Nicole changed into a long black dress. She looked noble and aloof. The high heels were also her favorite brand and style. She let out a sigh of relief and remembered what just happened.
She picked up the phone and called Luca. "Tell Ivy Harrison to come up."
Luca responded, "Yes, Miss.”
Nicole took a deep breath. As soon as she came out of the room, she saw Kai's assistant, Demi, waiting at the door.
"Ms. Stanton, Kai was worried about you being alone and asked me to follow you around tonight."
Nicole agreed since she was short of staff anyway.
She smiled. "Great! Wait here for Ms. Harrison, I'll come up later. I have something to say to her.”
Demi nodded. "Don't worry, Ms. Stanton.”
"It's almost time, so I'll go downstairs first.”
Nicole smiled faintly and went downstairs. She was not someone who would put up with unreasonable people.
The lighting arrangements were ready in the theater hall. There was only one seat left in the front row, which was between Eric and Clayton.
Nicole paused in her footsteps. 'Great, what a suffocating seating arrangement.’
During Nicole's hesitation, Clayton spotted her and waved at her, so Nicole walked over naturally and sat down.
Eric's gaze was unchanged, nor did he greet her gently as he usually did. He seemed like he was still angry at what happened earlier.
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. 'Awesome!'
Clayton smiled and spoke in a low voice, "Kai has a really strong appeal. The whole audience came for him."
Nicole was very happy to hear someone praising her brother, but she was still modest.
"My brother is just good-looking, acts well, and has a nice personality."
The corners of Clayton's lips stiffened, then he nodded approvingly as his smile deepened.
Eric, who was on the other side of Nicole, did not speak. His face just became increasingly glum.
The last scene of the act ended.
An assistant handed over three cups of coffee.
