Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 940 Get Under the Sheets And… Talk

Zachary stood outside the door and reminded Nicole in a warm voice, "Nicole, we have to visit Ms. Betty. Come out when you're ready, okay?"

Hearing that, Nicole stretched out her hand and pushed Colton away before she rolled off the bed. Glaring at him, she hissed, "Go hide in the toilet."

However, Colton continued to lean against the bed. All he did was brush his fingers across his hair as he smilingly asked, "Why do I have to hide? It is not like I did something shameful."

He was right. They didn't do anything after all. But how was she supposed to tell Zachary that she and Colton had only innocently shared a bed and slept?

Would anyone even believe that?

"Scram if you don't want to hide," she ordered under her breath.

She would not have opened the door for Colton last night if she knew she would end up in this dilemma now.

Colton narrowed his eyes slightly when he thought about how Nicole was saying this because she cared about how Zachary felt.

Placing his palms on her cheeks, he looked at her with narrowed eyes and asked, "Are you worried that he would find out about our relationship?"

"Nothing is going on between you and me!" Nicole warned with a frown on her face.

Zachary seemed to have realized that something was going on in the room. His voice went low when he asked, "Nicole? Did something happen?"

Nicole quickly raised her voice slightly and denied it. "Nope! I just woke up, Zach. I'll need to freshen up a bit. I'll go to you after I'm done preparing."

He hesitated for a second upon hearing that, but he soon replied, "Okay, I got it. Go ahead and get ready. I will wait for you in the lobby."

Nicole only hummed in response. When she noticed that she couldn't hear anything from outside after a long time, she finally let out a shallow breath.

Seeing her relax, Colton scooted over slyly and purred, "Nicky, you're making me feel like we are committing adultery."

She rolled her eyes and pushed him away before fixing her clothes. "Didn't you rush here overnight, President Gardner? Rest well. Don't tire yourself out," she stated.

Just as she was about to go to the bathroom and freshen up, someone held onto her wrist. The strong traction caught her off-guard for a moment and she was hurled back to the bed.

She could feel the heat of that hard torso as she was imprisoned in the man's arms. She could clearly smell the scent of his body.

"But Nicky, I came all the way here overnight for you," Colton drawled in a low voice. His warm breath and words that tickled her ear were thick with ambiguity.
