Euan looked embarrassed.
He regretted having proposed the project in the first place.
It was not because the man he admired died, but because Nicole lost her husband.
Euan could not figure out why Nicole brought up this project again.
Everyone was still wallowing in sadness and had not gotten over the tragedy, but Nicole was already planning to rebuild the area.
Nicole paused. Her tone was cold and indifferent.
“Mr. Churchill, the relevant authorities have shown great support for the reconstruction of the disaster zone. They also need a brand new project to cover up the damage.”
“But Clayton was there…”
Euan saw Nicole’s face turn pale, so he immediately stopped talking.
It was a slip of the tongue.
“Ms. Stanton, why bother?”
Nicole pursed her lips. “Yes, you’re right. It’s because Clayton is there.”
She needed to make up for the emptiness in her heart.
Nicole did not want to avoid or be overly sensitive about that area. She did not want to leave Clayton there alone.
She wanted to build a brand new, high-end resort there so that she could visit him often in the future.
Mr. Churchill paused for a while before he spoke.
“Okay, since you’ve said so, I have no objections to it. You’re an investor in this project, so I’ll take your suggestions. When the project is completed, we can go over and attend the opening ceremony together.”
Nicole nodded.
Euan silently signed his name on the contract.
Nicole looked relieved, gently shook hands with him, and retracted her hand.
“I’ll get my secretary to contact your people. Please start work as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
After seeing Euan off, Nicole turned to look at Kai.
Kai was talking to the psychiatrist casually. They looked relaxed, which was a completely different atmosphere compared to her conversation with Euan just now.
Kai stretched out his hand and beckoned to her.
“Lil N, come here…”
Nicole was already used to Kai’s habit of making himself at home at her office.
She walked over and sat on the chair next to Kai.
Kai smiled. “This is a renowned psychiatrist who came back from abroad. The authorities are advocating psychological counseling for survivors in the disaster zone, so I specially found him for you. By the way, I’ve already paid him, so you have to stay here and actively cooperate with the treatment. Therapy will be beneficial for you. Grant has something to do in the evening, so you have to pick the kids up from school later!”
Nicole was stunned for a moment as she listened to Kai’s arrangements on her own affairs.
Besides that, Kai even instructed her to do other errands.
Kai did not give her any free time.
“Wait, why can’t you ask Dad or Mr. Anderson to pick up the kids? I have a business engagement tonight…”
Kai clicked his tongue. “Nope. That won’t do. There’s a parent-teacher meeting tonight. Do you want to tire out and torment Dad or Mr. Anderson if the school organized some parent-child activities?”
Nicole was speechless.
Kai fiddled with his car keys.
“Remember to arrange your time properly. I still have something to do.”
“What else do you have to do? Julie said she’d come to see me this afternoon…”
Kai replied, “I made an appointment to play golf, and I gotta make a guest appearance at an event later. How could Julie set aside time for you when she doesn’t even want to go on a date with me? This is outrageous! I’ll settle the score with her later!”
He said as he cursed and left the office.
Nicole was speechless.
It did not feel like Kai was there to coax her but to find fault with her.
The psychiatrist in the office smiled.
