Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 The Thing Between You and Colton

Nicole was about to say something until she saw the injury on Colton’s face.

Then, she chose to quietly lower her head as she gobbled up her food.

After picking up the courage to look at the man again to say something, she was stopped by Annie, who had abruptly entered the room.

“Miss Anderson,” she started. “I have washed and dried your clothes. They are now in your room upstairs.”

“Alright. Thank you,” Nicole quickly nodded and said her thanks.

With a smile on her face, Annie replied, “You are welcome.”

Right when she was about to head upstairs, Colton suddenly called out to her from behind. “Come down after you’ve changed into your working attire. We’ll go to work together.”

Nicole only gave a simple ‘Okay’ as she nodded in response. At the same time, she couldn’t help but take a peek at Colton’s face. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be in a particularly bad mood, she let out a sigh of relief before hurrying upstairs.

She didn’t take much time to change into something else. They soon got into Colton’s vehicle and finally set off for the company.

Both of them did not speak a word to each other throughout their journey on the road. Nicole was the first one to break the silence when she gingerly brandished a Band-Aid she had procured from Annie on her way out.

The obvious scar on his chin was way too conspicuous to be left out in the open for people to see.

Then, he lowered his gaze to look at the Band-Aid in Nicole’s hand, and with raised brows, he humorously asked in return, “You think this Band-Aid on me can hide this scar from everyone?”

An embarrassed Nicole rubbed her nose and grumbled, “It can at least cover a part of it.”

Colton only turned and started to walk away instead of answering her.

Upon being ignored, Nicole’s gaze started to shift between the man’s retreating figure and the Band-Aid in her hand. Is he mad…
