No Family Members
Nicole raised her eyes. ”He drove himself. He’ll definitely follow me. Don’t worry.”
Clayton nodded and got in the car, then sent Nicole back t o Stanton Corporation.
When Nicole went upstairs, she just so happened to meet Aida who was coming downstairs.
She narrowed her eyes and teased.
”Aida? Are you here to bring food to my brother?” Aida did not expect to run into Nicole and smiled.
”I didn’t have anything to do today, so I cooked with my friend and let him try it.”
Nicole smiled. “Then my brother must’ve licked the plate clean…”
Aida looked at her with embarrassment and was about to speak when a familiar voice suddenly
sounded from the phone in her hand.
”Lil N, come up and put together the minutes for this morning’s meeting…”
It was Grant’s voice.
Nicole’s expression stiffened. ”You guys were on the phone?” Aida nodded with a smile.
The corners of Nicole’s mouth pulled. ’Oh, Grant heard everything.’ Aida patted her shoulder. ”Take
care…”
Then, Aida smiled and walked away.
Nicole froze on the spot. Her sister-in-law seemed to have changed for the worse. She dawdled
upstairs and was just about to scamper off to her office when she was stopped by Grant, who was
standing there waiting for her. “Lil N… Why are you running so fast?”
Nicole paused. “Oh, I remembered that I still have a lot of work to do…” Grant smiled as his expression
turned cold.
“The project in Sand City is going well, but news just came i n that a problem popped up with a batch of
materials. We’ll need someone to go there and take a look…” Nicole raised her brows and looked at
Grant with a flashing gaze.
“I’ll go!”
Grant handed her the file in his hand.
“We just got the news. You can go, but pay attention to your safety. I have to go to France in the
afternoon. There’s something wrong with the account books there, so I have t o go have a look
personally.” Nicole nodded. The account books were much more important than building materials.
There were too many things that could go wrong. Grant handed the simplest problem to her. Nicole
took a deep breath. She had to get things done.
“Don’t worry, there won’t be a problem. I’ll contact you.” Grant nodded and pinched her little face. “If
there’s a problem, then find me. If there’s danger, come back immediately. I’ll take care of things in
France as soon as possible and rush back to help you.”
Grant was still worried about the movements in the Sloan family, so he did not feel comfortable with
letting Nicole go abroad alone. Otherwise, he would have let Nicole check the accounts since she loved
to wander around.
Nicole smiled.
“Don’t worry about me and go. Have you booked your flight?” Grant nodded.
“Take Luca and Logan with you when you leave. Bring whoever else you want, including a few more
bodyguards. Also, if Jacob Cook isn’t useful on the project, just have him replaced.” What Grant
thought out for her was the most straightforward method. There was no need to worry about anything.
Nicole raised her brows. “Okay, Big Brother. I’ll go back and pack my things.” Then, she ran into her
office.
Logan was just about to follow her when Grant frowned and called out to him. “In the future, don’t let
her run around in high heels…” Logan was speechless. His job as an assistant really consisted of
every little detail!
After giving a solemn assurance, Logan hurried over to pack Nicole’s stuff.
Nicole sat on the sofa on the phone. It sounded like Clayton. “Yea h, I’m leaving in the afternoon. We’ll
only be able to meet after a few days. Soon, we’ll be entering a period of long-distance relationship!”
