Just when Nicole was engaging in the conversation with everyone, silence suddenly descended upon
the room.
Sensing someone's presence, she turned her head and saw Kendrick standing at the door, who smiled
at her. He said, "Miss Anderson, we've placed the orders. The dishes will be served in a moment."
Nicole nodded slightly with a faint smile, but there was an air of distance in her demeanor. "Thank you,
Mr. Hofstead."
Kendrick was startled, unsure as to why Nicole suddenly became so formal with him. Our relationship
has been improving over the past couple of days, no? Why did it go back to the beginning right after
she saw Colton? This isn't the outcome I wanted. It's all because of him!
His expression darkened. Watching her chat and laugh with the researchers, he felt deeply upset. At
the same time, his resentment toward Colton grew. Don't worry, Nicole. I'll speed things up and get rid
of Colton sooner. As for your baby, I'll raise them as my own, making sure that you two won't suffer the
slightest bit of indignity.
Nicole had been talking about the subject of drinking with the researchers. She wanted to ask for
Kendrick's opinion, but she didn't expect to see him lost in thought with a grim expression. She had no
choice but to raise her voice while calling out his name. "Mr. Hofstead?"
Only then did Kendrick snap out of his thoughts. He looked at her with a flicker of panic in his eyes,
asking, "What's wrong?" He had been preoccupied with pondering how to speed things up and get rid
of Colton, so he hadn't heard what Nicole and others had been talking about. Hopefully she didn't
notice anything wrong with me.
Seeing the looks of anticipation around her, Nicole reluctantly asked, "It's no big deal. I was just
wondering if you would like to join in for a bit of drinking with them. I'm pregnant, so I can't really have
much." She wanted to keep her distance from Kendrick, but everyone was in high spirits and wanted to
have a few drinks with him. Well, everyone's been working hard lately, so this kind of relaxation isn't
entirely out of the question. It's just a favor, anyway; I can return it later.
Kendrick's lips parted, but he didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hofstead. Just a little bit is fine. They've got work tomorrow, so they won't be drinking
a lot," said Nicole, interpreting his silence as a possible discomfort with her request. If he were to
decline, she would understand. She had known him for over a month now, during which time she had
never seen him socialize for business-related matters.
She had gathered enough information about Kendrick during her stay here. Much of his collaborations
didn't originate from his own initiative; instead, most of them were the result of others trying to curry
favor with him. In other words, his power was already beyond their imagination.
"Alright." Coming to his senses, Kendrick hurriedly agreed. He didn't expect that his momentary
distraction just now would give her the wrong idea. After all, he was accustomed to drinking at home,
so it wasn't something that he couldn't handle.
"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Hofstead." Nicole nodded before looking back and nodding to everyone.
Understanding that it was a success, the crowd instantly erupted in cheers.
Just then, Chloe came in from the next door, followed by several researchers. All of them looked
puzzled, wondering what was causing the excitement. As their representative, she stepped forward and
asked, "What's making you all so happy?"
Unfortunately, the crowd intended to hide this from them, so they only smiled at Chloe without saying
anything.
Growing anxious, the researchers behind Chloe immediately rushed forward and grabbed their familiar
colleagues, pressing them for answers.
For a moment, the room was packed with people. Everyone had smiles on their faces and looked very
happy, which greatly reassured Nicole. This was exactly what she wanted—a relaxed atmosphere that
would help everyone unwind so that they became even more dedicated to their work.
