Chapter 311 Wishful Thinking
Kylie noticed how Tony was speaking for Nicole without considering Kylie’s feelings. However, once they got to the topic of their company’s partnership, Kylie managed to conceal the anger on her face as she pursed her lips before speaking.
“I’m the new head designer of F&M Apparel. They wouldn’t have sent me over if our company wasn’t interested in working with you guys.”
Tony responded with a warm smile on his face. Nevertheless, his words weren’t as kind. “Miss Anderson wasn’t just the head designer of F&M Apparel. She had also won a few anonymous gold medals and was even the judge of a few large competitions. What about you?”
His words were like a stopper that had been shoved down Kylie’s throat as she didn’t know what to say after that. Previously, when Nicole was in F&M Apparel, the company had spilled all of its resources on her since she was the head designer.
As a result, the other designers had no opportunities to win any titles, even if they wanted to. It’s not that I don’t have the skills; it’s just that I didn’t get any opportunities! Kylie thought.
Joanna hastily spoke up when she saw how furious Kylie looked. “Alright, we should stop bothering you since you have so much to do, Mr. Larson. You can let us know if Miss Lisa needs anything, and I’ll get the rest of the design department to provide the necessary support.”
Tony didn’t have much to say after that, so he merely glanced at the two women before ordering the logistics department’s people to move the computer and other furniture upstairs.
Since they had been talking in a public area, all of the people from the design department had heard what they said. They now knew that the new staff member from F&M Apparel didn’t have much power over them. For the most part, the design department would still be working with Nicole.
The designing team immediately regretted sticking up for Kylie earlier. It didn’t matter if Kylie was the new head designer of F&M Apparel. What was the purpose of them sucking up to Kylie if Gardner Corporation wasn’t exactly working with her?
Kylie’s face was flushed from all the anger she felt. She had assumed she would be able to overpower Nicole after obtaining the role as the head designer of F&M Apparel.
She thought that she’d finally be able to get to a more comfortable position in life. Yet, she hadn’t expected to still be under Nicole’s control even after moving to Gardner Corporation!
Joanna hurried forward to comfort Kylie when she saw the displeased expression on Kylie’s face. “Let’s head back to the office, for now, Kylie.” Kylie understood what the other woman meant—she couldn’t lose her temper in front of the rest of the department as it would be embarrassing. So, she had no choice but to contain her rage and follow Joanna back to the office.
Meanwhile, on the highest floor in Gardner Corporation, Nicole couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard Whitney describe how Kylie had embarrassed herself.
Whitney was extremely pleased with the whole situation. “It’s a shame that you didn’t come down with us, Nicole. Daggers were shooting out of Kylie’s eyes after she heard what Mr. Larson said. I was so happy!” she cried.
“You didn’t get involved in the fight, did you?” Nicole shot Whitney a side-eye. Whitney pouted and scoffed before speaking. “Well, if you didn’t tell me not to get involved, I would have definitely stepped forward to fight them!”
When Whitney first came down with Tony, Nicole had already reminded her not to get involved. Nicole figured it was best for Whitney to observe the situation by the side.
It’s a shame that I didn’t get to go in and show off for a second. Otherwise, I’d honestly be able to get a good laugh at the dejected look on Kylie’s face, Whitney thought.
Nicole smiled when she saw the disappointed look on Whitney’s face. “There’s no rush. Kylie came to Gardner Corporation claiming that it was for F&M Apparel’s partnership with them, but the truth is that she wanted to take over Ann.
She didn’t know that I had signed an individual contract with Gardner Corporation.” Alas, Kylie’s plans had turned out to be nothing more than wishful thinking.
Since Kylie had just obtained her new role as the head designer of F&M Apparel, she naturally hoped to produce significant results in her work.
So naturally, if Kylie had taken over Ann, it would have been a perfect opportunity for her to shine. Tsk. Her perfect plan just went down the drain, Nicole thought sardonically without an ounce of pity.
