Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Gratification

Surprised by Zachary’s presence, William nervously dropped his jaw.

F&M Apparel wasn’t just popular around the world, but it was also dominating the local market. Anyone in the clothing industry could instantly recognize Zachary, F&M Apparel’s president. After all, the man’s face always made it to the cover page of fashion magazines as the trendsetter for the country’s fashion.

Hastily, William sprung up from his seat and revealed an expression of humility. “I didn’t realize you were here, President Yates.”

Zachary stonily glared at the Andersons. He stayed outside and overheard their conversation, choosing not to get involved to avoid troubling Nicole, only for the conversation to gradually grow overbearing. “My chief designer was being ridiculed right here, and if I pretended not to hear it, outsiders would surely look down on F&M Apparel and its members.” His intonation, his face, and his aura were nothing but cold and belligerent.

On the other hand, with Hayden resting in her arms, Nicole remained silent.

Panicking, William responded with a smile and crossed his hands as he lowered his eyes. “It’s nothing like that. We’re a family, after all. The quarrel you heard earlier was simply a joke.” With such a powerful figure before them, the Andersons wouldn’t dare to oppose Zachary.

“Family?” Zachary’s voice elevated as anger subtly surged in his eyes. Revealing a resentful grin, he stared at their disgusting faces and squinted his eyes, saying, “In the last five years, I didn’t even know Nicole had a family.”

With how Zachary was so protective of Nicole, William intuitively grew anxious, but at the same time, his greed intensified. Judging from Zachary’s words, it was obvious that Nicole was important to him. William thought that if he could draw Nicole back to the Anderson Family, they would be able to receive help from F&M Apparel. Easy-peasy.
