RankNovelChapter 212 Nicole's gaze lowered and she beclost in thought. She had been so preoccupied with the design sketch for the past few days that she had almost forgotten about him.
With her lips pursed, she thought for a few moments before asking, "How's Zachary recently?" She knew he was busy but because he didn't bring it up, she didn't ask him either.
"His situation is bad," Whitney replied candidly.
Nicole was stunned for a moment after hearing her response, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. "He didn't want to tellanything, and it's not forto ask him as well." She sighed at that.
Whitney took a look at Nicole, feeling complicated.

When Zachary's father discovered that Zachary adored a woman with a child, he was furious. He refused to back down, and demanded Zachary return hto take over the family business.
But Zachary adamantly refused. He too, had a stubborn temper beneath his gentle appearance.
Following that, Benjamin forcibly acquired F&M Apparel's shares, intending to drive Nicole out of the company. Zachary returned to F&M Apparel after learning of this and was still at odds with his father.
Zachary had taken on everything for Nicole and did notallow Whitney to reveal anything to her. Otherwise, based on his concern for Nicole, he would appear in the country to explain everything for her and bring her back when she was previously defamed with the plagiarism issue.
But he could not do so, as he was really up to his neck with the troubles he faced in F&M Apparel. Whitney looked profoundly at Nicole and decided not to tell her anything. Zachary must be concerned that Nicole would becconcerned if she found out about it, and hence instructed Whitney not to divulge anything.
Hence, Whitney replaced her solemn expression with a smile. "It's not a big deal. President Yates was still as active as ever when I chere. I suppose his father did something that annoyed him." Nicole wasn't the type to be overly concerned too. She nodded and said, "We return to F&M Apparel once our Gardner Corporation ovel collaboration projects are completed. If Zachary does encounter sdifficulties, we can face them together." Whitney did not reply to that. After all, she couldn't say much as Zachary did not want Nicole to know about those matters.
Their subject of conversation was little solemn, and the entire atmosphere in the office was serious when they were on it Thus, Whitney subtly changed the subject.
"By the way, didn't Joanna say she wanted to compete with you? Have you finished your design sketch yet?" Nicole was aware that Whitney was deliberately changing the topic, but she wasn't bothered by it. "Yes, it is done. Wendy will be coming in the afternoon." She then cto a halt. "Mrs. Gardner will be here as well," she added, recalling Colton's words.
"Because of Hayden?" Whitney could roughly guess the reason.
Nicole nodded to that.

Whitney then attempted to console her by saying, "It's okay, 's okay, Miss Nicole.
We'll cross the bridge when we cEn.
to it. Don't think too much." "I'm not thinking too much. You're the one who is speaking too much! Are you very free here?"
Nicole nonchalantly looked at Whitney and realized that the latter be seemed to be more nosy after she cto the Gardner Corporation. In response, Whitney quickly smiled and nodded. "Of course not! I'm just concerned about your health.
Since you're well, I'll go out now. Take care!" Whitney immediately dashed out after her words, fearing that Nicole would catch her.
Nicole, on the other hand, looked at Whitney who dashed out and smiled. Whitney didn't change at all, she thought.
But Nicole was still worried about
Zachary as she didn't know how he was doing. The the spent dealing with whatever he was preoccupied with indicated that the problem was hatever he more serious than she had suspected.
