NovelEnglishChapter 38 Stewing in Her Own Juice
Standing upright where she was, Nicole raised her pitch-black eyes and said coldly, “Firstly, as
President Gardner’s secretary, it’s wrong of you to attack me personally without discriminating between
right and wrong. Secondly, there’s no problem with my design, but you criticized it at your pleasure
despite having little understanding of it. Thirdly, it’s rude to interrupt someone when they’re speaking.”
Her voice was dignified, and her eyes showed no signs of fear.
Amber looked at the woman before her, who looked pure and pretty despite having no makeup on.
Amber wasn’t from a poor family, and she only came to work at Gardner Corporation because she had
feelings for Colton. Queenie—that b*tch—aside, now even an intern dares to have her eyes on Colton.
There’s no way I could stand this, she thought. Therefore, she mocked, getting angrier as she spoke,
“Women like you are a dime a dozen. Didn’t you sneak up here just to play up to him and create an

Nicole only found Amber unreasonable as she listened to the latter’s slanders. She knitted her brows
and uttered, “You’re nuts.”
Amber went mad upon hearing Nicole’s words. “How dare you call me nuts!” She stepped on one of
Nicole’s design drafts with her high heels right away. With her face clouded over, she uttered between
clenched teeth, “Get ready to pack up your stuff and leave!”
However, as soon as she finished her sentence, she heard a chilly voice speak from behind. “What’s
the fuss?”
Amber’s shrewish expression just now instantly vanished. At once, she softened up and looked pitifully
at the source of the voice. “President Gardner, someone here attempted to break into your office
without permission, and I stopped her. After that…” Her attitude changed as quickly as turning the page
of a book. Just a moment ago, she had been giving herself airs; now she looked like a victim with a
pitiful expression. “After that, she called me nuts.”
Speechless, Nicole stood upright while turning her gaze to Colton.
Followed by Tony from behind, the man slowly walked up to her with little change in his countenance.
On the other hand, Amber was secretly delighted. Colton hates women who throw themselves at him
more than anything else. This woman will definitely be kicked out of Gardner Corporation! she thought.
However, before she could feel smug about it, she saw Colton crouching down and picking up the
papers on the floor.
At the sight of the scene, Amber was dumbstruck. She stammered, “P-President Gardner, y-you…” Her
footprint was still on one of the papers, and it was so strongly imprinted that it couldn’t be erased at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTony crouched down beside Colton and helped pick up the design drafts. After sorting out the papers,
he held them with both hands and respectfully handed them to Nicole.
“Pack up your stuff and resign,” Colton ordered without saying anything else.
Still not coming to her senses, Amber raised her head slightly. These words aren’t supposed to be
directed at me; they’re supposed to be directed at the woman before me, she thought. “President
Gardner, this woman—”
However, Tony stopped her before she could finish her sentence, saying, “Miss Delaney, let me help
you through the resignation procedure.”
“What’s all this about? I’m not the one in the wrong here! It’s her who came here in an attempt to get
close to President Gardner, and she even scolded me!” Amber shouted angrily. She didn’t understand
why she was fired.
Tony grabbed her arm and whispered softly in her ear, “She’s Lisa.”
Amber was stunned in an instant. The woman before me is Lisa? What have I just done?
Seeing that Amber was still in a daze, Tony immediately pulled her aside.
