There was a faint smile in the man’s eyes.
Mitchell felt that Clayton was as sly as a fox. Clayton could see through everything but did not expose it.
Eric was certainly at a loss.
Mitchell felt sorry for his boss.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”
Clayton raised his eyebrows.
“Sure. I can’t walk too much, so I won’t send you off. By the way, if you want to send me a gift next time, remember to send it to my office!”
Mitchell was speechless and fled in despair.
Anyway, that gift was already off his hands.
After Mitchell left, Nicole came out of Grant’s office.
She opened the door happily and looked at the man inside with a smile.
“Let’s go?”
Clayton raised his eyebrows. “You managed to ask for some time off?”
Nicole nodded.
She asked for some time off and left as soon as she did. If Grant had not appreciated her hard work during this time, he would never let her go on vacation.
Clayton beckoned to her. “Come over and see if you like this.”
Nicole frowned slightly and walked over.
“What? Such a big diamond?”
She picked it up, looked at it, and put it back again.
“Who sent it over?”
“Mitchell. He said that Mr. Ferguson gave this to me to celebrate my return!”
Nicole’s heart sank slightly. She did not know what the hell Eric was doing giving a man a diamond.
However, she did not say anything. “Keep it aside and send it back to him when the Fergusons have a celebration.”
Clayton raised his eyebrows. He was very satisfied with this proposal.
“Okay, as you wish.”
After the two of them packed up, they went out.
Logan watched them leave and smiled.
“Have fun, President and Mr. Sloan!”
Nicole responded, and Clayton nodded. When Clayton passed by with his cane, he said, “Logan, thank you for your hard work.”
Logan saw that Nicole looked like a different person recently and was happy for them.
The cool breeze gently blew on her face. Even the air smelled sweet.
Nicole and Clayton got into the car. They were about to head to the beach when they received a call from Chatty.
“Daddy, I’m sick and can’t go to class. I wanna go home.”
Clayton’s expression suddenly became tense.
“You’re sick? Where do you feel discomfort? Did you tell the teacher?”
Chatty’s baby voice sounded so aggrieved.
“I feel uncomfortable everywhere. The teacher told me to hang on, but I just feel uncomfortable.”
Clayton’s heart suddenly clenched.
“Wait there. Daddy will pick you up right now!”
He hung up the phone and looked at Nicole worriedly.
Nicole looked at him calmly and smiled. She raised her eyes slightly, and a few strands of hair fell on her fair and tender skin. She looked so pretty and elegant.
Why did Nicole look so calm?
Clayton pursed his lips and coughed.
“You heard it, right? Our baby girl is suffering. Shall we pick her up to see a doctor?”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Okay.”
Clayton still did not understand that it was Chatty’s new tactic to get out of school. Chatty liked to go to school, but she got bored after a while and wanted to leave school to play.
Thus, Chatty would come up with all kinds of reasons.
Ever since Chatty skipped school, the school increased that security, so there was no chance for Chatty and Fischer to escape again.
Clayton pursed his lips and glanced at the driver, who immediately started the car engine.
“Why are you not worried at all?”
Clayton squeezed her hand and asked in surprise.
Nicole looked at him and smiled meaningfully.
“I hope you’re mentally prepared that our date is over.”
