Nicole went to and from work as usual and did not have any abnormal reactions or behaviors.
However, on this day, many people were still paying attention to her movements and reactions.
After all, they used to be married. Even after their divorce, Eric's attitude towards her could be described as extremely humble. Many people were looking forward to them getting back together.
Some people felt that it was best if Nicole did not turn back. It was painful enough to fall once, so it was better if she could just be her beautiful self.
However, some people felt bad for Eric’s humility and hoped that Nicole would give him another chance. After all, these two people looked really good together.
Suddenly, Eric got engaged. It was like he had betrayed their relationship again. His previous deep love and humbleness seemed to have become a deception.
The expectation that everyone had for this relationship turned into sympathy for Nicole.
Even the employees in Stanton Corporation were unable to accept the situation.
They kept cursing Eric for being fickle and disloyal. When it was almost the end of the day, they watched a s Nicole's rumored boyfriend, Clayton Sloan, walked in calmly and briskly with a few boxes of dessert. He got into the elevator and entered Nicole’s office.
Everyone's resentment suddenly dissipated.
If Nicole did not care, what was the point of their indignation?
Furthermore, Clayton's qualifications were not bad at all. His resume was clean. He was gentle and upright, and never was condescending or oppressive when he spoke. At this point, everyone's favorable impression o f Clayton doubled.
Clayton knocked on the door and went in. Nicole was packing up to finish work.
Her eyes flashed in surprise when she saw him. Then, she smiled.
"Aren't you busy today?"
He had to handle his own affairs as well as the decisions for Sloan Corporation in Liberty. He was incredibly busy during this period.
Clayton smiled gently. He had a kind and thoughtful temperament as he stood there and looked at her.
"Eating dessert will boost your mood. I specially went t o buy some."
Nicole looked at him with complicated eyes. "I'm not i n a bad mood."
Clayton paused for a moment. "It was just in case."
Nicole smiled and walked over. "Do you have such little confidence in yourself?”
