“It’s because you haven’t had anything to drink for too long...”Nicole put the water back and felt some heartache when she looked at Clayton’s thin face.“My dad asked the butler to prepare a nutritious meal for you. The doctor said that you’ll have another examination tomorrow. If there’s no problem, then you can eat normally. If you have something you want to eat, feel free to tell me.”Nicole paused before suddenly remembering something. “I haven’t talked to your subordinates yet. Do you want to call them and arrange your company affairs first?”Although Clayton’s roots here were not deep, everything that was needed was here. His capital was strong, and Atlanta’s business circle gained an additional bigwig like Clayton overnight.No one dared to underestimate him.Clayton frowned. “No need. Roland will take care of everything.”Nicole raised her brows at how capable his assistant was. “Do you trust him that much?”Clayton laughed. “I only disappeared for a few days. If the

Without waiting for Clayton to say anything, Nicole muttered, “Why aren’t you tired yet? I’m already sleepy!”Clayton could not help but laugh. How could he bear to sleep so easily?After a second’s pause, he moved to the side and made some space on the bed.“Come up and sleep.”Nicole frowned. “No.”Clayton pulled her arm and coaxed her gently. “Just rest for a while. You can go after I fall asleep later…”Nicole pouted. He did not look like he had any intention of sleeping.Seeing Clayton’s stubborn look, she slowly climbed up and lay on her side.Fortunately, the bed was soft and spacious. Otherwise, there would be no room for two people.Nicole’s sleepiness came flooding in as soon as she touched the pillow.However, she did not forget that she was here to wait for him to sleep.She tried to keep her eyes open. “Let me know when you want to fall asleep.”Clayton smiled and patted her shoulder. “Okay. Close your eyes and have a rest first. I’ll tell you when I want to sl

Yvette opened her mouth but could not refute.She was in the wrong for this matter.Nicole helped her out from the side.“Wouldn’t it be bad if she I told you and you told everyone? Of course, we can’t tell you!”Ian sat there with red eyes and looked at Nicole.“How could I have told everyone? Your safety was at stake, and you were in danger. I should’ve been the first to go and save you!”Seeing that Ian was actually about to cry, Nicole was slightly stunned and looked over in amazement.Clayton, who was sitting on the hospital bed watching all this, was a little annoyed.However, Clayton smiled, and his voice was still gentle.“Second Young Master Carter, if you knew about it, you would’ve gotten desperate trying to find Nicole. Wouldn’t Mr. Stanton’s plan be ruined then?”Ian was immediately a little satisfied at having his mind read.However, he could not say anything to refute.Yes, if it were him, he would have found a way to throw himself into the net and send his o

Logan smiled. “President, I’m being sincere...”He went over and opened the back door of the car as he spoke. Nicole bent down and got in. She froze for a moment when she saw Luca inside.Luca nodded slightly.Logan got in the car and explained. “It was Mr. Stanton’s orders. Luca must be present for any public occasion you attend. Although there are many people following in private, if Luca stands there, it’ll at least make people dispel some of their ideas.”Nicole thought about it. It did make sense.Sure, she had no problems with it.Instead, she felt more secure with Luca around.After all, she had just escaped from death. If she was unlucky enough to encounter something again, she should start going to church for worship.The launch was unique. There was no solemn event. Instead, it was more like an afternoon tea networking banquet.“Mr. Stanton has arranged everything, and the cooperation is almost finalized. Today is the signing of the contract, but the other party is n

Why was Mitchell here?Mitchell looked straight at Nicole, who was behind Logan. When he came back to his senses, he stammered.“Ms. Stanton, you...”Mitchell thought, ‘Eric thought you were dead!’Logan did not give Mitchell the chance to speak, lest the guests around noticed that something was wrong.“Mitchell, Ms. Stanton and Mr. Wilheim still have some business to discuss. This way, please...”Nicole stood on the side, tilting her head every now and then to say a few words to Mr. Wilheim.She could tell that after Mr. Wilheim stopped painting, he did not know anything about doing business.Mr. Wilheim usually thought that it was easy to make money. Each of his paintings could sell for a sky-high price, and he felt that art was priceless, so he did not hesitate when naming his prices.Of course, it was both luck and skill that the public sought after his work like crazy.However, now, Mr. Wilheim’s father was gradually aging, and there was no one to inherit the huge compan
