Chapter 260

Despite it being involuntary, Nicole actually followed after Colton.

The banquet was held in the front garden of the Gardner Residence. Colton continued to hold her by her hand as they went through the garden and into the main building of the Gardner Residence.

He brought her up to the second floor where there was a big balcony decorated with small, blinking lights. The atmosphere there felt somewhat intimate to her.

The balcony just so happened to be located in a direction that allowed full view of the banquet. It was a nice place.

He only let go of her hand after they had reached the balcony. "You can stay here if you don't like it there. It is easier for you to take care of things as well, in case anything happens."

Nicole took a few steps forward and leaned against the railing of the balcony. Sweeping her eyes across the view downstairs, she couldn't help thinking that this place was indeed just nice for her.

Now that she was more relaxed being surrounded by silence, Nicole turned to look at Colton with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you, President Gardner."

He suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of her.

She was sandwiched between the railing behind and the man in front. As he closed in on her, she could clearly smell the scent of his skin.

Not knowing why he suddenly got close to her, Nicole started to panic and ask, "Is something wrong, President Gardner?"

He lowered his head, and his eyes happened to fall on the small mouth that opened and closed nervously. "Nicky." He sighed with his gaze fixated on her. "I haven't thanked you for last time."
