Chapter 1387 The Last Minute
Beryl lowered his head to look at the cheeky Wendy. He smiled and said nothing, indicating it was a sealed promise.
The two retraced their steps, then returned to their respective rooms to rest.
When Nicole woke up, she received news from Roxanna. At the sight of Quill Corporation having the intention for
further partnership, she was elated. She heard a little about Isaac ever since she arrived in Florend, so a
partnership would be a great help even if she were abroad.
Meanwhile, Chloe had prepared breakfast for Nicole. She was quite skilled in cooking, and now, she had her chance
to shine.
"What are you smiling about, Nicole? Did something good happen?" asked the chuckling Chloe when she noticed
Nicole's excitement.

"Chloe, this is a feast!"
"The baby is growing, after all. You need all the nourishment you can get." Chloe smiled sheepishly. After putting all
the food on the table, she sat opposite Nicole.
"Oh, right." Nicole was enjoying her breakfast when she suddenly remembered the good news she just saw. She
hastily passed her phone to Chloe and said, "I received news from Roxanna. Take a look. It's decent news."
When Chloe heard that, she took the phone in elation. As she scrolled through the chat, the smile on her face
widened. "If Isaac continues the partnership, we'll develop even faster. He has a lot of subsidiaries abroad, and
they're all doing quite well." She looked happily, finding it hard to suppress her excitement.
Nicole nodded when she heard that, agreeing wholeheartedly. Indeed, this would be a huge step forward!
"All right, hurry and eat your breakfast. You have to go to the research center later." She patted Chloe on the
shoulder as she took the phone. Then, she stuffed the cutlery into Chloe's hand.
Chloe would always forget to eat due to work. Her health would decline if this went on, so Nicole was determined to
look out for her. "You can't keep forgetting about meals as soon as you start working. You have to take your lunch
and dinner regularly at the research center. If not, you should work from home." She could not help but nag Chloe
a little, considering it a warning for her.
When Chloe heard that, she quietly lowered her head and ate. Nicole would always catch her red-handed when she
skipped meals. She had to do something so that it would not happen again.
"All right, I get it. I'll make sure to take my meals next time. I'll set an alarm to remind me to eat, okay?" Nicole's
relentless stare rendered her no choice but to completely give in. Upon seeing that, she hastily agreed. With a gaze
like that, she would panic just like anyone else.
"That's more like it." Nicole nodded in satisfaction, then lowered her head and began eating. After breakfast, she

By the looks of it, she would be busy for the next few days.
Half an hour later, Chloe grabbed her stuff and left in a hurry. After having spent time with her for the past few
days, Nicole noticed an adorable habit of hers.
Chloe would always leave at the last minute. She simply had to rush and panic even though she woke up early,
which meant she did not have to rush at all. Still, because of this, Nicole's impression of her became even livelier.
She had never gotten to know Chloe so closely before.
Nicole looked away and perused the report from yesterday, then sighed silently. Progress was a little slow these
days, and that was also why Chloe would come home so late from working overtime every day.
With a glance, she realized they were stuck with an awkward problem and might need about a month or so to fix it.
How should she explain this to Kendrick?
She looked at the clock on the wall. It's time for work.
