The two men simply stared at each other in silence for a few minutes.
Suddenly, Beryl slapped his forehead, exclaiming, "Oh! There's no way you could possibly know her. Right, so do you know that woman from the medical base who set up Nicole?"
He was indeed being foolish. Colton had only encountered Kendrick a handful of times; it was unlikely he would remember Kendrick's secretary.
Furthermore, there was nothing particularly memorable about the secretary that would make her stand out in Colton's memory.
"Kendrick appears to have a soft spot for this secretary. He confessed his feelings to her today, and she celebrated by treating her friends to an extravagant dinner. They were chatting boisterously in a private room, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the room wasn't soundproof."
Suddenly, Beryl couldn't help but find Wendy's reaction today amusing. He didn't even notice a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
To Colton, it seemed as though Beryl was recounting a humorous anecdote.
"So… that's it?"
Colton regarded Beryl as if he were observing a fool. With a smile like that… Had he fallen for that woman's friend or something?
"Do I have to remind you that we're adversaries? In the realm of female relationships, friendship reigns supreme; you should consider giving up."
After some contemplation, Colton figured he had to say something.
This was a principle he had learned from Nicole. A shadow crossed Colton's face when his mind wandered to the woman.
Beryl was slightly taken aback as he glanced at Colton. He had been so engrossed in his own feelings that he hadn't noticed anything amiss with Colton.
"Colton, what's on your mind?"
Beryl wished he could knock some sense into Colton. When did Colton's judgment become so impaired? Or did he believe his little sister and those women were on the same level?
"Anyway, they brought up Nicole, and Kendrick's secretary confessed to framing her. That's all."
