Yvette was not the only one outside.Julie, Ian, Nathaniel, and Yvette lined up outside neatly.They also froze for a moment when they saw Clayton.Julie reacted the quickest and pushed the door in while greeting Clayton familiarly.“You’re here too, Mr. Sloan? We wouldn’t have disturbed you if we had known...”Yvette followed inside and agreed modestly. “Yup, yup.”Ian grunted coldly and followed them in without a trace of shame. He was simply unhappy with Clayton’s presence here.As for Nathaniel, he sized Clayton up for a few moments and could not help but complain to Ian.“They haven’t broken up yet?”Ian was also baffled. “It’ll happen soon.”Clayton hesitated before reminding them.“I can hear you, you know.”Ian nodded. “Yeah, we know.”Ian was Nicole’s childhood friend cum best friend cum former suitor.He was not afraid of Clayton’s provocations!After they broke up and Clayton became Nicole’s ex, their paths would never cross again.However, Ian was Nicole’s b
Nicole looked at Nathaniel. It was not strange for Yvette to call Julie and Ian here.However, why did someone as busy as Nathaniel come as well?“Aren’t you busy now, Mr. Celebrity?”Nathaniel laughed. “I am. I’m a producer now, so I really feel that the entertainment circle isn’t easy to mingle in. When I’m popular, people want nothing more than to hold me up. When I’m not popular, they can scold me to death!”Nicole frowned. “What? Why are they scolding you?”Nathaniel sighed with a sorrowful expression.“It’s hard to explain!”Julie smiled from the side and helped Clayton set up the table.“Why else? Mr. Ferguson is being shipped with another female celebrity, but photos of him sending another woman to the hospital were taken, so he became a veritable scumbag. People are intolerant of such things. It’s only natural that he’ll be scolded!”Nathaniel’s expression was ugly and disheveled.He became even more speechless and sad after Julie’s words.“It’s just a ship tease, b
However, Julie was a little embarrassed.“Nicole, if your third brother heard you praise him so much, he won’t hesitate to sneak out after rehearsals to buy you a gift...”Nicole was speechless.Would Kai hesitate otherwise?Yvette came over from the side while eating snacks.“Kai’s qualities at that time goes without saying. At that time, fans weren’t that abnormal. They would just like a person they like. They won’t deny the celebrity’s career achievements just because of their private life. Unlike now...”Nathaniel fell into silence.He was born in the wrong era.Clayton finished preparing and called everyone over.“Let’s eat...”He prepared a dual-sided hotpot – clear soup and spicy soup.They were never perfunctory when it came to food.Nathaniel did not need to appear in front of the camera anymore, so he did not need to deliberately watch his diet.He let go and ate boldly.Clayton brought the cooked beef in front of Nicole, who frowned slightly.Nicole was clearl
Nicole painstakingly moved Yvette and Julie to the sofa.Yvette was already unconscious.However, Julie still had a trace of sobriety. “I won’t bother you guys. I’ll leave...”Nicole quickly grabbed her in fright. “Where do you think you’re going after drinking so much? My third brother will come back and kill me!”Julie’s eyes were hazy. “Oh, I forgot to call Kai. He told me to call him every night.”Then, Julie took out her phone from her pocket.Nicole looked at her. It seemed like Julie was really drunk.Julie called Kai and told him everything like she was reporting her schedule.“Kai, I’m drinking at Nicole’s place... If you don’t believe me, then listen.”Nicole took the phone in resignation.“Remember to buy me a gift after rehearsals, or I’ll throw her out on the street!”Kai grunted and warned Nicole.“Don’t you dare! Don’t let her go home by herself. You have to stay with her the whole night, you hear me?”It was a warning from her third brother.Nicole hung up
Clayton thought, ‘Haven’t I already met her friends and best friends as her boyfriend tonight? Why should we be afraid of them seeing us live together? Unless she doesn’t want anyone to know that our relationship is already this close. Did that mean she was ready to end this relationship anytime?’Nicole realized that she said the wrong thing.She did not know how to explain herself.If the Stanton family heard of this, Floyd and Grant would not let Clayton off the hook.However, seeing the light in Clayton’s eyes extinguish little by little, she felt her heart break as if it was being squeezed. The pain drilled into her bones.Just as Nicole was about to open her mouth to explain, Clayton stood up calmly with a warm and understanding smile on his face.“Then you should rest well. I’ll go upstairs first.”His tone remained calm without the slightest fluctuation.However, Nicole heard a bone-piercing coldness.Clayton opened the bedroom door and went out.Nicole suddenly panic
Clayton’s face changed. He rolled down the bed, closed the bedroom door, and locked it behind him.Nicole only told him to close the door, not to get lost.That meant she was reluctant to part with him.Clayton naturally would not be so understanding as to take care of those two people upstairs.As soon as he turned around, Nicole ran to the bathroom using the clothes he had torn to cover her chest.She was too quick for him to react.Clayton touched his chin and smiled.It was fine. They could take it slow.As long as she did not hate it.Nicole calmed down and began to fill the bathtub.She wanted to soak for a while longer to freshen up.She could wait for the man outside to fall asleep after being unable to hold back too.Hurrying out would just be sending herself into danger’s jaws.Nicole very cleverly locked the door and began to soak in the bath.She made sure not to miss the essential oils and candles.The more tedious, the better.After about twenty minutes of
Nicole could not stand their probing looks. Seeing as the situation was getting awkward, Nicole immediately countered.“I was born with good skin!”Julie immediately stopped Yvette, who wanted to continue speaking.She looked at Nicole with a smile.“Well, your boyfriend went out early in the morning to buy breakfast for us. Thank him properly for us. It’s getting late now, and we still have things to do, so we’ll see you at the banquet tonight.”Nicole nodded. Old Master Carter’s birthday banquet was tonight, so of course, they would see each other.Yvette was pulled away by Julie.Only Clayton and Nicole were left in the living room.Nicole looked at the breakfast on the dining table and frowned slightly.They tossed around until early morning, but he still had the energy to go out to buy breakfast. Did he not need to sleep?She turned her head to look at him.Clayton instantly understood what she was thinking.He smiled and explained.“I had someone buy it early in the
Grant was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.“When did you come back to Mediania, Mr. Sloan?”“My flight arrived the night before yesterday.”Clayton answered without thinking.After he did, Clayton realized Grant’s motive.His face changed slightly.Clayton was just about to look up, but Grant already walked away without saying a word.Even Grant’s back had an inexplicable chill.Clayton was speechless.Nicole was clearly in a good mood this early morning.When the lady at the front desk and the secretary greeted her, she responded to them one by one.Others did not know what was going on, but Logan knew best.However, he could not say.Logan knocked on the door with the documents and poured her a cup of coffee.“President, Asher Sullivan from Cyndro International wants to see you. Will you meet him?”Nicole paused. “No.”She did not have a good impression of that person.Even if a few years passed, there was nothing good worth discovering.Fu
