Chapter 103 Plan to Bring Down Nicole

Looking at Colton, Nicole knew that he had come downstairs specially to help her out of the situation, so she thanked him with her head lowered. “Thanks for your help, President Gardner.”

When Colton turned to her, his expression softened a lot; there was a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was more relaxed and not as aloof as earlier.

“You’re a guest of honor at the Gardner Corporation, Lisa, and we should have given you a great working environment. I didn’t expect to make you feel bad here.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just enough for everyone in the department to hear it, and they all knew that both this partnership and Lisa were important to Colton.

Aware that Colton was helping her to set up her dominance in front of everyone, Nicole chuckled lightly. “President Gardner, I would like to discuss some details of the partnership with you. Are you free now?”

“Yes, let’s go upstairs together.” Colton nodded, moved closer to her, and walked side by side with her.

Even though Joanna watched everything unfold in front of her without much of an expression, the anger within her was already ignited. Her eyes were red as she fixed her gaze on Nicole while she walked away and stared at Nicole so hard that it was as though her stare could pierce holes.

For so many years, she had never walked side by side with Colton and would always be a step behind him whenever they were walking together.

Initially, she thought that a bimbo like Queenie would be kicked out by Colton sooner or later, but Nicole unexpectedly showed up out of nowhere.

It was only after the both of them had disappeared from her eyesight did Joanna retract her gaze. Recollecting her emotions, she then swept her gaze through everyone in the office and said indifferently, “Bear in mind to be more careful when you’re working with Lisa, everyone.”

In response, everyone nodded and answered softly. After all, they had all witnessed what happened to Sabrina and learned a lesson from her fate.

Because of what happened earlier, the entire atmosphere in the workplace remained awkward and Joanna left the office after scanning across the room.

After immediately walking downstairs, she went out of the building, and sure enough, Sabrina was still around as she sat on a concrete flower bed. Upon seeing her, Sabrina paced to her in a hurry while calling her in an aggrieved voice, “Miss Schmidt.”

Staring at the person in front of her, Joanna sighed softly. “Why are you so silly, Sabrina?”

Sabrina’s eyes were filled with tears. She was so overwhelmed with anger that she didn’t think that much at all, but it was too late for regrets because her life was as good as ruined now.

She looked at Joanna in helplessness and sniffled. “Miss Schmidt, w-what should I do? My life is over if I can never be in the clothing industry.”

Looking back at her, Joanna patted her shoulder. “Lay low for the next few days. The company will definitely compensate you with some money after kicking you out, and you should just settle down for now. Once Nicole is toppled, I’ll help you to get back to the Gardner Corporation.”

When Sabrina heard the words ‘once Nicole is toppled’, a look of delight washed over her face, and she lifted her head at Joanna, whispering, “Do you have a plan already?”

Joanna looked at Sabrina. She actually didn’t want to be associated with people like Queenie, but since the situation had come to this, she had to do something. If she didn’t and allowed Nicole to continue as she was, it would only be a matter of time before she herself was kicked out of the company as well.

A gleeful Sabrina thought, There is basically not much problem anymore since Joanna has made a promise. Recollecting the look on her face, she said happily, “Okay. I got it, Miss Schmidt.”

“Also, don’t breathe a word about this to anyone else; otherwise, even I won’t be able to help you,” Joanna warned.”

Bobbing her head eagerly, Sabrina had a look of malice in her eyes as she gritted her teeth. “Don’t worry, Miss Schmidt. As long as I can see Nicole down and out, I don’t mind even if I can’t return to the company.”
