Chapter 224 To See Colton
Queenie did not go home directly after she came out of Nicole’s office. Instead, she got on the elevator and went
upstairs.
In fact, she didn’t only agree to Joanna’s request for her to come over to give Nicole a hard time. She was also here
to see Colton.
After the video of her and Joseph, it had been a long time since Queenie was with Colton.
Even though they would see each other occasionally, Colton always looked like he didn’t have any intention of
getting close to her with the indifferent attitude he had toward her.
Queenie knew that they couldn’t go on like this. Since he wasn’t going to come to her, she would have to go to him
instead. She was the master of her fate, after all.
Even though Colton had always been indifferent about her, he had never gone out of his way to reject her
whenever she approached him. But ever since Nicole appeared in their lives…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe thought immediately made the light in Queenie’s eyes dim. It seemed that she and Colton had started drifting
apart because of Nicole!
She composed herself the moment she heard the clear ringing of the elevator bell as the doors opened. She now
had a gentle smile on her face.
She proceeded to take dignified steps forward but before she even got to Colton’s office, Tony, who noticed her,
swiftly went over and blocked her way.
“Miss Queenie, President Gardner is in the middle of something now. Please wait a moment,” Tony informed in a
respectful tone.
Queenie knew that he was saying all this to stop her, which was why she didn’t stop walking. “I am only here to see
Colton. I won’t disturb him.”
Seeing as how she had no intention of stopping, Tony turned his body sideways and continued to stand in front of
her.
Even though he looked apologetic, his words that came out next were firm. “It is inconvenient for President Gardner
to meet you now, Miss Queenie. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”
Hearing this, Queenie raised her chin slightly to look at Tony. The man might only be Colton’s assistant, but he held
a lot of power in his hands.
His eyes were squinted at this moment, but even though he had a small smile on his face, the smile didn’t touch his
eyes at all. It looked like only his skin was moving to accommodate the slight curve at the corners of his mouth.
She finally stood still to look him straight in the eyes and asked, “I am Colton’s fiancée and I happen to be here now.
I am just taking a detour to see Colton. Certainly there is nothing wrong with that?”
“I didn’t say that you can’t see President Gardner, Miss Queenie.” Tony let out a small smile when he heard her
eloquent words. “It is just that the president is busy right now. I am afraid it may be unseemly for you to go in at
this moment.”
A smile appeared on Queenie’s face as she lifted her gaze to look at him, and she asked in return, “Why would you
think that it is unseemly, Mr. Larson? Could it be that there is another woman in the president’s office?”
Tony didn’t flinch from her provocation, and only deadpanned, “You sure tell funny jokes, Miss Queenie.”
Not wanting to continue this dead conversation with him, Queenie remained standing in the same spot for a while
before she finally compromised. “In this case, can you please inform Colton that I am here, Mr. Larson? I won’t go
in if he really has his hands full.”
“Alright.” Tony’s tone became softer too, now that Queenie was taking a step backward. It didn’t feel right to
continue acting stubborn with the woman. “Please wait here for a while, Miss Queenie. I will head in and let the
president know.”
She quietly nodded at that.
He only turned around and went into Colton’s office after seeing that she no longer had the intention to push her

Just like Tony said, Colton was indeed overloaded with work in his office. With a pen in his hand, he had his head
lowered as he scribbled something across a piece of paper. He only glanced at Tony briefly when he saw him enter
the room before he looked away. He then asked rather emotionlessly, “Yes?”
Looking at his superior working so diligently, Tony smiled and informed, “Queenie Anderson is here. I have her
waiting outside your door.”
Colton had instructed Tony before that the latter had to immediately stop Queenie from entering if she were to
come.
Colton pulled his eyebrows together the instant he heard her name. “Why is she here?” he asked .
Seeing him being impatient, Tony chuckled and said, “I will tell her to leave, then. Should I say that you are busy?”
Colton let out a hum in acknowledgement. Just as Tony was about to head out, Colton suddenly remembered
something, and he lifted his head to call out to his assistant. “Actually, let her in.”
Needless to say, Tony was surprised to hear that. He didn’t think there would come a day when Colton would
willingly let Queenie into his office. Still, he was just an assistant. Instead of voicing out his puzzlement, he briefly
nodded before he headed out.
