Chapter 388 Bothered by Something Mentally

When Emily looked at Nicole and noticed the bitter look on her face, she gave up the idea of persuading Nicole to

return. She then nodded and pursed her lips in an indifferent manner. Meanwhile, Nicole pulled herself together and

seized Whitney’s arm to introduce her to Emily. “Em, meet my assistant, Whitney Campbell. Whitney, this is Aimee

International’s president, Emily Phoenix.”

 

 

 

While Emily had long noticed Whitney’s presence, she couldn’t help but find the latter’s face familiar like she had

seen her before. Nevertheless, she quickly disagreed with that idea, thinking her good memory would have allowed

her to recall their last encounter if they had met before. In spite of that, Emily still reacted politely to Whitney out of

respect for Nicole. “Nice to meet you.”

Whitney nodded and replied with an affirmative hum. “Nice to meet you too.”

“By the way, how is Lucy doing?” After talking about business, the ladies began to discuss their personal lives.

When Emily heard her daughter’s name mentioned, a heartwarming smile appeared on her face. She then nodded

and replied, “She is fine. It’s just that she always catches a cold when the seasons change, but fortunately, Douglas

took care of her well this time when the weather turned cold in the past few days. So, she is in good health.”

“Yeah, as the kid grows older, her immunity system gets stronger too. So, don’t worry about it too much.”

In the meantime, Whitney felt as if her blood froze around her body when she heard the other two ladies talk about

Douglas. At that moment, she finally understood why Emily’s voice sounded so familiar because she was the one

who answered Douglas’ call back then.

“I’m not worried about Lucy. After all, Douglas said he would take good care of her so she won’t fall sick later.”

Emily looked as if her heart melted when she talked about Douglas.

On the other hand, Nicole praised Douglas for his thoughtfulness after hearing what he had done for Lucy from

Emily. “Douglas is such a kind and thoughtful man. I have no doubt he will treat you right and make you the luckiest

woman in the world.”

Emily responded with a smile when she heard the way Nicole complimented Douglas. She then grinned and said,

“Well, actually, I didn’t think I’d meet such a good man like him ever.”

Meanwhile, Whitney, who was listening to their conversation, felt chills running down her spine, her blood freezing

in every vessel within her body. As Nicole was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of Whitney’s unusual

expression from the corner of her eye. Thus, she seized her hand before she was shocked to find how cold it was,

asking her in a concerned manner, “Are you alright, Whitney?”

 

Upon hearing Nicole’s voice, Whitney began to pull herself together from her disturbing thoughts. She then blinked

and reacted with a brittle smile. “I-I’m fine.”

However, having known Whitney for a long time, Nicole was able to instantly tell that something was wrong with her

assistant. Staring at the former’s pale face, she asked, “Are you feeling unwell or something?”

Needless to say, Whitney could tell that her pale expression must have given her away, so she decided that she

might as well make the best out of Nicole’s concern to cover up her actual feelings. “Yeah, I’m having a gastric

condition, which I believe must have been something I ate earlier.” She then stood up and said, “Miss Nicole, please

enjoy your time with Miss Phoenix without me. I’m afraid I need to excuse myself right now.”

Sensing something very wrong with Whitney, Nicole was bewildered by her reaction. She then paused and took a

second to think before making a suggestion. “Perhaps I could give you a ride back home.”

Nevertheless, Whitney immediately rejected Nicole’s offer. “It’s okay, I’m good. I’ll find my own transport back, and

I’ll be fine after some rest.” She turned around and walked away as soon as she finished her words, giving Nicole no

chance to offer her help.

At the same time, Emily couldn’t help but find it strange to see Whitney leaving in a hurry as she knitted her

eyebrows and gazed at Nicole. “It seems to me that she is bothered by something mentally rather than her gastric

condition.”
