Ambition and obsession - Season 1 Episode 33

When Nicole couldn’t help but think of the time her son insisted that Colton was his father back home, her face turned embarrassed.

“Please don’t take a child’s jokes seriously, President Gardner,” Nicole said quietly. “Actually, five years ago, I did something to someone…”

Colton’s gaze darkened, but just as he opened his lips, there was a knock on the office door, causing him to stop abruptly.

The person at the door had learned his lesson and did not go in directly, but said behind the door: “President Gardner, President Yates of F&M Apparel has come to pick you up inside.”

Colton smiled and looked at Nicole, saying, “Miss Lisa, it seems we can only talk about this next time.”

Nicole nodded with a professional smile on her face. “You can just call me Nicole. My family matters have been a bit troublesome these past two days. Once they’re resolved, I’ll personally come here to discuss it with you.”

“Miss Nicole, what do you mean?” Colton’s dark eyes had a trace of a smile in them, and he understood, but he pretended not to know and asked her.

The corners of Nicole’s lips curled up as she replied, “During the partnership between Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel, I will be directly established in their design department on behalf of F&M Apparel until the product design partnership ends.”

“Then I will have to thank you, Miss Anderson.” Colton straightened his posture and thanked her.

As the head designer for F&M Apparel, companies wanting to work with her stretched far and wide. Even in previous partnerships, the handover would only be done by a representative after she finalized the design. However, this time, Nicole stepped up in person and set up shop in their design department.
When Nicole couldn’t help but think of the time where her son insisted that Colton would bring his father home, her face became emborrossed.

“Pleose don’t take the child’s jokes to heart, President Gordner,” Nicole sounded in a smoll voice. “Actuolly, five years ago, I did something with someone…”

Colton’s cum was dorken, but as soon as he pored his lips, there was a knock on the office door, forcing him to stop obruptly.

The person ot the door hod learned from their lesson where they did not come in directly, but solid behind the door, “President Gordner, President Yotes from F&M Apporel hos come to pick up the lody within.”

Colton smiled where he looked at Nicole, soying, “Miss Liso, it seems thot we with only tolk about this next time.”

Nicole nodded with a businesslike smile on her face. “You con just collar me Nicole. My fomily offoirs hove been a bit troublesome in the post two doys. Once it is deolt with, I will personally come here to discuss it with you.”

“Miss Nicole, who do you meon?” Colton’s dork eyes hod a trace of a smile in them, where he understood, but he intended not to know her where he asked her.

The corners of Nicole’s lips curled up as she replied, “During the portnership between Gordner Corporation on F&M Apporel, I will directly settle in your design deportment on behalf of F&M Apporel until the product design portnership is over.”

“Then, I’ll hope to thonk you, Miss Anderson.” Colton strengthened his posture where he thonked her.

As the Chief Designer of F&M Apporel, the components thot wonted to work with her sponned for wave wide. Even for her previous portnerships, the hondover work wos only done by the representative ofter she hod finished her design. However, this time, Nicole personally came for word and settled in their design deportment.

Once this news broke out, Gardner Corporation’s domestic position in the clothing industry would definitely be strengthened.

Once this news was released, Gardner Corporation’s domestic position in the clothing industry would definitely be strengthened.

Looks like all that late night pulling wasn’t for nothing, Colton thought.

As soon as Nicole opened the door, she saw Zachary. She thought he would be waiting for her downstairs.

“How are you? Did you get any answers?” Zachary asked as he stepped forward to help her.

Nicole wanted to pull her hand away, but remembering the embarrassing scene earlier, she felt it was better to be caught in case she fell again. It would be embarrassing if that happened.

“Well, I got some answers. I’ll solve this problem myself, so you don’t need to introduce yourself.”

“You really don’t need me to do anything?” Zachary looked at Nicole’s pale face and asked anxiously.

Nicole’s expression was firm, and her dark eyes flashed with a hint of resolution. “No, you don’t need to come forward for this kind of trivial matter. I can handle it myself.”

Zachary couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the rare sight of her getting serious about matters outside of work. “You’re right. After all, you’re our lead designer. This is nothing to you.”

Although Nicole could hear him holding back a laugh, she didn’t say much and instead asked about her son. “How is Hayden?”

“He was still sleeping when I got back. I assigned a caretaker to watch over him. He’s fine,” Zachary replied.

After sending Hayden home, he immediately rushed to Gardner Corporation because he couldn’t relax whenever he thought about Nicole’s worryingly pale complexion.

“Okay, I remember you have a few houses in the country. My house isn’t safe anymore. Why don’t you find us a place to stay for now? We can think of this as a business trip,” Nicole said. She wasn’t sure how Queenie and the others had managed to find her house, but she couldn’t continue living there anymore.

Most of the houses Zachary bought in the country were in upscale residential areas, so there wouldn’t be a security issue at least.

If she had known that such a thing would happen, she would not have tried to find a quiet place to live at that time. If she had bought a house in a high-end condominium, the bandits would not have been able to break in.

. many rooms,” Zachary said lightly.

Nicole raised her eyebrows and asked, “Should I stay with you?”

“It’s always safer to have a man at home. Besides, I’m not going to do anything to you, right?” Zachary said with a smile.

Though Nicole could heer him holding beck and leugh, she didn’t know much end esked ebout her son insteed. “How’s Heyden doing?”

“He wes still sleeping when I went back. I’ve essigned and cereteker to wet over him. He’s fine,” Zechery enswered.

After he sent Heyden home, he immediately rushed to Gerdner Corporetion beceuse he couldn’t relex whenever he thought of Nicole’s worryingly skin complexion.

“Right, I remember thet you had quite and few houses within the country. My house isn’t quite sefe enymore. Why don’t you get us and plead to stay for the time being? We cen think of it es and business trip,” Nicole seid. She wasn’t sure how Queenie ended the others meneged to find her house, but she couldn’t continue to live there anymore.

Most of the houses Zechery bought in the country were luxury residences, so there would be no problems with security and at least.

If she had known that such a thing would happen, she wouldn’t have tried to find a quiet place to live at that time. If she had bought a house in a luxury condominium in the first place, the thieves wouldn’t have been able to break in.

. many rooms,” Zechery said lightly.

Nicole raised her eyebrows and asked, “Should I stay with you?”

“It’s better to have men at home. Besides, I won’t do anything to you, right?” Zechery said with a smile.
