Nicole smiled and looked inside.“Did you rest enough? Were we too noisy?”When Clayton looked at Nicole, his gaze was warm and soft like it was filled with light. “It’s fine.”Clayton walked over and stood behind Nicole’s chair. He was tall and handsome, and his gaze was somber as he looked at Autumn.“Ms. Ferguson, you repeatedly tried to destroy my relationship with my girlfriend. Do I know you? Are we even familiar with each other? Why are you so proud to sabotage someone else’s relationship?”Clayton’s questioning tone was like a thorn stabbed into Autumn’s heart.It was shameful and embarrassing at the same time.Autumn had never confessed her love to him.That was because before she could find a chance to get close to him, he was already with someone else.The room was silent.Autumn’s face had turned from red to white.It was only after a long time that Autumn found a trace of courage to save her image under everyone’s gaze.Autumn clenched her fists and restrained
Nicole saw it and curled up the corners of her lips.“Your words are too harsh.”Clayton sat aside with an indifferent look on his face.“Was it?”“It’s too harsh, but I like it,” Nicole added.Clayton smiled at Nicole and reached out to rub her ear.“Do you suspect her?”Autumn’s arrival meant that she was anxious.Why was she anxious?That was because Autumn knew very well that Nicole was going to find out.Nicole curled the corner of her lips. “Of course.”Soon.After Autumn went out, she knew that it would not work trying to negotiate with Nicole, but there was not much time left until the time given by Old Master Leonard.If Autumn did not get things sorted out today, Old Master Leonard would definitely suspect her.Autumn stood on the street, thought about it, and made a phone call.“Have someone tamper with the quality inspection process. Replace those qualified ones with unqualified ones. This way, even if Nicole personally went to the site, she could not explain
Clayton and Nicole looked at each other for a long time.Nicole choked and was speechless. ‘How can Clayton be so demanding of himself? Clayton was 1.92 meters tall. His body was slim, and he looked gentle and handsome. All of his conditions were first class.If Clayton was placed in the entertainment industry, those A-list male celebrities could step aside.Nicole pursed her lips and looked at Clayton very politely.“Mr. Sloan, you’re quite demanding about appearance, huh? I think you’re already very good-looking…”Clayton raised his eyebrows. His eyes lit up. “Really?”Nicole nodded sincerely and listed out his strengths while keeping count with her fingers.“Of course! Look, you have a good figure that’s not fat and not too thin because you work out often. You’re tall, extremely handsome, and you’re also very rich! How can you not be up to standard? How high are your standards for yourself?”The corners of Clayton’s lips gradually curled up as he looked at her with an undi
Wow!After Nicole got over the initial shock, she smiled and admired the beautiful pictures.There were a total of three or four shots, each from a different angle. It looked very candid and natural, not at all deliberate.One of the shots completely covered Nicole’s side profile, with only Clayton’s side profile looking down in view.It was simply astonishing.The filter and angle simply matched perfectly!Another one was of Clayton’s slender back. It captured the moment when Nicole tilted her head to smile at Clayton, which captured the light in her eyes. The light of that moment seemed to come from her body and was incredibly stunning.The other two pictures were also very nice. It was simply better than a professional shoot.Clayton was also very satisfied.He looked at Logan and said, “Logan, you’re very talented in taking pictures!”Logan smiled modestly. “I’m not that great. It’s just average. My family has a photography studio.”Nicole was speechless. ‘Is Logan tryin
Old Master Leonard was starting to get anxious.He had to pacify Nicole before Floyd Stanton found trouble with him.The butler nodded his head.He found Logan’s phone number and dialed it.Logan replied, “Sorry, Ms. Stanton is busy preparing for tomorrow’s quality inspection. She doesn’t even have time to eat. When she’s free, she’ll have tea with Old Master Leonard.”Old Master Leonard naturally heard this clearly from the side.His face had changed.He was afraid that Nicole remembered how he had embarrassed her last time at the banquet.That was why she did not even make a second visit, not to mention the third visit.Nicole really had Floyd Stanton’s foul temper.When they called again, Logan did not answer the phone.Nicole was not very busy because Logan arranged everything very well.Thus, Nicole and Clayton went out for dinner and went back to the hotel.Old Master Leonard was anxious and suddenly remembered that Keith seemed to be closer to Nicole that night.Th
Nicole said, “It’s only been a few days, so I haven’t forgotten Old Master Leonard’s teachings. How can I possibly bother him?”“Nicole, I’ll be straight with you. I don’t know why, but I can feel that he regrets it and is quite anxious to help you solve this matter. Why don’t you just give in a little so everyone will be better off?”Nicole laughed coldly.“Keith, tell Old Master Leonard that I’m refusing to give in. The situation just doesn’t allow me to.”Keith froze for a moment. “What do you mean?”Nicole wanted to be calculative?She was not the type.Nicole’s tone was slightly cold.“This afternoon, Old Master Leonard’s god-granddaughter Ms. Autumn Ferguson came to my office and wanted to hand over the reporter to me, but she disappeared after not getting the terms she wanted from me. I now suspect that it was Ms. Ferguson who found this reporter, and the whole thing may have been planned with Old Master Leonard. Keith, tell Old Master Leonard that I appreciate his good
The next day.The quality inspection department was officially stationed in the project team.Thus, the building materials were sealed and could only be moved by internal personnel. At the same time, several homeowners were randomly selected to have their building materials tested as well.The third-party agency’s supervisory team were proficient in different areas and ensured that there was no foul play.They uploaded the quality inspection progress and videos for the public.The netizens praised Stanton Corporation’s decision.It was simply an open inspection.This way, people questioned this rumor even more.After all, everything about Stanton Corporation’s response was unbelievably frank and direct.Nicole and Clayton also put on simple casual clothes and safety helmets as they went to the warehouse on the project site.Although the time was short, they invited a lot of media so that the inspection would be completely transparent and open. They were not afraid to let the
Nicole did not understand Clayton’s question. ‘What was the point?’“Of course, there’s a use. Logan will think of a way!”Aside from home, Nicole would feel more at ease with Logan when she was outside.After all, Logan was an attentive, serious, and amazing assistant!Nicole thought that any amount of bonus was not enough for the work Logan did.Clayton silently lowered his head and instantly looked downcast.The next second, he took out a bluish-gray handkerchief from his pocket. It looked very expensive. He used some force to tear it into two triangles from the middle.Then, he gently held Nicole’s ankle. Nicole was slightly stunned and wanted to say something, but she held back.Clayton wrapped the handkerchief around the injured part of her heel.Then, he tied a knot and stuffed her foot back into the shoe. The remaining long triangular part at the back was wrapped around the part of Nicole's skin that was abraded and looked more like an accessory.It completely separat
