Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1392 New Dangers

After completing the day's tasks, Chloe walked toward her apartment in exhaustion. Her mind was filled with Kendrick's words from earlier today.

The problems just kept on coming.

Chloe returned to her apartment with a troubled look. After opening the door, she headed right for her bedroom.

Nicole, who was watching from the side, silently followed behind Chloe. By the looks of it, Chloe must have encountered some sort of trouble.

"What's the matter, Chloe? Did something happen at the research center?"

Nicole walked up to Chloe and sat down. She felt much better in an instant.

Her body had been unbearably heavy recently, and she was beginning to develop symptoms. She had thrown up more than ten times today.

Consequently, the progress on her report was delayed.

When Chloe heard that, she looked at Nicole with a sullen expression.

"Nicole."

Nicole hastily took Chloe's hand and asked worriedly, "Did something happen to you? Or was it the research center?"

"Nicole, Kendrick came to visit me at the research center today," said Chloe solemnly as she shook her head.

Nicole was startled to hear that. Ever since she stopped going to the research center, Chloe said that Kendrick never visited the research center again.

He probably had something important to say if he visited the research center all of a sudden today.

Nicole was smart enough to stay silent, and she waited quietly for Chloe to continue.

"He said that he would give the research center two percentage points, but on the condition that any future partnership concerning the research center has to go through him first."

When Nicole heard the first part of the sentence, she knew that it spelled trouble. When Chloe finished speaking, Nicole's expression darkened as well.

If they agreed to it, the research center would be as good as a subsidiary of Hofstead Corporation. How could they help Colton in the future?

"Also, someone called Beryl talked to me today…"

Chloe relayed the incident last night to Nicole, along with what happened between Beryl and Kendrick at the research center.

When Nicole heard that, her face fell. If she didn't have any opinions of the man before, she could make some guesses now.

"Nicole, is something the problem?"

Chloe had always been good at observing people. When she saw Nicole's expression, she knew that Nicole must be thinking about something related to Colton again.

She subconsciously looked at her tummy, and it seemed to be fine. She let out a relieved sigh in her heart.

If something happened to her belly, it would be dangerous for both the child and the mother.
