Nicole thought that she had caused Clayton a lot of trouble by being hospitalized.
She was disappointed, but also confused and uncertain about their future.
Malcolm was stunned by her words.
He did not expect this to happen.
He was speechless for a moment and did not know how to react.
Fortunately, Nicole did not give him time to react and hung up the phone.
Clayton came and left again.
Nicole took a deep breath. She planned to go back to the apartment to change her clothes and check on the children before going to the office.
Thanks to the side effects of alcohol, Nicole slept really soundly that night.
When she got to the apartment, the children’s room was empty.
Mrs. Zoe was also gone.
She pursed her lips and thought, ‘Maybe Mrs. Zoe took the children out for a walk…’
Everything was fine as long as the children did not sneak out.
Nicole called Mrs. Zoe, who answered quickly, “Madam, are you back?”
“Yeah, you took the kids out?”
“Yes. Chatty had a nightmare and wanted to see her dad early in the morning, so she insisted on going to the French restaurant. I had no other choice but to bring Chatty and Fischer there. Fortunately, Mr. Sloan is really here.”
Mrs. Zoe reported everything to Nicole in detail.
However, Nicole’s focus was only on Clayton.
She tightened her grip on her phone and smiled nonchalantly.
“Okay. Please take good care of them.”
“I will.”
After saying a few words, Nicole hung up the phone.
She stood there quietly for a while before she went to wash up in the bathroom.
Although Nicole did not wash up last night, she felt refreshed. Even so, she could not bear to go to the office without changing her clothes.
Nicole slowly took a bath and did a face mask. She touched the protruding scar on her arm and suddenly thought of something.
It had not been a long time since she cut herself, so the scar was more obvious. The light red marks seemed to be particularly obvious against her fair and tender skin.
Nicole gritted her teeth. Her gaze darkened.
She picked up the phone and called a familiar beauty salon.
“Do you have any scar removal services? I want something that is most effective and least time-consuming.”
......
Clayton came back, and Nicole was not sure if her scars would be seen.
She suddenly panicked because her family would be terribly worried if they found out.
Back when she hurt herself, she did not think of dying. She just wanted to use the pain to stimulate her numbness.
She wanted to replace the heaviness in her heart with the pain in her body.
Strange enough, this pain was addictive.
That was why she repeatedly cut herself.
However, she quickly stopped herself when she realized something was wrong.
Her life had to go back to normal no matter what, even if it was only superficial.
Since it was the weekend, there was nothing much to do, and Nicole did not want to go to the office.
She was dispirited because she lost hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for the company’s good reputation.
Nicole knew that the money could not be recovered, but in the long run, the losses from this promotion alone would not affect the profitability of the entire corporation.
Thus, she was not worried. She only warned the department director and did not pursue their responsibility.
The problem was resolved.
However, there was another event today.
