Livia was very clear about her feelings. She liked Nathaniel, who was a year younger than her, yet he
was very thoughtful and reliable.
Thus, Livia listened to her heart and did not play hard to get She did not regret being together with
Nathaniel.
This impulse and enthusiasm would definitely last a lifetime.
It was the best thing Livia had done in her life.
As soon as Livia and Nathaniel looked at each other, Nicole knew that Keith was out of luck.
No matter how hard Keith tried, he could not beat Nathaniel and Livia’s momentary glance at each
other, with sparks flying and such profound love.
Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled, then reached out and applauded.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful! I hope that you both will always be this happy!”
They could only feel the blazing love because they rushed into a relationship.
Once the passion faded and faced with other gossip or trivial difficulties, perhaps their love might even
be deeper and lasted longer.
Nicole believed that they would.
The couple held hands, which was particularly piercing to the eyes of a lonely woman. Nicole did not
want to stay there any longer, so she smiled, found an excuse, and left with Clayton.
When she just got out the door and before she went into the car, she heard someone calling out from
behind her. Nicole turned her head and saw Livia.
Livia trotted over as she carried her skirt and looked at Nicole with a smile. “I have something I’d like to
talk to you about in private.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. ’Did Livia take that *sshole Keith’s words seriously just now? Do I have to
explain that Nathaniel and I didn’t have a past? But the more I explain, the more obvious it’ll be, won’t
it?’ Just as Nicole was in a tangle, Clayton walked over and said, “Why don’t you ladies talk in the car?
There are a lot of people here.” Nicole nodded. This was indeed the best.
The driver had the good sense to wait outside about ten meters away. Only the two ladies were left in
the car.
Nicole hesitantly spoke, “Actually, I really have nothing going on with Nathaniel…”
Livia chuckled. “I know, he told me a long time ago.”
Nicole froze, then curved the corners of her lips. ’They couId’ve told me earlier…’ “He said that he used
to like you,” Livia said very naturally.
Nicole was shocked and could not bring herself to smile. ’Is Nathaniel sick in the head?’ Livia noticed
Nicole’s discomfort and saw that Nicole looked like she was about to get angry, so Livia patted Nicole’s
hand and comforted her.
“I know it’s his unrequited love. You’re gentle, beautiful, and good-tempered with a good background
and high ability, so who won’t like you? If I were a man, I’d also like you!” Nicole suddenly did not know
what to say. “Then what do you want to say to me?” Livia answered, “I plan to expand the staff. So far,
I’m the only one in our law firm, and it’s already getting too busy.
If there are professionals to help out, I think that we can achieve more with half the effort!”
Nicole smiled and sighed in relief. ’Turns out she wants to talk about business!’
“No problem, you can just make the call on these things!”
Livia shook her head. “You’re an investor. Besides, you have experience, so your opinion is important. I
can only be assured to execute it if you agree.” Nicole laughed. “Okay, I strongly agree.”
To Nicole, this was only some insignificant amount of money. However, to Livia, it was a career worth
fighting for her whole life! Livia reported some more of her ideas seriously, and Nicole expressed her
opinion earnestly.
Finally, the two of them hit it off, and Livia returned to the hotel happily. The driver got into the car and
asked, “Miss, shall we go home?” Nicole was just about to open her mouth when the car door next to
her opened again. Clayton came up and looked at her with a smile.
“Do you mind if I hitch a ride?”
Nicole smiled. “Of course, I don’t mind.”
She then instructed the driver, “Take Mr. Sloan back to the Hilton first.” Clayton said, “Take me to The
Grand Manor.”
Nicole was surprised. The Grand Manor was a luxury neighborhood with individual villas. Every inch of
land was like gold. It was on par with Imperial Gardens where Eric lives.
