Subsequently, Logan learned of Eric’s arrival and received Eric at once.

Eric was thick-skinned and stayed there. He did not go to the meeting room but sat at the door of the President’s Office, which attracted a lot of attention.

He looked at the conference room not far away and saw Nicole sitting there through the glass panel. Her eyebrows were stunning, and her smile was charming.

Eric was a little stunned for a moment.

Her smile was not soft at all, but extremely powerful with a sharp edge. It made her subordinates tremble in fear.

Eric suddenly felt enchanted. His heart trembled violently.

He loved her gentleness and toughness, but also her wit and bravery.

Eric should not just remember Nicole’s gentle compromise with him back then because that was not all of her.

Those three years of marriage had worn away Nicole’s sharpness and covered up her brightness. Those years were probably her darkest times.

At that moment, Eric seemed to understand how much Nicole had regretted marrying him back then.

His heart clenched in that instant.

Logan was watching on the side and felt a little helpless.

Eric was sitting there with such a strong aura, so who in the office had the heart to work?

Twenty minutes later, the meeting was adjourned.

Everyone came out one after another. Some were praised, so their faces were extremely relaxed and somewhat pleasant, while some had grim faces.

“President Nicole always speaks more bluntly than President Grant. No wonder even President Grant had to compromise…”

“It’s good that you know. Stanton Corporation is basically hers now!”

Everyone left one after another. Nicole was inside and stretched her back before she stood up leisurely to go outside.

Logan had not had time to report to her about Eric.

When Nicole walked to the door, she was caught off guard when she saw Eric. ’Why is he here?’

Eric sat upright. His black eyes were cold and sullen. “Good morning, Ms. Stanton…”

Nicole frowned and looked at Logan.

Before Logan could say anything, Eric had already stood up with his things.

“I came for business.”

Eric threw down a sentence and led the way into her office.

Nicole paused for a moment and handed the materials in her hand to Logan. “Two cups of coffee please.”

“Yes, President.”

Eric sat on the sofa with handsome features and a powerful aura, as if he was the owner of this office.

“Sit…” Eric lowered his voice.

Nicole was still in a bit of a trance. ’Am I in the wrong place?’

She was not so obedient and walked to her desk to turn on the computer.

The light of the screen reflected on her cheeks. Nicole’s eyebrows were arched as she slowly spoke.

“Mr. Ferguson, what official business do you have that you had to come in person?”

Eric raised his eyes. “I would’ve just texted you, but you blocked me!”

He almost said it through clenched teeth.

Eric felt stifled and angry.

Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Is that so?”

Her tone was light. She clearly did it intentionally, but she pretended not to know.

’Eric’s so annoying, so why can’t I be more annoying?’ Nicole thought.

She picked up the phone and looked at it. Her posture was slack.

“I thought someone was harassing me, so I just blocked the number without looking at the name.”

She was mocking him for sending her such a shameless message.

Eric’s eyes were cold and heavy as he walked over and leaned close to her. His long arms were resting on the back of her chair.

His voice was deep and slow. “Nicole, you did it on purpose!”

Eric thought, ’I can tell, so don’t make any excuses!’ There was a moment of silence.

Nicole’s lowered eyelashes trembled slightly. She could smell his cold scent that made him seem calm and elegant. It put her in a momentary trance.

She secretly pinched her palm, raised her eyes, and smiled faintly.

”Fine, I did it on purpose.”

Since Eric wanted to be so blunt, Nicole did not need to care about his feelings either.

Eric choked. Nicole pushed hard against the table so that her chair rolled back to separate herself from him.

Nicole wanted to say, “If you send those irritating sweet talk, I won’t tolerate it!”

In the next second, Eric did not say anything and concealed the chill he had earlier. He suddenly turned around and walked away. His back looked extremely desolate.

Eric looked at Toto with a grimace. ’Does he think that I’m an idiot?’

He gave up on the stew and walked out of the kitchen with a chill around him.

Toto also did not know why he found such a non- progressive novel, but when he first read it, he thought it was pretty good.

However, when he listened to the audiobook, he suddenly thought that the domineering president was so retarded.

Toto hurried Iy followed Eric and explained, “Mr. Ferguson, don’t get angry! After all, the person who wrote this novel isn’t a president like you, so he doesn’t know your brilliance and wisdom to take charge!”

Eric’s eyebrows were indifferent. His eyes suddenly looked fierce as he yelled, “Get out!”

“Okay, I’ll get lost… I’ll go find something normal…”

Toto still wanted to try his best to salvage the situation.

If Toto was not still useful, Eric would have chopped off Toto’s head by now.

Eric returned to his room and calmed down.

He took out his phone and tapped on Nicole’s chat box.

Eric sent out a message, but it still had a red exclamation mark next to it.

Coldness and loneliness suddenly swept over him. A strong sense of loss came over him. He could not lose her again.

’Forget it, I’ll just bear with it!’

Eric took out his phone and clicked on the material and novels that Toto sent him with difficulty.

Stanton Mansion.

Nicole and Julie talked about their day.

Now, Kai was basically inseparable from Julie. During the day, Kai followed Julie to work under the guise of ” protecting her”. In fact, it was to warn Roman.

The good thing was that Kai had a very good sense of proportion. He never used this excuse to overstep the agreed boundaries with her.

The initiative had always been with Julie. The two ladies were lying on the bed.

Julie sighed. “Fortunately, you’re still here. Otherwise, how can I still face Kai? He helped me so much, and I don’t know how to repay him…”

Nicole secretly rolled her eyes. ’That’s exactly what Kai wants!’

“Don’t take it to heart. Even if Kai wasn’t interested in you, I wouldn’t just sit idly by. Not to mention, he has his own intentions for you, so I became an excuse…”

Julie was speechless and thought, ’Does she have to be so blunt?’

Suddenly, Julie remembered something.

Keith basically warned everyone who forwarded the video that circulated in the elite circle during the day.

Julie laughed. “What exactly did Keith do?”

Nicole thought of Nathaniel and could not help but laugh.

She then told Julie about what happened at the party.

She clicked her tongue as she spoke of Nathaniel’s transformation.

“Nathaniel said that he did that on purpose just to provoke Keith. If they fight head-on, Nathaniel can’t win, but he can certainly make Keith sick to the stomach!”

Julie was very curious and regretted that she could not see that scene with her own eyes.

How could men be pettier than women?

Julie laughed. “After all, Nathaniel is a few years younger than Keith, so he’s considered a young hunk. When he acts pretentious, it’s just being coquettish. If an old guy like Keith said those words…”

The two ladies involuntarily shivered. ’Gross!’

The next day at Stanton Corporation.

Nicole had a meeting early in the morning, so she went over early.

When Eric arrived, he did not greet anyone and went in straight.

The receptionist recognized Eric and was shocked beyond words.

“Mr. Ferguson… Have you made an appointment with Ms.

Stanton?”

Eric knitted his brows and paused in his footsteps. There was some impatience in his expression.

“I came to bring breakfast for Ms. Stanton. Is she here?” “Yes, but…”

Before the receptionist could finish, Eric walked straight in.

They did not dare to stop him. With Eric’s status, even without an appointment, they could not stop him.

The receptionist quickly informed the secretary’s office.

The company’s early morning gossip that day was starring Nicole.

Eric Ferguson personally brought breakfast for Nicole. What kind of divine treatment was that?

The previous online conspiracy theories about Ferguson Corporation attacking Stanton Corporation were withdrawn altogether.

Eric was very resistant and intuitively knew that Nicole would not buy such acts.

However, Toto confidently patted his chest and assured Eric.

Eric looked down at his phone and sent another message, but he still saw the red exclamation next to his message.

He had no other choice but to try other ways.

Eric took the iPad with a glum face and took a glimpse. His eyes immediately burned.

He threw it back.

“No, I don’t even want to see it!”

Eric stood up. He was the President of Ferguson Corporation and could give Nicole all the riches in the world and die for her.

Why should he learn about these phrases? It was just tormenting his eyes.

[I’ve never thought about someone so much. You’re the most special one out of all the girls I’ve ever met.]

[I have a million words I want to say to you, but when I see you, I only want to say, “I miss you”. Your boyfriend won’t mind if he hears this, will he?]

[I know you’re angry, but he won’t mind that I’m talking to you so late, right? We have nothing between us anyway.]

Toto was a bit anxious and advised him.

“Mr. Ferguson, do you know that Clayton Sloan has bought

a property at The Grand Manor, which is nearest to Ms. Stanton’s apartment? He’s already prepared to fight a protracted war!”

Eric’s gaze was deep and dark as he said with a faintly smug tone.

“I own both the adjacent floors upstairs and downstairs of her apartment. I’m closer to her!”

Toto said, “But Ms. Stanton doesn’t live in her apartment. She lives in the Stanton Mansion!”

Eric paused for a few seconds. “Can you buy the Stanton Mansion?”

Nope!

The Stanton family would never agree!

Toto looked at him and thought, ’What’s the point of worrying about his image now? Who cares if it’s a black cat or a white cat? As long as it can catch a mouse, it’s a good cat!’

“Mr. Ferguson, we’ve already lost to Clayton. Comparing you and Clayton, Ms. Stanton is clearly more sympathetic to him! If we don’t put in more effort, they… They might even have babies soon!”

Toto wanted to hit Eric with a brick to wake him up. ’Wake up! Your wife is going to run away with someone else!’

Eric’s face instantly turned cold and sullen. He swept a stern glance at Toto, who was speaking rashly without thinking about the consequences.

Toto really said all of Eric’s taboos.

Toto lowered his head in trepidation and shrank his neck, shivering with fear from Eric’s aura.

There was silence for a while.

Eric’s tone was bitterly cold. His attitude was grim. “He’s daydreaming!”

Toto hurriedly agreed. “That’s right, he’s daydreaming!”

Eric picked up the iPad and looked at it for a few moments, then forced himself to endure the physical and psychological discomfort to read on with a stiff face.

’Why do women like this act? Isn’t actual jewelry more attractive than meaningless sweet talk?’

Toto was very satisfied with Eric’s change in attitude. This way, there was still hope for Eric and Nicole!

“Mr. Ferguson, we can go two ways, hard and soft. The soft method is learning to be coquettish like Young Master Nathaniel. The hard method is learning the frisky attitude of a domineering president like those novels.”

Eric was silent for a moment and immediately made a choice.

“Let’s go for the hard one.”

Outside, the city lights flickered. The night was deep and silent.

Back at Imperial Gardens.

After Eric spent two hours in the study to deal with the overseas company’s major matters, Eric turned his attention to the kitchen.

Toto found a typical novel of a dominant boss chasing his wife to Eric. Toto knew that Eric did not have time to read it, so he converted it to audio playback.

Thus, Eric was making a stew in the kitchen while listening to the novel.

Eric looked tall and upright. His handsome face had no trace of temperature.

Eric’s brows were tightly knitted. He just felt like throwing the iPad in the pot.

Toto advised him. “Mr. Ferguson, bear with it… Girls like these!”

Eric was desperately trying to hold back his anger as a constant stream of garbage was poured into his ears. He looked like he could not stand it anymore.

The audiobook rang out. ”The 192-cm domineering president heard that the woman dared to disobey him. He was so angry that he covered his newly replaced heart, took out a two-million-dollar check from his pocket, and smashed it in the woman’s face.”

”Sh”t!” Eric cursed loudly.

Keith cried for a while before he realized that the call had long been disconnected.

He was speechless.

Eric hung up the phone and looked at Toto, who was concentrating on feeding the fish on the other side.

“Go and inquire about what happened at that celebration that Nicole attended today.”

Toto immediately put down what he was holding without a moment’s delay.

”Yes, Mr. Ferguson!”

Eric took his phone and found Nicole’s profile, then clicked into it. It was blank.

’Why didn’t she post anything yet?’ Eric thought. He simply privately messaged her.

[Because I miss you so much, even the food I eat is in the shape of my love for you.]

What sweet words.

Eric had to prove to Nicole that he was no longer the cold and heartless Eric Ferguson of the past.

Ten seconds… Thirty seconds… There was no reply.

’Could her phone be broken?’ He thought. One minute…

Five minutes…

There was still no reply.

’She’s probably asleep.’ Eric thought. He then typed out another message in the dialog box.

|Goodnight.]

Suddenly, a red exclamation mark appeared next to the message.

It was a system alert. |You are no longer a friend of this contact…]

Eric was speechless.

He felt suffocated for a while.

Mitchell knocked on the door and asked excitedly. ”President, can everyone get off work?”

Eric looked up with cold eyes. He did not speak.

Mitchell smiled and nodded. ”Understood, the answer is no He exited the office and closed the door behind him.

Mitchell was puzzled. Before this, Eric even proposed to buy everyone dinner, snacks, milk tea, and coffee. Eric’s face suddenly changed again.

He let out a long sigh.

It was really hard being Eric’s assistant.

In a moment, Toto figured out the whole story. Toto explained what happened to Eric vividly By the end of it, Toto added, “Young Master Nathaniel is really extraordinary and has a way to deal with women.”

If Nathaniel had used those tricks on Nicole, Eric would have probably killed him.

Keith was good-natured and had scruples, so he did not dare to make a move.

Eric’s brow was knitted tightly. His face was livid. Eric finally had some sympathy for Keith in his heart. Nathaniel was really not a good thing!

“Mr. Ferguson, should we help Mr. Ludwig?”

When Toto finished speaking, he instantly regretted it a little.

Keith was Eric’s friend, but Nathaniel was his nephew! Eric’s face was expressionless. His gaze was dark.

“No. Keith’s ex-wife is really annoying. He’s better without her.”

In the end, Eric was still partial to his best friend, Keith.

Toto pursed his lips and nodded, but he suddenly thought of something.

“Mr. Ferguson, in fact, you can also learn Young Master Nathaniel’s method…”

Toto originally felt that Clayton was the pretentious one, but if Eric was pretentious first, Clayton would not have been able to perform.

It was certainly to Eric’s advantage to seize the first opportunity.

Eric’s eyebrows were knitted together for a moment. ” You’re asking me to learn to speak like that dumb*ss?”

His voice turned cold all of a sudden.

Toto paused for a moment, then painstakingly embellished Nathaniel’s methods.

”This is called being coquettish. Think about it, if Ms. Stanton was coquettish and acted cute to you, won’t you feel fascinated?

So, if you act like that to her, Ms. Stanton will certainly buy it…”

After that, Eric’s face suddenly looked a little hard to describe, but he did not immediately refute Toto’s words.

Toto slapped his thigh and said, “Wait a minute, I’ll find you some material!”

Toto’s online searches were:

|CIassic flirting moves.]

[How do men act cute and innocent?]

|How can a man be pretentious?]

The superior and inferior relationship was immediately apparent in this short exchange.

Nicole’s elegant and calm posture was so enchanting that people could not move their eyes.

She was obviously just sitting there with a smile and did not say any words of warning, but she carried her own aura of superiority.

Even people of such status as Keith Ludwig had to respectfully apologize when he said the wrong thing. Other people thought that Nicole was even more unattainable.

When Keith found out that the video was leaked. He was so furious that he blocked everyone who forwarded this video.

Keith’s reputation went down the drain. The sun was setting, and the night fell.

The sky gradually dimmed with a layer of dark blue. The city lights lit up and dotted the place like a river of stars.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric kept staring at the posts for one purpose only, which was to see if Nicole had any new developments.

Colton White posted a video of Keith and Nicole. He even added a caption, “Keith’s most cowardly moment!”

Just as Eric clicked on it to watch, the video was deleted by Colton.

Eric asked Colton directly for the video. Colton sent it over but also shivered and said a few words to him.

“Keith has been looking for this video like crazy. Don’t tell him that I gave it to you, okay?”

Eric clicked into it.

The video was less than ten seconds, and he watched it twice.

One was apologizing, while the other accepted the apology.

Keith’s humility was not out of place because, in front of Nicole, everyone seemed humble.

However, Eric watched the video and did not know what had happened.

He asked, “How did Keith offend her?”

Colton said, “I don’t know either. I just forwarded it from another friend, but they deleted it.”

Eric immediately called Keith.

“You offended Nicole?”

His straightforwardness made Keith feel like dying.

Keith really hated the person who recorded the video. If Keith found out who did it, he would dig up that person’s ancestral grave.

He coughed. “Even you know…”

“What’s going on?”

Keith had to tell Eric even if he did not want to.

If Eric wanted to know something, there were always people who were willing to take the initiative to say it.

It would just be humiliating if others said it.

Keith explained, “It’s their celebration today. I saw Livia and Nathaniel together and got a little impulsive. I accidentally blurted out that Nathaniel used to like Nicole…” Eric was silent for a long time.

Keith was apprehensive. Nicole already forgave him. Was Eric trying to settle accounts?

“Ferg, brother… Don’t torture me. I’ve been mocked by our circle for the whole day because of this video!”

Keith would only call him “brother” when he wanted to ask for help.

Eric knew his habits and let out a cold snort.

“Serves you right!”

When Nathaniel set his eyes on Eric’s woman, Eric was so furious that he almost killed Nathaniel.

Keith bringing up this matter was simply like exposing Eric’s scars.

“If I were her, I would’ve killed you on the spot!” Eric said through clenched teeth.

Keith finally felt the coldness from Eric.

Comparing Eric to Nicole, Nicole was really gentle, kind, considerate, and generous!

Suddenly, Keith did not hate Nicole anymore. Keith warily held the phone.

“Ferg, I apologized sincerely enough. Nicole even forgave me, so we’ve turned the page. My wife was abducted by your nephew, and my reputation is gone. I’m already miserable enough… Sob… Sob…”

Keith suddenly choked out sobs into his phone.

He really wanted to tell Eric about how Nathaniel was such a manipulative b*tch and seduced his woman.

However, Keith could not bring himself to say it. Keith felt really aggrieved.

As soon as Eric heard that Keith was going to cry, Eric hung up the phone immediately in disdain.

Eric was afraid that it would pollute his ears.

Clayton smiled apologetically and went over to close the door to block Nicole’s view.

“I didn’t want to give this on Michael’s behalf for fear that it’ll scare you, but Michael insisted on giving you a surprise Nicole’s face was pale. “It‘s not a surprise…”

She had to thank her youthfulness and good health for not having a heart attack.

Clayton felt very sorry and went over to hug her gently. He then let go and pulled her wrist to the living room.

“Argus, a glass of warm water, please.” Nicole seemed to be really shocked.

Had he known, he would not have brought her over to see it.

A cylindrical white robot butler about one and a half meters came over and handed the water to Nicole.

“Dear, have some water…”

’Uh… This address…’ Nicole raised her head. The white robot pretended to think about it and confirmed once again in a cute voice.

“Yes, you’re Nicole Dearest. Have some water…”

’It knows me?!’ Nicole thought.

On the side, Clayton took the water and glanced at the robot. “Go play elsewhere.”

The robot obediently turned around and left.

Nicole frowned. She felt that there was something wrong with this address.

“This robot…” ’Nicole Dearest?!’

Clayton coughed a little and felt embarrassed. His face was slightly red.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have invited you here before I’m done with the system setup. The robot’s system needs to register friends with special records to make the quickest response. When it identifies information, it may have…

Sorry, I guess I’ve said too much…”

Clayton forgot that he could not help but introduce Nicole to the system when he set it up. He used the words, ” dearest” and “the woman I like”.

The robot’s reaction would not lie, and it gave honest feedback to the person concerned, Nicole.

However, Nicole’s reaction was also expected. There was no joy or shyness.

They were not at that stage yet.

Clayton smiled and comforted himself in his heart. ’It’s okay… I can wait…’

Nicole drank up the water in the cup, stood up, and smiled a t him.

“It’s about time, so I should go back. That gift… I really can’t accept it. If I return it, will Lil Michael be very sad?”

Nicole did her best to forget about the little episode brought by the robot and changed the topic to the crocodile.

Clayton shook his head decisively.

“Don’t worry, I’ve told him in advance that not everyone has the same hobby as him. If you don’t like it, I’ll entrust a professional animal management agency to keep it for him temporarily.”

After all, Clayton did not want to keep a carnivorous crocodile in his home.

Nicole nodded repeatedly. ’That’s good. I really can’t accept it! I’d rather receive white chrysanthemums!’

Clayton sent her out and apologized to her again. Nicole could see that Clayton truly regretted showing her that gift.

As soon as Nicole got into the car to go home, she felt much better.

She was not a petty person and immediately said that she would forgive him and pretend this never happened.

After all, Nicole also wanted to forget that scene just now.

The celebration at the hotel was over.

It was very lively. Everyone posted a group photo of the celebration, which immediately led to netizens reminiscing about the variety show.

What has widely circulated in the elite circle was not such an ordinary group photo.

Instead, it was a short video.

Keith’s attitude changed from anger to forbearance as he humbly apologized to Nicole, who calmly accepted his apology.

This was the most viral piece of footage. Keith bowed slightly in front of everyone.

“It’s a slip of the tongue. I’m sorry, Nicole. I was too impulsive. Please forgive me!”

“I forgive you, Mr. Ludwig, but only this time. Next time, you’d better be careful with your words.”

There were only two sentences of dialogue, but everyone secretly speculated about Keith’s change in attitude and Nicole’s calm threat.

Clayton’s words implied that he only bought this place to be closer to Nicole.

Nicole was surprised for a moment, then naturally recovered her expression.

“That apartment has been sold out. A few years back, it’s still relatively sought-after.

My third brother bought it for me with his first film payment. But the good thing is that the surrounding area is located in a prosperous area. The Grand Manor is the only property in Atlanta that still maintained its high prices during the real estate downturn.”

After all, properties here were only sold to the rich, so why would the rich be so calculative for that little price difference?

Such a reputable investor like Clayton also bought it without even blinking an eye.

At that thought, Nicole had full confidence in that project in Sand City. She wanted to drive up the real estate industry there.

Clayton laughed and could not help but hold his forehead. ’ Did she misread the point?’

However, he gave her an appreciative look.

“Ms. Stanton, you really live up to your name. You know the market like the back of your hand!”

Nicole laughed and lifted her chin. “I’ve always been very interested in this money-making industry!”

Clayton was speechless.

He stepped forward and opened the door with his fingerprints, then made way for her. “Please come in…”

As soon as Nicole entered, she saw that the home furnishings inside were fully automated systems controlled by artificial intelligent systems.

Clayton was very interested in this area. Otherwise, he would not have invested in the field of artificial intelligence.

As far as Nicole knew, the most advanced and comprehensive smart home system should be from Denmark.

Clayton must have gone to a lot of trouble to install such a system in Mediania.

Once inside, the system automatically identified the owner. Two pairs of slippers, one male and one female version, appeared in the shoe cabinet automatically.

“Welcome home, Master!”

Nicole wore a thick coat and a snug dress inside, so if she squatted, her coat would touch the floor.

She paused for a few seconds and felt a little lazy to change her shoes, so she did not want to go in.

However, in the next second, Clayton suddenly squatted on the floor with one knee in front of her to help her change into the slippers.

Nicole was flattered and thanked him repeatedly. She really felt embarrassed if she were to leave when she saw Clayton’s enthusiasm.

Since she was a child, Nicole had already been accustomed to this kind of action.

When she was young, Floyd changed her shoes, and when she grew up, her brothers changed them for her.

If this was a different person, such as Grant or Kai, Nicole would not have such a big reaction because that was how she was treated since her childhood days.

However, she was a little uncomfortable with Clayton doing this for her.

Clayton was quick to adapt. He stood up and smiled as if nothing had happened.

“Come on, Michael’s gift for you is in the room.” Nicole took a deep breath.

She believed in Clayton’s character, and with her driver right outside, Clayton would not do anything out of the ordinary.

The whole house was built with a modern European style that was simple and plain, but it gave off a very comfortable and relaxing vibe.

At first glance, it was the handiwork of an internationally famous designer.

The interior decoration was very mature and soothing, very much in line with Clayton’s character.

Clayton opened the door to the nearest room and indicated for Nicole to see for herself.

Nicole smiled, somewhat expectant.

Usually, handmade gifts were either paintings or clay figures, but as soon as Nicole walked over, she was so startled that her face turned pale.

She was so frightened that she took a step backward. A large hand supported her waist from behind. It was warm and wide.

When she stood firm, the hand disappeared, as if he was just afraid that she would fall.

Nicole looked inside in shock and felt somewhat speechless.

The semi-open-air room had a swimming pool, but in the pool was a crocodile!

A very large crocodile!

Nicole took a long time to calm herself down. She looked at Clayton and pointed to what was inside.

She was in disbelief. “It’s a mistake, right?”

This gift was just too scary…

Clayton laughed and said in a light-hearted way.

“I won’t be going back to Liberty in the near future. My friends told me that living in a hotel long-term will be difficult to get a girlfriend, so I bought a house.”

Nicole’s face suddenly felt a little hot. She wondered if Clayton was determined to chase her, so he bought a house and planned to stay in Mediania long term.

The two of them did not speak on the way to The Grand Manor.

The driver played an old song to ease the atmosphere. The car was just too silent.

“We’re here, Mr. Sloan. Non-resident cars can’t get in.” The driver reminded him.

Clayton smiled. He looked warm and modest as he turned to look at Nicole.

“You don’t want to talk to me?”

Nicole was stunned, then shook her head. “No…”

Clayton asked, “Do you want to come in and take a look?”

He was afraid that she would refuse and hastily added, “Lil Michael asked me to bring you something from abroad. I haven’t found the opportunity to give it to you. You can come and take it away later.”

Nicole paused for a few seconds. “What is it?” If it was jewelry, forget it…

Clayton’s smile widened as he cleared his throat and said, ” He made it on his own. It’s not worth much, but it can’t be bought anywhere else.”

All children liked to do this.

Clayton originally did not want to give it to Nicole because he did not know how to, but there was no other excuse he could use to get her to go over.

Nicole gladly nodded. “Sure…”

She thought, ’It must be a very thoughtful little gift! I must treasure it!’

Clayton greeted the guard at the entrance, so the driver drove the car in smoothly.

Nicole remembered something and asked, “Did Lil Michael get into a fight with someone at school?”

Clayton raised his eyebrows.

“He participated in a Youth Intelligence Competition and spoke out of turn, so he got into a fight with a boy five years older than him and ended up getting beaten up.”

Nicole was instantly distressed. “They must be jealous of his talent!”

The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched slightly and smiled wryly.

“Your answer was exactly the same as Michael’s. That’s also why he got beaten up.”

Nicole smiled sheepishly. “Was he hurt?”

Clayton looked cold and restrained. “He’s fine. I’ve disciplined him.”

“He’s telling the truth. You don’t need to be so serious. The teacher is so childish to call the parents…” Nicole muttered in a small voice.

Clayton looked at her helplessly. He did not expect Nicole to be so protective in private.

She really liked Lil Michael!

”The reason they called for the parents was to get the person who hit him to apologize to him in front of the parents. As a result, Michael got his bodyguard to act as his father and was caught by the teacher. He then paid an old man that was selling things in front of his school to act the part and was seen through by the teacher again.

Finally, he hired a man whom he met eating at a fast-food restaurant. When Michael brought the man to school, the man turned out to be the teacher’s father. Just like that, the teacher got mad and finally found my secretary’s number from the school’s registry. That’s how I learned of this…”

Nicole’s mouth gaped open in shock. ’Lil Michael usually looks like a resourceful and witty kid. At a critical time, why didn’t his brain work?

He should’ve hired someone further away from school! This child is still a little too inexperienced!’

As Nicole was thinking about it, the car stopped.

Clayton went over to open the door for her like a gentleman. Nicole got out and took a look at the surroundings.

The air was fresh, and the environment was neat. The semi- open space was lively and quiet. At a glance, this was a good neighborhood.

Clayton walked forward while he chatted with her.

“I know that you often live in a duplex apartment that you bought yourself. I asked the developer and found that both the upper and lower floors were already bought. No matter how much I’m willing to pay, the owner won’t sell. So, I had to settle for the next best thing, which is this property. It’s not too far from your place.”

Livia was very clear about her feelings. She liked Nathaniel, who was a year younger than her, yet he was very thoughtful and reliable.

Thus, Livia listened to her heart and did not play hard to get She did not regret being together with Nathaniel.

This impulse and enthusiasm would definitely last a lifetime.

It was the best thing Livia had done in her life.

As soon as Livia and Nathaniel looked at each other, Nicole knew that Keith was out of luck.

No matter how hard Keith tried, he could not beat Nathaniel and Livia’s momentary glance at each other, with sparks flying and such profound love.

Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled, then reached out and applauded.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful! I hope that you both will always be this happy!”

They could only feel the blazing love because they rushed into a relationship.

Once the passion faded and faced with other gossip or trivial difficulties, perhaps their love might even be deeper and lasted longer.

Nicole believed that they would.

The couple held hands, which was particularly piercing to the eyes of a lonely woman.

Nicole did not want to stay there any longer, so she smiled, found an excuse, and left with Clayton.

When she just got out the door and before she went into the car, she heard someone calling out from behind her.

Nicole turned her head and saw Livia.

Livia trotted over as she carried her skirt and looked at Nicole with a smile.

“I have something I’d like to talk to you about in private.”

Nicole raised her eyebrows. ’Did Livia take that *sshole Keith’s words seriously just now? Do I have to explain that Nathaniel and I didn’t have a past? But the more I explain, the more obvious it’ll be, won’t it?’

Just as Nicole was in a tangle, Clayton walked over and said, “Why don’t you ladies talk in the car? There are a lot of people here.”

Nicole nodded. This was indeed the best.

The driver had the good sense to wait outside about ten meters away.

Only the two ladies were left in the car.

Nicole hesitantly spoke, “Actually, I really have nothing going on with Nathaniel…”

Livia chuckled. “I know, he told me a long time ago.”

Nicole froze, then curved the corners of her lips. ’They couId’ve told me earlier…’

“He said that he used to like you,” Livia said very naturally.

Nicole was shocked and could not bring herself to smile. ’Is Nathaniel sick in the head?’

Livia noticed Nicole’s discomfort and saw that Nicole looked like she was about to get angry, so Livia patted Nicole’s hand and comforted her.

“I know it’s his unrequited love. You’re gentle, beautiful, and good-tempered with a good background and high ability, so who won’t like you? If I were a man, I’d also like you!”

Nicole suddenly did not know what to say. “Then what do you want to say to me?”

Livia answered, “I plan to expand the staff. So far, I’m the only one in our law firm, and it’s already getting too busy.

If there are professionals to help out, I think that we can achieve more with half the effort!”

Nicole smiled and sighed in relief. ’Turns out she wants to talk about business!’

“No problem, you can just make the call on these things!”

Livia shook her head. “You’re an investor. Besides, you have experience, so your opinion is important. I can only be assured to execute it if you agree.”

Nicole laughed. “Okay, I strongly agree.”

To Nicole, this was only some insignificant amount of money.

However, to Livia, it was a career worth fighting for her whole life!

Livia reported some more of her ideas seriously, and Nicole expressed her opinion earnestly.

Finally, the two of them hit it off, and Livia returned to the hotel happily.

The driver got into the car and asked, “Miss, shall we go home?”

Nicole was just about to open her mouth when the car door next to her opened again. Clayton came up and looked at her with a smile.

“Do you mind if I hitch a ride?”

Nicole smiled. “Of course, I don’t mind.”

She then instructed the driver, “Take Mr. Sloan back to the Hilton first.”

Clayton said, “Take me to The Grand Manor.”

Nicole was surprised. The Grand Manor was a luxury neighborhood with individual villas. Every inch of land was like gold.

It was on par with Imperial Gardens where Eric lives.

A big man like Keith sounded like a spouse that was scolding a mistress. This feeling was just awkward!

Nicole took a deep breath. She felt embarrassed and denied it. “I didn’t laugh…”

However, her smile was so wide that it was almost overflowing from her face.

Clayton walked to the side and sat down. “Do you guys mind me sitting here?”

He did not want to be too far away from Nicole, but he was also worried that it would be offensive if he overheard someone’s privacy.

Such considerate people were comfortable to get along with.

Livia was a little embarrassed and waved her hands.

“Of course, we won’t mind. Thanks for earlier, Mr. Sloan…”

Thanks to the shocking slander earlier, people got to know Clayton Sloan.

Nathaniel looked at Clayton, then at Nicole.

He sighed and turned to look at Livia. “There’s no need to thank him. He did it for Nikki’s sake.”

Clayton did not intervene for their sake.

Thus, the thick-skinned Nathaniel would not appreciate it.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Nathaniel, then smiled and looked at Livia.

“Unexpectedly, this season’s show is really lively, huh?”

There was hardIy any communication between Livia and Nathaniel in the show, so no one would have thought that the two of them would be together in real life.

Livia smiled and looked like she did not know how to explain it.

On the contrary, Nathaniel was very frank.

“It is indeed lively! It’s just a pity that you have no luck seeing it. I heard that you left because Xander angered you?”

Out of all topics, Nathaniel just had to mention such an unpleasant memory.

Nicole pursed her lips and glanced at him coldly.

If it was not for the fact that they had survived together on the same island, Nicole would not have put up with Nathaniel.

He only knew to mention the bad things.

“Hmph! Do you think I’m so idle? There are so many big things in the company waiting for my decision!”

Nathaniel curled the corners of his lips. ’Hehe…’

Livia said, “In fact, we only intend to tell some friends after a while since we haven’t been dating very long. If there are any changes…”

Livia was careful and sensible, and Nicole completely understood.

Nathaniel interrupted Livia. “I wanted to tell the world the first day that we’re together! Don’t worry so much, we can definitely last forever!”

There was a different kind of solemnity in his eyes.

At that moment, Nicole believed that he must be sincere.

Nicole looked at the couple and felt touched. She felt both envious and a little sour.

Next to her, Clayton handed Nicole a glass of lemon juice.

Nicole was speechless and thought that he did it on purpose.

Clayton smiled and seemed to read her thoughts. “It has honey in it.”

’So, It’s not sour.’

Nicole took it but did not drink it. She then turned to look at the couple.

“But when did you guys start?”

Nathaniel looked at Livia. “Can I say?”

Livia glanced at him in rebuke. Finally, she curled her lips and nodded.

Nathaniel said, “I started chasing her the first day I got on set…”

Nicole’s jaw was about to drop.

She really got a lot of surprises when she came here.

“Of course, Livia ignored me and even reported me to the police for harassment…”

Clayton smiled and looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Nicole and Clayton glance at each other. It seemed like it was not easy for Nathaniel and Livia to be together.

Livia seemed dissatisfied with what he said and simply explained, “He’s amazing.

He’ll personally prepare breakfast and dinner for me every day. When Keith comes to find trouble with me, Nathaniel will be the first to rush out. He’ll always consider my feelings. I knew before the show was finished that I couldn’t calm down and think because I could only think about him, so we got together!”

It sounded a little crazy, like an impulsive decision. Livia should have calmed down to think about it after filming, but she did not.

He was not someone who would cheat on her feelings.
