Chapter 244 In the Bar

Julia gave a nod. “Yes. He’s both my senior and my boyfriend. Isn’t he attractive?”

Her face was filled with happiness when she spoke.

Nicole nodded in agreement. Indeed, there was nothing to complain about Richard’s appearance—he was a handsome man.

After a while, he was joined by another man. This guy was tall, but his solemn expression clashed with the lively atmosphere of the bar.

Julia was the first to notice him. Tugging on Nicole’s arm, she said, “Look, Nicole! Another fine gentleman. Friends of a handsome man are always good looking as well.”

She continued to shake her head and mumble after her words.

Nicole, on the other hand, recognised the man as Colton just by taking a look at his figure.

Even in the bar, Colton exuded a cold and aloof aura. Much like a statue, he sat there with his lips pursed and said nothing.

Richard, on the other hand, looked like he was excitedly saying something.

Nicole could picture Julia and Richard together in a scene. It would undoubtedly be a never-ending conversation.

“That man is Colton Gardner, the president of the Gardner Corporation,” Nicole said indifferently.

Julia was stunned when she heard that. “How do you know?” she asked curiously.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Well, F&M Apparel is collaborating with the Gardner Corporation this time. I’ve even met your boyfriend once. He is Colton’s cousin.”

Julia was surprised by the coincidence and smiled as she heard it. “What a coincidence!”

Nicole nodded in response. Now she knew that Julia had followed Richard back for Wendy’s birthday banquet.

“I wanted to show you my boyfriend, but it seems unnecessary now that you’ve met him,” Julia said with a pout.

That rendered Nicole speechless. “So you asked me here just for this? For me to see your boyfriend” she asked.

“Exactly. Isn’t this fun?” Julia responded.

Nicole simply frowned and remained silent. After all, Julia was preoccupied with her relationship right now.

“Do you want to go over?” Nicole asked.

Julia shook her head. “No. We can just stay here. It’s enough for me to just look at him from a distance.”

Her eyes sparkled as she said this.

Nicole found her friend amusing. “I think you’re just worried about him coming to the bar and meeting some beauties,” she said as she took the snacks.

“I’m not!” Julia coughed and denied, but it was as if she were lying to herself.

Nicole smiled and her eyes tugged upward. Then, she said leisurely, “This shows that you’re not confident in yourself.”

“Whatever made you think that I am not confident?” Julia coquettishly asked.

She even struck a flirtatious pose and winked at Nicole after her words.

“Don’t make me vomit,” Nicole said with disgust while covering her mouth.

Julia, however, simply looked at Nicole and shrugged her shoulders, dissatisfied. “You’re not fun at all!”

Both of them then continued to bicker. Richard and Colton were a little further away, separated by a dance floor. Nicole would not have recognised them if she hadn’t looked in their direction earlier.

They were both drinking and chatting. However, Nicole noticed that Colton had a grim expression and he was looking displeased.

At the same time, she saw another familiar figure. After a few more glances, she realized it was Queenie.

Upon seeing that, Nicole furrowed her brow in response. Why did Queenie come to such a place?

But she got over that within seconds. Since Queenie was Colton’s fiancée, most likely she was here to look for him.
