Clayton thought to himself, 'Do you have to poke at my embarrassment so bluntly?'
However, he soon laughed at himself. He was more open and ashamed of his narrow-mindedness.
"Yeah, I saw it, so I wanted to discuss it with you."
Nicole rolled her eyes. "What's there to discuss? Who knows what he's thinking about? In any case, my brother already sent the gift, so we didn't show him any disrespect.”
Clayton let out a low chuckle. The stuffiness in his chest was swept away.
Oh, his baby was only concerned about her reputation!
Yvette, who was next to Lance, had been looking in all directions. Quite a few people attended, and it was considered a big event.
No one had anything superfluous to say when they saw Lance and Yvette appear together. After all, outsiders did not know that they were married.
However, Yvette had a reputation. The people just felt that these two people might have appeared by coincidence and were not really together. Thus, no one said that they were a good couple or a natural pair.
Yvette excitedly took a glass of wine to talk to the gossiping ladies but was pulled back by the expressionless Lance.
He ended his conversation with another boss in front o f him before looking down at her. He spoke very softly.
"I told you not to wander around..."
Yvette pouted. "I just wanted to say hello to those ladies."
Lance followed her gaze and faintly looked away.
"Maybe another day, but not today.”
The rejection was very crisp.
Yvette was stunned for a moment, very surprised. The corners of her mouth tightened in slight displeasure.
"Mr. Sheldon, did you know? Not even my mother would restrict me from having friends, let alone girl friends!"
Lance looked at her faintly and very seriously considered the implications of that statement.
Just when Yvette thought that he was going to bow and admit his mistake, Lance spoke.
"Let me remind you that you're not only my date today but also my assistant. This kind of social niceties is official business and one of your duties!"
