Chapter 1460 Zachary Arrives
At noon, a time when drowsiness often set in, Nicole found herself succumbing to sleepiness just as she was about to broach an important topic. She yawned languidly, casting a somewhat lazy glance at Chloe.
"What response?" Chloe asked, her gaze fixed on Nicole's relaxed demeanor. She couldn't help but wonder if the matter was as pressing as Nicole had implied.
"It's about Cure seeking our partnership," Nicole replied, a faint smile playing on her lips as she observed Chloe's slightly bewildered expression.
What? Cure?! Chloe's heart pounded with surprise. She was about to voice her thoughts when Nicole cut her off. "Kendrick introduced us. If we perform well, he stands to benefit too. So, there's no need for concern. They've already provided us with a preliminary contract. If we're deemed suitable, they'll offer us an opportunity to compete with other bases."
Nicole's smile was light, her stance on the matter leaning toward acceptance. Opportunities like this were few and far between. If they succeeded, it would be a boon for their base. However, she knew she needed to discuss it with Chloe before making a final decision.
"I think it's a good idea. It's a rare opportunity. If it had come out of the blue, we'd need to be cautious. But if we review the contract and agree to it, we're merely qualifying to compete. I don't believe they harbor any ill intentions." Chloe nodded in agreement. If Nicole was also on board, it would be best to make a decision promptly and begin preparations.
"Alright, I'll inform Kendrick of our participation. But don't you want to review the contract?" Nicole asked, her gaze falling on the untouched contract.
Chloe, usually meticulous, would typically scrutinize the contract before feeling at ease.
"You must have already gone through it, Nicole. If you don't see any issues, I doubt I'll find any. I trust your judgment," Chloe responded, patting her chest as if to emphasize her conviction.
She held Nicole in high regard, viewing her as a role model in all aspects.
"Alright, you have to head to the medical base, right? Leave early and return early. Remember to let everyone rest well over the weekend."
Nicole was taken aback by Chloe's admiration. She was pleased, but she couldn't help but question if she truly deserved such reverence.
Glancing at the time, Chloe realized she was running late. She hastily gathered her belongings and left without another word.
Nicole watched Chloe depart before turning her attention to Kendrick to confirm their agreement. He instructed her to await further news.
She glanced at Kendrick's response on her phone, set it aside, and reclined on her bed. There were still numerous reports left unread.
Then, she felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her, but she knew she had to press on, hoping to wrap up this matter as soon as possible.
At Florend Airport, Zachary waited for his luggage. He glanced at his watch, nodded to himself, and soon collected his belongings before exiting the airport.
Having just completed his work in Monterey the previous day, he had now arrived in Florend to assume his role as the CEO of Cure.
He hoped his presence would alleviate some of Nicole's burdens, especially considering she was nearing her due date.
Exiting the airport, he spotted a luxury car waiting for him. After verifying the license plate, he climbed into the vehicle.
"Prepare for tomorrow's board meeting," he instructed before he'd even settled into his seat.
"Understood," the driver responded. Zachary caught a glimpse of the driver's face in the rearview mirror—a trusted confidant.
