Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 15 I’d Like to Bring a Friend With Me

Due to a rainstorm, Zachary’s flight had been delayed, making him unable to arrive ahead of time for F&M Apparel’s annual dinner. As the representative of F&M Apparel’s fashion design team, Nicole couldn’t be late for the annual dinner, so she had no choice but to head to the venue in advance for the annual dinner.

Straightening her evening dress, Nicole looked at her adorable son before her, saying, “I’ll probably be home late tonight. Eat some snacks if you’re hungry, but don’t overeat, and don’t open the door for strangers.”

“Mom, aren’t you sick of saying this every time you leave home?” Hayden replied while looking at the gorgeously beautiful Nicole before him. Then, he urged, “What you should really do right now is hurry to the dinner and be the center of attention at the event!”

Nicole’s radiant face relaxed into a gentle smile as she was amused by Hayden’s remark. “Alright. In that case, I’ll be leaving first.”

For the occasion, Nicole dressed in a royal-blue evening dress that was slightly tight-fitting to outline her curvaceous figure, as well as a pair of matching high heels. Since the weather was chilly at the moment, she wore an overcoat of the same color over her dress. The long evening dress was designed to reach down to her ankles, lending her the graceful air of a young maiden when she walked.
