Before Nicole could speak, the man to the side coughed heavily and expressed his displeasure.
Clayton had a polite smile on his face, but there was n o happiness in his expression.
"Nicole already has plans with me for tonight. You should go by yourself, Ms. Quimbey..."
Ridiculous.
Clayton thought, 'How dare she ask my girlfriend out t o look at young idols in front of me? I shouldn't have given her that toast! I'd rather feed it to the dogs!'
Yvette looked at her regretfully, and Nicole nodded.
"Fine. Next time, then. I'll go try it out first. I'll call you i f it's good!"
Nicole's lips twitched. Clayton could no longer tolerate it.
"Ms. Quimbey, aren't you leaving yet? Nicole still has a n important meeting. She's going to be late..."
He pointed at his million-dollar watch and urged her.
Yvette pursed her lips. "Mr. Sloan, you should just apply to be Nicole’s assistant. Logan's job belongs to you!"
Clayton smiled, neither servile nor overbearing.
"I'm always on standby whenever Logan resigns!"
Yvette snorted and looked at Nicole.
"He’s so controlling. You lost your freedom. Go and teach him a lesson. I'm leaving now..."
Nicole could not help but curl the corners of her mouth.
"Go. Call me if anything happens!”
Yvette nodded. After eating her fill, she left happily.
Nicole looked at her back and sighed.
Clayton looked at her.
"Ms. Quimbey has quite a big heart. She doesn’t look hurt at all."
Nicole smiled. "She has always been like this. Even if she’s sad in her heart, she won't mention it a second time. She lost her composure enough yesterday, so she’ll definitely rouse her spirits today."
Clayton rubbed the bridge of his nose to relieve his tiredness and chuckled.
"In other words, Mr. Moore will have to work hard. Ms. Quimbey is a clear-headed person. She won't repeat the same mistake, right?"
Nicole looked at him. "No, this time she really won't. N o matter what Sean does, Yvette will never look back."
She knew Yvette too well.
Following her line of sight, Clayton froze too.
There was a momentary flash of confusion.
Why?
Why did Grant always appear during times like these?
Grant stood in front of Clayton's car. His gaze was cold and sullen as he looked at the people inside without the slightest intention to avoid them.
He looked at Clayton like he was stabbing needles at him. His face was dark and cloudy.
Clayton pursed his lips. His brows tightened slightly. However, he quickly calmed down and smiled.
"Should I go greet him?"
Nicole nodded. Grant already saw them, so they could not just leave like that.
The two of them got out of the car, and Clayton nodded politely. "Mr. Stanton, nice to meet you.”
Nicole walked over. "Big Brother, why did you come to work at this hour?”
She frowned, puzzled.
Grant was not the kind of person to show up late!
