Chapter 207 Misunderstanding

Nicole thought about getting up quickly, but this would make her unstable. She might fall again if she were to act

rashly. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to stay nestled in Colton’s arms.

He hugged her both hands, and using a little of his arm strength, he wrapped one arm around her waist. He used

the other to put her arm on himself as tried to help bring her to rest on the sofa.

But before he had time to act, he heard an energetic female voice coming from behind. “Holy sh*t! You two! There

is something going on between you, isn’t there?!” Whitney had witnessed Colton and Nicole hugging each other as

soon as she opened the door to come in.

From her point of view, Colton was holding Nicole as the woman lay weakly in his arms. They looked really close!

Nicole couldn’t help rolling her eyes when she heard Whitney’s booming voice.

Her friend was still at the door, her eyes looking like they were about to pop out.

Colton only let go after he helped Nicole get to the sofa. As she sat down, she held her head with one hand. The

fuss Whitney had caused earlier seemed to have given her a headache.

She stepped forward quickly as soon as Whitney noticed how bad Nicole looked. Staring at her pale face, the

former asked, “Are you anemic again, Miss Nicole?”

Nicole nodded. Still feeling a buzz in her head after hearing Whitney’s voice, she only spoke again rather disdainfully

after she let her dizziness pass. “Lower your voice, you. You are so noisy that you are giving me a headache.”

Whitney immediately closed her mouth and rubbed her nose in embarrassment. She then looked at Colton, who

was standing off to one side, and apologized, “I am sorry, President Gardner. I misunderstood the situation.”

Colton was very graceful and didn’t mind her at all. Instead, he lowered his worried gaze to glance at Nicole before

he looked away.

“Have a good rest. You can come up straight to my office if you have any problem.” He turned around and left after

saying that.

After he went out, Whitney hurriedly poured a glass of water for Nicole.

Nicole’s face did look better after she took a few sips of the drink.

Seeing her weak appearance, Whitney couldn’t help but worriedly ask, “Wasn’t your anemia cured a long time ago,

Miss Nicole? Why did you suddenly…”

Nicole curled the corners of her lips as she let out a bitter laugh before she put her hand on the bridge of her nose.

Rubbing it, she muttered, “Probably because I have been staying up late. My health hasn’t been the best these

days.”

Whitney also felt terrible when she saw how unwell Nicole looked. She thought for a while before asking, “Did

President Gardner need you for something?”

As soon as Whitney mentioned this, Nicole slightly wrinkled her forehead as she summarized the story for Whitney.

Even Whitney didn’t look all that well after listening to Nicole’s words.

“Is Hayden really the son of that playboy Joseph?” Whitney asked in disbelief.

As much as Nicole didn’t want him to be, it was a fact that she had no choice but to slowly nod her head at.

“No, but… Just look at Hayden’s appearance and temperament. They don’t feel like father-and-son at all. I might

believe it more if you told me that the child is President Gardner’s,” Whitney muttered in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Nicole turned to glare at the woman. Nicole hadn’t even scolded her for yelling as soon as she

entered her office.

Whitney must have noticed the odd glint in Nicole’s eyes, and she quickly explained, “I am just worried about you. I

was worried that President Gardner had done something to you after being inside here for so long, so I came in to

play the part of the hero that would save you, the princess!”

Nicole couldn’t help rolling her eyes again as she looked at her delusional friend.

Knowing that she had overthought things, Whitney wiggled closer to Nicole and apologized, “We have to always be

on our toes. Isn’t that right, Miss Nicole?”

It was hard for Nicole to stay angry at Whitney, now that the latter was sincerely apologizing. In the end, Nicole

couldn’t bring herself to nag Whitney as she looked at the woman’s smiling face.

“I have to explain this as soon as possible. Otherwise, it might make things troublesome for the president.”
