Fabian, you’re still too inexperienced!”

Fabian’s face paled little by little, and even his lips became bloodless.

“So, you stopped it?” Dominic sneered mockingly.

“You should be glad that I was the one to stop it. If Ms. Stanton found out about this, you wouldn’t be able to stay in this circle anymore. No one would be able to protect you.”

Fabian’s expression changed a few times, and he looked up at Dominic.

“Then why didn’t you tell Ms. Stanton?”

Dominic’s gaze was clear and cold, filled with ridicule.

“Fabian, is your brain just for show? If I told her, how will you continue to stay in the company? Do you think that she’ll keep you? I’ve spent so much effort on you, so of course, you have to work hard to earn money for me. Don’t think about those trivial matters.”

Fabian looked away and sighed in relief.

Dominic glanced at Fabian and gulped down the rest of his wine.

He spoke nonchalantly.

“Also, you better not ask Nicole about getting resources again. You’ll only get resources if I give them to you. If it happens again, don’t blame me for being discourteous. I have plenty of ways to make you mess up right under her nose.”

Clayton looked at Nicole, propped his chin up with one hand, and narrowed his eyes.

“Why are you happy again all of a sudden?” Women were really strange!

Just earlier, Nicole was so angry that she wanted to smash the venue.

Nicole looked at Clayton with a smile. “What’s there to be sad about? Fortunately, I didn’t pull any strings. Otherwise, the one being scolded now would be Harvey.”

Clayton frowned slightly when he heard Harvey’s name.

He reached out to hold her soft hand and forced his voice to be calm.

“It’s over now, so stop thinking about it. Don’t you think that you brought up Harvey’s name too many times today?”

Nicole blinked, suddenly realizing something was off. She raised her eyebrows.

“Did I?”

Clayton nodded seriously.

“Too much!”

Her attention today was completely on Harvey.

Nicole frowned as she thought about it. ’Maybe he’s right. After all, I came here to support Harvey.’

She smiled, hardly able to contain her excitement.

“The heavens are really helping me! With this, Harvey will become popular even if he doesn’t want to!”

Clayton was speechless. ’So, in the end, it’s still about him.

Dominic was in a good mood and finished attend ing the dinner before leaving.

After all, Falcon Entertainment was too closely linked to the circle. It would not be good if he blew them off.

Fabian looked pale and gloomy as if he was dispirited.

Harvey calmly exchanged pleasantries with others and did not look like he had suffered a blow.

Dominic leaned against the wine cabinet at the side, looking at the two most popular artists.

In the past, Dominic put all the capital on Fabian, who had lived up to his expectations.

However, after today, it seemed like Harvey, who Nicole was supporting, was more superior.

Fabian came over with a glass of wine and put on a forced smile.

“Mr. Young, I’m not feeling too well, and I still have a recording tomorrow, so I’ll leave first.”

Dominic was still his superior after all, so Fabian acted appropriately and came over to greet Dominic.

Fabian always performed such courtesies silently, making people like him.

Dominic snapped back to reality and answered in acknowledgment.

Fabian wanted to say something, but finally, he closed his mouth and turned around. A few steps later, Dominic suddenly called after him.

“Fabian, don’t try to be a smart*ss. Sometimes, you might overreach yourself.”

Fabian’s body stiffened slightly, and his face paled.

He slowly turned around. “Mr. Young, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.”

Dominic did not speak. Harvey had arrived in front of him.

Harvey looked at Fabian and nodded his head in greeting.

Then, Harvey looked at Dominic. “Mr. Young, I hadn’t had a chance to thank you for arranging me to be the finale.”

Dominic raised his brows. “How did you know that I arranged it?”

Harvey pursed his lips and smiled. “It’s such an important occasion, and there are plenty of people with high status and more experience than me. How would they know of me if not for you, Mr. Young?”

To the side, Fabian could not help but laugh softly. Fabian looked at Harvey.

“You must be joking, Harvey. Even if Mr. Young wasn’t around, you have Ms. Stanton. Right now, you’re the person that Ms. Stanton values most. It’s just a shame. I thought that you’d win the Best Actor award tonight. Unfortunately … Ahem. Harvey, why don’t you ask Ms. Stanton about that? If even scum like Joseph could get the Best Actor award, why not give it to you?”

Dominic’s expression turned a little angry, and his smile faded. He looked at Fabian with a slightly cold gaze.

Harvey was stunned before suddenly smiling and shaking his head.

“Ms. Stanton is my benefactor, and Mr. Young is my boss.

Only my boss will be so thoughtful as to do everything for me. I didn’t get the Best Actor award because I still have

room for improvement. How can I blame Ms. Stanton for that?”

The two of them left one after the other. Even their backs looked good.

As soon as Nicole left her seat, she called Dominic.

“Did you see that?! Who added Joseph into the nominee pool? How did a guy like that win the Best Actor award? Any random actor would’ve been better than him!”

Dominic could not help but laugh. “I knew that you’d get angry.”

“Aren’t you?”

Nicole retorted.

Dominic said, “Look at the trending topics online. The netizens are way angrier than you. Joseph basically destroyed the sparse relations he built up. He beat both Harvey and a veteran actor. How shameful is that?”

Nicole hung up the phone and immediately went online.

Clayton was beside her, holding her arm and pulling her into the car. He could not help but sigh when he saw her focused expression.

Nicole did not care and concentrated on the phone.

The top trending topic read. [“Best” Actor Joseph Valencia. The Superstar Awards is his backyard!]

The comments below really did not disappoint Nicole.

[I never expected the person with the worst acting skills to win Best Actor. I’m so heartbroken for that senior actor who’s just a runner-up…]

[I was torn between supporting the senior actor or Harvey Sage, but now there’s no need to be conflicted. Let’s all scold Joseph Valencia!]

[The five people who could act ended up as runners-up for a person who can’t act. It’s really the most ridiculous joke of the year!]

[Doesn’t he feel guilty for accepting that award?

His film got a review of 2.8/10, but he managed to win Best Actor?]

[Any of the other five people are better than him. Did the judging panel receive a bribe?]

[In terms of capital, Harvey is an artist of Falcon Entertainment. In other words, he’s under Kai Stanton’s banner, but he didn’t get the award. If Joseph got the award, I wonder if it means his backer is stronger than Falcon Entertainment?]

Nicole finished reading and exhaled an angry breath.

She instantly felt much better.

She exited the page and took a look. Harvey’s name was second on the trending topics.

[Harvey’s disappointed look is so heartbreaking!] [Harvey’s senior is comforting him.]

Although it looked childish, the netizens still zoomed in on Harvey’s micro-expressions from the short clips they got.

They were more than happy to explain Harvey’s expressions in the direction they found.

Especially when the camera panned over to Harvey’s calm smile which did not have a trace of joy.

The way the veteran actor next to him comfortingly patted his hand was very heartfelt.

It was as if he knew that Harvey deserved the award, but it had been taken away from him instead.

Harvey watched it get snatched away yet was powerless to do anything.

All this made the netizens even more indignant.

The senior actor’s consolation looked more like acknowledgment and heartache for Harvey.

With Harvey’s ability, he was fully capable of holding the title of Best Actor.

This way, it made the fact that Joseph won Best Actor more ridiculous.

Basically, no one congratulated Joseph on winning the award. Even the artists present did not want to say anything.

Once the awards ceremony was over, no one was in the mood to attend the after-party and left.

It was the most dismal awards ceremony ever. It was like a joke.

The credibility of the Superstar Awards also suffered a blow. It originally had a decent standard, so no one was able to tell if only a few small strings were pulled.

However, this was such an obvious disparity. Superstar Awards gave the award to a person without any acting skills. It was basically telling people that the award could be bought with money.

This way, the awards that others in the circle worked so hard to get had become completely worthless.

Nicole figured this out, and her mood suddenly improved.

Clayton said, “Do you think the awards reception is just a summary and commendation ceremony? This is another investment promotion. The organizers would want nothing more than to replace all of the nominees with celebrities with huge followings, but if they do that, everyone will look at them like they’re watching a farce. That’s why there are people from the acting circle here.”

Nicole glanced at him. “You’re quite knowledgeable.”

“It’s all thanks to you.”

Clayton had really studied the entertainment industry some time ago in order to get close to her.

However, the risk was too great. It was even riskier than the stock market. If a scandal of a celebrity spread, the capital behind them would definitely be implicated.

However, humans were creatures with emotions, and they sought out pleasures. How would they be as stable as a product?

Moreover, this circle was too dirty.

As soon as Clayton hinted that he wanted to invest, people started to throw all sorts of women at him. It was just disgusting.

Thus, Clayton gave up investing in the entertainment industry.

However, he never mentioned any of this to Nicole before, afraid of polluting her ears.

The guest of honor began to announce the winner for the Best Actor award, and the music also changed into a drumroll.

The drumbeat was suspenseful and hypnotic.

“The award for Best Actor goes to… Joseph Valencia!” The whole audience was shocked.

Everyone looked at each other.

The applause only started sparsely under the host’s prompt, but the actors who had some fame in the circle sat there without moving.

As they sat there, many people were only hearing the name “Joseph Valencia” for the first time.

Best Actor?

It was absolutely ridiculous.

Joseph Valencia was that celebrity who acted awkwardly in the short film and could not even deliver his lines.

He defeated the two hottest competitors, an acting veteran and Harvey Sage, to win the award for Best Actor!

Nicole’s expression became complicated and stiff for a moment as if she was forced to eat a mouthful of greasy cake and she had nowhere to spit it out.

She sat in her chair, but she looked like she could not bear to continue sitting much longer.

Clayton patted her hand and soothed her emotions.

“Don’t rush. Since it’s come to this point, at least finish watching before you leave.”

Nicole gritted her teeth. “If this was my house, I’d have smashed this venue!”

It was supposed to be a proper awards ceremony, but it just ended up making her feel revolted.

The actors below also smiled but did not say anything.

When the cameras filmed the people below, everyone’s micro-expressions were slightly weird but surprisingly uniform.

Under the sparse applause, the next item followed… Clayton sat there leisurely, watching the show.

Everything went according to how Clayton imagined it.

The investor behind Joseph must have wanted him to be popular. Clayton wondered who the person was.

Many of the bigwigs in the business world beside him smiled meaningfully.

“That Joseph Valencia… Oh, which company is he from?”

“Who knows? My daughter seems to like him. I thought that he was a woman at first…”

“Hahaha, looks like this wave of heat is pretty strong. It’s much better than spending money!”

Nicole sat there, quietly looking on coldly.

On the big screen, when the camera swept over to Harvey, he was smiling very decently. There was forbearance in his modesty and a faint disappointment at the corners of his lips.

Harvey just so happened to be sitting next to the veteran actor who was nominated with him.

The actor seemed to be aware of Harvey’s disappointment and reached out to pat the back of Harvey’s hand.

It seemed like he was consoling Harvey. The ceremony finally ended.

Nicole stood up, unable to stand it anymore.

To the side, an old boss spoke up. “Ms. Stanton, Mr. Sloan, will you attend the reception later?”

Nicole pursed her lips. “No. Everyone, please enjoy yourselves.”

Clayton smiled and said, “Farewell…”
