After dinner and seeing Lil Michael, Clayton was a little hesitant to speak.
"Ms. Stanton, I'm going abroad to take care of some things and won't be back until after the New Year, so I'm sorry to put Lil Michael in your care again.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "That's not a problem, but why so sudden?"
Usually, there were many things to get done before the New Year, but a person of Clayton's status would not b e that busy.
Clayton smiled. "There are some problems with a project abroad. The partner intends to break the contract, so I have to attend to it personally."
Nicole nodded in understanding. "Okay then. You can go ahead. Don't worry about Lil Michael. He'll stay here. You can video call if you miss him."
Clayton smiled faintly as his eyes flickered. He still did not manage to say some things.
He had a rough idea of how this problem with the project came about.
'That person will really do everything. He wouldn't touch the project involving Nicole's interests and extended his reach to my foreign projects... Eric
Ferguson is really possessive over Nicole and doesn’t want anyone near her, huh?' Clayton thought.
Clayton chuckled and looked as gentle as usual, without a trace of doubt on the surface.
Naturally, Nicole did not think about the underlying meaning. After saying goodbye, she went back into the house.
She did a face mask and lay comfortably on the balcony as she hugged Tigger and read up on global stock trends.
The phone beside her rang, but she was too lazy to look.
Nicole patted Tigger's little butt. "Check who's calling?"
Tigger's artificial intelligence system automatically sensed it. "It's Aunty Yvette..."
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Answer it."
Tigger answered the call for Nicole.
Yvette's voice came through. "Hahaha! Nikki, have you seen Eric Ferguson's post?"
Nicole frowned. "I've long blocked him!"
Moreover, Eric Ferguson rarely posted on social media. Even if he did, Nicole did not want to see it because it was better to have fewer personal interactions between them.
Yvette's laughter went more out of control. "Then he totally missed the mark! Hahaha..."
Nicole was curious. "What happened?”
