Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1351 A Chance Meeting

"Mr. Hofstead," said Nicole, greeting him with a smile out of courtesy.

Chloe's gaze upon the man changed; even her attitude toward him cooled noticeably. She merely nodded to him as a form of greeting.

Kendrick didn't notice the change in her attitude, though. His gaze was fixed on Nicole; he was smiling at her with such tenderness in his eyes as though it could spill over at any moment.

Taken aback, Nicole instinctively took a step back. The look in his eyes just now was different from usual—no, it could be described as peculiar.

Seeing her response, Kendrick realized that he had stepped out of line and was perhaps too hasty. Immediately, he turned his gaze away and said with a faint smile, "I'm here just to remind you both to hurry up so that we can grab something to eat quickly. I'm sure the researchers must be rather hungry by now." As soon as he finished his sentence, he turned around and left, his attitude totally different from when he first showed up.

Nicole frowned before tugging at Chloe's sleeve. She asked in a whisper, "Did you feel that there's something off about him?"

Chloe was pleased that Nicole finally realized something wasn't right about Kendrick's behavior.

The next moment, however, Nicole shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to continue dwelling on it. "Never mind, what matters most right now is the collaboration. I'll just keep my distance from him in the future," she hastily concluded before dragging Chloe to catch up with the group.
