Faced with Clayton’s courteous inquiry, Mitchell nodded and said politely, “Please wait a moment…”Then, Mitchell knocked on Eric’s office door and went in.Eric’s expression was cold and solemn as he stared at the screen, listening to the report the person on the other side was giving.Eric was very unhappy that he was disturbed.His eyes coldly swept over Mitchell.Mitchell pursed his lips at the cold air around him and mouthed a name. “Clayton Sloan.”In an instant, Eric’s pupils shrank.Eric simply spoke in French and ended the video conference before shutting down his computer.“Speak.”Mitchell sighed in relief. “Mr. Sloan is here. He asked if you were available.”If it were someone else, Mitchell would have probably let them wait until Eric finished the meeting.However, Clayton was different. This method did not work on him. If they made Clayton wait for just a minute, he might find an excuse and leave.Eric’s eyes were cold and dark.He reached out for the cigaret
The atmosphere between the two men was extremely cold and hard. It could even be said to be explosive.Clayton’s smile faded.“You, touch me? Will Nicole take that lying down?”Nicole had almost fallen out with Eric during the previous mess on the internet the last time.Eric’s dark eyes fiercely shrunk, cold and hostile.Clayton said, “I know that Isaac came to you. He must have told you a lot about me, right?”Eric suddenly sneered. “So, you came here because of that?”He suddenly understood.Isaac had indeed come to him.The Sloan family was a fat piece of meat that anyone could take advantage of. Who would not have eyes for it?Eric was originally still afraid of the Sloan family’s power, but Isaac’s head was empty. He was completely different from the shrewd and capable Clayton.Since Isaac was willing to take the initiative to send himself to Eric’s door, Eric would certainly not give up this opportunity.Eric managed to fool Isaac with just a few words. He really did
Clayton raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of coldness in his smile.However, Clayton was relieved. Since he achieved his goal, it was time to leave.Clayton slowly stood up and spoke with an irritating tone.“I should be going now, Mr. Ferguson. Nicole will be worried if I stay any longer.”Clayton ignored Eric’s murderous gaze and stood up.He smiled faintly at Eric.Eric was clearly provoked by the words. His eyes twitched fiercely and carried a scarlet killing intent.This damned Clayton Sloan was always challenging Eric’s limits time and time again.The next second, Eric could no longer hold back. The blood in his body surged as his anger reached an extreme point.Abruptly, Eric crossed the table, grabbed Clayton’s collar, and yanked him forward, then swung a fist at him.“Just you wait, Clayton. I won’t let you off easily!”The corner of Clayton’s mouth was bleeding, and half of his face was bruised, painting his gentle and scholarly face with color. It was particul
It had not been easy for the two of them to come this far together. Putting aside the matter with Yvette, Grant and Aida were the ideal couple. They were well-matched in every aspect.Nicole was Grant’s sister, so the first thing she thought about was Grant’s views.If Grant was happy, Nicole was all for it!Grant looked at Aida helplessly. It seemed like the engagement was Aida’s idea.Floyd agreed with Nicole’s words. “That’s right. I also think that it’s better to get married straight away. It’s been a long time since there’s been a wedding in the family. If you get married straight, you can have it however you want. Make it as grand as you’d like. I’ll pay for it!”Floyd patted his chest as he spoke.Aida lowered her head and smiled. Her eyebrows arched in slight embarrassment.“We’re not in a rush to get married since I still have a lot of work on my hands. There’s a lot of work to put into a wedding, and I’m afraid that I can’t make time for it. It won’t be too late to tal
Nicole naturally knew that there were no emotional developments with Julie and that Julie was conflicted about whether or not to accept Kai’s goodwill.Nicole advised Julie to calm down and think about it before deciding.However, she did not dare to say this to Kai.Kai scoffed. “That’s more like it. Aida, if you have any celebrities that you like, I can invite them to the engagement ceremony. Consider it my congratulatory gift…”In the entertainment industry, Kai was a steady big boss.Aida looked up in surprise and spoke without hesitation.“Really? Fabian! I like Fabian!”‘Oh? That young idol?’ Nicole subconsciously looked up and saw Aida with stars in her eyes as she clasped her hands.“Little Fabian is just too adorable. I want him to come. Is that possible?”Kai gave a wicked smile and looked unconcerned.“Of course…”The moment Kai looked up, he saw Grant’s warning look, so he instantly took back his words.“Of course… not!”Aida’s starry eyes dimmed for a moment.
Since they established their relationship, Clayton constantly contacted Nicole.Clayton told her to eat well, to remember to rest, to drink less coffee…Sometimes, when Nicole saw them, she would reply. However, when she was busy, she would simply ignore them.Despite that, Clayton never got angry. He sent messages almost once every five minutes.Somewhere along the line, she had gotten used to it.Nicole frowned when she looked at the quiet phone.When she opened up their chatlog, she saw that their conversations always started because he initiated them.She typed a few words into the chatbox. “Are you busy…”Thinking about it, she deleted it.It was better to call directly.A few seconds later, the call was answered.“Pretty Lady, I missed you so much…”It was sweet Lil Michael!Nicole smiled. “I missed you too. Why did you answer the phone? Where’s your daddy?”Lil Michael grunted and spoke hesitantly.“Daddy got beaten up and has a fever now. He’s gonna die!”Nicole
Only the two of them were left in the room, but Nicole could barely hear Clayton’s breathing.Nicole pursed her lips. For some reason, she felt her nose sting.She reached out to touch Clayton’s forehead and found that it was indeed burning up.Just as she was about to retract her hand, a hand suddenly pulled hers.Nicole jumped.His large hand was hot, just like his body temperature.Nicole could not care about that and hurriedly went up to him. “You’re awake?”Her voice was tinged with caution as if she was afraid of startling him.Clayton opened his dry mouth. His voice was as coarse as sandpaper.“Why are you here?”Nicole’s eyes reddened, too embarrassed to say that she only remembered to come because he had not contacted her.She pursed her lips. “I called your phone, but Lil Michael picked up and said that you had a fever…”The corners of Clayton’s mouth pulled into a weak smile as he comforted her.“It’s fine. I’m sorry I made you worry, but… I’m really happy that
Nicole went to the balcony and dialed Eric’s phone while waiting for the ice.Eric was clearly very surprised when he picked up.“Nicole? I was just about to call you. Our thoughts really are connected…”“Eric Ferguson, does it feel good to hit someone? Why didn’t you hit yourself twice to satisfy that urge?”Nicole gritted her teeth and lowered her voice. ‘Eric F*ckerson really deserves a scolding!’Eric was silent for a few seconds before he spoke with a slightly cold voice. “He snitched on me?”His tone was disdainful.Nicole took a deep breath. “Did he have to? Anyone with eyes would be able to see it!”Eric snorted coldly.It was not even a fight. Clayton could not even endure one punch?“I’m telling you, if you dare to make a move on the people around me again, I won’t let you off!”Nicole threatened him. ‘Did he think he’s the only one who could hit others? He’s too arrogant and conceited!’She ruthlessly hung up the phone without waiting for Eric to explain.Mitche
