Not Going Back
Nicole coughed. “Harvey, it’s a great opportunity for you to be able to work with Naomi this time. You
should know that Naomi doesn’t usually accept magazine covers. You have to learn more from her…”
Harvey nodded.
”Yes, I will.” The meal was quite harmonious, but the most uncomfortable person was probably Harvey.
Naomi threw a sideline topic from time to time that he could not catch, shocking him. Nicole could only
help him out from the side and divert the topic.
After dinner, Nicole sent Naomi back to her room. Nicole originally wanted to stay with Naomi since
there was so much to talk about. However, Naomi refused very solemnly. ”It’ll be easy for people to
misunderstand if two women stay together.
My persona doesn’t include coming out of the closet!” Nicole said, ”Won’t people understand if a man
and woman stay together as well?” ’Why is she so abnormal?’ Nicole thought. However, Naomi insisted
Nicole book another room for her. Back in the room, Nicole received a call from Clayton. “Is Lil Michael
okay? Did he get into trouble?” Clayton chuckled. “Would I have needed to go to his school if he wasn’t
in trouble?” “It’s normal for kids to be naughty…”
Nicole looked at the flames at the fireplace and compared it with the sprinkling snow outside. It felt very
comfortable. Clayton said, “Normal ? At least, I’ve never heard of a child younger than eight years old
blowing up his school!” Nicole’s eyes widened in shock.
“He blew up his school?!” Lil Michael? Clayton’s tone was tinged with restrained anger. “He collected
chemicals and materials in the school and insisted on doing experiments with his classmates. He also
tried to study the structure of the walls. As a result, he blew a hole in the laboratory’s wall and two
rooms collapsed!” Nicole was so shocked that she could not say anything.
“Then… Was anyone hurt?” Clayton gritted his teeth. “No. He asked everyone to leave the lab before
that and even called the principal over. The whole school gathered around him to see his
experiment…” Nicole instantly felt that she could not imagine that scene.
’ Lil Michael, in full view of everyone, blew up the room?’ “That’s…” Clayton took a deep breath. “I just
went there to talk about the compensation.
I had to promise to refurbish the lab and donate a library before the principal agreed to let Michael
continue his studies there.” Nicole nodded. This school was already expensive with annual tuition of
8800,000.
The building facilities were generally paid for by parents. For their children to get a good education,
people would not care about the money used for a new building. However, Lil Michael made a bit of a
mess, so Clayton had to fork out a lot of money to settle things down.
What a worrisome child! “It’s good that nothing dangerous happened. Spending money to solve the
problem is the best way. Forget it. Compared to those gifts he gave me, this amount is nothing…” After
all, according to Lil Michael’s character, taking out a handful of diamonds and gold collectibles was
already considered very restrained. Clayton could not help but smile.
“You’re very open- minded.” “It’s good enough that nothing happened. It’s fine. Is he still at school? Did
you pick him up and comfort him?” Nicole thought that this incident would scale Michael. After all,
Mediania did not have the same academic atmosphere as Liberty. If this happened in Liberty, his action
might have been regarded as being pragmatic.
However, in Mediania, it just meant that he had itchy hands that had to be beaten to get better. Clayton
laughed in anger. “Comfort him?! He refused to come back with me, so he’s staying in the hotel with
the maid and bodyguard now…”
