Chapter 111 Don’t Look For Me Anymore

With the release of the new summer line looming, both Nicole and Joanna began to get busy.

During lunch break at noon, Nicole was looking through the design drafts on her computer when the door suddenly

opened, and Henry came in with her lunch.

When Nicole saw him, she quickly turned off the computer screen.

“Nicole, you didn’t come out at all, so I just thought I’d bring your lunch in. You haven’t eaten yet, right?” Henry

smiled warmly and placed the lunch box in his hand on the table.

Staring at the computer for a long time made Nicole’s eyes a little uncomfortable, so she reached out and rubbed

her eyes to relieve the fatigue.

“I’ve eaten. Scarlett brought me food,” Nicole answered in a hoarse voice.

She had been too busy these few days, so she stayed in the office almost the whole time she was at work, and

Scarlett would bring her breakfast and lunch.

Henry smiled indifferently and continued, “It’s okay. I’ll bring it over to you earlier next time, Nicole. Just tell me if

there’s anything you’d like to eat.”

Looking up at Henry, Nicole paused, then remembered Scarlett’s remark. “Henry.”

When Henry heard Nicole call him, he immediately raised his head and smiled. “Yeah, I’m here.”

“Don’t come to my office anymore,” Nicole said bluntly. In the next few months, the summer line was going to be

launched, and they had to work on the winter collection right after the launch. She had no time to beat around the

bust with Henry anymore.

When Henry heard Nicole’s statement, the smile on his face vanished. His expression tensed up as he looked up at

her and asked softly, “Nicole, is there something I’m not doing right?”

Nicole shook her head. “You didn’t do anything wrong. Right now, we’re just friends at most, so you’re overstepping

a little.”

Henry studied Nicole. The person in front of him seemed to have changed all of a sudden as she had become calm

and confident. Originally, he thought he could always take advantage of Nicole’s guilt, but he didn’t expect that this

woman would turn away and deny him so soon.

In the past few days, a lot of gossip had spread in the Gardner Corporation because of his frequent visits to Nicole’s

office. Queenie was satisfied with this and had given him a sum of money.

After getting a taste of that, Henry was even more reluctant to let her go.

Pretending to be pitiful, he put on a guilty expression. “I’m sorry, Nicole. I-I didn’t think that far…”

When Nicole looked at him, she found the atmosphere to be a little stiff. She sighed slightly before continuing,

“Henry, I’m now representing F&M Apparel at the Gardner Corporation. Let’s not get too close to each other since

people in the office are gossiping. After this project is completed, we can properly spend some time together.”

Since Nicole had already made such a decisive statement, Henry couldn’t make any more excuses. Lifting up the

things in his hand, he said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Nicole. I… I was too anxious.”

Nicole didn’t speak, and she didn’t look at him either, but simply turned to look outside.

Henry understood Nicole’s meaning, so he turned around and left with the food.

His grip tightened. Fortunately, he had copied all the design drafts when he came to Nicole’s office last time.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn’t have a chance.

He had yet to hand over the design drafts to Queenie because he still wanted to catch up with Nicole. But since she

had no consideration for his feelings, he figured he’d show her no mercy.

After all, the money Queenie gave him was enough to cover his salary for a year.

When Nicole saw Henry leave, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the next few days, she had to confirm and

revise the designs, and she had to go to the factory to finalize the fabrics too. It was all a mess, so she truly had no

energy to continue the ambiguous relationship with Henry.

Scarlett came in after Henry went out, and she was looking at Nicole with a small smile on her face. “Nicole, is he

gone?”

“Yes.” Nicole nodded.

Scarlett stepped forward and said, “I just saw him. He seemed very angry.”

Nicole wasn’t surprised. After all, she had refused him quite decisively.

Curling her lips, Scarlett said, “Nicole, it’s right to be quick and decisive. I always feel that he doesn’t have good

intentions anyway.”
