Chapter 282 A Warning

After discussing the cooperation with Mason, Nicole left the cafe. When she returned to the company, she found

Joanna in her office.

 

 

Nicole’s initial thought was that she was here to look for trouble again. Instead, with a slight smile, she put her bag

on the stool, looked at her, and said, “Director Schmidt, I haven’t done anything to offend you recently. If you’re

here to argue, I won’t play along with you.”

 

When Joanna noticed that Nicole was back, Joanna stood up directly and stared at Nicole for a long time before

calmly saying, “I was at a cafe today and saw that you were with Mason Schumacher of Pinnacle Group.”

However, Nicole did not feel weirded out for being spotted. After all, she had openly invited him to a cafe, and there

was nothing shady about that.

“Oh? And, what?” She questioned with interest.

Joanna squinted her eyes and looked at the calm person in front of her. It was strange that Nicole could still remain

so calm after being caught.

Nicole noticed how Joanna looked and immediately knew what she was thinking. She chuckled.

“Director Schmidt, you must be thinking that I should panic after being caught meeting up with our competitor,

right?”

 

Nicole had spoken Joanna’s mind, saying everything she wanted to say, so she could only purse her lips and did not

make a sound as she continued to stare at Nicole.

Without missing a beat, Nicole continued, “Director Schmidt, you need to understand that I am working under F&M

Apparel and not the Gardner Corporation. It’s my personal freedom to cooperate with any companies.”

Joanna naturally knew that and retorted, “But you’re still cooperating with Gardner Corporation now. You can’t be

so half-hearted. Lisa, you’re not trying to sell your work with Gardner Corporation to Pinnacle Group, are you?”

“You’re unfairly judging me. Do you think there’s a need for me to sell it?” Nicole questioned.

“Don’t you know that Ann managed to achieve such great success because it was designed by Lisa and not

because of the cooperation between Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel?” Nicole said truthfully with a smile.

Joanna initially came to warn Nicole not to betray Gardner Corporation by threatening her. Nevertheless, she did

not expect Nicole to be so calm that it rendered Joanna speechless.

 

There was a fake smile on Joanna’s face. Since Wendy’s 18th birthday banquet, Joanna and Nicole seemed to have

a feud. Hence, there was no need for Joanna to beat around the bush.

“Good for you, then,” Joanna sneered. She suddenly stopped in her footsteps and turned to look at Nicole.

“By the way, Lisa, there’s another thing. Mrs. Gardner announced at dinner that Mr. Gardner had a child. Do you

know about this?”

Nicole raised her brows when she heard this because it was only natural for her to know about this. After all, this

story involved herself. Nevertheless, she looked at Joanna with some confusion, acting as if she didn’t know what to

say.

“What about it?”

Joanna answered gleefully, “So, now, you can’t cling to Mr. Gardner anymore. Once the child enters the Gardner

Residence, the child’s mother would naturally be brought in as well. In conclusion, you don’t stand a chance

anymore.”

As Nicole listened to Joanna’s warning, she couldn’t help but feel a little amused. Unfortunately, it seemed like

Joanna still didn’t know the child’s mother.

Although Nicole had no romantic feelings toward Colton, she spoke in a low voice to poke at Joanna, “Who knows

what will happen.”

Then, Joanna shot her one cold glance before turning around to leave.

Nicole leaned on the table as her hands laid on her chest. Although Joanna hated her, she still valued the

company’s interests.

Nicole lowered her eyes slightly; there was a calculative gleam in her eyes.

The Golden Brush Award was the top award in the global design industry. Although she had won it once before, it

would not stop her from trying to win it again. She discovered that Gardner Corporation had recommended Joanna

for the competition last year.

Regardless, Joanna was not up to par and did not even make it through the primary election.

If Nicole managed to surpass her, Joanna would go mad. How entertaining!
