Chapter 304 Do You Like President Yates?
Although Bryan was a businessman, he was still a man whose words could be trusted. Queenie narrowed her eyes as she contemplated this matter. At that moment, she needed money, so she was willing to do nasty stuff if Bryan was willing to pay her for it. “Fine. I’d really appreciate your help, President Kohlberg,” she spoke demurely.
Bryan felt his insides burning with passion when he heard the woman’s cheeky tone. “Let’s do it again, you sl*tty woman,” he uttered as his hands started exploring her body. The room was silent for a while after that before a series of sweet, shrill screams filled the air.
Queenie knew that these men only found pleasure in making love with her because she was Colton’s woman. They would feel a boost of confidence knowing that they had the power to dominate her as well.
Unfortunately, Colton was the one who had never laid hands on her at all.
…
Zachary was gone by the time Nicole arrived home.
Whitney gazed at Nicole with a rather grim expression on her face, and she let out a sigh before speaking. “President Yates is gone,” Whitney uttered.
Nicole squeezed her brows together as she didn’t understand why he left without saying anything. He could have at least said goodbye before leaving.
Whitney knew what Nicole was thinking about, so she offered an explanation. “President Yates said that he wouldn’t be able to bring himself to leave if he had to say goodbye to you before going. So, he decided to leave while you weren’t around,” she said.
Her words left a bitter smile on Nicole’s face. “Oh. I got it,” she muttered as she ran her fingers through her messy fringe.
When Whitney heard Nicole’s flat and calm tone, she stepped forward and stopped in front of Nicole. “Don’t you feel anything, Nicole? President Yates was so nice to you—”
Nicole interrupted Whitney midway through her sentence. “Not all relationships are mutual, Whitney!” The remaining of Whitney’s words were caught in her throat, but she took a gulp and kept quiet for a moment before speaking again. “Don’t you like President Yates, Nicole?” Whitney asked while pressing her lips together.
Nicole didn’t know what to say when she looked at the woman in front of her. In the end, she simply let out a sigh before resting a hand on Whitney’s shoulder. “You know I had a child with another man, Whitney. I might not have married before, but I’m no longer a virgin. Zachary is a good guy, and he’s nice to me, but I can’t match up to his standards,” Nicole explained.
Whitney lowered her gaze. She knew about everything that Nicole had just told her. However, after all her years in the company as Nicole’s assistant, Whitney also witnessed all the sacrifices that Zachary made for Nicole. She thought Nicole and Zachary would get together eventually—she hadn’t expected things to change so drastically after returning to the country.
“You shouldn’t think too harshly of yourself, Nicole. You’re the best person I know,” Whitney replied firmly. It was true—Nicole had taken great care of Whitney throughout the years, and she had taught Whitney a lot about the business. Nicole spread her lips into a smile at first, but her movements came to a sudden halt as she seemed to recall something. “By the way, Whitney, now that I’ve quit my job at F&M Apparel, and now that you’re no longer my assistant, does that mean that you’re going back?”
Whitney pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest while she sank back onto the couch. The stern and serious tone she had used earlier was gone as a girlish and whiny tone replaced it. “Why should I stay in F&M Apparel when you’re no longer there? I handed my resignation letter to President Yates, and he approved it. So, I guess I’ll just stay in the country to accompany you,” Whitney muttered.
Nicole was amused by how loyal Whitney was—she couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard what Whitney said. “Deal. You can stay with me and be my assistant, and I’ll pay you your salary.”
“Of course. I’ve been with you for so long, Nicole. I promise I’ll be able to meet all your needs!” Whitney beamed in response. She didn’t specialize in fashion design, and had only ended up in F&M Apparel’s design department by chance. It had been three years since Whitney became Nicole’s assistant, and Nicole had kept Whitney around ever since day one.
Regardless of what happened, Nicole was always on Whitney’s side. Just that fact itself was enough to convince Whitney that she wanted to work for Nicole for the rest of her life!
