Clayton suddenly stood up. His face was glum from holding back. He did not lose his temper over such a trivial matter due to his good upbringing.“It’s fine. I’ll go to the washroom.”Clayton looked at Nicole as he spoke.Nicole nodded, and Clayton strode away with his long legs.Ava stood there guiltily. “I was too careless. How could I be so stupid? Nicole, your boyfriend won’t be mad at me, right?”Nicole slowly took a sip of the red wine. “He won’t.”‘He’ll just hate you.’Ava sat back in her seat, nervous and worried.“No, I have to go check if he needs help or not. Nicole, wait here…”Nicole raised her brows. Her smile deepened. “Sure…”She seemed to understand who Ava came here for.After a while, the waiter came up, blushing and hesitating to speak.“Ms. Stanton, I think your friend is being pestered by that woman. Are you sure you don’t want to go and have a look?”Nicole paused. Then, she stood up while holding the glass of wine.“Thank you. I’ll go look.”Even

This was not a joke. If someone like Nicole did this, there were plenty of people who would take the rap for her. However, Ava’s whole life would be completely ruined!Ava looked at Clayton, who was standing to the side, for help.However, Clayton’s face was indifferent. He did not want to care at all and even had an indulgent attitude.Clayton was a gentleman, so he could not do anything to a woman. If not, this woman would already be leaving with a black and blue face.Seeing Nicole threaten Ava unscrupulously, Clayton felt very satisfied.Ava gritted her teeth. She had to save herself.“Cyndro International…”Ava was about to cry in fear.Nicole paused and narrowed her eyes coldly.“Eric Ferguson?”“N-No, I’m Mr. Ferguson’s subordinate, but he didn’t tell me to come. I’m from Cyndro International…”Ava wanted to continue explaining, but Nicole no longer had the patience to listen to her.Nicole grabbed Ava by the collar and walked back without regard for Ava’s image.Av

After Eric finished asking, he felt a dull ache in his heart in addition to the anger.‘Just because of one mistake I made in the past, anyone who did something wrong is now related to me? Why should I take the blame?’ Eric thought.Nicole looked at him calmly. “This was something your subordinate did. Do you think that anyone will believe you if you say that you didn’t order it?”Unless this woman was too eager to please Eric.To them, unconditional trust was something that did not exist.Nicole believed in Eric once and was hurt for three years. Thus, she did not dare to believe in him any longer.Eric’s eyes were faintly dancing with flames, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He was furious.However, when he was facing her, he still had to calm his emotions as much as possible.His Adam’s apple bobbed. His voice was low and hoarse.“Fine, then let me tell you seriously. It’s not me. This has nothing to do with me!”Eric begged her not to look at him with those eyes. It

Although the matter was not completely settled, Nicole was still relieved.Clayton’s smile deepened as his eyes grew warm and soft.“Alright, I’ll take it slow.”In any case, his opponent was gone, and he was the only contender left, so he naturally had enough patience to take his time.The song was melodious.Nicole relaxed a lot along the way.At Yvette’s office lobby, Clayton swiftly got out of the car and bowed like a gentleman before Nicole could open the door.Nicole laughed and walked out, playing along.Clayton’s eyes flickered. “Do you want me to pick you up?”He had already adapted to the role of her boyfriend.It felt pretty good.Nicole pursed her lips as her face turned a little red. “No, we won’t be done so soon.”Clayton raised his brows and nodded. He looked up and then glanced away regretfully.“Although I want to meet your friends as your boyfriend, it’s not the right time yet. Goodbye.”Nicole waved. “Bye.”She did not expect this to happen after a mea

Eric’s dark eyes were sunken and cold, and there was a faintly suppressed indifference jumping inside.“Forget about it? It took me so much effort for Nicole to improve her attitude toward me, but that woman stirred up some sh*t and made me lose everything! You want me to forget about it?!”Eric could not suppress his emotions, so even his words had become impolite.‘What a nosy smart*ss! She’s completely useless! This was the candidate recommended as the President of Cyndro International’s Asian region?’ Eric sneered. His eyes were cold and shady as he looked at Asher.“What benefits did she give you for you to speak up for her so much? A brainless woman like that still wants to take charge of the Asian region? I didn’t let you sit in the position of Vice President of Cyndro International just to allow you to put your lover in a key position!”At those words, the office instantly fell silent.Asher’s face changed.No one knew about Asher’s relationship with Ava.Externally, th
