The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 2329 Back Again

After returning from the Stanton Mansion, Clayton kept frowning. Nicole was not sure if he was too tired

or if he was thinking about something.

Nicole answered a few calls from Logan, so she did not bother to ask Clayton about it for a while.

When Clayton came back to his senses, he called Roland.

“Yes. Sell it, preferably to someone with experience.”

Nicole frowned and saw that Clayton had hung up the phone.

“What are you selling?”

“The restaurant. I don’t plan to continue running it.”

Clayton regarded the restaurant as a temporary residence. It was not a business that he wanted to run.

The restaurant’s profit was not enough to make ends meet. Roland could tell that the restaurant would

not be profitable for at least three years.

In the early stage, it was necessary to provide the best ingredients and services to win customers and

gain a reputation.

However, those were the most expensive aspects of a business.

Instead of wasting time here, Clayton might as well manage his businesses in other industries.

Roland was starting to feel burnt out, so he hoped that Clayton would come back soon.

Nicole also understood what was going on and joked with Clayton.

“I thought you were addicted to being a chef and didn’t want to leave!”

Clayton touched her face and smiled. “I will only be your chef.”

The two of them smiled, parked the car, and entered the restaurant hand in hand.

Although Clayton decided not to operate the business, the follow-up series of procedures such as staff

placement would take time to complete.

It would not be done for a while.

Neither of them expected to see Kira there.

Kira was sitting on a chair in the lobby in a wretched state as two waiters went up to hand her tissues.

“Don’t cry, Kira. The boss has been very generous to give you a sum of money. Why don’t you take this

opportunity to go on a vacation for a few days before you look for another job?”

There were few people that day, and the restaurant was exceptionally quiet.

It was so quiet because there were no customers.

When Clayton entered and saw this scene, his face instantly became gloomy.

Nicole stood aside and watched. Her eyes flickered, but she did not make a sound.

She knew that Clayton had always taken his business seriously. Even if he did not want to continue

running this restaurant, it was definitely because he was not interested, not because of other factors.

Kira sat and cried at the entrance in such a wretched manner. No decent guest would come in and be

in the mood to eat there.

Kira’s eyes were red. It looked like she had been crying for quite a while.

Seeing Clayton coming in, everyone held their breath for an instant. They instantly became serious and

were no longer in the mood to watch the show as they were in the beginning.

Kira was originally sitting there, but when she saw Clayton, she subconsciously stood up. However, she

could not stand firmly and fell back on the chair.

Nicole’s expression changed subtly when she looked downward.

Only then did she realize that Kira’s right leg was amputated.

For some reason, one of her prosthetic limbs was broken into two pieces on the ground next to her.

Kira saw Nicole beside Clayton, and for a moment, she felt embarrassed and wanted to hide her leg

and prosthetic limb.

However, it was no use at all.

She could only raise her eyes to look at Clayton. She looked so pitiful and depressed.

“Boss, I really have nowhere to go. Please let me come back. I don’t mind doing odd jobs or being a

dishwasher! I’ll accept anything!”

Kira said as tears streamed down her face.

When she cried, she did not look pitiful, but rather miserable.

The colleagues next to her dared not speak up for her.

Although Kira was arrogant, she knew how to get into people’s good graces because she was in the

modeling industry for a while.

Thus, some of her colleagues thought that she was a decent person.

However, they noticed that Clayton was not in the mood for discussion. Instead, he looked at Kira

coldly.

Thus, no one dared to make a sound.

Clayton stood there with a cold face and did not speak for a while.

He glanced around and asked, “Where’s the manager?”

Just as he mentioned the manager, one of the employees immediately said, “The manager went to get

groceries with the chef. There was a traffic jam on the road, so she’ll be right back.”

Clayton glanced at Kira coldly. His tone was harsh as he said, “There’s no place for you here, so you

should leave. Don’t make your former colleagues kick you out.”

After Kira heard this, her face turned pale again. She opened her mouth, but she could not say a word.

Clayton did not say much. He just looked away and pulled Nicole’s hand inside.

He was relatively slow as he walked upstairs, but he was very steady. He was already very comfortable

without the help of others.

Nicole could tell that it was inconvenient for him to use the stairs, but when she thought that he would

never come back here again, there was no need to install an elevator.

Clayton went into the room and rubbed his forehead with a glum face.

Nicole raised her eyebrows. His mind was clearly in a mess, but he concealed it really well.

Clayton turned his head, and his throat moved slightly.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I have nothing to do with her. I didn’t know when she came back. I hope she didn’t affect your mood.”

He knew that Nicole was wary of this woman.

If he had known that Kira would hurt Chatty and Nicole, he would rather see her die abroad than help

her back then.

He was just getting himself into trouble.

Clayton, who was gentle and apprehensive, looked a little helpless as he knew that Nicole was trying to

make things difficult for him.

However, Clayton did not plan to fool her and analyzed the situation with a smile. Coոtent оf

“Probably the latter. I’m not a stingy person when dealing with my subordinates. She’s just too greedy.”

Nicole pursed her lips. “Well, it’s quite pitiful that she lost a leg…”

Clayton was silent for a moment before he said, “She asked for it, so don’t sympathize with her.”

“What?”

Nicole was speechless. She did not expect it to be so complicated.

In an instant, the sympathy in her heart disappeared.

Clayton patted her head indifferently.

“Do you still feel sorry for her?”
