Nicole’s ability to overcome obstacles calmly was why the entire family was relieved to hand over the family business to her.
However, Gareth was the only exception to her. He was the only person who could break through her defenses and make her emotional.
No one else in the world could make her sob.
Sharon held her hand and took the phone away from her. “Stop reading. You know the situation better than anyone else.”
The toxic comment section might agitate her even more.
Nicole sat stonily on the couch, not responding to her mother.
Though she controlled her tears, she still felt a dull ache in her heart. No matter how much she was in denial, she saw Gareth taking the initiative to wrap his arms around Elisa as they left. Elisa was the passive one in their relationship.
If Elisa also liked Gareth, Nicole felt worthy of being her opponent. However, Elisa treated him coldly.
The fact that Gareth took the initiative made Nicole feel utterly defeated. This wasn’t the result she had hoped to see.
But what can I do now? What else can I do? I don’t even have the opportunity to speak to him; he doesn’t like it if I’m too forward. I could find an excuse to discuss business with him, but that will result in a formal discussion without much interaction. That is not what I want.
A wave of sorrow engulfed her.
She was at a loss, with annoyance and grievances building up within her.
