Chapter 458 Being Stepped On
F*ck you! Nicole thought and felt the need to do something. Otherwise, Colton would definitely take advantage of her. With that thought in mind, she ruthlessly raised her leg and stepped on him.
The pain made Colton wince and let go of her. If it weren’t for him trying to stay composed, he would surely grab his leg and howl in pain, as Nicole had used all her might when she stepped on him.
Seeing that he had released her, Nicole tidied herself and looked at him calmly. “Pardon me, President Gardner. I didn’t notice that your foot was there. Well then, I shall take my leave as I still have a lot of things to do,” she said.
As the back of his foot was still in pain, Colton took a sharp breath. “Last time, you hurt my manhood. Now, it’s my foot. Are you trying to disable me, Nicole?” His voice trembled as he spoke.
Recalling the moment when she accidentally poked Colton’s member with a needle as she heard his words, Nicole couldn’t help but blush. “If you know how to keep your distance from others, I’m sure that you will not be harmed,” she said without mercy and left the room while slamming the door loudly, signaling that she was not in a good mood.
After she left, Colton dropped his act and took off his shoe to look at his foot; the back of his foot was becoming reddish. It was fortunate that he had worn leather shoes—a good one too—otherwise, his foot would have been severely injured. The sharp pain was engraved in his mind when Nicole stepped on him.
When Tony saw that Nicole had left, he entered the room. Yet, he did not expect to see Colton sitting alone while grabbing his foot and looking at it. He stopped dead in his tracks and wondered if he should enter or not at this moment.
But before he could decide, Colton had already turned his head toward the door as he heard the door open. So, Tony could only brace himself and enter the room.
Even though Tony told himself that he would stay composed, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he saw the state Colton was in. It was hilarious to see him doing such an unfitting action when he was wearing a suit, and his hair was slicked back.
Colton was already upset as Nicole had stepped on him. Now that Tony was laughing at him, his mood was even gloomier.
As Tony was laughing his *ss off, he heard Colton’s cold voice. “If you keep on laughing, you can resign straight away.”
Even if the vaccine’s research was almost completed, the pandemic at Espad was still severe, and he still wanted to live. With that, Tony immediately stopped laughing and held back his laughter. Then, he looked at Colton’s foot and asked, “President Gardner, was it that you tried to harass her, but it backfired?”
Colton put his leg down and could still feel his foot throbbing in pain. Tony’s question made his expression darken, and he said in a deep voice, “It seems that you are quite unoccupied.”
Sensing the warning hidden in his words, Tony shut his mouth and quickly handed the document to Colton. “This is the information about the F&R Enterprise. Aren’t we going to cooperate with them? Take a look at it.”
Colton took the document, and his expression was serious, remembering that Nicole had told him Kohlberg Group was also trying to work with F&R Enterprise. The tycoon behind Aimee International, whose president was Emily, was Douglas, the President of F&R Enterprise; they were also husband and wife. So, he could guarantee that Nicole knew Douglas. Although Gardner Corporation wanted to work with F&R Enterprise, Colton had never considered using Nicole to get to his plan.
To him, relying on women was the most shameful thing one could ever do.
