Clayton lowered his eyes and looked serious as he put on Nicole’s shoes. He then kept her high heels in the bag and picked the bag up casually with a smile on his face.“Go on then, I’ll come and pick you up after work.”Nicole looked at Clayton’s handsome and gentle face and blushed even more.She clearly knew that her rumors could not be erased in the office.Under Clayton’s gaze, her heart beat faster for a moment. She did not know how to cope with this little episode.Nicole froze and nodded, then turned around stiffly and ran away with a flushed face.She went into the conference room.The people in the conference room had long since arrived. When Nicole entered, they all looked at her.Nicole paused, sat down at the head of the table, glanced at Logan, who followed her in, and nodded.Logan said, “Let’s begin.”Nicole finally calmed down and was immersed in the meeting.After the meeting, she went back to her office.She saw her phone that was exploding with messages.
Nicole went downstairs.Clayton’s car was extraordinarily conspicuous.He stood there looking tall, handsome, and gentle. He looked like he was within reach yet also unattainable.Nicole smiled and walked over. Clayton went over and hugged her, then opened the door for her.The driver nodded and got into the car.Nicole was wondering why Clayton suddenly got the driver to come over.Clayton whispered in her ear, “This way, I can hold hands with you in the back.”Hearing that, Nicole felt her heart racing for a moment again.She rolled her eyes at him. “It’s only a few minutes…”Clayton smiled and did not say anything.He never went back from the time he sent her to the office.Clayton handled everything and instructed Roland from the car. He finally waited for Nicole to get off work and was anxious to see her.The car was extraordinarily slow.Nicole put down her phone and looked at the vehicles outside. There was not much traffic, so why were they going so slow?She coul
Clayton said, “Habits can be changed, not to mention professional habits.”These words were spoken carelessly, but his attitude was firm.Nicole raised her eyebrows. Unexpectedly, her mood improved.After dinner, Nicole did not see any surprises.Although her heart was relieved, at the same time, she also felt a little disappointed.Clayton took her hand and left.The driver left, so Clayton became the driver.The weather in October was not too cold nor too hot. It was just right.It was just a little chilly at night.When they returned home, Nicole did not see any surprises at home either.It seemed that she was thinking too much tonight.Nicole threw down her bag and took off her coat.“I’m going to the study first…”Clayton looked at her and suddenly called out to her.“Babe…”His voice was a little low and tense.Nicole looked back.Clayton did not say anything.Nicole leaned against a side cabinet and looked at Clayton with smiling eyes. “You’ve been distracted a
Seeing Nicole’s surprised face, Clayton smiled with his eyes.“I know that this might be a little rushed, but I’ve been thinking about this moment for a long, long time. From the time we first started dating, I’ve already been thinking about what kind of method I should use to propose to you that would seem less cheesy…”Nicole’s body stiffened slightly. She looked at him, pretending to be calm.“So, you figured it out?”Clayton shook his head.“No, but I can’t wait any longer. I’ll think about it slowly after I’m done proposing, okay?”His attitude was sincere, and he did not look like he was lying.Nicole could not help but take a look outside.Those light blue letters were still in front of her eyes. They looked like stars falling in the quiet night and were indescribably beautiful.Nicole never dreamed that she would one day be touched by something so tacky and simple.Clayton saw that she did not speak and felt like his heart was about to leap out of his throat.“In fac
Clayton looked at it and smiled. “That’s because there’s a fixed amount of condensing agent that can keep the fog at a sufficient concentration level for a fixed period of time…”Clayton finished explaining and sighed as he hugged Nicole.“I’m proposing to you. I’m not trying to teach you how this science works. Can’t you focus on what’s important here?”Nicole could not help but let out a laugh. She turned around to hug him back.“Thank you. I love it. As long as the diamond ring is big enough, the ceremony isn’t important. After all, the thought is in the diamond ring!”Nicole reassured Clayton that the evening had been a success, especially that meteor shower, which was very stunning.Such an unprecedented proposal was enough to make her happy.Clayton hugged her and chuckled.“Had I known that’s your request, I would’ve gotten you a bigger one!”Nicole said, “This is good enough. If it’s any bigger, I won’t be able to wear it!”Clayton was speechless.The two of them kis
Nicole reached out her hand and looked at the big diamond ring on her finger.She calmly said, “Mm, I know. That’s not a projection or drones. It’s a chemical reaction produced by some special element and fog. As the fog evaporates, it creates the illusion of a meteor shower…”Nicole finished briefly and suddenly felt the silence from over the phone.After a long time, Nicole called out to her.“Yvette?”Yvette could not help but ask, “OMG! Was that proposal prepared for you? Did Clayton do that?”Nicole curled her lips.“Yup!”Yvette sighed in shock.“Holy sh*t! Here I am trying to find out who did it, but it turned out to be yours?! Why is he so fast? Is it because you’re pregnant, so he wants to push things on quickly? Mr. Sloan is really something, huh?”Nicole could not help but sigh and rubbed her head.“It’ll happen sooner or later anyway. I also didn’t expect it, but I’m quite satisfied.”“How can you NOT be satisfied?! What else do you want?”Yvette laughed. “You
Nicole was not involved with the wedding arrangements and was shocked when she saw it.Even though she had attended many elite weddings and had seen many customs of the gentry, she felt that this wedding that Clayton planned was a mix of freedom, wildness, opulence, and joy. It had completely exceeded her expectations.The public did not know about their wedding, nor was any of the media invited. Everyone who attended the wedding was advised to put away their phones to enjoy the ceremony.Thus, the outside world did not know that Nicole and Clayton had gotten married.The married Nicole felt no different from her unmarried self, so she happily accepted the status quo.One day, Nicole was working at the office.Yvette ran over with great enthusiasm and dragged her to a private auction.This auction was different from the past.Those who were invited to participate were members only, and the goods auctioned inside were treasures collected by the elites.This auction was held eve
Nicole shook her head. “No, it’s mine.”Yvette was stunned and jerked her head up to look at her.“Why didn’t you spend his money? Aren’t you guys already married? Isn’t his money also yours?”Nicole pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows.She never thought about that before.“Does it matter whose money I spend?”Yvette looked at Nicole speechlessly.“Of course, it matters! Do you know how much money he has? Do you know what he spends his money on? If he doesn’t let you spend his money, he’ll spend it on other women instead. You have to keep an eye on his money. Even if you don’t lack money, you can’t let go of it, understand?”Nicole was shocked by Yvette’s remarks.Yvette sighed and wrapped her arms around herself.“Anyway, I basically never spend my own money now. Lance has money, so I can spend it as I please. The more I spend, the more he earns. I can’t let him think that I’m low-maintenance. Otherwise, he’ll think that women outside are more valuable than me, right?”
