Eric walked over gloomily and interrupted their conversation.
His tone was tinged with jealousy.
"What are you guys talking about so happily?"
Clayton looked at Nicole, who slowly took a sip of coffee. Her slender fingers were so smooth and beautiful like works of art.
After a momentary lapse of concentration, Clayton immediately spoke. "Ms. Stanton just told a joke. Mr. Ferguson, would you like to hear it?"
Nicole raised her eyes to look at Clayton, but she did not say anything.
Eric’s gaze sank even more. He gnashed his teeth. 'She even joked with Clayton?!’
"Of course, do you mind if I join you?”
He did not wait for their reply and sat down next to Nicole, looking like he was declaring sovereignty.
His long legs carelessly touched Nicole's legs, so she subconsciously moved to the side a little.
Nicole wore a skirt that reached just above her knees. Seeing this, Eric deliberately touched her leg. At that moment, he felt an electric current through his heart.
He inadvertently glanced at her legs and could not move his eyes away.
'How can her slender and smooth calves be so beautiful?' Eric’s scorching gaze focused on Nicole.
A few seconds later, he quickly averted his gaze because it would be a problem if he could not control himself after staring at her for too long.
Nicole glared at him coldly and did not avoid his touch again. Instead, she kicked him viciously.
In a flash, his face turned white with pain.
'Damn it! How cruel!'
There was not much movement, so Clayton did not know what was happening under the table.
Eric smiled as if nothing had happened. "Actually, it's fun to have dinner with Mr. Sloan. Next time you guys meet up, remember to call me."
He looked at Nicole, who gave him a blank stare. She then looked at Clayton and said, "Mr. Sloan, I'm done with dinner, so I’ll head home first. Goodbye."
Clayton paused for a moment and hurriedly said, "Ms. Stanton, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you..."
Nicole looked at him.
"I have to leave Mediania in a few days to deal with some matters, so Lil Michael will be alone here. I can’t be assured even with his nanny and bodyguard around because he just won't behave himself. Will you please look after him for a few days?"
