Chapter 444 I’m Pregnant
Nicole pressed her lips together without saying anything. She simply threw the documents she had received on Colton’s table. “I thought about it, and I don’t think five physical stores are enough.
Now that we have Alice as our ambassador and Aimee International is expanding the brand overseas, we should invest more into this. I don’t think it’s too much to have ten physical stores,” she declared.
When Colton saw how formally Nicole acted, he couldn’t help but smirk. “That’s a good point, Nicole. Let’s take all of the stores listed here, then,” he agreed with a nod. He didn’t have anything against Nicole’s idea.
When Nicole saw the smile on Colton’s face, she couldn’t help but feel like she had just thrown a punch against a pile of cotton wool. Her actions didn’t seem to have an impact on him at all.
Since Colton had agreed to her idea, she figured there wasn’t anything else they had to discuss. She was about to leave when she heard Tony’s voice coming from outside the door. “There’s still someone else inside President Colton’s office, Miss Queenie. Now’s not a good time,” Tony said firmly.
“I want to see Colton! I have important matters to talk to him about. You have no right to stop me!” Queenie’s shouts were so loud that even the two people in the room could hear her clearly.
Colton couldn’t help but frown when he heard the woman’s voice. When Nicole opened the door, she wasn’t surprised to see Queenie standing outside.
The moment Queenie saw Nicole, Queenie looked at Nicole as if Nicole was a life buoy being thrown at her while she was in the middle of the ocean. Queenie hastily held onto Nicole’s sleeve while wailing. “Let me go in, Nicole. I have important matters to talk to Colton about.”
When Nicole saw the woman in front of her, she simply frowned in disgust before taking a few steps back and fixing the sleeve that Queenie’s grip had crumpled. On the other hand, Queenie continued protesting and throwing her limbs around.
“Colton. Colton! I have some really important matters to talk to you about. I’ll leave after I’m done and won’t cause any trouble. If you don’t trust me, you can get Nicole to wait here as well,” Queenie cried.
Colton felt his head pounding at the sound of the woman’s voice. He knitted his brows in annoyance as he pressed his fingers against his temples. “Let her in,” he finally said to Tony. Tony only loosened his grip on Queenie after hearing Colton’s orders. The moment Queenie stepped in, she ran excitedly toward Colton’s table.
She fixed her bright gaze directly on the man and looked like she was starstruck. Colton felt disgusted to see the look on her face. “What is it?” he responded flatly.
Nicole had intended to leave directly, but she only managed to take one step before Queenie called out for her. “Since you’re here, you should stay, Nicole. I’m afraid Colton might not trust me otherwise,” Queenie voiced.
Nicole stopped in her spot and raised an eyebrow before gazing at her sister. After Colton’s experience of being drugged by Queenie, he was probably extra vigilant whenever he was around her. Regardless, Nicole simply stood around with her arms crossed. Deep down, she wanted to see what Queenie was trying to do.
Queenie didn’t seem to mind that Nicole was standing at the door—she turned her gaze back to look at Colton lovingly. Then, with a bashful voice, she explained her reason for being there.
“I’m pregnant, Colton.” The room was filled with pin-drop silence after Queenie finished her sentence. Colton wore a grim frown on his face while Nicole looked like she was enjoying a blockbuster movie.
After a long period of silence, Colton finally parted his lips to speak. “Did you just say that you’re pregnant?”
Queenie nodded with a smile. “Yeah. I got pregnant after that time we did it, Colton. I went for a checkup at the hospital, and they said that our child was already more than a month old. So the timing fits perfectly.”
Queenie faked a rather shy expression as she spoke. Nicole knew everything about what had happened with the Gardners previously, so she knew that Queenie had slept with the two guards. Nicole was sure that the child didn’t belong to Colton.
