The two ladies talked for a long time.
Nicole was hungry.
Just in time, Grant came in with an insulated food container.
Yvette was also hungry. Her eyes lit up when she saw the food container. Just as she was about to take it, Grant lightly said, "Mr. Sheldon has been outside waiting for someone. It's been more than two hours...”
Yvette’s face stiffened. She immediately retracted her hand and glanced at Grant as she bit her lower lip.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Grant's face was frozen. Yvette could not care less, said goodbye to Nicole, and left in a hurry.
Nicole laughed when she saw Yvette running out. It was clear that Yvette did not mean what she said. She could not even last three days, yet she wanted to stay angry at Lance.
It looks like Yvette was really deep in love with Lance.
Grant let out a light laugh, sat across the table, and opened the food box.
"Let's eat?"
Nicole nodded her head.
Grant took the initiative to speak up. "Clayton's condition is getting better now. I heard Uncle Sven and his professor say that Clayton should be able to wake up in less than a week."
Nicole's eyes lit up. She could not even hide the smile on her face.
"Really?”
Grant nodded. "So just rest easy and get well soon.”
Nicole took a deep breath. "Then when will I be discharged from the hospital? What about work?"
Grant knitted his brows for a moment. His voice was clear.
"There’s no hurry. I'm still around and can handle the company. If you get discharged now, the situation in Southeast Asia is bound to change. To be honest, the situation is now in our favor. Also, Eric owes you."
Nicole understood Grant's meaning. Although she did not want to get involved again, she also did not want the Stanton family to go out of their way to fight with Caleb.
After all, it was Eric who got himself involved.
