Clayton suddenly stood up. His face was glum from holding back. He did not lose his temper over such a trivial matter due to his good upbringing.

”It’s fine. I’ll go to the washroom.” Clayton looked at Nicole as he spoke.

Nicole nodded, and Clayton strode away with his long legs.

Ava stood there guiltily. ”I was too careless. How could I b e so stupid? Nicole, your boyfriend won’t be mad at me, right?”

Nicole slowly took a sip of the red wine. “He won’t.” ’He’ll just hate you.’

Ava sat back in her seat, nervous and worried.

“No, I have to go check if he needs help or not. Nicole, wait here…”

Nicole raised her brows. Her smile deepened. “Sure…”

She seemed to understand who Ava came here for.

After a while, the waiter came up, blushing and hesitating t o speak.

“Ms. Stanton, I think your friend is being pestered by that woman. Are you sure you don’t want to go and have a look?”

Nicole paused. Then, she stood up while holding the glass o f wine.

”Thank you. I’ll go look.”

Even the waiter could not stand it anymore. How shameless was that woman?

Nicole walked to the corridor that had some exquisite antique vases and decorative paintings around. It was clear that the restaurant went through great efforts to improve its style.

Before Nicole could admire the decorative paintings on the wall, she heard Clayton’s suppressed voice rebuking, ” You’re Nicole’s classmate.

Please conduct yourself properly.”

“I just want you to take off your soiled clothes so I can wash them. You won’t misunderstand me, right? Besides, Nicole changes her man on a daily basis and has seen her fair share of men. She’ll probably forget all about you. You should open your eyes and see clearly.

There are rumors among our classmates that her reputation isn’t good. She only knows how to pretend to be lofty in front of her ex- husband, but who knows how she is privately…”

Clayton’s cold and stern voice interrupted her.

“Ms. York, it’s appalling to talk about others behind their backs. I don’t want to listen to it either.”

Clayton wanted to leave, but Ava stopped him. Her seductive look was breathtaking as she parted her red lips.

“Why don’t you want to hear this? Don’t you want to know her?”

“That’s because everything that comes out of your mouth is garbage.”

Clayton turned and pushed Ava away to go out when he saw Nicole leaning on the wall, gently swirling the glass of red wine in her hand.

He froze for a moment.

His face was gloomy, and there was no warmth or softness in his eyes. He looked completely different from the usual Clayton Sloan.

’So, even Clayton could get angry…’ Nicole smiled and looked at him with raised brows.

Just as Nicole was about to speak, Ava came out.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked aggrieved. It did not match those fox-like eyes of hers at all and made her look a little phony.

“What did I do wrong? Do you hate me? Nicole and I are classmates. How would I have improper thoughts about her boyfriend?”

Ava wiped her tears as she came out and saw that Clayton had not left.

She looked up and saw Nicole standing there.

Nicole’s posture was somewhat careless and lazy, but she looked bright and elegant.

However, Nicole’s beautiful eyes were flooded with cold intent.

Ava froze and walked over with a smile, pretending that nothing happened.

“I said that I would pay for a new shirt, but your boyfriend refused. He’s so sweet…”

Clayton frowned gloomily. He pursed his lips and did not speak.

Nicole coolly and elegantly walked up to Ava. Her gaze was cold as she raised her chin slightly.

“There’s no need to pay, since… We’re even now.”

Nicole took a sip of lemonade and looked at Ava with a smile.

“I can’t help it. My life is good.”

Nicole would have gotten back at Ava if it was someone else.

When Nicole woke up, she had to be responsible for the livelihood of tens of thousands of people under her hands. She could not even bear to eat if there was just the slightest turbulence in the stock market.

’It’s hard for me as a president too, okay?’

Nicole thought. Ava choked and felt like cotton was stuffed into her throat.

She smiled and took out her phone. “Why don’t we add each other on WhatsApp? We’ll keep in contact…”

Nicole’s eyes flashed and she hesitated for a split second before agreeing.

“Sure.:”

She really wanted to know what purpose Ava had for showing up here.

After adding Nicole’s contact, Ava pushed her phone to Clayton and batted her seductive eyes, smiling flirtatiously.

“Let’s add each other too.”

Clayton refused gently. “No, I don’t use social media often.”

Ava’s hand rested on her chin. Her eyes moved slightly and flickered between him and Nicole.

“Isn’t that an excuse? What kind of person doesn’t use social media? Could it be that Nicole doesn’t allow you to talk to other women? How could Nicole be such a petty person?”

Nicole smiled and raised her brows. She looked at Clayton. “Yes, just add her. It might be useful…”

Clayton looked troubled. He was obviously reluctant.

However, since Nicole said so, he could not refuse. He had no choice but to add Ava’s contact.

Nicole glanced at Clayton’s front page. Ava immediately sent him a “shooting heart” emoji. It was very cute and adorable.

She then looked at her own front page.

It was empty. Nicole was suddenly lost in thought.

However, Clayton did not reply at all. He looked at Nicole gently. “Have you ordered yet?”

Nicole raised her chin. “It’s Ms. York’s treat, so I didn’t hold back and invited my colleagues to eat together.”

Ava smiled. “Yes, we’re old classmates, so there’s no need t o be polite. At most, you guys can treat me to dinner the next time!”

Tit-for-tat. There will be a next time.

Nicole was silent for a few seconds and smiled.

However, Clayton’s eyes twitched slightly. He immediately understood Nicole’s attitude.

If Ava was a real friend, Nicole would not be so senseless and try to take a mile when given an inch.

At that moment, he silently helped straighten Nicole’s scarf which she threw to the side.

The waiter served the dishes. The table was not big, so it was soon filled up.

“Ms. Stanton, there are still many dishes left…”

Nicole smiled. “My colleagues will be here in a moment. Put them on the rest of the seats. You don’t have to serve other guests this noon.”

The waiter nodded. ”Understood, Ms. Stanton.”

Not long after, the waiter brought up the wine, and Ava hurriedly took it. ”Let me…”

She smiled and poured a glass for Nicole.

“I really envy you for having such a thoughtful and rich boyfriend. Aren’t you rich people very particular about marriage? Your boyfriend’s family must be rich, right? You were at the peak of life as soon as you were born, and there were plenty of men chasing after you. You can get anyone with just a hook of your fingers. As for me, I’ve been fighting alone and still don’t have a boyfriend yet…”

Ava looked at Clayton with her seductive and wandering eyes. She flashed him a brilliant smile. Suddenly, her hand shook.

The wine spilled.

”I’m sorry. I was too careless. Let me help you…”

Ava went around the table and tried to help Clayton to wipe his clothes that were stained with wine.

Nicole nodded in confusion. She really did not remember.

Ava York already sat down opposite her. The corners of her seductive eyes curled up and could

hook people’s souls away.

Ava smiled generously, with an indomitable and strong temperament. “What a coincidence. |

didn’t expect to meet you here. It been a long time since I’ve met an old classmate.”

Nicole smiled politely and said nothing.

‘The waiter served her lemonade. Nicole looked at Ava and asked, “Are you here for lunch too?”

Nicole implied that Ava should leave. Strangers would affect her appetite.

Ava nodded. “Yes, | just transferred to Mediania for work and I’m not familiar with this place.

Fortunately, | met you. Have you ordered? Let’s eat together. This meal is on me..”

Nicole frowned and watched as Ava started to tell the waiter to get the menu.

‘The only people Nicole met who were 5o naturally friendly with strangers were always actors.

Ava ordered several signature dishes and handed the menu to Nicole. “What do you want to

eat? Don’t hold back. | told you that it’s my treat!”

Nicole paused. She felt that there was something off with Ava, so she decided not to be polite.

She blinked and looked at the waiter.

“Give me everything on the menu..”

Ava’s expression changed for an instant. “You’re eating so much?”

Nicole explained softly, “| came here with a colleague. If you do mind, then Il pay instead.”

Since Ava already said that she would pay, how could she g o back on her word? ~ Ava felt a sudden ache in her heart. ‘A trust-fund baby is really different… Nicole didn’t even ;

glance at the prices.’ 1

“Of course, | don’t mind. We haven’t seen each other n 5o long, 5o it’s only natural that | treat

you and your colleagues to a meal” 3

Nicole’s gaze flickered. She looked at Ava warmily and smiled.

The clothes Ava was wearing also started at five figures, o she did not seem to be shrt of

money.

Her makeup was exquisite, and it was clear at a glance that she came prepared. |

Awoman’s most direct weapon was their bag. Since Ava was 5o meticulous in her preparation, |

she would definitely bring her most expensive bag. }

The bag Ava was holding was the latest model from XN, worth seven figures. |

However, compared to Nicole’s eight-dligit Hermes, it was not even worth mentioning. }

After being in ths circle for a long time, Nicole could tel a person’s identity just by their bag. |

Ava did not talk like an ordinary sociaite. She was calculating, shrewd, and knew when to be }

generous and 2/4 when to hold back. |

If Nicole had not grown up following Floyd and Grant’s words to observe people carefully, she |

would have liked this naturally friendly Ava very much.

Unfortunately, Ava was exposed the moment she appeared Nicole looked down and sent a

message to Logan, asking the secretary department to come over for lunch. |

Logan replied excitedly, “We’l be right therel”

Ava was about to say something when Clayton arrived, I was only a ltle late, but you already

met a friend?” Clayton stood beside Nicole and patted her shoulder. Nicole smiled and took the seat inside to make room for him.

Ava stood up in surprise and tried to shake his hand.

“Hello, I’m Nicole’s classmate. Are you her boyfriend?”

Out of politeness, Clayton simply touched her hand before shrinking back. not wanting to keep

in contact with her a second longer.

‘Ava did not find it awkward. “Wow, your boyfriend is so handsome. What does he do?”

Clayton paused and looked at Nicole.

Nicole said with a smile, “Ms. York just returned to Mediania and doesn’t know much about local

affairs.”

She looked at Ava and did not explain her relationship with Clayton.

Clayton smiled modestly and was very polite.

“ljust run a small business. Its not worth mentioning.”

Ava sighed quietly. “Bosses like you two really have it good, unlike people like me, who still have

to work for others. Nicole came from a rich fam ily and only needs to think about how to spend

money when she wakes up every day. As for me. | have to think about going to work to make

money to support the family. It’s really miserable having to continuously read social cues and

‘advance step by step…”

In the end. Yuliana could not let go of the achievement she had at her fingertips.

Nicole paused and nodded. “Alright. fine.”

Tt was not a difficult task.

Yuliana sighed with relief and looked at Nicole gratefully.* Thank you, Ms. Stanton. | really

appreciate itl”

Nicole remembered Clayton’s words and suddenly looked u p “You’ve really never abused the

child before?”

Yuliana was surprised. “Of course not. | barely stay at home for a few days a year and only have a

handful of opportunities to see the child. How would | do something like that?”

Nicole nodded calmly. “Okay. Il inform you when I’ve arranged the time and place.”

It seemed like even if Nicole investigated the matter to the end, it was Andrew’s side that was

the most abominable. It was either that or the nanny who was watching the child.

Yuliana stood up with a smile. “Okay, Il go back and prepare. Ms. Stanton, | also hope that you

‘can meet someone you like sooner and have a lovely baby..”

Nicole looked up at her speechlessly. Those words made her not want to help Yuliana anymore.

Yuliana left feeling at ease. She was not only looking at Nicole’s abilty, but that if Nicole sed the power of Stanton

Corporation to send the child away, And rew would have some scruples even if he noticed something.

“Andrew wanted his child to live, but my daughter had to pay with her ife? Dream on!’

Not long after, Logan came back.

“President., the lost item i indeed in the R&D department’s Marcus’s house. We’ve retrieved the

item and sued him in the name of the company. A report has been filed with HR.”

Nicole nodded and suddenly remembered something. “Go check if Andrew has 2 son with

leukemia.”

Logan paused. “He does. President Grant investigated him before and found that it was true.”

Nicole pursed her lips. It looked like Yuliana did not lie to her.

“Alight, | got it

Logan said, “Mr. Sloan has been waiting outside for a while. He asked if he could come in.”

Nicole could not help but sigh. Yuliana charged in while Clayton waited outside. They were really

different kinds of people.

Afterward, Clayton slowly walked in with a gentle face and nodded at Logan before he turned to Nicole.

I had some business and was just passing by, so | thought I’d come to see you. Would you like

to eat lunch together?” Nicole smiled and hesitated, and then Clayton said thoughtfully. “IL ask again in the evening if

F’m bothering 2/4

you now.”

Nicole paused. “You’re not a bother.”

Dinner together would feel more lie a date. Forget it…

Nicole went out with her phone and her extremely expensive Hermes bag.

The restaurant was near the office and was stylishly decorated, but the price of the food

dissuaded a lot of people.

Therefore, it won the favor of many senior managers nearby.

The atmosphere here was excellent. and the air freshener used was all at least six figures, 50 it

was in ine with the service fees they charged.

The people who come here would not choose private rooms because the outside environment

was more elegant and comfortable.

Clayton went to park the car, and Nicole sat down first and prepared to order.

As Nicole carefully read through the menu. a strong smell o f perfume wafted over, so Nicole

raised her head.

Awoman in a bright red dress and high heels stood in front of Nicole. Her eye makeup was

exquisite and bold, and her gestures were seductive yet with a strong sense of purpose.

This was what Nicole could tell at a glance after so many years in the business world.

The woman’s fragrance forced its way in front of Nicole as she smiled in surprise. “Nicole Stanton? It really is you | thought | was mistaken…

Nicole frowned. “You are..?”

“You don’t remember? I’m Ava York. We were classmates. We were in the same class in

university… But it fine.

You’re a busy woman, so, naturally, you don’t remember. Besides, I’ve also changed a lot since |

got cosmetic surgery.”

Only the head of the R&D department would be able to get the finished product.

Nicole’s face was somewhat cold, and there was a chill in her eyes. ’Something like this was happening right under m y nose. How revolting! Andrew Zeno…’

“Ms. Stanton, if you don’t believe me, you can go and see if your company is missing one of the devices. As far as I know, the device has arrived at Andrew’s brother-in-law’s home.”

Nicole raised her eyes, her face cold and calm.

She smiled. “Ms. Yuliana, did you specifically wait for them to steal the item before you came to tell me this news?”

Yuliana froze and lowered her head. Nicole got to the point.

“Yes, otherwise you wouldn’t believe me even if I said it…”

Nicole chuckled and called Logan in. “Call the police. The company lost something. Investigate the manager of the R &D department and suspend him from all duties.”

Logan glanced at Yuliana and immediately nodded. ” Understood.”

Nicole gave Yuliana her phone back. “If it’s true, how do you want me to thank you?”

Yuliana sighed in relief. “There’s no need for thanks. Ms. Stanton helped me last time, so it’s only natural that I return the favor.”

Nicole looked at her and raised her brows.

“Oh? In that case, then I won’t be courteous.”

Everyone was too tired to wear masks. If Yuliana was not direct with what she wanted, Nicole would not insist on it.

Yuliana’s expression stiffened. “Well, if you could help send my child abroad…”

Nicole stared straight at her and frowned.

Yuliana bowed her head and lowered her eyes. “Then I would be very grateful.”

“I don’t understand what you mean, Ms. Yuliana.”

Yuliana took a deep breath. “You don’t know this, but Andrew has a child of his own. Despite that, he’s always keeping an eye on his illegitimate daughter and me. Why is that?”

Indeed, this was what Nicole was curious about.

“It’s because the child he has with his wife has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. They secretly brought my daughter over for a test and found that she’s a n exact match!”

Yuliana’s eyes reddened, but her face was ferocious.

She gritted her teeth. “They treat my daughter like she’s a tool. She’s not even ten years old, but this will give her psychological trauma, not to mention that it’s not good for her development. I can’t let her suffer like this, much less let that shameless couple take advantage of her!”

It was Nicole’s first time seeing a mistress call the rightful spouse a shameless couple.

“If it’s just sending the child abroad, you should be able to d o it as well, right?”

Nicole looked at her. Actors were among the high-income 2/?

group, not to mention, an actress who was soon to become an A-lister. Why did Yuliana have to ask Nicole for help?

Yuliana lowered her eyes. “My every move is being watched by Andrew’s people. If I step foot abroad, he can steal the child back in an instant. I can’t take the risk. Ms. Stanton, help me send the child out secretly and don’t tell anyone about her whereabouts. When things settle, I will go pick her up…”

It seemed like a good idea.

“But isn’t it too inconvenient for a child to stay alone abroad?”

Nicole meant that it was best if she sent Yuliana abroad as well to make it easier to take care of the child.

After all, when Nicole went abroad by herself, the Stanton family had been on edge the entire time. They called her 180 times a day, and even Grant wanted to come over just t o cook for her…

Yuliana smiled awkward Iy. “It’s fine. She’s used to being alone. I can’t leave… My career is on the rise now. The best time for an actress is in the first two years, so I have to stay. If I disappear in front of the public for more than three days, people will forget about me…”

Stanton Corporation.

Nicole was much more relaxed after Grant came back.

She was leisurely sipping coffee and reading documents in the office.

When Nicole looked up at the clock and planned to go out for lunch, Logan came in.

“President, Yuliana i here..

Nicole frowned and suddenly remembered that she had been involved with Yuliana’s incident

with Andrew Zeno at the golf club.

“Tum her away.”

Logan nodded and was just about to leave when Yuliana pushed the door in sideways. Yuliana

wore sunglasses and a scarf that covered her face tightly.

It was s if she was afraid that people would not know that she was a public figure.

Nicole frowned and looked at her coldly. Call security..” She was not polite at all.

Nicole helped Yuliana before, but the woman did not even thank her and had simply left.

Now, Nicole did not want to care about whether Yuliana or Andrew was the child abuser and liar.

It was none of her concern.

Yuliana came in in panic. took off her sunglasses, and looked at Nicole pitifully. “Ms. Stanton. just give me five minutes. | came here to thank you for your help last time.”

Nicole raised her brows. “No need. Ms. Yuliana, you’re a busy person so it mustn’t have been

easy for you to remember such a trvial matter.”

The comers of Yuliana’s mouth tightened. .. | was afraid that Andrew’s people would catch me.

501 ran. When |

went back to the set afterward, my phone was taken away by my agent. I’m really sorry.”

Nicole did not want to hear her reasons and smiled. “If there’s nothing else. you can leave now.”

Yuliana pursed her lips, looking a lttle nervous.

“I know that Stanton Corporation might be cooperating with Andrew. | came here to stop it It’s

really not because of my personal business.”

At those words, Nicole paused and waved for Logan to leave.

Only Yuliana and her were left i the office.

Nicole took a sip of coffee leisurely. “What’ i it for you to stop our cooperation?”

Yuliana sat across from her. Compared to the last time they met. Yuliana looked much more

refreshed. Her makeup was exquisite.

“Ms. Stanton. Andrew’s production line i close to shutting down. If you sign the contract, he

intends to outsource it to another manufacturer and take the eliminated defective products to

deal with Stanton Corporation’s contract.

That’s because he intends to give up this production line. He wants to partner with others to

copy and imitate the core technology, but he’s just lacking money for the down payment…”

Nicole was calm as she looked at Yuliana. “Why should | believe you?”

Yuliana pursed her lips. “Stanton Corporation has a manager in the R&D department. He has the

latest finished pacemaker in his hands, right? This manager just married Andrews sister afew

days ago. He also bought shares in Andrew’s new company.” 1

As she spoke, Yuliana took out her phone and found a picture.

It was a group photo of the wedding. 1

In that group photo, Andrew was smiling while standing behind, and the groom in front did

indeed look familiar. i

Nicole knew the groom. He was also present during the meeting for the R&D department. |

In that case, Yuliana’s words were highly credible.

Originally, they did not intend to continue to cooperate, but according to Yuliana, Andrew was

planning to steal their technology? 1

‘This cardiac pacemaker was a medical device developed by Stanton Corporation and was

currently only available in limited quantities to major hospitals to test their efficiency. Each 1

device was numbered and equipped with alarm feedback.

When the efficiency report came out, they would increase the production on a limited scale. 1

At present. although the feedback for the efficiency was widely praised, the expert reviewhad

not started yet, so they were still in a wait-and-see situation. 1

Only middle and senior management would be able to get this insider information.

Although the workplace had always clamored for gender equality, when it came to measuring room for improvement, everyone was still involuntarily biased to women.

Eric was silent and did not speak.

Asher said, ”But I’m more optimistic about Ava. She handles things well, and she has already reached this point even though she’s only in her twenties. We can market her a s a beautiful president striving for success. She might even be a living signboard for the Asian region!”

Eric’s voice was cold.

“Don’t think I don’t know how she climbed to this position. Her little tricks are no match for Nash’s real skills!”

Asher stiffened.

It was silent for a few seconds.

Then, Asher’s lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

“Is there a need to make such a fuss of social gatherings in the business world? You remind me of Annie… Oh, your ex- wife!”

Eric froze and suddenly looked up, his eyes staring coldly at Asher.

“Who are you talking about?”

“Annie. I heard that she’s the President of Stanton Corporation. She used to work as an intern for me for two months when she was in Europe. I didn’t expect her background to be so deep. A trust fund baby actually went to Cyndro International as an intern?”

Asher clicked his tongue. He never expected it.

“Nicole Stanton? She worked at Cyndro International before?”

Eric raised his voice, his tone extremely cold.

Asher nodded. “Yeah. Isn’t she your ex-wife? You didn’t know?”

He shook his head and sighed, lost in his memories.

“Out of so many interns, I chose her because she was beautiful, capable, and willing to bear hardships. I planned on training her as a confidant, so I took her with me for everything. Later, when we were at a party, a customer drank too much and insisted on making her drink too. He was just about to sign the contract. I just wanted her to take a sip. I personally poured the wine for her, so there was no problem with it.

In the end, she threw the wine on my face and resigned on the spot. That memory is deeply engraved in my mind. We haven’t been in touch ever since!”

Eric’s face was unfathomable, and his eyes were dark and deep. ’Turns out that there was already a connection in our lives so long ago. How good would it be if only we’d met earlier?’

Asher did not notice Eric’s mood at all and shook his head.

“It turns out that she’s the daughter of Stanton Corporation. It’s no wonder she’s tough enough to pour wine on her boss’s head. She sure is confident…”

Eric lifted his dark eyes.

“Do you still have her information at that time?”

“It’s long gone. She was just an intern, and Cyndro International back then wasn’t as strict as it is now. She only left a phone number, but when I saw her just now, she

still seemed to hate my guts…”

Asher was a little disappointed. ’I had high hopes for her!’

The office was silent for a while.

Eric rubbed his temples. ”Let’s put aside the matter of appointing a president for the Asian region first. We’ll observe for a while.”

Asher smiled. “Don’t say I didn’t remind you. The two of them won’t just sit around and do nothing. I’m afraid they’re already in Mediania…”

Eric was silent and did not make a sound, looking indifferent.

To him, if they did not fight, that meant they did not have motivation. However, if they fought, that meant they were too selfish. Even Asher was not sure what Eric wanted in the end.

A few days later.

The infighting in Ferguson Corporation was not as serious as expected, and the calm waves were settled by Eric.

In a luxury hotel, a naked woman and Asher tumbled on the bed.

After the passion.

The woman pouted and started the subject. “Mr. Sullivan, have you heard from Mr. Ferguson about the president for the Asian region?”

Asher unceremoniously got up and put on his clothes.

”I don’t know…”

After saying that, Nicole carried Tigger and went upstairs. Grant came down the stairs, his face as cold as ever. “Didn’t the party end long ago?”

“I had something to do. Do you know about what happened with the Ferguson family?”

Grant had always been well-informed. News about Cyndro International belonging to Eric had already spread before the banquet was over.

Although it was surprising, it was not earth-shattering news.

He nodded. “Didn’t you intern at Cyndro International for a while? They don’t know about it, do they?”

Nicole pursed her lips. “Eric shouldn’t know, but Asher probably does. It’s fine if they know. They won’t dare to bring it up and announce it anyway.”

Grant thought about it.

There was no emotion on his cold face as he said, “I’m afraid it won’t be quiet for a while after Ferguson Corporation’s reshuffle. Ferguson Corporation’s side branches will lose benefits and kick up a fuss. We can just watch from a distance this time.”

Nicole was surprised for a moment and nodded.

Although they knew that this was Eric’s plan, to the side branches, it seemed more like Old Master Ferguson had colluded with Eric to trick them.

There might even be infighting.

Grant rubbed his temples. “By the way, Andrew Zeno looked for me quite a few times, but I didn’t agree to sign the contract. As of now, we know that he doesn’t only have problems in his private life. There are also problems with his products…”

Nicole was shocked for a moment.

Andrew’s company’s product quality was considered one o f the best in the industry, which was why Stanton Corporation continued to cooperate with them.

If their quality dropped, then there was no need to cooperate anymore. Survival of the fittest was very prevalent in this industry, and it was not uncommon for such companies to spring up like mushrooms after the rain.

“Let’s look into it later. It’s better to be cautious…”

Fortunately, she planned to raise the costs for him before. If the quality was unacceptable, then her actions would

have been redundant.

Grant nodded and yawned before going out.

Nicole was surprised. “Big Brother, where are you going this late?”

Grant responded lazily, “To pick Aida up from work…” Nicole was speechless.

What an unexpected hit of PDA!

Somewhere along the line, Kai also changed his clothes. He looked at the time and was planning to leave.

Nicole said, “K, you’re going out too?”

Kai smiled wickedly. “Julie didn’t eat much at night, so I’m going to bring her some food…”

Nicole blinked.

“Then I’ll go too. I haven’t seen her for a long time!” Kai’s expression changed as he looked at her seriously.

“A third wheel will just disturb us. I advise you to stay home Nicole was speechless.

How infuriating!

She stomped up the stairs and did not want to see her brothers anymore.

Ferguson Corporation.

In Eric’s office, Asher looked at the takeout in front of him in exasperation.

“I flew all the way here, and this is what you want me to eat?”

Although it was made by a master chef in a famous Michelin restaurant, the location was wrong.

’Putting aside that there’s no candlelit dinner, am I not worthy of getting a flower at least?’ Asher thought.

Eric sat there with his nose held high. His face was cold, and his voice was extremely light.

“You don’t have to eat if you don’t want to.”

The standard would not be raised anyway.

Asher was speechless.

He drank a lot of wine at the party earlier and did not have much of an appetite now.

“By the way, has the president for the Asian region been appointed?”

The presidents from each region were all appointed by Eric using headquarters’ name, but Asher would meet with them one by one.

Eric’s eyes were slightly deep. ”Nash Jones and Ava York.

You recommended these two?”

Asher chuckled in a low voice. “Their performance and ability are the strongest. Nash strives for stability, while Ava has zest and vigor. Unfortunately, she’s a woman…”

Nicole was just about to laugh and discuss with Clayton about the predictable plot, only to turn

to the side and see Clayton’s pale face as he covered his face.

He did not dare to look at the screen at all!

Nicole was a lttle surprised. ‘A man like him is afraid of this?”

“Mr. Sloan, are you alright?”

When Clayton heard Nicole’s voice, he pursed his lips, put his hands down, and turned to look at

her as if nothing was wrong.

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

However, his smile was a lttle wan.

Nicole laughed. She could not help but laugh when she realized that Clayton was afraid of

horror films.

“Look. the girl should be pulling the door instead. The door won’t open because she’s pushing

it.”

Clayton tumed his head to look. just in time to see a female ghost with long hair suddenly

appear on the screen. He jumped in fear.

There was some surprise in those dark eyes, and his finger bones were well defined as he

grabbed onto the armrest. He looked like he was in shock.

He said in a hoarse voice, “Oh, right…” Nicole pursed her lips. “If you’re scared, we don’t have to watch it…”

“No, I’m not scared. | just can’t accept traditional Japanese culture…”

Clayton was stil explaining himself, but then he looked at Nicole in surprise.

“Why aren’t you afraid at all2″

Nicole blinked. “My third brother often takes me to the filming sets, and | know how the scenes

are shot. so there’s nothing to be afraid of..”

Clayton nodded in realization. So, that was why.’

After his shock passed, he asked in 2 hoarse voice, “Kai also shoots this genre?”

Nicole shook her head. “It affect his public persona and the box office, so he won’t”

The two of them chatted, and time slowly passed by.

Nicole suddenly noticed that although Clayton was facing the screen, his line of sight was not at

all on the screen.

His body was tense for the entire two hours. It was not easy for him to sit there the whole time.

When it was over, Nicole went to buy a drink and saw Clayton leaning against the wall as he

took deep breaths to relax.

Nicole was speechless. Is it really that scary? What a fragile yet perfect man!”

She walked over and handed him a bottle of water. Clayton took it and downed half the bottle in

oone go. The fright in his heart gradually eased. He was a person with special status on Wall Street, but he was o afraid of horror films?

Nicole said, Its almost time. Shall we go back?” Clayton nodded. His pale lips curled into a smile.

When they got to the car, Nicole stopped him. “Let me drive

He did not seem to be in the right state to drive. Clayton was silent for a moment and agreed.

At the Stanton Mansion. Nicole got out of the car and asked the driver to send him back.

Clayton refused. “I’m fine now. | can go back by myself.”

At his insistence. Nicole did not force the matter.

Clayton left.

Nicole went in and saw Kai playing games in the living room. Tigger also grabbed a phone to

assist Kai, surmounting the difficulties all the way. It could not go any better.

“Isn’t this cheating?”

Tigger was an Al tiger and had a much higher 10 than ordinary computers.

Kai paused for a moment and looked at her. “Tigger is my litle brother!”

s 500 as he finished speaking, Tigger dropped the iPad and ran in circles around Nicole’s feet.

wagging s tail

“Mama, carry me..”

Nicole smiled and picked Tigger up. She glanced at the defeated Kai. Her eyes curved in a smile.

“Its not that | want to take advantage of you.”

Nicole did not mind. It was just to pass the time anyway.

Clayton led her into the hall. The entrance was dark. and Nicole could ot really see, so she

followed after him and asked, “Are the seats you bought in the front or back?”

Clayton did not answer.

When he got in front of the screen and there was enough light, he took out a thick stack of

tickets from his pocket.

Nicole was shocked for a moment

Clayton said calmly, “Feel free to pick any…” He bought out the entire hall.

Looking at Nicole’s shocked expression, Clayton’s eyes turned gentle as he explained, *I was

afraid that il cause a misunderstanding if others saw us watching a movie together, so | figured

I might as well not let anyone see us. I’l wait until you’re willing to be seen by others.”

No matter how heartless, careless, or unreasonable Nicole was, Clayton still accommodated her

worries,

He had already thought about all the words that she could not speak easily.

Nicole lowered her eyes and felt particularly guilty for speculating that Clayton had dark

thoughts earlier. ‘Clayton is such a good person. How would he deliberately use her? I’m the one

with dark thoughts!”

Nicole’s nose subconsciously stung as she raised her eyes to look at him.

“Such a considerate Mr. Sloan really never had a girlfriend before?” Clayton was stunned before he laughed and said, “You don’t believe me? My attentiveness is

because | have an additional naughty child that others usually don’t.”

Nicole smiled. “It seems like Michael is a good excuse.”

Clayton said, *I want to cry foul, but I’m a litle too happy that you care so much about my past.”

There was warmth in his smile, and his delicate face was gentle and calm.

Nicole was a little dumbstruck from being looked at by Clayton like this. She was taken aback

again.

She immediately turned around and went to the back seat. That position and angle was the best

place to watch the film. Clayton followed closely behind.

The movie started.

At the title screen two words “Mourning Curse” dripping with a layer of blood appeared on the

screen.

Nicole frowned and tumed to the side to look at Clayton. “A horror film?”

‘Why do men always like to pick horror films? Was it to show their strong willpower in this

cramped space? Nicole did not expect Clayton to be so conventional.

Clayton’s expression was clearly a little shocked. “Isn’t it a Japanese mythological film? The ticket

agent at the front desk said that this was to promote Japanese culture..”

“Elegant and subtle international cultural exchange will be so befitting to our identities. Why the

hellis this a horror film?! This isn’t what | wanted!’ Clayton thought.

Nicole realized that Clayton had been fooled and subconsciously laughed.

“Well, he isn’t wrong per se. Its indeed a Japanese horror film…” Nicole suddenly found it very funny that Clayton’’s reaction was bigger than hers.

Clayton stood up speechiessly. 11l go change it..”

Nicole grabbed his sieeve. “Forget . Its fine. Let’s just watch this..

Clayton sat down helplessly and muttered to himself. “This is too much. Ladies will get scared if

they watch a movie like this. It’s no wonder no one bought tickets for this session. That larl”

Nicole noticed that Clayton was acting extraordinarily weirdly and found it quite funny. Her eyes

squinted in a smile.

What a maiden heart…

s the music played, Nicole focused on watching the movie.

An innocent and lovely girl went to the washroom.

‘Then. the lights suddenly flickered and blew up.

At that point, the terrifying music was accompanied by the girl’s nervousness.

Nicole anxiously watched on.

Then, the screen went dark. Three seconds later, the girl’s screams suddenly rang out. She tried

to push the door and run out, but the door could not be opened…

At that moment. a dark shadow flashed behind the light. like a silhouette passing by. The feeling

of terror instantly made people feel numb.

What a fake scene!
