Clayton suddenly stood up. His face was glum from holding back. He did not lose his temper over such a trivial matter due to his good upbringing.
"It's fine. I’ll go to the washroom."
Clayton looked at Nicole as he spoke.
Nicole nodded, and Clayton strode away with his long legs.
Ava stood there guiltily. "I was too careless. How could I be so stupid? Nicole, your boyfriend won't be mad at me, right?"
Nicole slowly took a sip of the red wine. "He won't."
'He’ll just hate you.'
Ava sat back in her seat, nervous and worried.
"No, I have to go check if he needs help or not. Nicole, wait here..."
Nicole raised her brows. Her smile deepened. "Sure..."
She seemed to understand who Ava came here for.
After a while, the waiter came up, blushing and hesitating to speak.
"Ms. Stanton, I think your friend is being pestered by that woman. Are you sure you don't want to go and have a look?"
Nicole paused. Then, she stood up while holding the glass of wine.
“Thank you. I'll go look.”
Even the waiter could not stand it anymore. How shameless was that woman?
Nicole walked to the corridor that had some exquisite antique vases and decorative paintings around. It was clear that the restaurant went through great efforts to improve its style.
Before Nicole could admire the decorative paintings o n the wall, she heard Clayton's suppressed voice rebuking, "You're Nicole’s classmate. Please conduct yourself properly."
“I just want you to take off your soiled clothes so I can wash them. You won't misunderstand me, right? Besides, Nicole changes her man on a daily basis and has seen her fair share of men. She'll probably forget all about you. You should open your eyes and see clearly. There are rumors among our classmates that her reputation isn't good. She only knows how to pretend to be lofty in front of her ex-husband, but who knows how she is privately..."
Clayton's cold and stern voice interrupted her.
