Chapter 32 Kissing Colton?
“Miss Lisa, what are you going to do with these thugs?” Colton placed his hands in his pockets and asked casually.
“Just do whatever you want in accordance with the law,” Nicole said coldly. They couldn’t kidnap her son and still expect her to easily forgive them, could they?
“Then, I will do as you ordered.” Colton nodded and walked to his desk, where he picked up a phone and whispered into the receiver.
A few minutes later, a few buff men came in from outside and immediately left with the thugs.
Nicole let out a sigh. Just as she was about to announce her departure, she was suddenly hit by a wave of dizziness and stumbled, her body falling forward.
Fortunately, Colton reacted quickly and caught her just in time. He barely managed to balance her by wrapping his arms around her waist.
Nicole could only see darkness in front of her and vaguely felt that someone had caught her, but couldn’t react immediately due to her nausea. As a result, she ended up nestling in Colton’s arms for a long time before she gradually recovered her senses.
Colton looked at the woman in his arms, her complexion pale and weak.
“Miss Lisa.” He called out softly.
Nicole blinked. Her mind was pitch black, and it took a long time before she slowly regained her sight.
When she saw herself lying in Colton’s arms, a flicker of shame quickly flashed across her pale face.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and entered. “President Gardner, the finances of this quarter are because of Miss Anderson’s…”
The voice stopped abruptly mid report, and the person looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. President Gardner is actually holding a woman in his arms?!
Seeing someone coming in, Nicole hurriedly stretched out her hand to push Colton away. Perhaps it was because her body was too weak or the floor was too slippery, she didn’t manage to push him away and slipped instead, habitually dragging Colton down along with her…
Afraid that Nicole would get injured, Colton wrapped one arm around her waist and protected her head with the other as he fell. With a muffled sound, Nicole only felt that her lips were hit by something heavy and a pang of pain on her teeth.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Colton’s striking face and felt the softness on her lips.
His scent rushed into her nostrils. Although Nicole was already a mother, she was still as naive as a child when it came to relationships. Her cheeks rapidly flushed red. She was even seen by someone else! How embarrassing!
“Sorry for interrupting, President Gardner.” The person who came in to report was good at reading between the lines. Seeing the situation in front of them, they immediately turned around and left with the report in their hands, remembering to close the door as well.
After Colton came back to his senses, he only felt a softness on his lips. The woman in his arms had a light scent, and without the artificial stench of perfume, he could clearly smell a faint fragrance on her body that felt a little familiar.
He propped himself up with his arms and pulled Nicole up with him before placing her on the sofa. After recovering himself, he said, “Miss Lisa, why don’t you take a break? You seem unwell.”
Nicole touched her cheek. In order to find her son, she didn’t sleep a wink last night, so she was naturally not in her right mind.
She nodded, slightly awkward, and her fingertips fell on her lips. Earlier, she must have kissed Colton. Thinking of this, her body heated up with warmth.
Not only that, but his employee seemed to have witnessed the scene.
Silence hung in the air. Nicole casually changed the topic in an embarrassed tone, saying, “President Gardner, thank you for your help on Hayden’s issue.”
An unbothered Colton said in a joking tone, “It’s okay. After all, the boy has also called me Dad before.”
