    Chapter 52 An Unwee Visitor


    Gardner Corporation was situated in the center of the city, with Century Square located next to it.


    On the top floor of a restaurant in Century Square, Nicole and Colton were sitting next to each other.


    Colton had led Nicole into a private room, which boasted a nice view despite its small space; itsrge


    French window allowed one to see most of the downtown area at a nce. “What would you like to eat,


    Miss Anderson?” Colton politely handed the menu to Nicole.


    Nicole nced at the menu before ordering a sd for herself.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Colton smiled before ordering another main course and telling the waiter to prepare the dishes. When


    there were only the two of them left in the private room, he finally said, “Miss Anderson, how do you


    feel on your first day at Gardner Corporation?”


    With a faint smile on her lips, Nicole replied casually out of courtesy, “Not bad.”


    Knowing that she had only said so out of courtesy, Colton said frankly, “Miss Anderson, if you’re


    dissatisfied with anything, you may tell me directly.”


    Nicole gave a light chuckle before looking up at the man. As her gaze fell upon him, she suddenly


    asked, “President Gardner, there’s one thing that I’ve been curious about. Do you mind if I ask?”


    Smiling, Colton nodded and replied in a husky voice, “You’re wondering why Gardner Corporation


    decided to engage in the clothing industry?”


    As expected, it saves time and energy to speak to a smart person. He knows what I want to ask without


    me having to voice my question. Nicole nodded.


    Gardner Corporation started up as an inte technologypany. It owned an entire building in the


    center of the city, but only a few floors of the building were dedicated to the clothing industry, for the


    company ced greater emphasis on inte technology. When it came to the inte technology


    industry, thepany was ranked among the best in the world, which brought the man before Nicole a


    net worth of at least hundreds of billions.


    He would’ve been able to make a fortune by relying on inte technology alone, so why did he have


    to dabble in the clothing industry which he had never taken part in? thought Nicole to herself. She


    nodded and said modestly, “It’s okay if you don’t wish to talk about it. I’m just asking out of curiosity.”


    Colton leaned back slightly in his seat while exuding a graceful air. He exined, “My mother was a


    fashion designer during her lifetime, but she gave up her career for my father. I’ve always wanted to


    realize this dream of hers.”


    Despite his brief exnation, Nicole was surprised; she didn’t expect this to be the reason. “Forgive me


    for asking such an impertinent question,” she said apologetically.


    Colton gave a deep chuckle with a rxed look in his eyes. “This isn’t a secret, anyway.”


    The two then exchanged some polite remarks about their daily lives. After the waiter served the dishes,


    Colton seemed to think of something all of a sudden. Looking at Nicole, he said, “Miss Anderson, this is


    probably your first time working with us in the country. If you run into any problems, please tell me


    directly.” He paused for a moment before adding, “It doesn’t necessarily have to be work-rted.


    Anything, really.”


    Nicole thought the man had only said so out of kindness, so she thanked him without saying anything


    else.


    Colton didn’t say anything else either.


    The two then discussed the next season’s fashion trends at the dining table. It was apparent that


    Colton took this coboration very seriously, for he knew every step very well.


    The two went back after lunch, only to run into an unwee visitor at thepany’s entrance. It was


    Joseph.


    Nicole looked at the man standing at thepany’s entrance. Joseph was good-looking and dressed


    like a person of some worth, so he attracted quite a lot of attention as he stood there.


    Joseph had wanted to enter thepany right away to look for Nicole, but he was stopped at the front


    desk because he didn’t make an appointment with her. Therefore, he began to fall back on his old trick


    of waiting for Nicole at the entrance. After all, it was fine as long as he managed to meet Nicole. To his


    surprise, however, not only did he get to meet Nicole this time, but he also met Colton!
