It was fortunate that Nicole had run straight to the trash can as soon as she felt the wave of nausea rising within her. Otherwise, she would have thrown up all over the floor by now.
She clutched at the trash can tightly, vomiting until her entire complexion went pale. Having eaten some sour straws candy yesterday, her appetite had significantly improved in the morning. She had eaten quite a large breakfast as a result, so throwing up now was very taxing on her body.
Leaning against the trash can, she threw up until the contents of her stomach were empty. Only then did she finally stop retching.
An expression of worry immediately surfaced on Roger's face when he saw Nicole's condition. His large figure leaned forward. Just as he was about to walk to her side, he was stopped by Colton.
Colton took the lead and walked over to Nicole instead. Reaching out his hand, he patted her on the back to soothe her. His voice was filled with concern.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Nicole had vomited so much that her head was spinning, but she dazedly shook her head. Her mouth was currently filled with an unbearable aftertaste.
He took out a bottle of water, seemingly out of thin air. Then, he handed the bottle to her.
Nicole took the bottle from him and rinsed out the residual taste in her mouth. Her stomach was completely empty now. Had she known that she would vomit everything in the end, she would not have eaten so much for breakfast.
When she finished rinsing out her mouth, he handed her a paper napkin. She wiped her mouth clean and then exhaled wearily.
"Boss, w-what's wrong?" Although Roger's appearance made him seem rather tough and rough around the edges, he was actually quite delicate inside.
Nicole shook her head and faintly replied, "It's nothing. I might have worked too hard recently and upset my stomach as a result. It's no big deal."
Seeing that she did not wish to answer his question, he did not pursue the matter further. He simply stared at Colton intently.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
