Chapter 81 The Whisperings

Tony immediately shut his mouth and turned his gaze away from his boss’ chin. He then sputtered out his report at the speed of light and finally heaved a breath of relief when he had finished his presentation.

“President Gardner, that is all for the pre-new year’s plan. I’ll leave the information you need on the table. I’ll be leaving first if there is nothing else.”

Just as he was about to slip away, he only managed to take a few steps out of the office before that familiar, commanding voice told him to stand right where he was.

Tony’s body stiffened for a second there. He then abruptly turned around and peered at his boss with careful eyes. “Is there anything else, President Gardner?” he asked cautiously.

He couldn’t risk acting out-of-line today. He had to be extra careful when dealing with Colton, who was behaving, unlike his usual self.

“Do you have a bandage?” Colton’s low voice surprisingly rang out with a darkened face as he asked his secretary for a bandage.

“Huh?” Tony thought he heard Colton wrong. He finally responded when his eyes fell on the injury again. “Ah. I…I don’t.”

“Go buy me a box, then,” Colton ordered him with a wave of his hand.

Tony didn’t even need to be told twice as he nodded and flew out of the office.

If only Colton had known that the small injury would garner such big reactions from the people around him, he would have accepted the bandage Nicole had offered him this morning.

What Colton had not expected, however, was how much more eye-catching his chin had become after he slapped a bandage on it.

He first noticed how the regular employees kept throwing glances at him and his chin when the executives were giving their reports during a meeting. They even had the nerve to start chattering amongst themselves after peeking at him.

He couldn’t make out what they were mumbling about, but he knew for sure that they were talking about his chin.

It was an understatement to say how much he felt like a zoo animal surrounded by spectators.

It wasn’t like it was a big injury to begin with, but it did get more conspicuous with the bandage on his chin. Finally, after the persistent whisperings in his ears, he ripped the bandage off his face.

Because of that, the ones who were throwing glances every now and then were now staring directly at his chin with wide eyes.

Colton shouldn’t be held responsible for his actions, anyway. He had thought that the most the injury would do was bleed a little. Never would he have thought that teeth marks would start to appear on his chin.

A commotion would definitely have broken out in the office if Colton wasn’t there.

What kind of situation was this?!

The one and only President Gardner, who had been in abstinence for years, actually came to work with teeth marks on his chin!

Looking at the amorous marks, everyone could only wonder if it was done by the lady from the Anderson Family.

Colton’s face was dark all the way until the end of the meeting, and by the time he had left the office, he was a walking block of ice that everyone stayed away from.

Meanwhile, Nicole, the instigator of the incident, had her chin propped in the palm of her hand while sketching a draft on her computer.

As someone who specialized in haute couture for adults, Nicole had to consider the fact that Colton’s sister was a young lady that had not even come of age. She would have to come up with a design that wasn’t as revealing; something less mature and sexy would probably be more appropriate for Wendy.

She gave it a long thought before an idea finally came to her.

There was a time before she had become the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel and she had anonymously entered an international competition for designers. The theme for the final round was ‘Youth’, and she had won first place with a design of hers.

It would have been her stepping stone to overnight success if she had attended the award ceremony the following day, but alas, she had to miss it as she had received news that she was promoted to the position of Chief Designer at F&M Apparel.

She clicked into the file that had her initial draft of the design and after making sure that it was still usable after so many years, she started to make small edits to the design. It was a pity that the final product was never made, but she was happy to give it as a present to Wendy.
