As soon as Clayton said this, everyone's shocked eyes gathered on him.
Even Nicole did not expect that Clayton would be going because she only invited Lil Michael last night.
Eric's face became extremely glum as he glared at Clayton with a deep and complex gaze.
'Clayton Sloan's not so dull-witted to not understand m y look, right?! What is he up to?' Eric thought.
Floyd froze for a moment but quickly regained his usual smile.
"Great! The more the merrier! It makes sense for Mr. Sloan to be worried about Lil Michael. Mr. Ferguson, shall we head out then?"
Eric smiled faintly. "Sure."
Toto was dumbstruck and speechless as he stood on the side. He planned this trip deliberately to create opportunities for Nicole and Eric. With Floyd, it could b e called a family trip, but what did it mean if Clayton and Lil Michael tagged along?
Would it be an intercompany team-building trip?!
Eric's eyes shifted to Nicole. His cold gaze turned gentle as he curled his lips into a soft arc.
"Let's go and relax for a few days."
Nicole met his gaze and smiled. "Mr. Ferguson, thanks for being so thoughtful...”
Even though they did not end on a good note last night and had a tense relationship, they could act calm as if nothing happened when they saw each other the next day.
Toto pushed Eric’s wheelchair with a deep frown on his face. 'This isn’t what I planned!'
The helicopter was parked on the lawn not far away. Luca helped Floyd up. Clayton strode in by himself, leaving Lil Michael struggling to climb up behind him. The boy turned back to check on his pretty lady.
Nicole fell behind as she was messaging Logan. When she was done, she saw Toto supporting Eric with difficulty.
She frowned and took a step forward to support Eric’s arm on the other side.
Eric was stunned for a moment and looked at her with delight in his eyes.
