Chapter 312 Worried

It was a shame that Kylie’s idealistic plans had crumbled into dust as she simply wasn’t fated to benefit from Ann’s

fame at all! Even though the public knew of it as a collaboration between Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel, it

was actually a collaboration between Gardner Corporation and Nicole.

No one could have expected Colton to be so forward-thinking—he had already decided to use Nicole’s name when

he first drafted the contract for Ann.

Nicole curled her lips into a smile. I bet F&M Apparel will regret every single action after they hear about this, she

thought. The office beside Colton had been unoccupied throughout the year, but there would always be cleaners

who dropped by to clean it up.

So, there wasn’t a stale scent when Nicole entered the room. The logistics department was especially enthusiastic

since Nicole was someone who mattered to Colton. Moving everything up to the top floor took less than one hour.

Since Nicole had moved upstairs, Whitney naturally shifted her spot upstairs as well. However, there was only one

empty office, so Whitney got Tony to arrange a seat for her. She overtook one of the spots left behind by a

secretary who had quit.

That evening, after working hours, Colton paid a visit to Nicole’s office. “Why don’t you follow me back to Gardner

Residence tonight, Nicole?” He pressed his lips and hesitated for a moment before continuing. “Grandpa misses

you,” he explained.

This was a legitimate reason, and Nicole couldn’t seem to find a way to reject him, so she simply pursed her lips

while nodding. “Okay.”

She had been too occupied with F&M Apparel’s matters recently, so it was true that she hadn’t gone around to visit

the old man in a while. Previously, Benedict had given her a call. Even though he hadn’t directly told her to visit him,

it was clear that he wanted her to drop by.

Nicole had initially planned on visiting Gardner Residence in the next two days, so she simply agreed to Colton’s

suggestion when he invited her over.

She told Whitney about her plans before following Colton to the Gardner Residence. Everything went well until they

opened the door and saw Olivia in front of their eyes.

Olivia’s face darkened when she saw Nicole. Nevertheless, she seemed thoughtful enough to consider Benedict’s

feelings, for she simply suppressed her emotions without saying much.

When Nicole saw Olivia, she instinctively flinched. Regardless, she decided not to start a fight with Olivia since she

had just arrived and was about to visit Benedict. Colton glanced at Olivia before speaking in a slow and lazy tone.

“What are you doing here, Aunt Olivia?”

Olivia seemed rather displeased to hear his words. “What does that mean? Can’t I come back to my own home?”

Colton chuckled at this. “Of course not. I’m sure Grandpa is glad to see you here.”

The angry look on Olivia’s face faded slightly as she spoke in a calmer tone. “Grandpa’s not feeling too well

recently, so I wanted to talk to your father about the surgery.” Colton frowned when he heard the woman’s words.

“Didn’t the doctor say that Grandpa’s too old for surgery?”

Oliva nodded. “Well, another way we could do this would be to hunt down White’s apprentice. Even though White is

dead, his apprentice has inherited all of his skills. So, if we could find the apprentice, Old Mr. Benedict would have a

chance of survival,” Olivia replied.

“Okay. I’ll go visit Grandpa, and we can discuss this later.” Colton didn’t say much—he simply led Nicole upstairs.

Nicole’s face seemed rather pale. Is Old Mr. Benedict really that ill? I can’t believe they’re actually trying to look for

me. Colton shot Nicole a look, and he gently questioned her when he saw the uneasy expression on her face. “What

is it? Are you not feeling well?”

Nicole hastily put on a neutral look as she shook her head. “It’s nothing. I was just worried after hearing that Old Mr.

Benedict is seriously ill.”
