The environment here was special, and the conditions were harsh, so there was not even a wheelchair.
Nicole sprained her ankle and could only stand with crutches, but there were no crutches around.
Ian very considerately found her a small wooden stick and proudly walked two circles around her with it.
"It's just right for you. I really am a great craftsman! It's not too late for you to change your boyfriend!"
Clayton raised his brows. 'Ian actually dares to seduce Nicole in front of me?’
Nicole snorted coldly. “Don't insult the real great craftsmen. I'll use this to beat you to death!"
The stick was thinner than her arm. If Nicole really used it, then she would end up breaking her other foot as well.
Ian pouted. "You can’t even walk but you still want to beat me?"
To the side, Julie, who was watching Ian dig his own grave, said nothing.
Clayton spoke calmly. "Her boyfriend can do it for her."
Ian paused and laughed in anger. Then, he lifted his feet and went out. 'So what if he was her boyfriend? Clayton cut in line to get here!'
Nicole turned her head and looked at Clayton. "Do you have a grudge against him?"
Clayton stood there, solemnly loosening his collar. "He was trying to seduce you."
Nicole could not help but smile, and Julie also could not hold back her laughter.
"Mr. Sloan, your vigilance towards the same gender is too high. What Carter did isn’t called seduction, it's called courting death!"
Nicole nodded. After all, Ian was not remotely an option on her list of potential partners.
Ian was the same as Julie and Yvette. They were all best friends for life.
Clayton sighed in relief. His eyebrows twitched slightly as he leaned over to her.
"I know, but if he succeeds, what's left for me?"
His tone had pride that could not be concealed.
Nicole looked at the smile reflected in his eyes and was momentarily stunned. She was almost bewitched by him.
How did she never notice before that Clayton's smile could make her mind go blank?
Julie clicked her tongue, and the ambiguous atmosphere between the two was swept away. Clayton retreated a safe distance away while Nicole's face burned.
