    Chapter 39 Her Lips Rub Against His Cheek


    After Amber left, Nicole lowered her head and sorted out her design drafts. One of the drafts had a very


    visible footprint left on it, and it seemed that the footprint couldn’t be erased at all.


    Colton nced down at the woman. Seeing her trying to erase the footprint from the design draft, he


    paused for a moment before saying apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss Anderson. It was my fault for being


    negligent.”


    Nicole shook her head. She used toe across things that were even worse than this back when she


    worked as an assistant, so she didn’t take it to heart. “It’s okay, President Gardner. Perhaps your


    secretary was just trying to keep thedies away because there are too manydies trying to throw


    themselves at you,” she replied half-jokingly.

    Colton opened the door and invited Nicole in without responding to her remarks.


    Shortly after Nicole entered Colton’s office, Tony came in holding a cup of coffee. “Miss Lisa, I’m not too


    sure about your preferences, so I brought you a cup of drinking water. If there’s anything you’d like to


    drink, please do tell me so that I can get it for you.”


    Seeing how polite the man before her was, Nicole took the cup from him with both hands. Putting on a


    faint smile, she shook her head, saying, “Oh, it’s okay. Drinking water will do. Thank you.”


    After Tony left the office, Colton exined what had happened just now. “You said you’d being in


    the morning, but I didn’t expect you to arrive so early. I had a meeting just now.”


    Nicole looked up at the man before her, who was wearing a navy blue suit today. He wasn’t wearing a


    necktie, and the top button of his shirt was undone, revealing his Adam’s apple, which lent him a


    seductive charm as it bobbed up and down while he spoke.


    Nicole nodded whileying the design drafts t on the desk. “It was my fault foring without notice.


    I had nothing to do at home, so I thought I might as welle here.”


    “Not at all, Miss Anderson. Gardner Corporation is lucky to have such a diligent partner like you,”


    Colton replied.


    Both Nicole and Colton were sophisticated, so they exchanged nothing but polite remarks for a while


    out of courtesy. After ttering Colton a bit, Nicole came straight to the point by pointing at the design


    drafts, saying, “These are the drafts for the next summer season, as well as the fall and winter season,


    so I thought you might want to take a look. If these designs need improvements, I can revise them at


    home during the mid-winter holiday.”


    Sitting beside Nicole, Colton lowered his eyes to nce at the drafts.


    Nicole’s design was pretty dazzling, and it was mostly divided into two types. The first type was clothes


    for everyday wear, whereas the second type was clothes designed for fashion shows. The drafts were


    brief, but they had all the general features of her design outlined. Next to the drafts werements on


    the suitable fabric and the details, so one could say that these drafts were very detailed.


    Gardner Corporation had only dabbled in the clothing industry for five years. Despite being financially


    strong, its clothing brand’s reputation wasn’t as good as that of those old and established ones. Colton


    picked out the design of an evening dress and put it before Nicole, asking, “Miss Anderson, could you


    borate on this particr design?”


    Nicole lowered her head and bent down slightly to take a look at the design. Then, she immediately


    began, “This is designed ording to the Asians…” As she talked about work, the gentle smile on her


    face vanished at once and was reced by apetent look. Despite having no makeup on, she


    looked very assertive, which somehow inspired a feeling of trust.


    Colton quietly moved closer to her. Immediately, he smelled a faint and pleasant scent, which rxed


    his originally tense mind a little.


    Having finished her speech, Nicole turned her head, wanting to listen to Colton’s opinion. However, as


    they were too close to each other, her lips unexpectedly rubbed against the man’s cheek when she


    turned her head.


    Nicole only felt an electric current spreading from her lips all the way to her heart that made her entire


    body go limp. “S-Sorry,” she apologized, her face blushing, and quickly sat back a little.


    Colton lowered his head with a hidden flicker in his dark eyes. For some reason, the touch on his cheek


    just now made his heart itch. “It’s okay,” he replied impassively, having resumed a serious expression.
