Clayton looked down at his watch. His bodyguard was probably waiting outside by now.
He had a gentle smile as he laughed.
"Everyone, the honor brought by this project belongs t o each and every one of the researchers, not to me. This is an advancement that belongs to all of humanity and isn't my personal pot of gold. Although I grew up in Liberty, I'm still Medianian. I've also specially sent my son for schooling in Mediania. I'm sure that everyone will be proud of our breakthrough...”
Clayton smiled flawlessly without a trace of impatience.
Although these words did not explicitly favor one side, one could read between the lines that Clayton loved Mediania.
The reporters also let out a sigh of relief. The situation did not seem so intense anymore.
At this time, Clayton’s bodyguards rushed over and quickly opened up a path for Clayton, blocking out the reporters.
Clayton took the opportunity to leave quickly.
This was the end of the live broadcast.
Nicole’s gaze was calm, and her heart was deeply relieved.
After Clayton got into the car, Nicole's phone rang two minutes later.
The caller ID showed that it was Clayton.
Logan paused. "I haven’t seen Mr. Sloan being so clingy."
'After the airport incident, shouldn’t Clayton go back and discuss with the team about showing a united front to the public? Clayton’s still in the mood to call Nicole?' Logan thought.
Nicole raised her eyebrows and gave him a look.
Logan turned around awkwardly and had the good sense to leave Nicole's office.
The phone rang a few more times.
Only then did Nicole pick up the phone unhurriedly.
"Hello? Nicole, do you know where I am? I’m going to surprise you soon. Don't get too shocked!"
Clayton's voice was relaxed and warm, not the slightest bit annoying.
Nicole laughed. "Okay. I'm at the office. The bigger the surprise, the better!"
