Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 212

Nicole’s gaze lowered and she became lost in thought. She had been so preoccupied with the design sketch for the past few days that she had almost forgotten about him.

With her lips pursed, she thought for a few moments before asking, “How’s Zachary recently?”

She knew he was busy but because he didn’t bring it up, she didn’t ask him either.

“His situation is bad,” Whitney replied candidly.

Nicole was stunned for a moment after hearing her response, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. “He didn’t want to tell me anything, and it’s not for me to ask him as well.” She sighed at that.

Whitney took a look at Nicole, feeling complicated.

Though it was nicely said that Whitney came here from F&M Apparel to assist Nicole, that was not the case. Almost everything had changed for F&M by this point.

When Zachary’s father discovered that Zachary adored a woman with a child, he was furious. He refused to back down, and demanded Zachary return home to take over the family business.

But Zachary adamantly refused. He too, had a stubborn temper beneath his gentle appearance.

Following that, Benjamin forcibly acquired F&M Apparel’s shares, intending to drive Nicole out of the company. Zachary returned to F&M Apparel after learning of this and was still at odds with his father.

Zachary had taken on everything for Nicole and did not allow Whitney to reveal anything to her.

Otherwise, based on his concern for Nicole, he would appear in the country to explain everything for her and bring her back when she was previously defamed with the plagiarism issue.

But he could not do so, as he was really up to his neck with the troubles he faced in F&M Apparel.

Whitney looked profoundly at Nicole and decided not to tell her anything. Zachary must be concerned that Nicole would become concerned if she found out about it, and hence instructed Whitney not to divulge anything.

Whitney then attempted to console her by saying, “It’s okay, Miss Nicole. We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. Don’t think too much.”

“I’m not thinking too much. You’re the one who is speaking too much! Are you very free here?”

Nicole nonchalantly looked at Whitney and realized that the latter seemed to be more nosy after she came to the Gardner Corporation.

In response, Whitney quickly smiled and nodded. “Of course not! I’m just concerned about your health. Since you’re well, I’ll go out now. Take care!”

Whitney immediately dashed out after her words, fearing that Nicole would catch her.

Nicole, on the other hand, looked at Whitney who dashed out and smiled. Whitney didn’t change at all, she thought.

But Nicole was still worried about Zachary as she didn’t know how he was doing. The time he spent dealing with whatever he was preoccupied with indicated that the problem was more serious than she had suspected.
