Chapter 211 Embarrassed
When Colton heard that, he smiled. He liked how Nicole stared at him in a daze earlier.
He laughed deeply before raising his gaze and looking at her. With a tinge of teasing in his gaze, he said thoughtfully, “True. You’ve seen my body before when you came to my house.”
His tone of voice was decent, but the contents of his words would obviously make one’s imagination run wild.
I did see his body, but it was only by chance!
Nicole’s ears were burning hot as she remembered the incident. Truth was, each muscle on his naked, muscular body was flawless.
Furthermore, she saw him as he walked out of his bath, with water droplets on his flawless body. When she thought of that image, she couldn’t help but feel her heart racing.
“That was really accidental,” she quickly explained.
With a bright gaze, Colton looked at the woman who was usually calm and confident but was now flustered. She looked adorable in this manner.
“Well, I don’t mind it too,” he leisurely responded.
Nicole was left speechless. He was always this indecent!
Looking at her embarrassed expression, he decided to change the subject. “My cousin is a doctor with good grades. He’ll be here for Wendy’s birthday. My mother will probably ask him to perform the DNA test for me and Hayden, so you don’t need to be worried.”
Nicole nodded and tried to keep her face expressionless. Her earlier behavior was extremely embarrassing. She then took a step back to distance herself from him before saying, “I’ll leave it to you, then. I’ll be off now.”
At that, Nicole quickly walked away without waiting for his response.
When Colton looked at her escaping form, his smile widened.
Meanwhile, Nicole was surprised to find her heart racing after leaving Colton’s office. When did she become so pure and innocent that even Colton’s flirting words could make her nervous?
She tried her best to suppress her panic and racing heart before returning to the Design Department.
Whitney noticed Nicole’s panicky demeanor when she returned. Worried that something had happened, Whitney quickly followed Nicole inside.
The first thing Nicole did when she returned to her office was to gulp down the entire glass of water on the table. After the cool water ran down her throat, she finally calmed down.
Whitney, on the other hand, was taken aback when she saw Nicole gulping down the water as she entered.
Whitney then shut the door and approached Nicole, her gaze fixed on her. Finally, she came across something unusual—Nicole’s ears were flaming red!
That caused Whitney’s eyes to widen, and she was filled with disbelief. She continued to stare at Nicole before asking, “Miss Nicole, didn’t you just come from Colton’s office?”
Nicole nodded and tried to suppress her galloping heart. When she raised her head, she saw Whitney looking at her strangely. Hence, she frowned and asked, “Yeap. What’s the matter?”
Whitney’s mouth fell wide open when she heard that. With her face filled with surprise, she mumbled, “Miss Nicole, what… What exactly did you do in his office that made you blush? Don’t tell me that you and him…”
Looking at her pretentious manner, Nicole could almost guess what Whitney was thinking. Then, Nicole reached out and pinched Whitney on the waist.
A loud yell immediately resonated throughout the office.
Whitney rubbed her waist and looked aggrievedly at Nicole while complaining, “Miss Nicole, that was so harsh!”
Nicole simply sneered in response. “Keep those filthy thoughts out of your head!”
Still rubbing her waist, Whitney said softly, “I’m only asking on President Yates’ behalf. After all, he has adored you for so long.”
Nicole’s sneer faded when Zachary was mentioned.
Ever since she came back, she had not seen Zachary in a long time. There was not even a phone call from him.
In the past, he used to call her at least once a week when she wasn’t with him.
