Nicole was briefly dazed. Her heart was surging with emotions.
The answer Clayton gave her was too heavy, like he had simply handed over his life to her.
She could easily control his life and death.
Nicole's phone rang and interrupted the undercurrents of ambiguity flowing between them.
She fluttered her eyelashes and hurriedly looked down to get her phone.
It was Logan rushing her from downstairs.
Nicole hung up the phone and looked at Clayton.
"Do you want to stay here and rest?”
Clayton said, "No, I wanna stay with you.”
He was so clingy.
Nicole nodded. When she went over to get her bag, Clayton took it for her and held her hand with his other hand.
She silently curled the corners of her lips.
Nicole suddenly thought that being held by Clayton like this felt so good.
In the elevator.
Nicole thought about it and hesitantly spoke.
"Mr. Sloan?"
"Hmm?"
Nicole looked at their reflection in the mirror. When she was standing with him, his expression was mild a s if nothing had happened.
"I won't sell you to others."
Nicole spoke in a small voice, but she was certain that he heard her.
Clayton looked sideways and raised his eyebrows. The smile on his face deepened.
"Really?"
'Why didn’t it look like that just now...?' Clayton thought.
Nicole nodded with certainty. Her expression was firm. "Because they can't afford to buy you!"
'Clayton Sloan is such a valuable commodity! How can the average person afford to buy him? Who are they kidding?!' Nicole thought.
Clayton was speechless and did not know whether he should cry or laugh. He rubbed her hair and felt a little helpless.
The two of them went out of the elevator hand in hand.
Logan was still waiting anxiously downstairs.
Seeing the two of them together in an intimate manner, Logan suddenly felt like they were such a good match.
