Don’t Care For It
“By the way, Nicole, there are some rumors going around within the company, but don’t take it to heart,”
he said, casting her an earnest look.
A bitter smile spread across Nicole’s face, and she parted her lips as she said, “Okay. Thanks.”
Looking at Nicole, Henry wanted to draw the distance closer between them, so he started a
conversation about their times in school.
“These five years flew by so quickly. Thinking back, you were the school belle back then, and there
were countless guys chasing after you,” he muttered with a reminiscent look on his face.
Gradually, Nicole slipped into her memories with his words. It was true; although she wasn’t from a rich
family, she had good looks, awesome physique, and elegant temperament. While it was tough on her
mother raising Nicole by herself, she had never mistreated Nicole in any aspects of her daily
necessities.
Back then, she always enjoyed reading alone in the library. One day, someone took a picture of her
without her knowledge and uploaded it on the school’s forum, turning her into the school belle
overnight.
Despite the amount of guys courting her, she developed a dislike for men with smooth tongues due to
her disappointment in her father.
Therefore, even though Henry wasn’t a good-looking guy and came from a regular family, she still
picked him in the end.
The reason was simply because he was very caring and considerate; at least that was how he was in
school back then.
With a soft smile, Nicole raised her voice and said in a low voice, “Yeah, the relationships we had when
we were in school were pure and not mixed with anything else.”
Henry lowered his head and sighed softly. “Back then, I would always go to the library in hopes of
bumping into you. Never did I imagine that you’d agree to date me. It was really like a dream.” Fixing
his eyes on her, he gulped and continued, “I thought that we’d always be together, but who would have
thought that there would be such a change.”
The smile on Nicole’s face seemed a little helpless, and she dodged the topic. “Give it a try. The food
here is not bad.”
It was clear to Henry that she didn’t want to speak about relationships with him, and he lowered his
eyes, looking at the steak on his plate as the spark in his eyes died out.
In the Gardner Corporation, everyone said that Nicole’s child was fathered by Zachary Yates of F&M
Apparel, which was why she could hold the position of Chief Designer steadily in the company.
Looks like there is some truth to these rumors, he sneered indifferently in his heart. Seems like she has
found her way into a rich man’s bed and can’t be bothered to date me now. Since she’s being
heartless, then don’t blame me for being cruel!
“Okay.” A smile returned on his face before he lowered his head and started enjoying his steak.
When it was time to foot the bill, Nicole beat him to it, and it was already late by the time they finished
eating. The weather was still a little chilly, and it became dark very quickly. By the time they came out,
the streetlights were already lit.
They strolled back to the company, and Henry looked apologetic. “I should have been the one to buy
you dinner. So sorry about that.”
Nicole smiled and shook her head. “It’s alright. It doesn’t make a difference.”
Lifting his head, he took a quick glance at the sky above. “It’s getting late. Go home first, Nicole. It’s not
safe for a girl to be alone outside.”
Seeing the concern on his face, Nicole couldn’t tell for a moment if it was genuine, and she mumbled,
“Okay.”
At first, she planned to turn around and leave, but something came into her mind and she paused in
her tracks, spinning her head to him.
“Henry, no matter what the reason was five years ago, I was the one who owed you. Just let me know if
you need anything.”
He nodded. “Okay. Thanks, Nicole.”
Relieved, Nicole then left while Henry stood rooted to the spot, watching her back with unblinking eyes,
and a sneer tinged the corner of his lips.
I don’t want this help out of pity! he thought. Since I can’t hook up with Nicole, I’ll just do what Queenie
says. Her life and death has nothing to do with me now, anyway.
