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. 1
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.”
