Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1415 A Pair Of Fools

The two men simply stared at each other in silence for a few minutes.

Suddenly, Beryl slapped his forehead, exclaiming, "Oh! There's no way you could possibly know her. Right, so do you know that woman from the medical base who set up Nicole?"

He was indeed being foolish. Colton had only encountered Kendrick a handful of times; it was unlikely he would remember Kendrick's secretary.

Furthermore, there was nothing particularly memorable about the secretary that would make her stand out in Colton's memory.

"Kendrick appears to have a soft spot for this secretary. He confessed his feelings to her today, and she celebrated by treating her friends to an extravagant dinner. They were chatting boisterously in a private room, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the room wasn't soundproof."

Suddenly, Beryl couldn't help but find Wendy's reaction today amusing. He didn't even notice a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

To Colton, it seemed as though Beryl was recounting a humorous anecdote.

"So… that's it?"

Colton regarded Beryl as if he were observing a fool. With a smile like that… Had he fallen for that woman's friend or something?

"Do I have to remind you that we're adversaries? In the realm of female relationships, friendship reigns

supreme; you should consider giving up."

After some contemplation, Colton figured he had to say something.

This was a principle he had learned from Nicole. A shadow crossed Colton's face when his mind wandered to the woman.

Beryl was slightly taken aback as he glanced at Colton. He had been so engrossed in his own feelings that he hadn't noticed anything amiss with Colton.

"Colton, what's on your mind?"

Beryl wished he could knock some sense into Colton. When did Colton's judgment become so impaired? Or did he believe his little sister and those women were on the same level? NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Anyway, they brought up Nicole, and Kendrick's secretary confessed to framing her. That's all."

Beryl's voice turned into a murmur toward the end of the sentence when he saw how unresponsive Colton was.

"Alright, let's head back. We need to keep a close watch on Kendrick. Inform me if anything transpires. Wendy should lay low for a while," Colton nodded as he urged Beryl. He needed some solitude to think. Plus, it would be advantageous if this irritating individual departed swiftly.

Beryl pouted. Regardless, he had already said all he wanted to and was also exhausted from the day's events. So, he turned and left.

Yet, he had initially considered the pros and cons of telling Colton about his encounter with Nicole. Ultimately, he decided against it.

If he did, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Nicole, who was back in her apartment, received a message from Wendy. A smile appeared across her lips as hearing Wendy talk about Colton filled her with joy.

Chloe was preparing some items to help Nicole relax for the night, and she happened to catch sight of Nicole's smile.

She immediately surmised it had to be related to Colton.

"Nicole, the medical base will start getting hectic tomorrow. If anything comes up, remember to let me know. Don't bottle it up."

Chloe placed the milk in front of Nicole, leaned in close, and glanced at her chat with Wendy with a touch of envy. Nevertheless, that was swiftly replaced by contentment.

She had to admit that Wendy's personality was truly admirable. The girl was generous and vivacious. It was evident that her parents had done an excellent job raising her.

"Nicole, try to rest early tonight. If you don't, you might not get much sleep."

Chloe patted Nicole before walking out of the bedroom.

She also needed to rest early. The medical base was about to become busier, and she had to

strategize for the induction of research personnel. Of course, she would discuss the matter with Nicole once she had a preliminary plan.

Nicole sipped the milk beside her and settled into bed after bidding Wendy goodnight.

It was then that she suddenly realized that her morning sickness had significantly improved. In fact, she wasn't experiencing bouts of vomiting as frequently as before.
