Bothered by Something Mentally
When Emily looked at Nicole and noticed the bitter look on her face, she gave up the idea of
persuading Nicole to return. She then nodded and pursed her lips in an indifferent manner. Meanwhile,
Nicole pulled herself together and seized Whitney’s arm to introduce her to Emily. “Em, meet my
assistant, Whitney Campbell. Whitney, this is Aimee International’s president, Emily Phoenix.”
While Emily had long noticed Whitney’s presence, she couldn’t help but find the latter’s face familiar
like she had seen her before. Nevertheless, she quickly disagreed with that idea, thinking her good
memory would have allowed her to recall their last encounter if they had met before. In spite of that,
Emily still reacted politely to Whitney out of respect for Nicole. “Nice to meet you.”
Whitney nodded and replied with an affirmative hum. “Nice to meet you too.”
“By the way, how is Lucy doing?” After talking about business, the ladies began to discuss their
personal lives.
When Emily heard her daughter’s name mentioned, a heartwarming smile appeared on her face. She
then nodded and replied, “She is fine. It’s just that she always catches a cold when the seasons
change, but fortunately, Douglas took care of her well this time when the weather turned cold in the
past few days. So, she is in good health.”
“Yeah, as the kid grows older, her immunity system gets stronger too. So, don’t worry about it too
much.”
In the meantime, Whitney felt as if her blood froze around her body when she heard the other two
ladies talk about Douglas. At that moment, she finally understood why Emily’s voice sounded so
familiar because she was the one who answered Douglas’ call back then.
“I’m not worried about Lucy. After all, Douglas said he would take good care of her so she won’t fall sick
later.” Emily looked as if her heart melted when she talked about Douglas.
On the other hand, Nicole praised Douglas for his thoughtfulness after hearing what he had done for
Lucy from Emily. “Douglas is such a kind and thoughtful man. I have no doubt he will treat you right and
make you the luckiest woman in the world.”
Emily responded with a smile when she heard the way Nicole complimented Douglas. She then
grinned and said, “Well, actually, I didn’t think I’d meet such a good man like him ever.”
Meanwhile, Whitney, who was listening to their conversation, felt chills running down her spine, her
blood freezing in every vessel within her body. As Nicole was about to say something, she caught a
glimpse of Whitney’s unusual expression from the corner of her eye. Thus, she seized her hand before
she was shocked to find how cold it was, asking her in a concerned manner, “Are you alright,
Whitney?”
Upon hearing Nicole’s voice, Whitney began to pull herself together from her disturbing thoughts. She
then blinked and reacted with a brittle smile. “I-I’m fine.”
However, having known Whitney for a long time, Nicole was able to instantly tell that something was
wrong with her assistant. Staring at the former’s pale face, she asked, “Are you feeling unwell or
something?”
Needless to say, Whitney could tell that her pale expression must have given her away, so she decided
that she might as well make the best out of Nicole’s concern to cover up her actual feelings. “Yeah, I’m
having a gastric condition, which I believe must have been something I ate earlier.” She then stood up
and said, “Miss Nicole, please enjoy your time with Miss Phoenix without me. I’m afraid I need to
excuse myself right now.”
Sensing something very wrong with Whitney, Nicole was bewildered by her reaction. She then paused
and took a second to think before making a suggestion. “Perhaps I could give you a ride back home.”
Nevertheless, Whitney immediately rejected Nicole’s offer. “It’s okay, I’m good. I’ll find my own transport
back, and I’ll be fine after some rest.” She turned around and walked away as soon as she finished her
words, giving Nicole no chance to offer her help.
At the same time, Emily couldn’t help but find it strange to see Whitney leaving in a hurry as she knitted
her eyebrows and gazed at Nicole. “It seems to me that she is bothered by something mentally rather
than her gastric condition.”
