Sounds of cheerful laughter and even teasing directed at Nicole could be heard coming from the
private room next door from time to time.
On the other hand, Colton was sitting in a private room nearby, his face gloomy as he ate his meal.
Had Wendy not wanted to dine here, he would've slammed his fork and spoon on the dining table and
stormed off long ago.
Wendy ate her meal in silence, not daring to say a word. After all, she knew Colton's temper pretty well.
I'd better behave well today and head straight back to the hotel after dinner without making any other
demands.
She had thought that it would be a pleasure to meet Nicole here, but she didn't expect there would be
another man nearby. She knew a little bit about the man. When she was with Nicole before, Nicole had
mentioned her medical base, which was supposed to be a collaboration with this man. How could there
be such a coincidence?
Suddenly, Colton looked up at her with a dark expression. He asked coldly, "When did you find out that
she was around here?"
Wendy's hands paused for a moment. Hearing his question, she put her fork and spoon down on the
table and looked up gingerly at his expression before taking in a sharp breath. "Uh, I just found out
today. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be around here. It was quite a coincidence! Haha!" she replied
with an awkward laugh before picking up her fork and spoon and continuing to eat in silence with her
head down. Who would dare to tell the truth with that kind of expression? It's better to just brush him off
with a random excuse. If he finds out about the real situation, I'll definitely get lectured today!
"Who is that guy?" asked Colton as if he hadn't understood what she just said.
Wendy closed her eyes in resignation. Oh, God, please don't do this to me. How am I supposed to
answer that? Even though I know that he's Nicole's business partner, I can't just blurt it out, right? "I
don't know," she replied in a muffled voice. I'm not going to spill the beans. I've got to maintain my good
friendship with Nicole.
"Is the food delicious?"
"Yeah."
"Does the red wine taste good?"
"Yeah."
"Is that guy her business partner?"
"Yeah," blurted Wendy. As soon as she said that, she quickly covered her mouth with her innocent eyes
wide open. What did I just say? Did I just blurt out the truth? She glared at him angrily. This guy is
treacherous, changing the subject to distract me and then suddenly extracting the real answer from me!
What a schemer! "Why you!"
"Well, I would've known even if you didn't say it." Colton slowly lowered his head and ate the food on
his plate as though he had heard the response he wanted.
"Then why did you have to trick me like that?" Wendy pouted defiantly, suddenly losing her appetite as
she looked at the spread of dishes on the dining table. Isn't that a form of betrayal against Nicole? How
annoying! He's truly a company president, taking charge of his company's affairs and playing tricks on
people with his wicked mind.
Colton grabbed the napkin at hand and wiped his mouth as if he had finished his meal. "Well, I just
suddenly felt like asking. You don't have to get so worked up about it."
Wendy rolled her eyes in exasperation. She shot an annoyed glance at the man, but the moment she
saw the look on his face, she immediately withdrew her gaze like an obedient kitten retracting its claws.
Colton's eyes were cold, and the atmosphere around him was different from usual. "No more calling
her sister-in-law. She doesn't deserve it," he said, stressing each word as though the "she" he referred
to weren't his beloved woman.
"I—" retorted Wendy. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Colton's expression, which
reminded her of Nicole's instructions. She shut up obediently without saying another word. I'd be a fool
to speak up at a time like this. Ah, life isn't easy, is it?
