Chapter 2330
Chapter 2330 Boss
Clayton stood there with earnest and serious eyes. He did not look like he was joking.
For a moment, Nicole seemed to see the old Clayton standing at the door of the club, teaching her to identify girls who liked to put on the pity act.
Nicole felt like her head was spinning as if the past scene was overlapping with the current scene.
The bittersweet feeling in her heart made her forget all the unhappiness of seeing Kira.
She raised her head with a slight smile.
“Got it, Boss! Since you knew she was this kind of person, why did you bring her back to Mediania?”
Why did he get close to Kira?
Of course, Nicole would not ask that question.
After all, Kira was a scheming woman, and Clayton was an unassuming man. Although Clayton might not have that intention, he could not escape Kira’s schemes.
“I didn’t investigate it at that time because I didn’t have enough resources. I only did a background check on her after I returned to Mediania, but it was too late.”
Clayton’s voice was deep and low. The distance between him and Nicole was extremely close, and his eyes were relaxed and seductive.
He could not help but reach out to pinch her earlobe.
“Did you understand what I said?”
Nicole felt a tingle all over her body. She pursed her lips and pretended to be calm.
“I understand. So, what are you going to do now?”
Anyway, she could tell that Clayton would not allow Kira to come back to work.
Besides, Nicole did not want him to either.
Even if the restaurant would not be open for long, Nicole did not want Kira to appear in front of them.
Clayton smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her ear. The heat seemed to penetrate her skin and into her bones.
Was he teasing her on purpose?
Nicole was skeptical.
In the next second, Clayton leaned back a little to create some distance between them and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. I won’t need to do anything.”
His black eyes flickered with a chill and gloom.
The two of them embraced each other in this small room and felt restrained.
Clayton was not in a hurry to pack his things, and Nicole was afraid that someone would walk in on them.
They were tugging on each other when they finally heard the sound of footsteps outside and someone knocking on the door.
Nicole paused slightly. Her face was still a little red. She pushed him away and went inside to fix her hair.
Clayton smiled and walked toward the door casually.
He opened a small gap through the door and stood there to block the view inside.
“What’s the matter?”
The new round-faced manager that Clayton promoted to replace Kira stood outside and trembled.
“Boss, Kira is back again. She’s still at the entrance saying that she wants to come back to work…”
Clayton interrupted her:
“You can deal with it yourself. You can keep her or kick her out, but if she stays, she’ll take your place, so you’ll have to think clearly.”
After speaking, Clayton closed the door.
The manager’s face turned pale. She was frustrated and said through the door, “Boss, I’ll handle it well!”
The manager could not make up her mind at first because she knew that Kira was with Clayton before. She did not know if he would be soft-hearted.
Now that Clayton said that if Kira stayed, she would replace her, the manager could not stay calm.
Nicole stood by the wall, tilted her head, and looked at the man returning from the door with a smile.
She thought he would kick Kira out himself and waited with interest for his next move.
However, he just put pressure on his subordinates.
She could not help but laugh.
“Good job, Boss!”
Clayton laughed. He said in a deep and clear voice, “There’s no other way. If I have to think about how to resolve this kind of trivial matter, it would be too troublesome.”
He went closer to her, gently put his arms around her slender waist, and smiled.
“Kiss me?”
Nicole was confused by his sudden request.
Clayton pinched her waist. His voice was low and hoarse as he said, “If you don’t kiss me, then I’ll kiss you.”
His eyes were dark as if he was hinting at something.
Although they had been married for so long, they were like newlyweds because they had been separated for so long.
Since Clayton came back, Nicole could not find any physical defects on him besides his leg. His stamina was even better than before, and he overwhelmed Nicole.
Her face was rosy and charming, and her eyes were glimmering, which made Clayton’s mind stray uncontrollably.
Before Nicole could refuse, Clayton kissed her passionately.
His kiss was a bit domineering and out of control as he engulfed her lips and tongue. After that aggressive kiss, his kiss slowly softened.
Clayton packed his things for about three hours.
When Nicole and Clayton came out again, no one could tell there was anything amiss about them.
Nicole’s bright and rosy complexion added a bit of charm to her.
The two of them came down hand in hand.
Clayton was holding a cane in one hand and holding her hand in the other. Nicole was carrying a small suitcase that looked light.
Clayton had an outstanding body, and he carried himself with dignity and grace. He gave off a powerful yet calm vibe.
Even if his leg was limp, it did not affect his temperament.
When the two of them went downstairs, others could see the affection between them. They were so close that outsiders could not get between them.
Clayton also looked less gloomy, calm, and cold. Maybe it was because Nicole was with him.
They had never seen this side of Clayton.
After working for Clayton for so long, they somewhat understood what kind of person he was.
Clayton looked gentle and easygoing, but he was actually tough and merciless. He would not lose his temper when he was angry and dissatisfied. He would just stare at them silently as if his eyes were shooting daggers.
He would make them feel remorse and fear.
The round-faced manager greeted some customers and saw Clayton and Nicole walking toward the door.She quickly went over to them.
“Boss, are you leaving now? Kira…”
Before she finished her sentence, she could feel the cold vibe that Clayton exuded as Clayton glared at her.
His eyes were cold, distant, and gloomy. He should not be offended.
It seemed that she had said something inappropriate for the occasion.
Nicole beside Clayton asked with a smile, “What happened to Kira?”
The round-faced manager looked at the two of them. Clayton lowered his eyes slightly, and she did not know whether to continue talking.
Clayton coughed, and his voice softened.
“Continue.”
The round-faced manager said, “I called the police to take her away on the grounds that she was disturbing our business operations. When I went to the police station, I also checked out who her relatives were. It turned out that she has an older brother, who has taken her away. You can rest assured that she won’t come to the restaurant to make trouble again.”
She was a little nervous to report this.
Clayton did not respond at all. He just nodded and walked out with Nicole.
It was as if he did not care about this little episode at all.
Nicole followed him with a smile. The two of them got into the car before Nicole could feel Clayton’s relief.
Clayton loosened his collar.
Nicole asked with a smile. Her voice was still a little hoarse.
“What about the rest of your things?”
Clayton glanced at her. “I’ll get Roland to move them.”
