Chapter 277 I Can Handle It
Zachary’s eyes glowed with anguish as he simply said, “I just need some capital for now. I’ll repay him once the
situation improves. It’s not a big deal.”
However, Nicole immediately interrupted, “Zach, we both know exactly what kind of person James is. Don’t do
anything stupid.”
“Nicole, I…” He wanted to explain, but she cut him off again.
“I’m already aware that your father wishes to have me fired from F&M Apparel. Zach, this isn’t a big deal. You don’t
have to be at odds with your father just because of me.”
Learning that she was aware of everything, he remained silent. He couldn’t think of anything to say and could only
clutch his hands tightly.
After a long while, he finally opened his mouth. “My father has some misconceptions about you, Nicole. He would

Nicole only gave a bitter smile in response. She could tell what Zachary’s father was thinking. The Yates Family had
their own empire that could last a few generations. As a result, Zachary was expected to take over the family
business as well as marry someone who could match his status, rather than messing around with Nicole in F&M
Apparel.
“Zach, no matter what your father thinks, you should not oppose him. You’re not capable enough to do so,” she
spoke of the harsh reality.
Zachary knew that too. He was well aware that he would never be able to defeat his father and was just struggling
now to pave a way for Nicole. “I don’t want you to be hurt or upset, Nicole.”
Nicole sighed as she looked at Zachary, who was an obstinate man. He was gentle, but he was so stubborn that no
one could talk him out of what he had decided on. “My abilities wouldn’t change, Zach. Even if I’m no longer the
Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, I am still Lisa. I can live comfortably even after leaving F&M Apparel.”
However, Zachary shook his head. He wasn’t selfish in wanting Nicole by his side, but he knew his father all too well.
Since his father had decided to fire Nicole from F&M Apparel, his father would also make certain that she had no
other options.
“Nicole, you don’t know him. He won’t let you survive. If you leave F&M Apparel, I won’t be able to protect you
anymore.”
His face was filled with misery as he spoke.
Nicole noticed Zachary’s anxious demeanor and realized that things might be more complicated than she thought.
“Zach, we’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. Don’t do anything stupid,” she reminded him with sincerity.
He didn’t want her to get involved, so he planned to tell her only after everything was settled. But now that she
knew about it, he couldn’t keep it a secret any longer. “Nicole…” His eyes were filled with agony since all he wanted
was to protect her.

tired and appeared weary.
“Zach, it’s not important to me whether I am the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel or not. What matters most is that I
can continue to design,” she insisted.
Zachary looked at her as she said that. It was Nicole’s nature to shoulder everything on her own without implicating
anyone else.”
“You don’t have to be worried,” she went on.
He simply kept staring at her. After a while, he exhaled deeply and said, “Nicole, you’re always afraid of being a
burden to others.”
Yet, she shook her head. Retracting her hands, she said, “We might as well give up since we can’t beat your father
on this. Even if I don’t have the title of Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, I’m still Lisa, or Nicole as everyone knows. I
believe I can handle anything your father throws at me!”
