Chapter 408 Zachary Yates Resigns
Hayden squinted and flashed a proud smile before he grinned at Nicole.
“That is what Grandma said, Mom,” he bragged. Nicole couldn’t do anything about how Anna was extremely doting to the boy. However, it indeed was a family dinner. Benjamin seemed to have gone abroad for some reason, and there were only Wendy, Colton, Anna, Hayden and herself at the table.
Nicole then reached out and tried to take Hayden from Colton’s arms, only for the boy to refuse.
His fists were holding onto Colton’s shirt as he turned the other way and demanded, “No. I want Dad to feed me in his arms!”
Nicole’s outstretched hands froze slightly. Just as she was about to say something, Colton reached out to embrace Hayden rather naturally.
Gentle amusement flashed in his dark eyes as he murmured, “Let me.”
Nicole didn’t stop him, but she began to wonder, Since when did such a smart child need someone to feed him? I hope he is not up to something again.
Despite his mother’s glare, Hayden didn’t say anything else as he enjoyed his dinner with Colton.
Nicole suddenly remembered something after the meal—Whitney hadn’t come along this time.
Brows pulled together, Nicole lowered her head and asked Hayden, “Where’s Whitney?”
“Miss Whitney has something to attend to,” he solemnly replied as he rolled his eyes.
Nicole fell into deep thought after hearing that. Whitney didn’t seem to have many friends in the country. After all, they had gone abroad together to grow their career.
Could she have gone to Douglas because of what happened last time?
Nicole had a deep frown when she considered the possibility.
However, she didn’t bring this up as the Gardners were here. She soon gave the excuse that she and Hayden were going for a walk before she brought him out with her lips tightly pursed.
She only asked him again after they went out. “Did Whitney say where she was going?”
Hayden had a brilliant glint in his round eyes as he pouted. “She went abroad. She is probably going to meet that person named Douglas.”
Nicole didn’t know how to react when she heard his words. It turned out her son even knew who Douglas was!
“Did Whitney tell you this?” she asked, her tone suspicious.
The boy instantly looked upset after he heard her question.
“I don’t need her to tell me something so trivial. I can find out everything using the computer.”
Hearing that, Nicole grumbled to herself, I almost forgot that my son is a famous hacker.
She soon felt a sense of helplessness. She could only imagine how it would turn out if Whitney really went to Douglas…
Pondering over it with her gaze low, Nicole eventually took out her phone to give Whitney a call when she couldn’t shake off the feeling that things were about to go wrong.
It only took a while before Whitney picked up the call. “Hey, Miss Nicole,” she greeted in a normal tone.
Nicole paused upon hearing that, but she soon went around the matter instead of directly asking Whitney about it.
“Whitney, are you outside the country?”
Whitney gave a short response in confirmation.
After realizing the reason Nicole had called her, she reassured her smilingly, “Don’t worry, Miss Nicole. I am not here for Douglas. Now that I know that he is living a good life, I won’t disturb him anymore. I am here because of F&M Apparel. President Yates wanted me to do something for him.”
Nicole felt her heart go back to where it was from her mouth when she heard Whitney’s reply. Even though Nicole knew how unfair it was for Whitney, it was a fact that Emily and Douglas had a good relationship. Whitney going to him would only add to her grief.
“Alright. Is something going on with Zach?”
Nicole was a little puzzled. She hadn’t had a lot of contact with Zachary these days. The last time they got in touch was two days ago, where he had asked if she was okay.
Their conversation ended soon after she told him that things were going well for her.
Whitney stopped talking for a second, but when she spoke again, her voice was heavy.
“Yeah. President Yates is resigning from F&M Apparel.”
Resign? Zach is resigning from the president post of F&M Apparel? This is rather abrupt!
