Nicole and Clayton both went to a restaurant. Just as they sat down, the waiter came over.
"Ms. Stanton, Mr. Stanton is in his private room and invited the two of you to dine together."
Nicole was stunned and blinked. "Who?"
Which Mr. Stanton?
Across the table, Clayton also stiffened slightly. There was a rare look of nervousness on his face.
"Mr. Grant Stanton."
Nicole silently glanced at Clayton.
What a coincidence!
The private room that Grant was in had the best view here. One could see the situation outside at a glance, but the people outside could not peek inside.
When Nicole and Clayton entered hand in hand, Grant immediately asked someone to invite them over.
Aida, who was beside Grant, laughed helplessly. "Why are you like this? Nicole is just having a meal with her friend..."
Grant's face was reserved, and his tone was icy cold.
"Since we met, it's good to eat together. We haven’t started eating anyway.”
"You’re clearly just jealous that someone stole your sister, right? She finally started a new relationship, so don't scare him away!"
Aida casually reminded Grant.
Grant's eyebrows twitched as he grunted coldly.
"That just means that he's unreliable, so it's better if h e runs away!"
Aida was speechless.
Aida secretly felt nervous for Nicole and Clayton.
The next second, someone knocked on the door.
Before they could answer, Nicole already pushed the door open and walked in.
Clayton nodded. "Yeah, I just got off the plane not long — H ago.
The two men's auras did not clash. Although Grant's personality was cold, he cared about maintaining basic manners and decency.
Clayton's gentle and soft nature could always win people over with his ingenuity.
"Just now, we were just talking about your development after returning to Mediania. After all, you've invested in this project, and this is your first cooperation with Stanton Corporation. However, the project results will be shared. Right now, many people are eyeing this big piece of meat, and they'll certainly bring out your background. Mr. Sloan, it's best if you can be prepared."
Grant reminded Clayton in a light voice.
Clayton paused. "Nicole has already reminded me of this. The project is Mediania's achievement, so of course, there's no need to move back to Liberty. I'll soon move the focus of my business back here as well.”
Hearing that, Grant was slightly surprised and raised his eyebrows.
"Mr. Sloan, you’re not planning to return to Liberty?"
Clayton smiled lightly. "Yes, that’s what I plan to do at the moment.”
"Why? You’re doing well in Liberty, and there are more opportunities on Wall Street than in Mediania. If you move here, you might even lose all that you have if you can't adapt fast enough..."
