Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1410 Feasting Lavishly

"Nicole, you haven't been eating well these past few days. How about we go out for dinner tonight and take a leisurely walk afterward? Staying cooped up at home all day isn't healthy," Chloe proposed upon returning home and finding Nicole still engrossed in a mountain of reports.

Nicole raised her head upon hearing Chloe's words, feeling a sudden chill down her spine. She was well aware that if she didn't consent, Chloe would devise a plan to coax her out of the house.

Chloe's gaze remained fixed on Nicole, resolute in her mission to get Nicole out. If Nicole didn't acquiesce, she would resort to more persuasive measures.

"Alright, alright, I give in. Shall we leave now?" Nicole hastily agreed, fearing that if she hesitated any longer, Chloe might resort to force.

Satisfied with the final answer, Chloe turned around and fetched Nicole's coat, preparing for them to head out.

Nicole was already dressed for the occasion, only needing to don her coat. She sat in the chair, awkwardly slipping on her shoes.

Witnessing this, Chloe couldn't help but feel a twinge of sorrow.

Colton was still oblivious to the fact that the child Nicole was carrying was his, and he continued to harbor misconceptions about Nicole. If possible, she wished Colton would never discover the truth.

"Alright, Chloe, I'm ready. Let's go."

Nicole slowly rose, leaning on a nearby object for support, and glanced at the preoccupied Chloe, gently nudging her back to reality.

If she wasn't mistaken, Chloe was once again lost in thoughts about her and Colton.

Chloe snapped back to reality at Nicole's voice, looking at Nicole, who was already dressed and prepared to leave, and gave a slight nod.

The two of them embarked on their journey together. The cool evening breeze was blowing, but they were both bundled up and didn't feel the cold.

"Darcy, is it true? You've really snagged Kendrick Hofstead?"

A piercing female voice accompanied by a potent perfume scent reached them.

Kendrick Hofstead? Darcy?

Instinctively, Nicole turned to look at Chloe, who was also looking back at her.

Evidently, they both caught the crucial information.

"Absolutely, he confessed his feelings to me at the office today. But we were interrupted, and that person overheard what Kendrick said to me. Kendrick probably cares about his reputation, so he didn't pursue the matter after that person left." Darcy boasted, nonchalantly handing her card to the waiter.

The money on the card was the advance salary that Kendrick had given her earlier that day. But now that she thought about it, if she and Kendrick were to become an item, this money would be

insignificant. So, she didn't feel the slightest bit of regret. Today was all about indulging herself.

"Order whatever you want today. Dinner's on me." Darcy declared generously. Kendrick was so affluent he would certainly not skimp on her financially once they were together. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Darcy, are you sure? This card should contain all your savings, right? If you exhaust it today, what will you do in the coming days?" One of her close friends looked at the bank card Darcy had handed over with concern and voiced her apprehensions.

They were all close friends, and although they often competed with each other, they would always consider each other's welfare at critical moments.

At that, Darcy clenched her teeth in a direction where no one could see. Her friend's words clearly indicated that she was being looked down upon.

She didn't have such a competitive spirit initially, always believing that she could excel with her abilities, and she was definitely more accomplished in her studies than her friends.

However, several of her friends found their wealthy boyfriends, and their lives improved dramatically. During that time, she was so envious that she couldn't focus on her work. She simply couldn't accept it.

What exactly was the reason? She wasn't sure. She was clearly the most capable one, but in the end, she was the worst off.
