Clayton smiled and stared straight ahead.Nicole said, “You’re lucky to get him!”Clayton chuckled and said, “Susan took care of Michael since he’s a baby. She used to work for the Sloan family and has a good relationship with Michael’s biological father. When I left the Sloan family, Susan quit her job and followed me to take care of Michael.”Nicole nodded. “No wonder you guys trust her…”Clayton’s gaze darkened slightly.“Because many times before, Susan found out that someone was secretly trying to harm Michael. I was distracted at the time, and if it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what would’ve happened…”The atmosphere was heavy all of a sudden.Nicole sort of regretted mentioning this topic.Fortunately, they soon arrived at the apartment.Clayton carried two bags effortlessly and got on the elevator.Nicole pressed the button to their floor. Clayton raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound.Soon, they arrived at Clayton’s door.Clayton opened the door, and Nicole
At that moment, Nicole was a little stunned.Nicole said a few words to the person on the phone and hung up, then hurriedly walked over and looked at Clayton.“Did I wake you up?”Clayton smiled. “No. Your food smells so good that it woke me up from my sleep…”He swept a glance at the dining table and was a little shocked. It was surprisingly sumptuous.Clayton thought that Nicole would just make a simple meal and did not expect her to put in so much effort.At once, a warm current rushed through his chest and swept away all of his exhaustion.Nicole pulled him to the table, sat him down, and gave him a bowl of soup. “Try it!”Clayton smiled and took a sip. He unconsciously looked serious and gave her a thumbs up.“It’s delicious!”Nicole smiled smugly. “That’s for sure.”“Who were you calling just now? You were laughing so happily.”Clayton asked casually.Nicole replied, “Julie. Remember that I told you some time ago that there were a few actresses in the crew who were s
Clayton froze. His eyes turned slightly colder.Nicole looked at Clayton’s face and knew that he was not going to tell her about it.At that moment, she wanted to draw back her hand, but Clayton held it tightly.He wrinkled his eyebrows and looked stoic.“Have you heard something?”“What do you think?”At this time, Nicole did not ask him directly why he did not tell her about his financial crisis.A “what do you think?” seemed to leave him some room for maneuver, but it also seemed direct enough.Clayton looked at her for a few seconds. He looked frank as he lowered his head and laughed.“I know.”“What do you know?”Nicole asked him back.“Did you hear that I’m going bankrupt?”Nicole did not make a sound.Her silence showed everything.Clayton squeezed her hand. His tone was a bit helpless. “I put out this fake news, so I didn’t tell you.”Nicole froze and looked at him with a blank face.“It’s fake?”Clayton nodded his head.“Isaac colluded with my rival to set a
Clayton sighed with relief, but he felt that things might not be that simple.Otherwise, why would Nicole be so out of character last night?He stroked Nicole’s hair. His gentle tone was somewhat sullen.“Nicole, I can tell you everything frankly, so you shouldn’t hide anything from me, okay?”Nicole looked at him and was silent for a few seconds. She nodded her head.“It’s really nothing. Eric just drank one too many and was talking nonsense. I found out about your bankruptcy from him. At that time, I was anxious and angry, so I lost my temper with you. I’m sorry…”By the end of the sentence, her voice got smaller.Clayton also fell silent for a few seconds. His gaze was increasingly guilty and gentle as he looked at her.“I’m the one who’s sorry. I should’ve told you in advance…”Nicole took a deep breath.“But I wasn’t that worried. I was just angry that you hid it from me.”Clayton smiled and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear.“Really? If I go bankrupt, I won’
Although Nicole also felt like it was a little too excessive, the film’s producer was Falcon Entertainment, so the box office was directly related to her income.Thus, she could ignore this imperceptible little flaw.Money was more important after all.Clayton looked at her and nodded. “Well, the subject matter is decent…”He forcefully tried to save the situation.Nicole agreed and nodded awkwardly.After watching the movie, it was already 4:00 pm.The two of them were distracted as they accompanied each other to watch the movie.In fact, they did not focus on the movie.Nicole looked at her watch. “You’re really not leaving? Are you staying here for a few days?”Clayton laughed. “Are you looking forward to me leaving? Or do you not want me to go?”Nicole was speechless and thought to herself, ‘Does he have to tease me all the time?’Clayton sighed.“Well, even if you don’t want me to leave, I can’t help it. I have a flight in the evening to Liberty. There are still seven
Unexpectedly, Clayton left by himself.Nicole immediately took her phone and saw a note pressed underneath.“I can leave at ease when you have a good night’s sleep. Goodnight, Baby!”Nicole froze for a long time. Her heart was sweet and sour with all sorts of emotions.She picked up her phone, clicked on WhatsApp, and saw Clayton’s message at 5:00 am.[I’ve just landed safely. Good morning to you!]The corner of Nicole’s lips curled up.She immediately replied. [Good morning, Mr. Sloan!]......Clayton made a quick trip, which made Nicole so happy that she was cheerful all day. She did not go to the office and carried the carefully selected gifts to the car for Yvette and Julie.It was great to be her bestie.Julie was on the set. Nicole thought about it and took those ugly big brand bags and clothes to the car.Nicole really did not understand how Clayton’s tastes could be good for a moment and bad the next.At the set.Julie looked at those big brand bags that were rand
Ferguson Corporation.Eric’s office was extremely cold.During this period, Eric’s mood began to return to the state before the divorce. He was exuding a kind of strong chill that came from the bones.The entire company worked carefully.Even Mitchell inevitably became Eric’s punching bag a few times.Eric sat there in the shadows as he was shrouded in a dense chill.The radiant Keith Ludwig was sitting opposite Eric.Their expressions were simply worlds apart.Toto was extremely reluctant to feed the fish in Eric’s office. The two fish worth several hundreds of thousands each were overfed by Toto and died. Fortunately, Eric did not find out.Toto pricked up his ears to eavesdrop. Keith laughed in a shrill voice.“Ferg, you just have to bite the bullet and be ruthless. Women can’t be spoiled. Look, Livia’s back to my side now, isn’t she?”Eric sat there with clear and cold eyes. He lifted his eyelids and looked indifferent.If Keith had not come over to share his joy of vic
Hearing Toto’s words, Keith paused and laughed.Keith put down the coffee cup in his hand heavily.“Do you think that Eric’s tactics will be straightforward enough to leave evidence? When whatever happens is done, Clayton Sloan will naturally have to get lost. By then, who will feel nauseated? It just depends on whether Ferg will be soft-hearted!”Eric’s eyebrows were twisted. His face turned unconsciously glum.Toto took a look at Eric’s expression and lowered his voice.“Ms. Stanton isn’t a submissive person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten divorced. Ms. Lehman has a good temper and doesn’t have as good a family background as the Ludwig family, so of course, Ms. Lehman will have many concerns. Even now if she agrees to be with you, it’s not necessarily from the heart…”As soon as Toto said that, the room became inexplicably silent.Toto just dumped a bucket of cold water over Keith’s head, so Keith looked displeased.Of course, Keith knew why Livia had agreed to go back t
