Start the Timer
Clayton said, “You’ve already talked enough for the both of us, so what else can I say?”
Roland replied, “Tsk… Look at the way you put it. It’ll be boring for me to talk alone!”
Clayton looked at him. “You don’t have a girlfriend, right?”
“Of course not! I’ve given all my youth to you and the company!”
Roland immediately expressed his loyalty
Clayton looked at the time. “I’ll give you three days off. Go get yourself a girlfriend.”
Roland was so happy that he was glowing. “Really?! No, wait… How can I get a girlfriend in three days?
Isn’t it too little?”
“Then you can quit your job…”
Roland’s smile instantly faded. “Three days is really quite a lot. Everything’s based on effort anyway. I’ll
be able to get a girlfriend. Don’t worry, Mr. Sloan!.
Clayton looked at him with a smile. “Your time off starts now…”
Roland froze, immediately dropped the things in his hands, took his things, and ran out.
“Goodbye, Boss!”
After Roland left the place, he felt that something was off.
Did Clayton just kick him out?
Clayton walked around the empty house. It just felt strange, and he was uncomfortable.
After changing his clothes, Clayton closed the door and went downstairs.
Nicole’s door lock had already registered Clayton’s fingerprints in it, so he made himself at home and
opened the door to go in.
The apartment was clean. Although Nicole was not at home, Kai regularly had someone come over to
clean it. Thus, it was spotless.
Clayton’s expectant mood gradually sank because he noticed that Nicole was not home.
Nicole took a phone call and went out earlier. Why was she not back yet? Clayton touched his hair and
thought of calling her, but he held back.
A girl must have her own space. Nicole also had her own friends, so he should not be too
nervous.
At that thought, Clayton went to get the robot cleaner and started to clean the place. He could not stay
idle, so he took a cloth and started to wipe the table.
Although there was nothing to wipe, keeping himself busy gave him peace of mind.
Clayton then went into the kitchen to reheat the hot water. Hearing the whistle of the kettle and the
qurgling sound of the water, Clayton instantly felt that he was transported back to before he went to
Southeast Asia.
The last sliver of sunlight faded, and darkness came.
There was a commotion at the door. Clayton turned around and saw Nicole walking in with a big bag of
things.
He was just about to go over and give her a hand, but there was someone else behind her.
“Uncle Floyd?”
Surprisingly, Floyd was also here.
There were more people behind him.
Grant, Aida, Kai, and Mr. Anderson came over.
Everyone was a little surprised to see someone in the house.
However, they were not so surprised when they saw that it was Clayton.
Kai saw the apron that Clayton was wearing and laughed out loud.
