Roland said, "Mr. Sloan, I’ve asked the cleaners to tidy up your house, so you can rest assured. The company's affairs have all been taken care of. The summary of the first stage has been sent to your email. You can read it when you have time."
Roland reported as he deftly came over to support Clayton.
Clayton looked at him and did not move.
Roland froze. He suddenly remembered something and slapped his head. Then, he quickly made way for Nicole.
"Ms. Stanton, please..."
Nicole, who was behind him, was speechless.
Roland did not have any other expression, as if he did not know that Clayton almost died. He was also not at all surprised about Clayton's hospitalization.
Nicole could not help but feel a little surprised.
Clayton happily stretched out his arm for Nicole so that she could come over and hold him.
Nicole gave him a speechless look. Clayton was still so clingy and mushy in front of outsiders.
She went over and slapped Clayton’s arm, then opened the door and walked out.
Roland looked back at Clayton and touched his nose a s he cautiously asked.
"Mr. Sloan, are you sure that you two are really dating?"
Clayton immediately retracted his gentle gaze and glared at Roland sharply and dangerously.
Roland shrank his neck and dared not say another word. He took the opportunity to slip out.
Not long after, Nicole took Clayton's arm and walked out. Clayton took a deep breath. Although he did not say anything, he felt quite suffocated being at the hospital for so long.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Clayton lowered his head and whispered in Nicole’s ear.
"Home is still the best 'cause it’s more convenient to d o anything."
Nicole could not help but have some lewd thoughts, so she slapped Clayton's arm gently. He naturally caught her hand and held it tightly.
Their intimate interaction fell into the eyes of others and turned into something different.
When they looked up, the two of them were slightly stunned. Clayton was obviously surprised to see Eric. He frowned for a moment but quickly regained his expression.
Clayton held Nicole’s hand tightly with their fingers interlocked. The corners of his lips carried a warm smile.
This scene was unimaginable!
Nicole and Clayton stood there without saying anything.
Instead, Eric’s eyes suddenly shrank as he tried to suppress his emotions. He looked calm and composed, but his bloodshot eyes could not be concealed.
"Let's talk?"
Eric's voice was raspy, deep, and cold. It was also pleading as he looked straight at Nicole.
Those complicated emotions in his eyes could make people sigh.
The high and mighty Eric, who could do anything at the snap of his finger in the past, was surprisingly so humble now, but who would pity him?
It was all self-inflicted, right?
Clayton looked calm and did not say a thing. Instead, h e looked sideways at Nicole, waiting for her to decide.
He was truly respectful toward Nicole.
Nicole’s tone was indifferent as she said without hesitation, "There’s no need for that. We have nothing t o talk about."
