Nicole looked at Eric indifferently and said, "Clayton said that he found a clue about the car accident. I’m meeting him at a reception and will be back later.”
Eric's complexion became solemn and cold. He pursed his lips. "Be careful then."
Nicole nodded and went downstairs.
Luca followed her.
Toto hurriedly caught up to them.
"I’ll go too! Ms. Stanton, take me with you. I'll protect you!"
Nicole was very reluctant to speak because she felt that her words might hurt his pride.
Luca rolled his eyes and said, "Ms. Stanton is safe with me.”
"Luca, you’re an obvious bodyguard, but I can protect M s. Stanton covertly! That way, it'll be safer."
Toto looked at Eric expectantly. 'Hurry! Say something for yourself!'
Eric pursed his lips. "Take him with you then. If anything happens, you don’t need to care about his survival.”
Toto was speechless.
Nicole raised an eyebrow. "Whatever..."
When they arrived at the venue of the reception, Luca got out and opened the door for her. As soon as Nicole got down from the car, she saw Clayton Sloan standing at the door.
Clayton looked like a noble and mysterious man as he stood there with such a steady and indifferent temperament.
He walked up to Nicole and nodded with a light expression. "Don't worry, there are no strangers around."
The implication was that there would not be any sudden attacks.
Nicole smiled and felt relieved.
The two of them stood at the doorway and walked in one after the other. Luca lagged a few steps behind to distance himself from them.
Behind him, Toto came up and whispered, "Who's that big boss?"
"I don't know." Luca glanced at him, not wanting to talk.
Toto was persistent. "Is he trying to woo Ms. Stanton?! You have to follow closer. How can you leave them alone?"
That man was extremely good-looking with such an extraordinary and noble temperament. Toto could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary man because that man's aura was comparable to Eric. Toto instantly had a sense of crisis!
