Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 669

Nicole embraced Whitney, feeling a mixture of sadness and worry about what she had gone through. They had worked together for so many years, so she knew Whitney's temperament like the back of her hand.

She reassured hoarsely, "When there's a will, there's a way. Give it some thought. Maybe a better option will appear."

Whitney simply pursed her lips into a bleak smile and did not say anything in return.

Colton saw that Nicole and Whitney were catching up with each other, so he didn't bother them. Instead, he stood to the side, holding a glass of wine and taking a few sips leisurely.

"Colton?" A crisp female voice suddenly resonated behind him.

He turned around and saw that it was Sasha.

Today, Sasha wore a tight-fitting black bodysuit and tied her long hair into a high ponytail. She looked radiant and energetic, much different from her usual sweet and gentle appearance.

"Hey," he greeted faintly, glanced at her attire, and did not bother to initiate a conversation.

Nevertheless, Sasha did not find this awkward as she continued, "I'm leading the security team today. I didn't expect this event to be so grand."

He remained dispassionate as he held his wine glass and muttered, "Today is the trade fair, so there are quite a few people here."

She quickly noticed that he wasn't interested in conversing with her, so she sensibly chose to excuse herself. Then, she smiled and said with a slight wave, "I need to get going now. I need to see if there's anything unusual nearby."

As soon as she turned around, her smile disappeared, and she scowled. His attitude toward her was colder than she imagined. Now, they seemed to be strangers who knew each other's names at most.

She clenched her fists tightly at that train of thought. I'm pissed! I don't like this! We used to be so in love! How did we end up like this?!

But when Sasha thought of what she had arranged, she grinned cheerily. She sacrificed herself for Colton. Even if he did not love her anymore, he would not abandon her.

Inside a hotel room at the downtown hotel, Douglas frowned slightly as he looked at Felicia and Jansen. Then, his lips twitched slightly, and he asked respectfully, "Why are you here? Why do you want to see me?"

Felicia was so furious that she even wished that she could shoot lasers out of her eyes. Regardless, she gritted her teeth and hissed, "Why are we here?! You have the nerve to ask why we are here?!"

She took out a stack of photos from her purse and threw them at Douglas.

He looked down and saw that it was him and Whitney in the photos. Some of them were taken when he hugged her and walked out of the bar, while some were taken when they walked into the house together. Someone took all of the photos at quite a clear angle.
