Right Person, Wrong Time Chapter 767

Chapter 767

"What's wrong? You're treating me to a meal anyway, and now you won't want to share a ride with me?" Colton

questioned Nicole. In response to that, Nicole decided to give in, thinking she should stay away from trouble.

Soon, the duo arrived at Orchard Road just when it happened to be peak hour. Therefore, the restaurant's entrance

was crowded with people, indicating that the business was good. However, thoughts of hesitation flashed through

her mind when she saw the crowd.

Um. We need a reservation to dine here, don't we? Having heard about the newly opened restaurant and its good

reviews, she was still surprised to see many customers. Then, she subconsciously turned her attention to Colton,

finding his decent formal wear somewhat incompatible with the crowd right in front of them.

On the other hand, Colton didn't say a single word as he went on and took Nicole inside the restaurant. As soon as

the waiter saw Colton, his eyes brightened up like he knew who he was. "Mr. Gardner, your room is right upstairs.

It's been vacant all the time. Would you like to head upstairs now?"

At the same time, Nicole only gave a strange glimpse to the waiter before she saw Colton nodding and moving on.

After following Colton to the room on the second floor, she found herself in a spacious lounge with a big round table

on which there was a vase. As soon as she took a seat, someone immediately came into the room.

"Welcome, Mr. Gardner. Are you ready to order?" A plump man, who seemed to be in his forties, smiled in a

flattering manner.

"We'll let you know once we make up our minds," Colton replied calmly.

"O-Of course. I shall excuse myself now, then." The man instantly understood Colton and responded affirmatively.

Soon, when Colton noticed the strange gaze on Nicole's face, he decided to satisfy her curiosity by telling her his

story with the restaurant. "I invested in this restaurant."

After hearing the brief explanation, Nicole couldn't help but feel surprised. Stroking her chin, she wondered and

murmured in an almost inaudible voice, "I thought the Gardner Corporation only had a part in the fashion and

network industry. I didn't know they were also involved in food and beverage."

Colton looked up and stared at Nicole, saying, "I said 'I', not the Gardner Corporation." Nicole gazed at Colton

strangely just when the man went on to elaborate further. "I own as many assets as the Gardner Corporation does.

Therefore, I'm more than capable of keeping you well-fed even if I fall out and cut ties with the Gardner Family."

When Nicole heard Colton's reply, she only kept her eyes glued to the menu, unwilling to answer the man. In the

meantime, Colton responded with a silent chuckle despite noticing Nicole's reluctance to react. After placing their

orders, the duo waited for the food to be served and neither one of them spoke a word to break the silence. Even

after the dishes arrived, Nicole remained quiet as she only kept her head down and ate her meal.



Meanwhile, Colton didn't say anything at all either, only keeping his gaze fixed on the lady. Just when silence was

reigning the atmosphere in the room, the duo was suddenly interrupted by a visitor who suddenly opened the door

and shrieked, "Collie! What a small world! Like, OMG, I didn't think I'd run into you right here."

When Evelyn took a step forward, a pair of smiling eyes could be seen on her face until she noticed Nicole's

presence. Although her eyes darkened a little, she continued to force a smile in front of the duo. On the other hand,

when Colton heard the lady's voice, he looked up just before the sight of Evelyn made him knit his eyebrows.

The next second, Evelyn immediately leaned closer to Colton with a smile. "I miss you, Collie."

"Shouldn't you be somewhere else abroad now? What brings you back here?" Colton asked with a deep voice,

gazing at the lady.

Evelyn's expression stiffened as she quickly explained, "I-I came back here to visit a friend whom I've been hanging

out with for the past few days. She is actually just next door. When I heard from the waiter that you're here, I

decided to take a look for myself, which I don't think you'd mind, would you?"

Considering the business alliance between the Gardner Family and the Wrenn Family, Colton responded with a grunt

as a sign of chivalry, despite the absurdity of what she did earlier.
