NovelEnglishChapter 33 Stay In My House
When Nicole couldn’t help but think of the time where her son insisted that Colton was his father at
home, her face turned embarrassed.
“Please don’t take a child’s jokes to heart, President Gardner,” Nicole said in a small voice. “Actually,
five years ago, I did something with someone…”
Colton’s gaze darkened, but as soon as he parted his lips, there was a knock on the office door,
causing him to stop abruptly.
The person at the door had learned from their lesson and did not come in directly, but said behind the
door, “President Gardner, President Yates from F&M Apparel has come to pick up the lady inside.”
Colton smiled and looked at Nicole, saying, “Miss Lisa, it seems that we can only talk about this next
time.”
Nicole nodded with a businesslike smile on her face. “You can just call me Nicole. My family affairs
have been a bit troublesome in the past two days. Once it is dealt with, I will personally come here to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdiscuss it with you.”
“Miss Nicole, what do you mean?” Colton’s dark eyes had a trace of a smile in them, and he
understood, but he pretended not to know and asked her.
The corners of Nicole’s lips curled up as she replied, “During the partnership between Gardner
Corporation and F&M Apparel, I will directly settle in your design department on behalf of F&M Apparel
until the product design partnership is over.”
“Then, I’ll have to thank you, Miss Anderson.” Colton straightened his posture and thanked her.
As the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, the companies that wanted to work with her spanned far and
wide. Even for her previous partnerships, the handover work was only done by a representative after
she had finished her design. However, this time, Nicole personally came forward and settled in their
design department.
Once this news broke out, Gardner Corporation’s domestic position in the clothing industry would
definitely be strengthened.
It seems that the all-nighter I pulled wasn’t in vain, Colton thought.
As soon as Nicole opened the door, she saw Zachary. She had thought he would wait for her
downstairs.
“How’s it going? Did you get any answers?” Zachary asked as he stepped forward to help her.
Nicole wanted to withdraw her hand, but as she recalled the embarrassing scene earlier, she felt that it
was better to be supported, in case she fell again. It would be embarrassing if that happened.
“Well, I did get some answers. I’ll solve this issue by myself, so you don’t have to come forward.”
“You really don’t need me to do anything?” Zachary looked at Nicole’s pale face and asked anxiously.
Nicole’s expression was firm, and her dark eyes flashed with a hint of resolution. “No, you don’t need to
come forward for this kind of trivial matter. I can solve it myself.”
Zachary couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the rare scene of her being serious about matters outside
of work. “You have a point. After all, you’re our chief designer. This much is nothing for you.”
Though Nicole could hear him holding back a laugh, she didn’t say much and asked about her son
instead. “How’s Hayden doing?”
“He was still sleeping when I went back. I’ve assigned a caretaker to watch over him. He’s fine,”
Zachary answered.
After he sent Hayden home, he immediately rushed to Gardner Corporation because he couldn’t relax

“Right, I remember that you have quite a few houses within the country. My house isn’t quite safe
anymore. Why don’t you get us a place to stay for the time being? We can think of it as a business trip,”
Nicole said. She wasn’t sure how Queenie and the others managed to find her house, but she couldn’t
continue to live there anymore.
Most of the houses Zachary bought in the country were in high-end residential areas, so there wouldn’t
be a problem with security at least.
If she had known that such a thing would happen, she wouldn’t have tried to look for a quiet place to
live back then. If she bought a house in a high-end community in the first place, the thugs wouldn’t
have been able to break in.
“The villa I live in now is close to Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel’s local company. Besides,
there are many rooms,” Zachary said lightly.
Nicole raised her eyebrows and asked, “Must I stay with you?”
“It’s always safer to have a man in the house. Besides, I won’t do anything to you, right?” Zachary said
with a smile.
