Chapter 72 Take Her Home

After Nicole had slightly returned to her senses due to the wind, the first thing she saw was that she was in the arms of a man, and that man was touching her head with one hand.

Her mind turned blank. Before she had time to think about it, she got up abruptly and threw a slap at him, blurting, “You monster!”

Colton was a little taken aback by the slap. Although Nicole wasn’t that strong, the crisp slap could be heard loud and clear in the quiet car.

At that moment, Colton’s expression was as dark as a storm.

It was only a moment later that Nicole came back to her senses. Looking at Colton’s dark expression on his red face, she blanked out with her hand still raised in the air. Earlier, she seemed to have lost her mind… and she even hit him.

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside. Nicole bit her lip and raised her eyes to glance at Colton carefully. She pursed her lips and explained in a low voice, “I wasn’t looking clearly, so I thought you were a hooligan…”

The more she spoke, the more guilty she became. She faintly remembered that she seemed to have been rubbing herself all over him earlier.

Colton’s expression darkened, his thin lips pursed tightly. He could feel a slight pain on his cheek, and the culprit was the woman next to him.

He suppressed his voice and mustered a smile, asking, “Miss Anderson, you leaned on me by yourself first. How did I become a hooligan?”

Though Colton’s tone was lighthearted, Nicole’s face turned flushed when she heard his words. She crossed her hands together and twiddled her fingers in embarrassment. So it’s true that I snuggled up to him earlier. Not only that, but I was the one in the wrong, and yet, I ended up hitting him instead.

She licked her dry lips, afraid to look over at him. In the end, she could only turn around and look out the window.

Her body continued to radiate heat, and even as the chilly winter wind blew onto her, she didn’t feel awake. Nicole closed her eyes and drove her nails into her palm. The slightly tingling sensation brought her back to her senses a little.

However, she soon felt that she was about to lose consciousness again. She bit her lip and contemplated before turning to look at Colton, saying sternly, “President Gardner, why don’t you let me get off here?” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Colton threw her a sidelong glance. Without slowing down the car, he gripped the steering wheel and said coldly, “Look at you now. Are you trying to look for trouble?”

With Nicole’s current state, she was basically rushing up to glue herself onto every man she saw.

Nicole was aware of her shameful state, but she had no other choice, and said in a low voice, “I was drugged… I would get better if I were alone…”

Although she didn’t dislike Colton, the two of them weren’t close enough to date. If something really happened, it would be extremely awkward when they met in the future.

“I’ve already called a doctor to my house. We’re reaching soon, so you’ll be fine,” Colton comforted her. His body was heating up due to Nicole’s actions, and he yearned to get on top of her and vent onto her.

However, it was no secret that Zachary, the president of F&M Apparel, liked Nicole. If Colton were to sleep with her, he was afraid that the partnership with F&M Apparel would be terminated.

Gardner Apparel was now only a step away from leading the industry, so he had to endure it.

Hearing that there would be a doctor, Nicole was finally able to relax. She nodded and closed her eyes, lying on the seat as if she were unconscious.

Colton sped all the way and finally arrived home. As soon as he entered the huge and luxurious villa, an old woman stepped forward and saw that he was carrying a woman in his arms. A surprised expression appeared on her face.

This wasn’t Gardner Residence, but Colton’s private residence. Let alone a woman, there were extremely few men who had entered this place.

“Young Master, this is…?”

The woman in his arms was completely red-faced and looked a little out of the ordinary.

“Annie, prepare some coffee. When Harvey arrives later, just let him come directly to my room.”

Colton didn’t waste any time chit-chatting. After he finished speaking, he went upstairs with Nicole in his arms.
