Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1461 Makeup On

The workday at the medical base was drawing to a close. Nicole, deep in thought at home, finally decided to treat herself to a lavish dinner that evening.

One reason for this decision was the significant progress made at the medical base, having successfully surmounted a major obstacle. This achievement was certainly cause for celebration.

Another reason was the secured collaboration with Cure. With a long journey still ahead, it seemed like the perfect time to rejuvenate and replenish.

Nicole shared this idea with Chloe over the phone, to which Chloe readily agreed.

Nicole then rose from her seat and tidied up a bit. Catching her somewhat weary reflection in the mirror, she thought, why not indulge in some makeup this day?

With that, she gave a silent nod of approval, deciding to do just that.

She glanced at the clock, noting she had ample time, and began her makeup preparations.

Back at the base, Chloe read Nicole's message, a slight smile playing on her lips. Observing the diligent researchers around her, she made a decision. "Let's wrap up early today and take our usual weekend off tomorrow. Everyone deserves a good rest and a hearty meal."

Since everyone present was from Restrad, Chloe delivered the message in Restradian through a microphone.

Hearing this, many people began wrapping up their work with smiles on their faces. It was evident that this news had brightened their day.

Seeing this, Chloe turned to pack her belongings, planning to head home early to discuss dinner plans with Nicole.

"Chloe, is there some good news today?" A staff member, noticing Chloe's buoyant mood, couldn't resist asking.

She speculated that the only things that could elicit such joy from Chloe must be related to the base or Nicole. Since Nicole was due to give birth in three months, it couldn't be about Nicole, so it must be about the base.

The staff member was pleased with her astute deduction. She was confident in her guess, considering the recent hard work everyone had been putting in.

Spotting the staff member's eager anticipation, Chloe playfully put her index finger to her lips and said, "It's a secret. You'll find out in a few days."

With that, she turned and left with the day's reports. The remaining tasks would be handled by the dedicated base staff, so she didn't need to worry about them.

The staff member watched Chloe leave with admiration, not expecting Chloe to be so enigmatic.

Unaware of her newfound admirer, Chloe was eagerly anticipating her dinner with Nicole.

She rushed to the apartment and cheerfully announced her arrival, "Nicole, I'm back."

"Hey," Nicole responded from within the house.

Nicole was in her room, looking at herself in the mirror. The products she used were safe for pregnant women, and now, only lipstick remained.
