The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 891 Too Shallow

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 on 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, bu who knows how she is privately..."

Clayton's cold and stern voice interrupted her.

"Ms. York, it's appalling to talk about others behind their backs. I don't want to listen to it either."

Clayton wanted to leave, but Ava stopped him. Her seductive look was breathtaking as she parted her red

lips.

"Why don't you want to hear this? Don't you want to know her?"

"That's because everything that comes out of your mouth is garbage."

Clayton turned and pushed Ava away to go out when he saw Nicole leaning on the wall, gently swirling the glass of red wine in her hand. He froze for a moment.

His face was gloomy, and there was no warmth or softness in his eyes. He looked completely different from the usual Clayton Sloan. 'So, even Clayton could get angry...' Nicole smiled and looked at him with raised brows.

Just as Nicole was about to speak, Ava came out.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked aggrieved. It did not match those fox-like eyes of hers at all and made her look a little phony. "What did I do wrong? Do you hate me? Nicole and I are classmates. How would I have improper thoughts about her boyfriend?" Ava wiped her tears as she came out and saw that Clayton had not left.

She looked up and saw Nicole standing there.

Nicole's posture was somewhat careless and lazy, but she looked bright and elegant.

However, Nicole's beautiful eyes were flooded with cold intent.

Ava froze and walked over with a smile, pretending that nothing happened.

"I said that I would pay for a new shirt, but your boyfriend refused. He's so sweet..."

Clayton frowned gloomily. He pursed his lips and did not speak.

Nicole coolly and elegantly walked up to Ava. Her gaze was cold as she raised her chin slightly.

"There's no need to pay, since... We're even now."
