Chapter 1338 Having a Meal Together

Upon seeing Nicole's surprised expression, Kendrick understood why she was surprised.

He couldn't blame her for being surprised. Someone like him wouldn't normally come to a place like this to eat, but he just happened to see a familiar figure passing by earlier.

Initially, he thought he was mistaken, but he didn't want to take the chance, so he stopped the car. That was when he realized he hadn't been mistaken—the person inside was indeed Nicole. So, he came in.

"Miss Anderson, I saw you outside. I thought I might have been mistaken, but I didn't expect to actually find you here."

Kendrick offered a polite smile.

Nicole felt a bit awkward. After all, they hadn't reached the point of being so familiar yet. However, since they were going to be partners, it was only natural to greet each other. "What a coincidence indeed," she said as she stood up.

Even when she stood up, she could barely reach his shoulder.

Only then did she realize he was surprisingly tall. He should be about the same height as Colton.

Nicole silently thought about it and suddenly realized that she was overthinking things. Why was she thinking about that? She quickly shook her head and forced herself to forget about Colton.

"Miss Anderson, if you don't mind, how about we have a meal together?"

At the sight of Nicole's odd expression, Kendrick pretended not to notice and suggested instead.

Nicole was taken aback by the proposal. She was about to refuse when he preemptively interrupted her.

"Consider it an opportunity to discuss the details of our collaboration. The proposal you gave me earlier was rather simple. We should discuss it in more detail since it would be better for all parties."

Kendrick saw that Nicole was about to speak, so he spoke first.

She hesitated and glanced at Chloe beside her, wanting to get Chloe's opinion.

When Chloe saw Kendrick beside them, she understood that he must have come alone today. She nodded discreetly.

After seeing this, Nicole smiled at Kendrick and replied, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Hofstead."

Before her words even finished, Kendrick had gone to the front desk to settle the bill for Nicole's meal.

"Mr. Hofstead, I should be the one paying for this meal. After all, we ordered the meals. It's not appropriate for you to pay."

Nicole quickly stopped Kendrick and handed the money over.

Kendrick blinked while looking at the petite figure in front of him. His thoughts momentarily went back to his childhood.

Back then, she used to protect him like this.

Upon seeing that Kendrick didn't insist on paying, Nicole felt relieved, which made her feel better.
