Chapter 468 Interest First


    Once yton’s words fell, the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became silent.


    The silence entwined with the light breeze.


    Nicole paused in her footsteps and looked at him quietly.


    Her eyes were slightly cold.


    yton waited for a few seconds and did not get an answer, so he naturally did not let the situation


    be awkward.


    He chuckled and said, "You didn''t mishear me, and I won''t take back my words."


    His gaze was serious and frank. His tone was rxed.


    "As I said before, I''m very happy for you to take me as your new love to deal with Mr. Ferguson and the


    others. It’s not out of courtesy, Ms. Stanton. It’s more s o my feelings for you..."


    yton curled his lips into a decent smile that was not too humble nor too arrogant.


    Nicole’s eyes shed with a trace of iprehension and bewilderment.


    "Did this matter cause you to have some misunderstanding? I didn''t mean to..." "Of course, I know that


    you won''t deliberately create trouble and hype about this. I just thought that it''s the right timing to bring


    it up and thought that I had a chance to get in your favor. Although I won''t use such forceful and


    entric ways as Mr. Ferguson did to pursue you, I am very serious about my feelings for you.”


    Looking at yton''s sincere eyes and frank face, Nicole froze for a moment.


    She lifted her head slowly to look up at him. Under the streetlights, their shadows were stretched and


    still.


    yton''s seriousness and humility suddenly made her feel a warmth in her heart.


    If Nicole married yton, their evenly matched background would be a win-win situation. Perhaps


    yton was someone that Eric could not stop.


    However, Nicole did not want to use herself as a trade for interests, nor did she want to use yton to


    get Eric to give up on her.


    That would be unfair to yton.


    Nicole was silent for a few seconds. Her heart felt a little heavy, but her face was calm as she spoke.


    "Mr. Sloan, thank you very much for your..."


    "Ms. Stanton, don''t rush to friendzone me just yet. I’m not in a hurry to get into a rtionship. I just


    want you to know my intentions, that I’m going to pursue you." 1


    yton held a faint smile in his eyes that seemed to reflect the millions of stars in the gxy.


    Nicole’s heart trembled slightly, but she quickly regained herposure. She smiled courteously.


    "Mr. Sloan, we''re both business people, so don''t let personal matters affect our partnership..."


    ''Don''t cancel our cooperation if I reject you! I''m out to earn big bucks!''


    yton could not help butugh with some helplessness in his eyes.


    "Of course. Interestse first."


    Nicole agreed with this point of view. "Interest first!”


    The two of them reached a consensus, and the pressure Nicole felt dissipated.


    In one night, she had friendzoned two men, but she did not feel good about it.


    Back at the hotel.


    Nicole packed up and prepared to go back to Anta the next day. Floyd also agreed.


    After all, if Floyd did not go back soon, all his fish would be eaten up by Kai.


    The next morning.


    Lil Michael ran over in his pajamas. He looked so cute and tender that Nicole''s heart melted.


    Once he heard that Nicole was leaving, he insisted on taking the same flight as her. No one could


    persuade him otherwise.


    yton had some urgent matters to tend to, so he had no choice but to leave Lil Michael with Nicole


    and take a flight alone.

    Nicole was not sure if it was intentional.


    She did not see yton early in the morning, but she was relieved. After all, the man confessed his


    love to her so suddenlyst night. If they met in the morning, i t would be a little awkward.


    Eric arranged the flight because he wanted to go back together. He had long been waiting in the hotel


    lobby.


    He was no longer in a wheelchair. He sat on the sofa with a cane propped up next to him. His face was


    cold, and his aura was imposing and unapproachable.


    Toto was trembling as he stood at the side, holding a husky.


    ''What’s going on?''


    Nicole nodded politely at Eric with no extra emotion.


    Eric silently took his cane and struggled to stand up. H e said in his usual tone, "Let''s go."


    Toto greeted them. "Good morning, Chairman Stanton and Ms. Stanton. This is Young Master Ludwig''s


    dog that he asked to transport back to Anta. If you don''t feelfortable, we''ll leave it here."


    The husky shook its head and stared nkly at Toto with its tongue sticking out. It looked shocked as if


    it understood what Toto was saying.
