Chapter 447: Together
Leroy was aware of how obsessed Nicole was with that man in the beginning.
He knew of her struggles, pain, deep affection, persistence, and constant efforts just for that man.
He knew that Nicole would succeed in her love because she deserves everyone's attention.That man died?
"That's a shame..."
Leroy sighed, "The person I like is also dead..."
Nicole lowered her eyes in silence.
Eric Ferguson was no longer the man that she was infatuated with back then.
To her, Eric Ferguson was long dead.
After some twists and turns, her state of mind was completely different as she came back to the place where it all started.
In the chateau, the "dead"
Eric Ferguson suddenly sneezed.
The servants in the chateau were instantly o n strict alert.
Nicole and Leroy looked at each other silently.
Suddenly, Leroy's eyes sparkled.
"Oh! Let me introduce you to my first student who's still single!"
Nicole had little expression.
"That's not necessary."
"He's here!"
"So soon?"
Speak of the devil! Leroy waved his hand excitedly in Nicole's direction.
Nicole turned around in a complicated mood.
When she saw the man, her body stiffened, and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Mr.Sloan?!"
The person who walked over was none other than the well-dressed Clayton Sloan.
The moment Clayton saw Nicole, he also looked surprised.
However, he quickly regained his composure and calmness.
He asked with an expressionless face, "Ms.Stanton, why are you here?"
"You know each other?!"
Leroy was even more shocked.
Nicole and Clayton nodded in unison.
Leroy could not help but shake his head.
"Then this is really fate! You're a match made in heaven!"
The two of them froze awkwardly for a moment.
Nicole frowned.
"Don't be ridiculous.We just have some business dealings with each other."
She was telling the truth.
Leroy nodded in understanding.
"Right...I almost forgot that my only two students are both hotshots and regulars on the Forbes list, so of course, you'll have
some sort of connection."
Clayton chuckled.
"Two students? The other one’s Ms.Stanton?"
Nicole was even more amazed.
She could barely maintain the calmness on her face.
‘What kind of small world is this?!’ The genius Professor Leroy always kept his students’ identities a secret, so no one could find
out any details, including each other's.
Leroy pointed to Nicole.
"Yup, that's her."
Clayton's eyes showed great interest.
"Leroy, with your temperament, I didn't think you'd accept another student.It's such a coincidence that it's Ms.Stanton too."
Nicole laughed helplessly.
"It is a coincidence!"
Leroy pointed at Clayton and explained with a smile, He's two years older than me and became my student because he lost to
me in an international hacker's league."
He then pointed at Nicole and said, "She's my student because she won me in the European International Tournament."
Clayton's smile deepened.
"Ms.Stanton, you have an interest in this too?"
Nicole was a capable businesswoman and the daughter of an affluent family.
Clayton did not expect that Nicole even knew how to code.
Nicole raised her eyebrows.
"It's just something from before."
Clayton did not probe further.
Leroy sat there and sized up the two of them.
His gaze faintly flickered.
"You guys are really destined to be together.You must take advantage of this opportunity!"
Nicole rolled her eyes.
‘What a busybody!’ She turned to Clayton and smoothly changed the subject.
"Lil Michael didn't come along?"
Clayton replied, "Well, he's a little scared of seeing teachers lately."
Nicole nodded in understanding.
Not far outside, Luca stood guard and watched the movement inside .
Even though he was professionally trained to have a poker face, he was still a little surprised when he saw Clayton there.
Toto ran over with two cups of ice cream, panting.
"Luca, take one! You can have the chocolate and I'll eat the strawberry."
