C7 Be Honest and Generous

Clifton was still very concerned about his health, so he only ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables. On the other hand, Naomi was stuffed.

After paying the bill, the two of them got up. Just as they walked out of the room, Naomi saw the person she didn't want to see the most — Elijah.

Elijah obviously didn't expect to meet her here. After being slightly stunned, he quickly walked over. "Naomi..."

"You've got the wrong person!" Naomi grabbed Clifton's arm and wanted to leave, but her other arm was caught by Elijah.

It was only then that Elijah noticed the man standing next to Naomi. Without a doubt, he was a very handsome man. He was so handsome that Elijah felt ashamed of himself. However, when he looked at the handsome man under the sunglasses, he felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Mr. Dickerson, your friend?" The man who came with Elijah walked up and asked.

Elijah turned around and looked at him. He nodded and said, "Mmm, I have something to do. You go to your room and wait for me first."

The man nodded and walked into the room.

Elijah looked at Clifton and asked Naomi, "Naomi, who is he?"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Naomi glared at him with an unfriendly expression. She turned around and said to Clifton, "Let's go."

The person he wanted to meet was right in front of him. How could Elijah let them go so easily? He quickly walked in front of Clifton and reached out his hand. "Director of the Dickerson Group, Elijah."

Clifton raised his eyebrows when he heard her call him that. He did not reach out his hand. "Clifton."

Clifton? Elijah repeated the name twice in his mind. It sounded very familiar.

Naomi glanced at him and pulled Clifton away.

Elijah frowned as he watched the two of them leave. He finally remembered that Clifton was the CEO of the DK Group.

On the other side.

Clifton and Naomi left the house and took a taxi back to their apartment.

The two of them did not speak for a while.

Naomi knew that Clifton was waiting for her to say something, but her mind was in a mess. She took a deep breath and said, "He is my senior in university. We were together for three years. We just broke up a month before I met you."

Clifton turned around and looked at her without saying a word.

Actually, he already knew about this matter. The woman beside Clifton naturally had to be investigated.

Naomi could not guess his thoughts when she saw that he did not speak. She frowned and asked, "Are you not angry?"

Clifton shook his head. "You already said that you met me before. Since that's the case, there's no need to be angry."

For some reason, Naomi felt warmth in her heart when she saw his dark eyes. She could not help but reach out to hug his waist and kiss him on the cheek. “It’s so good to have you around!”

Clifton looked down at her and calmly pulled her hand away. "Sit in the car." He looked like he was still angry about what had just happened, but in his heart, he was thinking, I'll settle the score when I get back!

Naomi stuck out her tongue and knew that she had done something wrong. She thought about how she would make up for it when she got back.

Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the apartment. Naomi paid the fare and the two of them got out of the car.

After they went upstairs, Naomi put down her bag and said, "You didn't eat anything just now. I'll go get you a bowl of noodles."

Clifton pulled her back and held her in his arms. He lowered his head and saw the surprise in her eyes. He smiled and said, "It's too late to think about escaping now, right?"

Naomi panicked and said, "I... I don't want to escape."

"No?" Clifton raised his eyebrows. "I'll give you one last chance. Think carefully about what mistakes you've made tonight."

Naomi frowned. Of course, she knew that she had made a mistake, but she avoided the main point and said, "I shouldn't have ignored your feelings and insisted on eating hotpot."

Clifton just hummed in acknowledgement. Naomi immediately followed up, "But I have already recognized my mistake. I was just going to cook noodles for you to eat to make up for it."

How could Clifton be tricked by her little trick? He snorted and said righteously, "Clear your conscience and be lenient. Persisting is not a good result."

Naomi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't have the time to tell him the truth. Clifton suddenly lifted her up and walked straight towards the bedroom.

Thinking about the way Clifton had punished her in the past, Naomi quickly shouted, "I confess! I confess!"

The world spun around her. She was thrown onto the bed. Then, a figure came over. Clifton looked at her panicked expression and smirked. "It's too late!"

Before Naomi could react, her lips were sealed and she was trapped in the enemy's camp.

...

In the early morning, when Clifton was working hard on her for the third time, Naomi felt like she was going to die!

She couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she was woken up by Clifton. Naomi instinctively shrank back. She felt as if she had been hit by a car. It was so painful.

Clifton looked at her pale face and felt a little sorry for her. He asked with a straight face, "Do you know your mistake?"

Naomi quickly nodded. "I know, I know!"

"Tell me."

"I... I sold you too cheaply..."

Seeing that she still didn't change her mind, Clifton pretended to hit her again. Naomi quickly shrank back. "I admit my mistake. Why are you not going to keep your word? Don't touch me..."

Clifton knew that she was really scared. He stood up from the bed. "What do you want? What do you think I'm doing? I'm just asking you to wake up."

When she saw that he had really turned around and gone to the bathroom, Naomi let out a sigh of relief. She looked at the alarm clock and saw that it was already 8:10. She could only drag her tired body out of bed.

At 8:30, the two of them got off the car and left.

When Clifton saw Naomi's pale face, he frowned and rubbed her hair, saying, "Sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get there."

Naomi vaguely replied. She thought that it would only take them a few minutes to get to the magazine company, so she didn't sleep well. She stared blankly out of the window for a while, then turned around and saw that Clifton was leaning against the seat with his eyes closed.

She didn't take a good look at him before, but now she could see the faint green in his eyes. Thinking about what he had done last night, Naomi couldn't help but say, "You deserve it!"

After saying that, she turned around angrily and didn't look at him. However, she didn't know that when she turned around, the originally closed eyes of Clifton slowly opened, and his thin lips curled up slightly.

When they arrived at the magazine company, the morning meeting was about to begin. Naomi went to the washroom to clean herself up and then went to the meeting.

Naomi was so tired that she couldn't stand it. She raised her documents to block her closed eyes, looking as if she was about to lie down.

Bonnie was on the stage talking about the theme and planning for the next magazine. She looked at Naomi's direction many times, "Knock knock knock ~ Naomi, tell me what you think about the theme for the next magazine."

Bonnie knocked on the edge of the table. When Naomi heard that she had been called out, she was completely sleepy.
