Nicole’s throat was still a little hoarse as she looked up at Clayton angrily.
Clayton chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her between the eyebrows.
"It’s all my fault. But you need to understand how hard it is for me to see the most beautiful woman in the world every day. How can I control myself? I'm still a human after all.”
Nicole did not forgive him right away because of his sweet talk.
She snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction.
Clayton was sensible enough and carried her into the bathroom to help her wash up. This time, he was more well-behaved.
He chuckled lightly.
"Should I push off your afternoon tea with Julie? I can just say that you're not feeling well and fell asleep..."
Clayton was being thoughtful. After all, she was exhausted from their physical activity and should get some rest.
Nicole obviously misunderstood him and pushed him away. She slowly sat up without caring about the towel that fell off and hurriedly walked to the dressing room.
"No, I don’t need your help this time. You’re not allowed to come in!"
She had to rest and pretend to be sick?
Clayton chuckled and began to wash up as well.
When he was almost done, he watched as she came out of the dressing room, glared at him, and left.
Nicole was almost an hour late.
Julie rolled her eyes to the back of her head as Nicole smiled and walked over.
"I'm sorry for being late. I got delayed...”
Julie glanced at Nicole and slowly said,"
Your Mr. Sloan won't let you go, huh?"
Nicole was stunned.
"How is that possible? He can't control me!"
Julie looked at her with a sneaky smile and pointed to the hickey on Nicole's neck.
"That’s fresh out of the oven! Do you think I’m blind?!”
Nicole took out her vanity mirror to take a look. Her face flushed red with anger.
She did not know how to explain it.
Nicole was in such a hurry to leave that she did not check carefully.
It was all Clayton's fault!
Julie looked at Nicole with a smile.
"Are you going to give Chatty a younger sibling soon?"
Nicole rolled her eyes at Julie, took out her foundation expressionlessly, looked in the mirror, ;a%?WJS= applied the foundation on her neck to cover up the hickey.
"Nonsense! We didn't plan to."
Julie raised her eyebrows.
"I’m looking forward to it!"
Nicole helplessly said, "So, where are we going for afternoon tea. Don’t tell me that you're planning to serve me instant coffee in your office..."
Julie laughed and stood up.
"Let’s go. There's a cover shoot going on right now with a hot newbie in showbiz. I'll bring you over to have a look!"
Nicole was speechless as she thought,' How kind of you ..'
She laughed and inexplicably said, "If Clayton finds out, he's gonna settle the account with me."
Nicole said as she stood up.
Julie looked back at Nicole with a mysterious expression on her face.
“It's different this time. This person’s background is really mysterious. Do you know how he made his debut?"
Nicole shook her head.
Julie's eyes widened, and the corners of her lips curled up.
"He got the last place in the singing and dancing competition, but when an investor tried to make a private deal with him, he beat up the investor and happened to be photographed. After that, he became popular!”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Who’s so unlucky to be photographed when making this kind of private deal?”
Julie waved her hand. “That's not important. The key point is that this guy is different. He has a strange background and shoots to fame out of the blue. That’s why I'm taking you there to check him out.”
Nicole laughed and suddenly understood something.
"You want to check him out yourself, huh?”
Julie clicked her tongue.
"I plan to sign him on. Although Joseph Valencia is popular right now, his popularity will soon fade. That newbie is different. He'll be even more popular than Joseph!"
Hearing Julie's words, Nicole was also very curious.
The two women went to the location of the photoshoot.
