Tranquil Apprehension
Floyd was not in the mood to stand up and bid farewell to Isaac pleasantly. He sat there. His eyes were
deep in thought, but no one knew what he was thinking about.
Eric looked at him with a sullen and cold face.
“Chairman Stanton, I asked Isaac to come over and tell you everything for Nicole’s sake. As far as I
know, Clayton used his power to wipe out his past. It can’t be investigated even if you tried…”
Floyd raised his eyes and looked at Eric. His voice was rough.
“Thank you, Mr. Ferguson, but today is a special day, so I can’t stay here for long since I still have to
greet the guests. You should go out too…”
Eric’s face sank. Floyd’s reaction was a little too calm. It was not quite right.
He could feel it, but he could not say it.
However, Eric quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded while standing up.
“Farewell.”
Floyd sat in the lounge for a long while before he slowly stood up and walked out. It was hard to tell from
his face, but he was forcing himself to act normally.
Isaac’s words could not be trusted, but he could not take thern for lies either.
In the end, what was the truth? Why did Clayton want to hide his past?
All these were like thorns in Floyd’s heart.
Nicole might not care, but as a father, he had to care!
Almost everyone outside was present, and Nicole and Clayton were basically inseparable.
However, no one suspected their relationship. After all, they looked like the most professional people
there were, s o how could they have personal feelings?
After a round of toasts, Nicole was really tired.
She put down her glass and went to the rest area where people came and went. Although her high heels
were very stable, they still made people watch with trepidation.
When she stepped on her dress for the third time, Clayton finally could not resist leaning over to pick up
the hem of her dress and block the people who were bumping into her.
Nicole subconsciously looked back. Clayton’s handsome face was right in front of her as he carefully
held her skirt. There was a slight frown on his face as if h e was very helpless.
Nicole’s heart moved slightly as a warm current surged inside her.
She smiled and looked back without saying anything
The venue was large, and the rest area was on the other side.
When she arrived with Clayton, Aida was there joking with her friends.
They quickly greeted Nicole and told her t o sit down when they saw her.
Aida poured her a glass of juice and smiled gently.
“You must be tired. I saw those people got o you after they failed to pester your big brother, so I knew
that you’d be the
brother, so I knew ou’d be the busiest person out there!
Nicole laughed. “Isn’t it because you were protecting my big brother? How else would they come looking
for me?”
