The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 657

Nearing the New Year.

Nicole handed over the company's affairs to others and engaged in more social activities.

They arranged some unimportant events in the days before the New Year since everyone would be busy after the New Year.

Grant was dealing with their overseas business while Nicole handled the domestic affairs.

Floyd brought Kai and Lil Michael to do some New Year shopping. The superstar was often photographed going in and out of major supermarkets around the city.

Maverick also had some time off from his research institute, but he was never in the mood to celebrate the New Year. Floyd had to call Maverick several times to make sure that he would be home for the New Year.

Finally, it was New Year's Eve.

Nicole gave everyone a holiday and was the last one to leave the office.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Clayton standing at the door.

After a long time of not seeing him, Clayton was still s o gentle and modest, which gave off a very comforting feeling.

However, there seemed to be an imperceptible gloom i n his eyes.

Upon closer look, Nicole felt like she was mistaken.

Clayton smiled. "I wanna pick up Lil Michael, but my car was driven away by the driver. Do you mind giving me a ride?"

Nicole raised her eyebrows. Of course, she did not mind.

In the car.

Nicole drove them. Clayton received a phone call and looked a little impatient.

"Now? Alright then."

After Clayton got off the phone, he looked at her.

Nicole asked, "What’s so urgent?"

"There's a private auction with a collection that I've been eyeing for a long time..."

Nicole chuckled. "It's still early, so let's go over and take a look."

Generally, such private auctions were not open to the public. The timing was also very random and depended on the mood of the host.

The items sold were mostly collectors' items, which were put up for auction for some reason and were very

rare.

Clayton looked at her gratefully. "Ms. Stanton, you’re s o beautiful inside and out. I wish you all the best for the new year!"

Nicole laughed. "I'd rather you wish that I’d soon become the richest person in the world!"

Clayton paused for a moment and laughed.
