Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468 Keeping a Distance

Colton looked around the office before his eyes slowly fell on Nicole’s face. A faint smile then appeared on the corners of his mouth as he added, “I came in and took a look because I heard that someone wants to do their work while sitting on my lap.”

Nicole looked slightly embarrassed when she heard his words. She didn’t think he would overhear something she had randomly spouted just to make Queenie angry. She could only blame the sound-proofing of the room.

After she awkwardly covered her mouth and forced a cough, she uttered, “I was only trying to provoke her.”

However, he had a playful glint in his eyes as he leaned over.

“But I took it seriously,” he purred. “How about you try and see if sitting on my lap feels any different? My thighs are pretty strong, if I do say so myself.”

He even coquettishly patted his thighs after he said that.

Is he alright in the head? Nicole thought before letting an icy smile show. As she shoved him away from her, she asked, “You seem to have a poor memory, President Gardner. Do your legs not hurt anymore?”

Colton couldn’t help but recall that time when she stomped on his foot in the office as soon as he heard her words.

Her putting all her strength into it that time had resulted in him having his foot throb in pain for three days.

Wiping off the dirty look on his face, Colton straightened his torso and brought up what had happened earlier. “I heard everything Queenie said. You don’t have to mind her.”

Nicole’s eyes fell at that before she slowly replied, “Queenie is Mrs. Gardner, after all. As her subordinate, I can’t possibly reject her orders.”

Her sarcastic words made Colton smile happily. He then walked around the table to stand in front of her as he smilingly teased, “Are you jealous?”

A laugh slipped as Nicole lifted her eyebrows. “Your imagination is as rich as ever, President Gardner.”
