Nicole’s face froze slightly.
She stared into space for a moment and smiled.
“I guess I should take the initiative first, huh?”
What if Clayton was really ill or had amnesia? Nicole would have misunderstood him.
Now that he was back, Nicole would take care of him in every possible way as he took care of her back then.
Julie nodded and held her hand.
“You should take your time. If possible, bring him back first.”
“Yeah, I’ll see how it goes.”
Nicole smiled and thought about the back view of the two people leaning on each other while walking out of the hospital. That image made her feel uncomfortable.
She wanted to figure out their relationship first.
After a short chat, the two ladies went upstairs to rest.
For several days, Nicole went back and forth between the office and the hospital.
Grant did not go to the office at all. If there was something urgent, they had to call him. Otherwise, he did not want to be disturbed.
Thus, Nicole was withheld by the subordinates and had no choice but to work hard at the office.
Although Nicole had no time to go to the French restaurant to look for Clayton, she did not forget about him.
She asked Hamilton to order food from the restaurant and have it delivered to her office.
It was a one-person portion.
Hamilton complained about it to Logan in private and wondered why Nicole wanted to eat alone and did not want to order an extra portion for them.
After all, Hamilton was disgusted by a fly the last time he ate there.
Now that he thought about it, he was not certain whether there was a fly in his food.
That was because Nicole ate food from that restaurant every day. She did not find fault with them like last time.
Hamilton found this a bit confusing.
Logan told him solemnly.
“We are assistants, so why does the president have to treat us to dinner every day? You should realign your thoughts. If you want to eat it, go to the restaurant and buy yourself a meal.”
Hamilton scratched his head. “But I’ll need to make a reservation!”
Nicole was special. She had a VIP membership, so she just needed to say her name to order a meal.
More importantly, the restaurant did not do food delivery initially, but they made an exception for Nicole and delivered it to Stanton Corporation.
But why did they make an exception for Nicole?
Hamilton pursed his lips. Logan did not want to continue talking, so he turned around and found a reason to leave.
Nicole looked at the familiar dishes and was in a daze for a moment.
The meal was placed in an incubator, so the temperature of the food did not change much when she took it out. However, she was staring at it for so long that it got a little cold.
She had no intention of eating.
Hot tears welled up in her eyes.
Nicole was sure that the chef was Clayton because the plating was his style.
She took a deep breath, rubbed her eyes, stood up, and went out the door.
Logan was a little surprised to see her.
“President, are you leaving?”
Nicole nodded. “Pack up the things inside.”
“Don’t forget that there’s a meet and greet in the afternoon at the Times Building.”
Logan reminded her.
Nicole nodded and walked straight to the elevator.
She knew where Clayton was, but she did not go to him because it made her feel uneasy.
Nicole went to the underground parking and drove out to the French restaurant.
On the way there, there was traffic because it was after lunch.
Nicole was a little annoyed, but she knew it was pointless to be anxious.
She suddenly thought of something.
She found Roland’s phone number and called him.
Roland answered her call quickly.
