Nicole paused. She felt the warm air from the ground, but she could not see Clayton.
While she was dumbfounded, she heard a light snort and someone complained in a lazy voice, "You know how to come back, huh?"
It was Clayton's voice.
Perhaps he was already soaking in the hot spring.
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little guilty.
"Don't rush. I’ll be right there!"
Nicole thought of how much time she delayed, immediately went to change her clothes, and walked out barefoot.
When she was near the hot spring, she felt the steam coming from it, which warmed her whole body. Her pores seemed to be enlarged, and she felt very comfortable.
The floor had a log pattern and color, and the hot spring was surrounded by white gauze, which was very artistic.
Nicole walked over. The ground nearby was paved with cobblestone, each of which was crystal clear.
The warmth instantly rose from the soles of her feet when she stepped on them, further enlarging her pores.
The sound of the water dripping in the hot spring was very soothing, crisp, and pleasant to the ear.
Nicole walked over and did not expect the hot spring to be so big.
She could not even see Clayton in the fog
Nicole called out to him, but no one responded.
In the next second, a pair of hands suddenly hugged Nicole from behind.
It was Clayton.
He squeezed her waist, and he looked a little displeased.
"Were you just 'saying hello' to Julie? I thought you went out with her for supper!”
Nicole let down her guard and felt guilty. She turned around to see Clayton sitting there, looking so handsome in a white bathrobe. He was half-naked like he had just come out of a bath.
The lights were bright, and the hot spring was misty with plenty of petals sprinkled on the water’s surface. The fragrant steam made Nicole's body go soft in Clayton's arms.
Nicole put her arms around Clayton's shoulders and smiled.
"As you know, girlfriends can never finish talking!"
Clayton snorted coldly and could not understand her.
He pointed to the box next to him.
"Take a look >g-;VLS= see if there’s anything you like.”
Nicole looked over. “What is it? Essential oils?"
She glanced at the box. There were essential oils, supplements, and even contraception.
Nicole did not know if it was specially prepared for them, or if every guest had it as well.
Regardless, Nicole's ears unconsciously turned red.
This hot spring club prepared for everything.
Nicole pushed the box further away. "I don't need anything else. The petals are enough.”
She could smell that the petals were not ordinary flowers either. They were probably airlifted from abroad as this variety of flowers was not cultivated in Mediania.
Nicole did not expect the boss of this hot spring to go through all this trouble.
Clayton sat her down next to him. Although he was a little lustful, he wanted Nicole to relieve her fatigue.
Thus, they just chatted.
"Did Julie come with Third Brother?"
"No, she came with another person named Cheryl Lichman. You've probably met her before at the auction that day..."
Nicole chattered on and on. She liked talking, and Clayton did not find it annoying. He just listened very patiently.
"Oh, so her attitude toward you isn’t normal?"
Nicole nodded and shook her head again.
"I can't tell. My intuition may be wrong."
Clayton smiled and suddenly thought of something. Thus, he unintentionally asked, "Did Ms. Lichman attend Old Master Ferguson's funeral in the morning?"
Nicole shook her head. "I don’t know. I didn’t see her. Grant and I left in less than half an hour."
Clayton nodded thoughtfully.
