Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time novel Chapter 105

"By the way, are you free tonight, Nicole? I would like to buy you dinner. It's been a while since we last met, after all," Henry said immediately, taking a step toward her.

Seeing that the man was approaching her, Nicole took a step back out of habit, and after she did, she saw the hurt expression on his face.

She froze as she didn't think of this because she had acted almost instinctively. Nevertheless, she gave him a nod, thinking to herself, The nanny's home to take care of that rascal, so there's nothing to worry about, she thought.

"There's a nice restaurant nearby, and it's dinner time now. Why don't we go there?" she suggested. As she was feeling a little guilty now, she couldn't bring herself to turn him down.

"Sounds good." Henry nodded and followed behind her.

When they reached the restaurant, Henry realized that it was a high-end restaurant, and just a meal here could cost the monthly salary of a regular employee.

His chest tightened, and he felt unbearable upon seeing the prices on the menu. This is obviously a rip-off! he thought. Just one salad costs 388, not to mention other main dishes such as steak or others, which are all listed in four-figure prices.

Flipping open the menu, Nicole took a look at it and asked, "May I order a steak? The steak in this restaurant is pretty good."

She had been here once with Colton, and it was true that the steak was rather delicious.

Meanwhile, Henry took a look at the price of the steak, but for the sake of his dignity as a man, he tightened his jaw and nodded. "Sure, go ahead and order it." After Nicole had placed her order, he started, "Nicole, five years ago... did you really have a child with another man?"

Almost everyone in the company knew what happened in the Design Department today; the things Sabrina said had spread throughout the company like bushfire, and there wasn't a single person who didn't know. It was just that nobody dared to discuss it because of Colton's warning.

However, that didn't surprise Nicole. For this type of issue, even though everyone didn't dare to say it out loud, they were probably criticizing her behind her back.

Even though he was disgusted by her and thought of her as a wh*re, at the same time, he couldn't deny that she was the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel.

As for the promotion which Nicole mentioned, if he could really restore their relationship, there was no point for him to remain in the Gardner Corporation because he could simply choose any position in F&M Apparel then!

Shifting her eyes away, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I'm sorry, Henry."

Henry understood what she meant, but he was unwilling to give up. Seeing the guilt she had for himself, he decided to make use of this guilt, thinking that she would give in to him one day.

"It's okay. I understand. It's too random of me to bring this up so suddenly anyway," he said in a considerate tone.
