Clayton sneered in his heart.Those good words about him were because he could show a side of himself that he wanted others to see.He did not say those words himself, so he would not admit it.Ann’s smile became completely strained.She looked at him with a cold gaze.“Fine, then I’ll get to the point. Mr. Sloan, why don’t we make a deal?”Clayton looked at her silently.......In Nicole’s home.Yvette drank cup after cup, cursing as she drank and venting out all her aggression and resentment.When she drank until she vomited, Nicole and Julie helped her to the bathroom to wash up, then took her to the bed to rest.The two of them also drank a lot, but at least they were still conscious.Julie looked at the time. It was almost 10:00 pm.“I have to go back.”Nicole held her forehead. “It’s already so late. Just stay the night before leaving.”Julie shook her head. “I can’t. I have a flight to Milan early tomorrow morning. I have a very important show.”Then, she walked
The series of movements were fluent, skillful, and crisp.Nicole had already arrived at Clayton’s door before she could react.She scratched her head and looked at him with misty eyes.“Clayton, you’re back?”Clayton looked at her with a deep gaze and hummed.Sure enough, Nicole drank too much.Nicole once again threw herself into his arms and muttered.Clayton frowned. He did not hear her since her voice was too soft.He lifted her face and narrowed his eyes.“What did you say?”Nicole smiled, brilliant as the sun, and wrapped her hands around his waist.“I said that your waist is really thin. It’s thinner than Ian’s and Fabian’s....”In an instant, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.Clayton’s eyes were deep as he looked at her.“Is that so?”Nicole nodded firmly.“Yup!”She grinned and praised him. “This size is great. I like slim waists!”Clayton’s face was dark and sunken. There seemed to be a huge storm brewing inside his eyes, a storm that was about to sweep
Turning on her phone, Nicole saw that it was almost 10:00 am.Nicole suddenly got up and remembered that she had an important video conference that morning.Just then, Clayton knocked on the door and came in. He leaned against the door with a bowl of soup and looked at her. His eyes were still warm and gentle like spring water.“You’re awake? I made some soup for you. Why don’t you give it a try?”He walked over and did not put it down directly. Instead, he crouched by her bedside with a hint of apology like he was trying to curry favor. He blew on the soup and scooped it up with a spoon before bringing it to Nicole’s mouth.Nicole grunted coldly. “Do you have to serve me so attentively?”Clayton smiled with a trace of heartache and apology in his eyes.He clearly did not drink too much last night. He only drank a few sips when socializing.However, after hearing Nicole’s words, his heart lost control like a demon.When Clayton got close to her, he could not help but want to b
Nicole laughed and motioned for Clayton to open the door.Clayton stood helplessly. “Why did she come to my place when she’s hungry?”Nicole said, “Because she probably knows that I’m here...”Clayton was helpless.He could only open the door.Nicole went to wash up.“Ms. Quimbey...”“Mr. Sloan, I knew you guys were at home. Is Nicole up?”As Yvette spoke, she pushed open the door and came in, not polite at all.Clayton closed his eyes. He had to endure it. After all, she was Nicole’s best friend!The people that could not be offended the most were a girlfriend’s best friend. He understood that rule.“She just got up and went to wash up. Why did you come up here?”Yvette looked at him. “I’m hungry. Takeout doesn’t deliver here, so I can only come here to eat.”She sniffed around. “I smell something nice.”Clayton pursed his lips and smiled. “Wait a moment.”He went to the kitchen to bring out some toast as well as some side dishes.Yvette looked at him with a vague smil
Before Nicole could speak, the man to the side coughed heavily and expressed his displeasure.Clayton had a polite smile on his face, but there was no happiness in his expression.“Nicole already has plans with me for tonight. You should go by yourself, Ms. Quimbey...”Ridiculous.Clayton thought, ‘How dare she ask my girlfriend out to look at young idols in front of me? I shouldn’t have given her that toast! I’d rather feed it to the dogs!’Yvette looked at her regretfully, and Nicole nodded.“Fine. Next time, then. I’ll go try it out first. I’ll call you if it’s good!”Nicole’s lips twitched. Clayton could no longer tolerate it.“Ms. Quimbey, aren’t you leaving yet? Nicole still has an important meeting. She’s going to be late..."He pointed at his million-dollar watch and urged her.Yvette pursed her lips. “Mr. Sloan, you should just apply to be Nicole’s assistant. Logan’s job belongs to you!”Clayton smiled, neither servile nor overbearing.“I’m always on standby whenev
Grant glanced at Nicole coldly. His thin lips pursed tightly, and his gaze was filled with cold disappointment and anger.“I just got back from a meeting with a client. I even had to attend the video conference for you. I thought you had something important to do, but it was just this?!”Nicole coughed. Her expression was slightly uncomfortable.Compared to Grant’s busy day, she really was not qualified to question his schedule.Nicole pursed her lips and softened her voice.“Big Brother, Yvette was a little troubled, so I drank a little wine to accompany her and ended up waking up late. You’ll definitely understand, right...?”Grant glared at her. His gaze landed on Clayton, but his words were directed at Nicole.“You don’t use the driver at home but bother Mr. Sloan instead. You’re really insensible. Mr. Sloan isn’t as idle as you.”Nicole bowed her head and did not speak.Clayton smiled faintly and spoke in a clear voice.“I’m not that busy. No matter how busy I am, I can
Stanton Corporation.In the afternoon, Nicole finally finished dealing with a tricky problem when Logan knocked and came in. He had a complicated expression.“President...”Nicole glanced at him. “Speak...”Logan said, “Someone wants to meet you. She looks a lot like you... And her name is Ann!”Not only did they look alike, but even their names were also the same.Logan almost recognized the wrong person.Thus, he hurried over to ask.Nicole raised her eyes. That woman actually came to her door?Her heart could not help but be a little surprised.Logan scratched his head. “It’s not that similar, but I can’t pinpoint what’s similar either.”The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched. “I know who she is, but I’m not familiar with her. Just say that I’m busy and won’t meet her.”Logan nodded and left immediately after getting Nicole’s response.A few minutes later, he came back.“President, that woman says she has something important to see you for, and that you’ll regret it if
What was going on?Charles was in this woman’s hands?Was this a blatant threat? A kidnapping? Or...Mitchell could not hold on any longer. Whether it was real or not, he had to tell Eric immediately.Then, Mitchell knocked on the conference room and entered.The air in the conference room was as cold as an ice cellar.Seeing Mitchell come in, everyone sighed in relief as if they had seen a savior.Mitchell said a few words in Eric’s ear. Eric’s face turned cold and ugly, and his gaze swept harshly to the door.Suddenly, Eric stood up and walked out in large strides.Everyone exchanged glances.Mitchell smiled. “Everyone, the President has some urgent matters to attend to, so the meeting is temporarily suspended. Once it’s dealt with, we will inform you of the rescheduled meeting time.”Then, Mitchell hurriedly followed Eric out.Ann stood at the door. Her eyes, her expression, and even her smile, were cold.Her makeup was still imitating Nicole’s.Nicole’s temperament wa
