Chapter 1469

Read of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole hesitated. Eric calling her at this time was definitely not for business matters.
However, there was nothing to talk about between them regarding private matters.
Nicole was suddenly a little annoyed. She held the phone and hesitated.
With a slip of the hand, the call was connected. Her heart skipped a beat as she felt guilty.
However, she soon regained her composure and thought, ‘So what if I answer his call?’
“Nicole…”
Eric’s voice was low and raspy. It was unbelievably heavy.
Nicole was silent for a few seconds before she spoke. “Mr. Ferguson, what do you want?”
Eric took a deep breath. His voice was deep, tired, and helpless. “I’m sorry.”
This “sorry” did not sound like an apology for what he did in the past.

Rather, it felt like it was for today.
Nicole pursed her lips. “The past is long gone. I just saw the news online and should say
congratulations, right?”
This kind of reaction was the most normal, right?

Eric was silent for a full minute. Over the phone, Nicole could feel Eric’s depressed mood.
However, she could not do anything about it. At that moment, Nicole clutched the phone. “If there’s
nothing, I’m hanging up…”
“Nicole…” Eric laughed lightly and continued, “You really know how to hurt me.”
Eric did not feel that hopeless for the whole incident, but that “congratulations” from Nicole was
extremely hurtful.
It was painfully suffocating.
Nicole stiffened for a moment. She did not know what to say, and she could not say anything else.



Eric finally calmed down. “Forget it. It’s good to hear your voice.”
Nicole paused, then hung up the phone.





She was afraid that if she continued to listen to him, Eric would say something awkward. After Nicole
put down the phone, she looked at the latest report sent by the various departments. Her phone then
chimed. It was a message. After reading it, someone knocked on the door and came in. Nicole thought
it was Logan, so she did not even raise her head.

“Logan, help me to iron my coat. I’m going out later.”
The other party did not make a sound but still went to the door to get Nicole’s coat. He then went to the
side table to prepare to iron it.
Nicole even wondered why Logan was suddenly so quiet.
When Nicole looked up, she saw that Clayton was laying out Nicole’s coat on the ironing board,
preparing to iron it.
Nicole was stunned and stood up in a hurry.“ It’s you?”
She walked over. “Put it away. Let Logan do it later.”
The corners of Clayton’s lips held a warm smile as he glanced at her somewhat helplessly.
“No wonder Michael said that Logan is all- powerful. Not only does he have to help you with the
company’s affairs, but he also does small things like ironing your clothes?”
Nicole shrugged helplessly. “Logan is omnipotent!”
Clayton smiled and moved gently and carefully. ” Then spare him this time. I’ll iron your clothes.”
“Mr. Sloan, your skills are really becoming more comprehensive.”
“How can I take care of you if I’m not comprehensive?”
Nicole smiled and suddenly realized something. “What are you doing here?”
Clayton asked, “Can’t I come over if there’s nothing?”



“Of course, you can, but it’s rather sudden…”
Nicole frowned and muttered,“ I just didn’t arrange my schedule…”
Clayton raised his eyes. The smile at the corners of his lips never diminished.
“To be honest, I was afraid that the online public opinion would affect your mood, so I purposely rushed
over to see you. Are you okay?”
Nicole gave him a speechless look.
“It has nothing to do with me, so why would my mood be affected?”
Clayton said,“ It’s good that it didn’t. I booked a restaurant at noon. Shall we have lunch together?”
Nicole smiled shyly.
“I have a facial appointment with Yvette, so I can’t have lunch with you at noon.”
