Chapter 276 All for You
A trace of shock flashed across Nicole’s face. She had always thought Zachary had been busy abroad because of family affairs. She didn’t expect it was because of herself.
She felt a little distressed as she remembered what Zachary had done to her earlier.
Whitney looked at Nicole’s lost expression and continued, “Miss Nicole, President Yates has repeatedly told me that I must not tell you about this. However, I think you have the right to know what he has done.”
Nicole did not expect Zachery could do so much for her.
“Thank you,” Nicole said in a low voice, a wry smile playing by her lips.
At that point, Whitney looked at Nicole and hesitated.
Nicole knew the woman wanted to say something, so she uttered, “Just say it.”
In the end, Whitney said, “President Yates returned here before he finished resolving the affairs in F&M Apparel because he heard Hayden’s news. He’s afraid. Miss Nicole, we all know how well he treats you.”
Nicole knew Zachary was kind to her. The man liked her and pursued her, but he would never put pressure on her.
Just like now, he was doing everything behind Nicole’s back, and he didn’t let her know what he had done.
Nicole lowered her eyes and stared at the floor for a while before she mumbled, “I see. Zachary is tired now. After he rests, I will have a good talk with him tomorrow.”
After speaking, she reached out and patted Whitney on the shoulder. “I may be busy these days, so please take care of Hayden for me.”
Whitney nodded. “Please be rest assured, Miss Nicole.”
Nicole did not sleep with Hayden that night because she was busy. She slept alone in the guest room.
Because of the Gardner Family’s affair, she could hardly sleep. All she thought about was this matter.
Nicole lay on the bed as she stared at the ceiling, her mind in a mess.
Colton… Zachary…
…
Near dawn, Nicole was woken up by a nightmare. She opened her eyes in shock, and a layer of cold sweat covered her forehead.
She sat on the bed, gasping for breath. She just dreamed that someone stole Hayden away.
She pursed her lips. Too many things had happened in the past few days, causing her mind to be filled with messy thoughts.
She looked down at her phone and found it was still early, at 5.00AM.
However, she couldn’t fall asleep after being woken up by the nightmare.
So, Nicole simply got up, changed her clothes, and prepared to go downstairs.
Passing through the corridor, she saw a light in the study. She paused and walked over.
The study door was not closed, and a small gap was there. In front of the mahogany table sat Zachary, his back ramrod straight.
Zachary held the cell phone in one hand while rubbing the bridge of his nose with the other.
“Okay. You must keep an eye on this matter. Let them contact me if there’s any shareholder who wants to sell. I will offer 20% more than my father’s price. Don’t worry, I have some savings. If I don’t, I’ll borrow it from James.”
Nicole heard everything clearly. She also knew James Lopez. He was a loan shark. Although Zachary knew the man, she doubted Zachary would live in peace after he owed James money.
Nicole pushed the door open and entered. When Zachary saw her coming in, he lowered his voice and said to the person on the other end of the line, “I’m busy now. I’ll talk to you later; I’ll hang up now.”
After he finished speaking, he pressed the end button.
After that, he raised his head to look at Nicole. The tired expression on his face had subsided, and he said warmly, “Nicole, you’re awake rather early today.”
“Yes. Haven’t you slept yet?” Nicole’s gaze fell on the coffee on the table.
Zachary stood up and explained, “I went to bed early and got up early. I had nothing to do, so I came here to deal with things.”
Nicole had a dark expression and her gaze was fixed on him.
Zachary’s expression stiffened. Knowing she had heard him earlier, Zachary sighed. “So, you have heard it all.”
“Yes.” Nicole nodded. “Zach, James is a loan shark. Once you borrow money, it is difficult to pay him back!”
