Stand Up for a Friend
It was only when Whitney disappeared from sight that Nicole took her eyes off the former. In fact, she
noticed the same strange thing about Whitney as Emily did. At the same time, Whitney’s strange
behavior reminded Nicole of the exact same way she behaved when she first joined F&M Apparel three
years ago.
However, Nicole didn’t ask Whitney about that, thinking she should respect her wish to keep her secret.
“I think she’ll be fine. She is probably just not feeling well now,” Nicole said as she didn’t expose
Whitney. In the meantime, Emily didn’t press on with any more questions regarding Whitney because
she wasn’t close with her after all.
On the other hand, Whitney could no longer fight back her tears when she left the café in a hurry. Her
eyes and nose began to turn red as she wiped her tears off with her hands and continued to make her
way outside.
Soon, her vision became blurred by the tears shortly before she bumped herself onto someone while
making her way out of the café. Reactively, she quickly apologized, with her head kept down. “I’m so
sorry. I wasn’t looking.”
“Beauty Whitney?” Whitney heard a magnetic voice from above her head. Finding it familiar, she looked
up and saw Mason. She then wiped off the tears on her face in a panicky manner and looked down
slightly. “President Schumacher…”
Meanwhile, Mason reacted as if his heart melted when he noticed the tears on Whitney’s face. He then
fixed his gaze upon her and caressed her cheek, sympathetically saying, “You shouldn’t be crying,
beauty. Your tears are going to ruin how you look.”
Despite hearing Mason’s cheeky reply, Whitney gave a rather rigid response, taking a few steps back
while blinking. “I’m fine. Thanks for your concern, President Schumacher.”
Hearing Whitney’s indifferent response, Mason decided not to ask her about that. Instead, he looked
down and showed his concern in a euphemistic way. “Why are you crying? Is there something that’s
bothering you?”
Whitney took a step back, seemingly unwilling to interact any further with Mason. “President
Schumacher, I’m just feeling unwell now, so please don’t worry about me. I called the cab, which is
currently on the way, so I should probably excuse myself and get ready.” She finished her words and
walked away without a single thought of hesitation. In the meantime, Mason watched the lady slowly
disappear from his sight, his smile fading from his face before he walked away as well.
When Whitney flagged down a cab and got it, she finally had all the privacy she wanted for herself.
Sitting in the backseat, she then allowed her emotions to take over her while her tears gushed down
her eyes like a waterfall.
Deep down, she was overwhelmed by a stab of pain in her heart at the thought of her past with
Douglas. After all, she was the one who wronged him and suggested that they broke up; but when she
learned he was already married to another woman with whom he had a child, she somehow struggled
to embrace the truth, feeling suffocated by the pain.
Soon, she sobbed and sniffled, berating herself for her selfishness and coyness. After all the suffering I
put Douglas through, he is finally enjoying his new life now. So, shouldn’t I feel happy for him? She
looked outside the window, allowing her tears to continue trickling from her eyes.
Meanwhile, at the restaurant, Nicole and Emily went on to talk about their work. In fact, the idea of
building Aimee International first came from Douglas and Emily, but since they didn’t know well about
the industry, neither of them deemed themselves fit to run the company.
However, Emily happened to know Nicole, whom she later approached to invest in the company so that
they could both watch Aimee International grow together.
Since Nicole was already the chief designer in F&M Apparel at that time, she didn’t think she would
lose anything by accepting Emily’s offer either.
Thus, she agreed with her friend, only to be surprised at how well Aimee International had grown over
the next three years. In fact, the company had expanded so well that Nicole could just quit her job while
still making money.
“I’ll swing by the office for a negotiation. After that, I’ll give you a call when I need you to drop charges,”
Nicole said.
Emily had no objection to Nicole’s idea. After all, the reason she attempted to sue the Gardner
Corporation was that she wanted to stand up for Nicole, knowing someone was trying to mess with her
friend there.
