Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time novel Chapter 39

After Amber left, Nicole lowered her head and sorted out her design drafts. One of the drafts had a very visible footprint left on it, and it seemed that the footprint couldn't be erased at all.

Colton glanced down at the woman. Seeing her trying to erase the footprint from the design draft, he paused for a moment before saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Anderson. It was my fault for being negligent."

Nicole shook her head. She used to come across things that were even worse than this back when she worked as an assistant, so she didn't take it to heart. "It's okay, President Gardner. Perhaps your secretary was just trying to keep the ladies away because there are too many ladies trying to throw themselves at you," she replied half-jokingly.

Colton opened the door and invited Nicole in without responding to her remarks.

Shortly after Nicole entered Colton's office, Tony came in holding a cup of coffee. "Miss Lisa, I'm not too sure about your preferences, so I brought you a cup of drinking water. If there's anything you'd like to drink, please do tell me so that I can get it for you."

Seeing how polite the man before her was, Nicole took the cup from him with both hands. Putting on a faint smile, she shook her head, saying, "Oh, it's okay. Drinking water will do. Thank you."

After Tony left the office, Colton explained what had happened just now. "You said you'd be coming in the morning, but I didn't expect you to arrive so early. I had a meetingjust now."

Nicole looked up at the man before her, who was wearing a navy blue suit today. He wasn't wearing a necktie, and the top button of his shirt was undone, revealing his Adam's apple, which lent him a seductive charm as it bobbed up and down while he spoke.

Nicole nodded while laying the design drafts flat on the desk. "It was my fault for coming without notice. I had nothing to do at home, so I thought I might as well come here."

Colton quietly moved closer to her. Immediately, he smelled a faint and pleasant scent, which relaxed his originally tense mind a little.

Having finished herspeech, Nicole turned her head, wanting to listen to Colton's opinion. However, as they were too close to each other, her lips unexpectedly rubbed against the man's cheek when she turned her head.

Nicole only felt an electric current spreading from her lips all the way to her heart that made her entire body go limp. "S-Sorry," she apologized, her face blushing, and quickly sat back a little.

Colton lowered his head with a hidden flicker in his dark eyes. For some reason, the touch on his cheek just now made his heart itch. "It's okay," he replied impassively, having resumed a serious expression.
