Chapter 98 A Heroic Rescue

Thereafter, Nicole quickly turned around to leave as she did not even want to stay on for a second more in this

hotbed of dispute.

However, not long after she left the private room, Mason caught up with her.

“Hey, Pretty Lady, is this how you treat someone who got you out of a pickle?” he yelled as he watched her leaving

in a hurry.

Nicole stopped and turned to look toward Mason. Earlier in the room, she did not clearly observe his look. It was

only now that they had come out from the room to a brighter corridor did she realize that he was actually a

handsome man.

Besides the rascal-like smile on his face, there was a tinge of brazenness in his alluring eyes. Holding the cigarette

between his fingers and the bright-red hair, he gave the first impression of a good-looking gangster.

“Thanks for helping me out today, President Schumacher,” Nicole said politely.

Nicole reckoned Mason must be some respectable person since even Shaun, the Human Resource Department

manager of Gardner Corporation behaved in a servile manner toward him. As such, she knew she did not have to

go too far to thank him with money.

“Just call me Mason. Only outsiders will address me as President Schumacher.” Taking a step forward, Mason

approached Nicole and sized her up from head to toe.

Unlike the other women in the lounge, she did not wear any makeup today. There was an innocent demeanor on

her delicate face, which made her look totally out of place in this venue and it actually gave one a pleasant feeling.

“Sure, Mr. Schumacher,” Nicole called out strangely after she took a step back.

Mason smiled and didn’t really mind. “By the way, what’s your name, Pretty Lady? Who knows we might meet

again?”

“I’m Nicole Anderson.”

“Nicole Anderson,” Mason repeated after Nicole. Then, he nodded and praised, “That’s a sweet name. I’ll

remember you from now on.”

After getting her name, he did not ask her to continue staying. Instead, he waved her goodbye. “Miss Anderson, it’s

better to stay away from places like this in the future. It does not suit you.”

Then, he paused for a moment and winked at Nicole with a smile. “After all, you won’t always be this lucky to bump

into a handsome man who swears by justice like me.”

Nicole remained silent for a moment. Despite Mason’s rascal-like appearance, at least he was polite and did not

behave in any way that crossed the line.

“Thank you.” With that, she thanked him and left.

It was already past 10 o’clock by the time she arrived home. Hayden had already gone upstairs to sleep, so there

was only Zachary sitting in the living room.

Seeing Nicole’s return, Zachary lifted his head to glance at her. “Hey Nicole.”

Perceiving his weary look, a concerned Nicole asked, “Did something happen?”

With downcast eyes, Zachary’s sturdy body was drained with exhaustion. Rubbing his brows, he still talked in a

gentle way despite his weariness.

“Yeah, there’s indeed something.”

After that, she did not continue asking since she had known him for almost 4 years. Besides being a superior and

subordinate, they were also friends too. Nevertheless, Nicole had never crossed the line and asked Zachary about

his family affairs.

When he noticed Nicole’s silence, Zachary shifted her gaze toward her and said honestly, “Someone wants to

acquire F&M Apparel.”

A stunned Nicole lifted her head to look at him with her dark eyes tinged with shock. “Acquire F&M Apparel?”

F&M Apparel was one of the leading enterprises in the fashion industry worldwide. The business had been thriving

over these few years, so the price to acquire the business was definitely a huge amount too. As such, an ordinary

person would not be able to afford it.

“Yeah. It’s my father,” Zachary bitterly said.

In fact, this was the reason for his hustle over the past few days.

Nicole kind of understood the situation. He came from a wealthy family to begin with. Although she had no idea

what career Zachary’s father had pursued, she could tell he must be extremely wealthy.

Few years ago, she had briefly heard from Harvey Mann that the initial plan was to allow Zachary run the family

business, but Zachary was capable and eventually made his way to become the president of F&M Apparel. As such,

he had no intention of taking over the family business.

Zachary lowered his head to look at the silent Nicole and sighed softly. “Don’t worry, Nicole. I won’t let anything

happen to F&M Apparel.”
