Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time novel Chapter 19

Colton was unaffected at all by the fact that he was seen through, evidently with the smile on his face. Calmly, he uttered, "Can't be too careful when it's about the partnership of two companies. Besides, I'm only showing respect for F&M Apparel and Miss Lisa yourself."

Nicole was astounded by how the man before her complacently described his pretense as "being careful."

Zachary, on the other hand, could tell there was some sort of pre-established relationship between the two and smilingly said, "Since we're all here, why don't we find a seat and talk about the partnership between F&M Apparel and Gardner Corporation?"

Nicole nodded. The partnership with Gardner Corporation would only be beneficial, unsimilarto working with the associates of Mann Clothing Co., who were so easily persuaded. Although Gardner Corporation was clearly inferior to F&M Apparel in the clothing market, their advanced information technology was one of the most formidable in the field, which was also why F&M Apparel was willing to work hand-in-hand with Gardner Corporation.

Sitting by the conference table, Nicole put aside all her personal grudges as well as her bias against the Gardners, while Colton began the discussion of the partnership. The two remained assertive and opinionated with their thoughts regarding the work as every single word spoken was conveyed professionally. Meanwhile, Zachary looked at Nicole as she confidently and charmingly proposed her ideas.

"For the next season, F&M Apparel will be concentrating on casual wear, mainly on the refinement of the material used in manufacturing those products..." Whenever Nicole was talking about work, it was as if she was an entirely different person. She wouldn't miss even the most insignificant detail.

Out of nowhere, a man came over and whispered to Zachary, to which the latter revealed a stiff expression before turning to Nicole. "Nicole, something came up, and I gotta go tend to it. I shall leave the matter to you and President Gardner."

Nicole nodded. "Alright."

Zachary's departure left the remaining two on the wide couch. At that moment, Colton's eyes twitched and he grew silent as he looked at Nicole. He waited for Nicole to finish up the discussion and slowly said,

"Miss Lisa, I have a personal question for you. Do you have the time?"

Accordingly, she forced a smirk, clarifying, "Ah, that boy always wanted a father, and he might have overstepped his boundary seeing your dashing look. I hope you don't read too much into it."

For some reason, Colton grew enthralled by her hasty expression. Languidly, he opened his mouth as he looked at her with his ebony eyes, and with a voice so magnetic, he stated, "Well, I bought it, so I did the paternity test."

What?! Nicole was so stunned her entire body was petrified. Her jaw dropped as she fixed her unbelieving eyes on the man. She was thoroughly perplexed.

"Then... What was the result?"
