You Have No Chance
However, before Nicole could react, Clayton already let go of her hand as if nothing happened. He
politely nodded to the people inside and then turned to leave with a smile in his eyes.
His back was frank and warm, with not the slightest trace of the small action he just did.
Nicole secretly clicked her tongue at him and turned around.
As soon as she did, she saw Yvette and Julie smiling at her meaningfully.
Julie smiled. “Mr. Sloan moves very quickly. You two are so sweet to each other now. Is the next step
discussing marriage?”
Nicole gave her a chastising glare.
“What are you thinking? We should be thinking about Yvette’s matters now. You’re focusing on the wrong
point!”
Yvette could not help but smile. “Your ability to change the topic has improved. Nicole, are you planning
on pursuing love instead of your career?”
Nicole opened her mouth seriously.
“Those aren’t mutually exclusive of course, I’m career-oriented. Love is just icing on the cake!”
“Love rat!” The two of them spoke in unison.
Nicole touched her nose.
After Yvette finished her meal, Julie received an emergency call from her company. It seemed like
something happened.
“Yvette, I have to go to the office so I can’t accompany you. You should be discharged after you finish
eating. Why don’t I send you back?”
Yvette’s eyes flashed. “I can’t be discharged. I still have to let my mom see how pitiful I am. Otherwise,
she’ll kill me
later.”
Julie looked at her helplessly and spoke to Nicole.
“You watch her then? I’ll go now.”
Nicole nodded, indicating that there was n o problem.
As soon as Julie left, Grant arrived.
Nicole sent him a text early to tell him that Yvette was fine and asked him to come to visit when he had
the time.
She knew that the reason why Yvette was not discharged was that she was waiting for him.
It was like she was stubbornly wanting a result.
Grant knocked on the door and came in.
Yvette’s eyes lit up, but instantly dimmed when she saw the person who came in after Grant.
Nicole also stood up, smiling naturally.“ Big Brother, Aida, you’re here.”
She did not expect Grant to bring Aida, but she could not act strangely.
Grant nodded, his expression as cold as ever.
He looked at Yvette. “How are you, Ms. Quimbey?”
Yvette’s expression seemed a bit tense, not knowing whether to rejoice or be sad.
The corners of her mouth pulled and she lowered her head, saying in a weak voice, “I’m much better.”
Nicole could see the disappointment Yvette was concealing.
