The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 881

Seeing Nicole fall silent, Clayton pursed his lips.

"I'm sorry. I’m not trying to force you into anything, but you promised me that you'll give me a chance. You ... Won’t go back on your word, right?”

Nicole bit her lower lip and suddenly felt her face burn up a little.

She thought it might be because of the lack of air circulation in the confined space of the car.

I won t.

She answered quickly and immediately changed the topic.

"Mr. Sloan, aren't you curious about how Asher and I met?"

Clayton paused and smiled. "How did you meet?"

Nicole was eager to make the atmosphere casual and normal again, so she simply spoke of the past.

"Asher was just a low-level manager in Cyndro International a few years ago. I worked under him when I was interning abroad."

Clayton looked at her in surprise.

There was too much information in her words.

With her background in Stanton Corporation, did

Nicole still need an internship?

Did Asher become the Vice President of Cyndro International in just a few years?

However, Asher did not know Nicole’s true identity.

"But looking at your relationship, you don’t seem like old friends..."

Nicole raised her brows and snorted coldly.

"He’s indeed capable, but he's the type to climb to the top by hook or by crook. I attended a party with him before. His partner obviously didn't have good intentions and tried to make me drink. Asher actually encouraged it as well. Heh... This kind of person is completely unscrupulous. How can I be friends with him?"

It was no wonder that her attitude toward Asher tonight was not warm and familiar but somewhat contemptuous instead.

Clayton pursed his lips, his voice low and gentle." Then what happened? You didn't drink, did you?"

There was obvious concern in his voice.

Nicole said, "I suspected that the glass of wine was spiked. Not only did I not drink it, but I also splashed the wine on his face in front of everyone, resigned on the spot, and left."

Clayton inclined his head to look at Nicole. He raised his brows, and his tone was extraordinarily relieved.
