Chapter 1038

Piss Him Off

Nicole knew what he meant. She sat down and smiled.

“I think that Eric only introduced my dad to Isaac. He probably doesn’t know about Lil Michael’s
kidnapping.”

Clayton raised his brows. “Why do you say that?”

“Because there’s no benefit for him, and he seldom does things that aren’t self-serving. Taking Lil
Michael away won’t give him any benefits and will even tarnish his reputation and affect his company’s
stock price instead. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told me that location the day after Michael’s incident.”

Clayton’s eyes were deep as his lips curled.

“It seems that I have to thank Mr. Ferguson then.”

“That’s not necessary. You found out by yourself even if he didn’t say anything. Besides, he became
Isaac’s accomplice, so he’s just trying to save himself. There’s no need to thank him.”

Nicole spoke calmly.

Clayton suddenly smiled. His eyes were clear and bright.

“Mr. Ferguson purposely told you because he wanted you to thank him, but this is what you think instead.
Are you trying to piss him off?”

Nicole looked at him in confusion.

Was she mistaken?

Clayton laughed for a while before calming his emotions.



“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Since Nicole wanted to piss Eric off, Clayton was even less burdened.

Eric’s actions had been a wasted effort.

Nicole glared at him and lowered her head to taste a spoonful of soup.

It was delicious and savory.

However, she could not drink too much of it. There was too much purine in it, so she

could not control herself.

Nicole put down the spoon in time and wiped her hands.

“I’m done eating. Say good night to Lil Michael for me. I’m going up to read some documents.” 1

Logan had sent all the documents to her email. She had to read them in advance tonight t o come up
with a charter for tomorrow’s meeting.

Clayton nodded and sent her to the door, but he then grabbed her hand.

“Did you forget anything?”

Nicole looked back at him in surprise. Her phone was in her hand, and her bag was in her other hand.

She did not forget anything.

Nicole shook her head blankly.



Clayton’s eyes were deep. He suddenly exerted a force in his hand to pull the woman into

his arms.

His low and husky voice rang out in her ear.

“You said good night to Michael. Why didn’t you say it to me?”

There was a hint of jealousy.

His large hands encircled her waist. The feeling of fully holding her was quite wonderful.

He was a bit reluctant to let go.

Nicole was stunned for a few seconds. The man’s warm and soothing scent was trance inducing. Her
heart jumped and she almost went into a daze.

Nicole stood there and felt her face grow hotter.

She met his eyes that were capable of seducing people.
