Clayton's words burrowed into Nicole's ears like ants, but she instantly understood what he meant.
He was right.
Just because she abided by the rules did not mean others did too.
Nicole wrinkled her brows and looked to the side, hesitating to speak.
Clayton asked, "What's wrong?”
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Nicole grumbled, but Clayton heard her clearly.
He let out a low chuckle but quickly held back.
"Who knew that our Ms. Stanton is so upright?"
Although Clayton did not know much about the entertainment industry in Mediania, he was seasoned after so long in the business world. He knew that when one reached a certain position, some things that could not be tolerated in the eyes of others would just be harmless when done.
Although he disliked it, if doing that could benefit the interests of other aspects, he would do it.
Thus, he was surprised that Nicole did not do anything.
However, after thinking about it, it made sense. If Kai was around, he would have taken care of it for her.
It was understandable that Nicole momentarily neglected it.
Nicole's brows were shrouded in sorrow. Clayton reached out and squeezed her hand, speaking with a smile.
"It's okay. The few minutes you walked down the red carpet with him is enough for him to become the focus of today's event. He already won."
Nicole paused before smiling.
"That’s right. Anyway, since it's become like this, let’s just let nature take its course."
Clayton secretly sighed in relief when he saw her mood turn for the better.
However, his grip on her hand never loosened.
From the side, the two people sitting and laughing together really looked like a couple in love.
All of a sudden, the lights in the whole venue dimmed.
The venue fell silent.
Three seconds later.
Suddenly, a shadow started to move around the stage, and two rows of white fog lamps suddenly lit up.
The moment it lit up, someone appeared on the stage along with the flashing lights. His steps moved to the same rhythm as the lights lit up. It was as if in the boundless universe, only the figure of that person on the stage could be seen in the darkness.
It was Fabian.
Fabian was a representative of the most popular newcomers. His persona had always been positive and active. He was also liked by many seniors, audiences, and fans because of his humble attitude.
With him as the opening model, he instantly ignited the heat in the venue.
Fabian wore the latest fashionable suit and walked at the forefront with a pure feeling of youthfulness.
As he walked in front, he seemed to glance upward and saw Nicole.
