Chapter 79 The Thing Between You and Colton

Nicole was about to say something until she saw the injury on Colton’s face.

Then, she chose to quietly lower her head as she gobbled up her food.

After picking up the courage to look at the man again to say something, she was stopped by Annie, who had abruptly entered the room.

“Miss Anderson,” she started. “I have washed and dried your clothes. They are now in your room upstairs.”

“Alright. Thank you,” Nicole quickly nodded and said her thanks.

With a smile on her face, Annie replied, “You are welcome.”

Right when she was about to head upstairs, Colton suddenly called out to her from behind. “Come down after you’ve changed into your working attire. We’ll go to work together.”

Nicole only gave a simple ‘Okay’ as she nodded in response. At the same time, she couldn’t help but take a peek at Colton’s face. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be in a particularly bad mood, she let out a sigh of relief before hurrying upstairs.

She didn’t take much time to change into something else. They soon got into Colton’s vehicle and finally set off for the company.

Both of them did not speak a word to each other throughout their journey on the road. Nicole was the first one to break the silence when she gingerly brandished a Band-Aid she had procured from Annie on her way out.

“Would you like a piece of Band-Aid, President Gardner?” she asked.

The obvious scar on his chin was way too conspicuous to be left out in the open for people to see.

Then, he lowered his gaze to look at the Band-Aid in Nicole’s hand, and with raised brows, he humorously asked in return, “You think this Band-Aid on me can hide this scar from everyone?”

An embarrassed Nicole rubbed her nose and grumbled, “It can at least cover a part of it.”

Colton only turned and started to walk away instead of answering her.

Upon being ignored, Nicole’s gaze started to shift between the man’s retreating figure and the Band-Aid in her hand. Is he mad…

It wasn’t like she couldn’t understand his anger. After all, he was hurt consecutively 3 times because of her…

The ends of her hair were starting to stand when she recalled how she had kicked Colton out of the bed that morning, but she soon brought herself out of her reverie with a shake of her head. Then, she immediately started making her way to her office.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she was greeted by the sight of a petite young girl seated in her office. With her little back toward Nicole, she had her head tilted downward as she swiped the screen of her phone. Besides that, the sound of her phone was set on speaker at a loud volume without consideration of the surroundings.

Nicole stayed calm despite that. She then took small steps toward the girl and lightly knocked on the surface of the table to get the girl’s attention. “May I ask who you are?”

The girl’s head whipped around to look at the source of the voice as she began to blatantly stare at Nicole. Her eyebrows began to wiggle mischievously as a smile appeared on her face. At that moment, Nicole couldn’t help but notice how beautiful the young girl was.

Now that her interest was piqued, the young girl kept her phone away before staring into Nicole’s eyes. “I saw Colton carrying you home last night,” she hummed.

It was a simple sentence, yet one could easily tell that there were tons of hidden messages underlying it.

“Could you be Wendy?” Nicole asked with uncertainty after raking her brain.

Wendy was caught by surprise upon hearing her name coming out of Nicole’s lips. She immediately hopped out of the chair and cheered, “You know who I am?”

“Yup,” Nicole replied with a nod of the head. Then, she walked over to the sofa at the side and sat down as she said in a relaxed manner, “President Gardner has mentioned you before. He wanted me to design a gown for you.”

“Really?! Will you really do it, Miss Lisa?” An excited Wendy cheered again when she heard that.

Nicole nodded again in response. “Yes. I’m familiar with it as I used to specialize in haute couture.”

It had been something that Colton asked of Nicole some time ago, and she had accepted the offer as well.

Wendy was so ecstatic after hearing Nicole’s words that she completely forgot about what she had wanted to say next.

She would definitely be the prettiest of them all during the dinner if she wore a custom-designed gown by Lisa!

Her grin was still plastered on her face when she waddled in front of Nicole. “Can I request something?” she asked.

“Tell me everything,” Nicole encouraged her with a nod, after which she took a pen from the table. “I’ll write it all down and I’ll have the design draft tomorrow.”

Seeing the serious look on Nicole’s face, Wendy suddenly stood up. Her pursed lips parted as she promised in a hushed voice, “I’ll keep the thing between you and Colton a secret!”
