At that moment, Eric Ferguson panicked.
They clearly did not know each other before this, so why would Clayton Sloan look at Nicole differently?
Why would Clayton Sloan give away such a big project so simply?
Eric was not heartbroken about the lost project. Ferguson Corporation had various businesses stretching to all walks of life. Although this project was big, it was just a drop in the bucket.
He would rather forgo this cooperation than hear about Clayton's interest in Nicole!
Nicole was also a little bewildered and felt like she was in a dream.
On closer look, Clayton did not seem like he was joking at all!
Why?
Nicole had a million questions in her mind.
However, she still looked calm and composed and did not have any drastic reaction.
'Is it because of Lil Michael?'
Clayton briefly said a few words to conclude the dinner, so everyone got up and left the hall.
This dinner came to a simple and shocking end.
The only guests left were Nicole and Eric.
Nicole wanted to clarify the situation, while Eric had n o intention of leaving Nicole behind with Clayton.
Clayton looked at the two people and chuckled.
"Well, Ms. Stanton, I'm sure you must have a lot of questions. What I said about the project isn't just talk. I'll have someone touch base with Stanton Corporation for the follow-up."
"I don't understand, why did you choose Stanton Corporation?"
Nicole asked directly. The people she sent to contact Clayton beforehand all came back empty-handed, so why did he agree to it so suddenly?
Clayton paused for a moment as he pondered slightly.
"I didn't choose Stanton Corporation. I choose you."
Clayton looked at her with undisguised appreciation and gentleness.
That kind of tenderness was not mixed with any motives or interest. It was very pure.
Nicole was stunned. "Because I picked up Lil Michael from the amusement park?"
