Chapter 110 Too Attentive

Nicole felt that Henry had been a little too attentive for the past few days. Every time she went to work, he would be downstairs waiting with her breakfast in hand.

Nicole retrieved her breakfast, pursed her lips, then looked at Henry with a trace of helplessness in her eyes. “Henry, you don’t have to bring me breakfast.”

Smiling sheepishly, Henry rubbed his head as he looked up at Nicole with a sincere gaze. “Nicole, you always had the habit of skipping breakfast, so I was worried…”

Nicole glanced down at the breakfast he brought her. Although it wasn’t anything luxurious, it was the buns and soy milk she used to love.

It wasn’t that she didn’t like eating breakfast. In the past, her family was poor, so their life was hard, and they would even save up on meals.

“I don’t skip them now. Don’t worry,” Nicole said enigmatically.

She had experienced too many things, so she didn’t trust anyone much now. Even if this person was her first love and her first boyfriend, she still couldn’t let down her guard.

The smile on Henry’s face stiffened. Gritting his teeth, he looked slightly aggrieved. “Nicole, do you dislike me because I’m poor?”

Nicole was so flustered by his question that she didn’t know how to answer, but she stood firm and shook her head. “Henry, don’t overthink. It’s just that it’s been five years, so everything’s changed. We’re no longer suitable for each other.”

Undoubtedly, Nicole knew why Henry was being so attentive, but it was impossible for her to be with him now.

She let out a soft sigh, then explained, “I’m only in Gardner Corporation because of my cooperation with the Gardners. After the cooperation is completed, I’ll be going back.”

Henry wasn’t bothered by Nicole’s blunt rejection. Instead, he smiled and said, “Nicole, I know that. I’m not planning on getting back together anymore. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Five years ago is different from now. I just feel that it’s a shame and want to relive the feeling.”

Nicole couldn’t bring herself to refuse, so she could only purse her lips and hurriedly say, “Thank you.”

Wendy’s graduation photos set off a wave of imitations on the Internet. Many beauty bloggers copied her look and outfit, and they even brought up the name ‘Lisa’.

Nicole didn’t expect that she would suddenly go viral, which amused her a little.

F&M Apparel’s clothing line was relatively high-end. Their custom made outfits and fashion apparel had a huge price tag.

Previously, her name was only famous among people of the upper class; after all, some rich people had their clothes custom-made with F&M Apparel.

Now, because of Wendy’s outfit, her brand was known all over the country.

The Gardner Corporation did not waste the resources this time as they released the brand earlier than scheduled, taking advantage of the situation to announce their cooperation with Lisa.

It was also because of Wendy’s outfit that she received a lot of orders at once. They were pretty much wealthy people who wanted Nicole to customize clothes for them.

However, Nicole refused all of them, saying that she didn’t have time because she was too busy with her cooperation with the Gardner Corporation.

In the past few days, Henry had become more and more enthusiastic, and he even sent the food directly to her office several times. Nicole couldn’t bring herself to refuse, so she let him come.

Gossip was spreading in the office, saying that when Henry was in the private room, he hooked up with Nicole, and that the two of them had an affair.

“Nicole, why don’t you talk to Mr. Cooper and tell him not to come to the office anymore?” Scarlett suggested out of concern.

Even she felt that Henry was being too attentive, so how could someone as intelligent as Nicole not know?

Nicole reached out and rubbed her swollen eyes. She had heard some of the rumors, but she had abandoned Henry for her mother and money last time, and it was for this reason that she couldn’t bring herself to hurt him again.

Seeing how troubled Nicole was, Scarlett pursed her lips and continued, “Nicole, even though there’s nothing going on between you and Henry, you can’t let him come to the office at noon every day. Even if there’s nothing going on, you’ll be suspected of having an affair with him.”

Nicole lowered her gaze and thought for a while, then figured that what Scarlett said made sense. Thinking that it was time to deal with this, she nodded. “Okay. I got it.”
