Chapter 1465 Not Fully Present

Nicole, noticing Zachary's hesitation, inquired, "Is something troubling you? Feel free to confide in me. Perhaps I

can assist."

She surmised that Zachary might be grappling with some issues. Otherwise, his hesitance would be inexplicable.

There must be something he was finding difficult to articulate.

Zachary glanced at Nicole, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. He hadn't anticipated that his indecision about

confiding in Nicole would lead her to misconstrue his intentions.

"No, not at all. I was merely contemplating who should foot the bill for dinner later, you or me," he chuckled, swiftly

diverting the conversation to dinner to prevent Nicole from probing further.

"Of course, it's on me. Didn't I promise last time to treat you to dinner? Have you forgotten already?" Nicole

retorted playfully, her laughter echoing in the air.

Indeed, Zachary had done her a significant favor previously, so it was only fair that she reciprocated by treating

him to dinner. Moreover, it wasn't equitable to always expect Zachary to pay simply because he was a man.

"Alright, then I'll graciously accept," Zachary responded, a smile playing on his lips.

In reality, his relationship with Nicole extended beyond mere meals. On their way, Nicole had already clarified the

purpose of this meal. His question was merely to change the topic.

"By the way, Nicole, what are your future plans? It's been a while since we last caught up. How's the medical base

faring?" Zachary queried as if a thought had just struck him.

To assist Nicole, he needed to comprehend her current circumstances first.

"Well… I recently secured a partnership opportunity. I've got the entry ticket, but the success of the partnership

hinges on our capabilities," Nicole responded thoughtfully. The only recent accomplishment of the base seemed to

be this one. However, she was aware that success couldn't be rushed.

"What kind of partnership? Could you elaborate?" Zachary nodded, prompting her to continue.

Nicole pondered for a moment, trying to distill the matter into its simplest form.

"It's a partnership with Cure. Numerous bases are vying for this opportunity, and we've managed to secure a

chance," she explained, giving herself a thumbs-up in self-congratulation.

Zachary was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected it to be Cure and was familiar with this project, as he

was overseeing it.

This is a golden opportunity served on a silver platter!

"Alright, give it your all. Cure is planning a global expansion in the future. If you can forge a long-term partnership,

it will be a significant achievement for the base." Zachary quickly regained his composure, feigning indifference,

and spoke calmly.

Nicole nodded in agreement. She was well aware of the potential benefits of this partnership and the minimal risk

involved. At worst, it would cost them a few days.

The medical base made rapid strides recently. It seemed as if they were preemptively preparing for any potential

risks associated with the project, striving to ensure a risk-free partnership.

While they were engrossed in their conversation, the atmosphere at the adjacent table was considerably less jovial.

Colton was engrossed in his meal, his expression unreadable.

Wendy glanced at Colton's preoccupied demeanor and shook her head in resignation. She couldn't possibly divulge

Nicole's situation to her brother at this juncture. She was well-acquainted with her brother's temperament.

Wendy sighed in resignation.

Everything had to be put on hold until Kendrick was dealt with. Only then could she reveal everything to Colton.

There was no other viable solution.

"Colton, have you given any thought to what I mentioned earlier?" Beryl asked nonchalantly.

He had observed the subtle exchange between Colton and Wendy earlier.
