Nicole could not stand their probing looks. Seeing as the situation was getting awkward, Nicole immediately countered.
"I was born with good skin!"
Julie immediately stopped Yvette, who wanted to continue speaking.
She looked at Nicole with a smile.
"Well, your boyfriend went out early in the morning to buy breakfast for us. Thank him properly for us. It's getting late now, and we still have things to do, so we'll see you at the banquet tonight.”
Nicole nodded. Old Master Carter's birthday banquet was tonight, so of course, they would see each other.
Yvette was pulled away by Julie.
Only Clayton and Nicole were left in the living room.
Nicole looked at the breakfast on the dining table and frowned slightly.
They tossed around until early morning, but he still had the energy to go out to buy breakfast. Did he not need to sleep?
She turned her head to look at him.
Clayton instantly understood what she was thinking.
He smiled and explained.
"I had someone buy it early in the morning and deliver it downstairs. I just went to get it a few minutes ago."
Realization dawned on Nicole. "So, they were wrong to compliment you?"
Clayton laughed. "I could explain it to them, but I went out to get breakfast so that no one would find out that I was staying here last night."
Otherwise, Clayton would just have their breakfast sent directly to the door.
Nicole had nothing more to say.
She turned around and went to wash up. When she was done, she watched Clayton sitting at the dining table waiting for her while replying to some emails and messages from Liberty.
Nicole suddenly thought of something.
"Have the people upstairs left?"
Nicole asked.
Clayton said, "From the sound of it, they probably have."
Before he went downstairs, he heard the sound of the door closing.
Nicole nodded. "You worked hard last night."
Clayton asked, "Hard work in which aspect?"
He clearly knew yet he still asked.
Nicole's smile stiffened. She really wanted to bash him to death.
Clayton was really getting more blatant. It seemed like it must have been very hard for him to put up a gentlemanly front in front of her before.
However, Nicole was not willing to fall behind and smiled.
"In all aspects."
Clayton was speechless.
