Chapter 468 Interest First

Once Clayton’s words fell, the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became silent.

The silence entwined with the light breeze, Nicole paused in her footsteps and looked at him quietly

Her eyes were slightly cold.

Clayton waited for a few seconds and did not get an answer, so he naturally did not let the situation

become awkward.

He chuckled and said, “You didn’t mishear me, and I won’t take back my words.”

His gaze was serious and frank. His tone was relaxed. ( “As I said before, I’m very happy for you t o

take me as your new love to deal with M r. Ferguson and the others. It’s not out of courtesy, Ms.

Stanton.

It’s more so my feelings for you… Clayton curled his lips into a decent smile that was not too humble

nor too arrogant. Nicole’s eyes flashed with a trace of Nicole’s eyes flashlight a trace of

incomprehension and bewilderment.

“Did this matter cause you to have some misunderstanding? I didn’t mean to…” “Of course, I know that

you won’t deliberately create trouble and hype about this. I just thought that it’s the right timing to bring

it up and thought that I had a chance to get in your favor.

Although I won’t use such forceful and eccentric ways as Mr. Ferguson did to pursue you, I am very

serious about my feelings for you.”

Looking at Clayton’s sincere eyes and frank face, Nicole froze for a moment.

She lifted her head slowly to look up at him. Under the streetlights, their shadows were stretched and

still. Clayton’s seriousness and humility suddenly made her feel a warmth in her heart.

If Nicole married Clayton, their evenly matched background would be a win-win situation.

Perhaps Clayton was someone that Eric could not stop. However, Nicole did not want to use

However, Nicole did t want to use herself as a trade for interests, nor did she want to use Clayton to

get Eric to give up on her.

That would be unfair to Clayton. Nicole was silent for a few seconds. Her heartfelt a little heavy, but her

face was calm as she spoke. “Mr. Sloan, thank you very much for your o )) “Ms. Stanton, don’t rush to

friendzone m e just yet.

I’m not in a hurry to get into a relationship. I just want you to know my intentions, that I’m going to

pursue you.”

1 Clayton held a faint smile in his eyes that seemed to reflect the millions of stars in the galaxy Nicole’s

heart trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She smiled courteously.

“Mr. Sloan, we’re both business people, so don’t let personal matters affect our partnership…” ‘Don’t

cancel our cooperation if I reject you! I’m out to earn big bucks!’ Clayton could not help but laugh with

some helplessness in his eyes.

“Of course. Interests come first.” Nicole agreed with this point of view.” Interest first!” The two of them

reached a consensus, and the pressure Nicole felt dissipated. SC In one night, she had friend-zoned

two men, but she did not feel good about it.

Back at the hotel. Nicole packed up and prepared to go back o Atlanta the next day. Floyd also agreed.

After all, if Floyd did not go back soon, all his fish would be eaten up by Kai. od The next morning. de

Lil Michael ran over in his pajamas. He looked so cute and tender that Nicole’s heart melted. Once he

heard that Nicole was leaving, he insisted on taking the same flight as her. No one could persuade him

otherwise.

Clayton had some urgent matters to tend to, so he had no choice but to leave Lil Michael with Nicole

and take a flight alone. Nicole was not sure if it was intentional. She did not see Clayton early in the

morning, but she was relieved.

After all, the man confessed his love to her so suddenly last night. If they met in the morning, it would

be a little awkward. а Eric arranged the flight because he wanted to go back together.

He had long been waiting in the hotel lobby. He was no longer in a wheelchair. He sat on the sofa with

a cane propped up next to him. His face was cold, and his aura was imposing and unapproachable.

Toto was trembling as he stood at the side, holding a husky. ‘What’s going on?’ Nicole nodded politely

at Eric with no extra emotion. Eric silently took his cane and struggled to stand up. He said in his usual

tone,’ Let’s go.” Toto greeted them. “Good morning, 26 Let’s go.” Toto greeted them. “Good morning,

Chairman Stanton and Ms. Stanton.

This is Young Master Ludwig’s dog that he asked to transport back to Atlanta. If you don’t feel

comfortable, we’ll leave it here.” )) The husky shook its head and stared blankly at Toto with its tongue

sticking out. It looked shocked as if it understood what Toto was saying.
