Chapter 323 Substitute
What right do I have? I can’t believe that this girl I used to consider a friend is actually such a huge idiot! “You can continue talking to Director Schmidt about it, then. Let’s see if you’ll get this ambassadorship in the end!”
Since Ann was so famous, there were tons of celebrities who wanted to be its ambassador. Ann was one of the latest and trendiest brands in the country, so it had definitely received a lot of attention.
Furthermore, it was the recent trend to be patriotic, so it would be ideal for one to be an ambassador of a local brand.
Sarah’s expression changed when she heard how bold and confident Nicole sounded. At that moment, Sarah realized something might not be right.
However, she couldn’t take back what she said, so she had no choice but to remain firm with her stance. “I didn’t just obtain Ann’s ambassadorship; I even had an agreement with F&M Apparel to be in next season’s fashion magazine. That’s how good I am!”
Nicole smiled. Even though she was no longer working in F&M Apparel, Zachary was still here. Sarah would lose her ambassadorship if Nicole just asked Zachary for a simple favor. So, Nicole pulled her phone out and called Zachary there and then, right in front of Sarah. Nicole even turned the loudspeaker on.
Zachary answered the phone instantly when he saw that it was a call from Nicole—the phone barely had a chance to ring. “What is it, Nicole? Did something happen?” The man’s voice was gentle and caring.
Nicole questioned him in a direct manner. “Hey, Zach. Did F&M Apparel agree to have Sarah for next season’s magazine?”
“Hold on. Let me check,” Zachary uttered as the clicking sound of the keyboard sounded from the other end of the line. Soon enough, he got back to Nicole with the answer she wanted.
“Yeah. We’ve come to an agreement, but we haven’t signed the final contract. It’s just the last step left now. I heard that someone from F&M Apparel might be coming to sign the agreement tomorrow.”
Nicole smiled as she looked Sarah in the eyes. “In that case, would it be okay if you guys don’t sign it?” she asked slowly. Zachary responded without even questioning Nicole. “Of course. I’ll immediately tell them to burn the contract.”
“Thanks, Zach.” Nicole ended the call after that. Both Sarah and Yvonne’s faces turned pale instantly. Yvonne was the first to return to her senses, and she tugged on Sarah’s arm while comforting Sarah. “Don’t listen to her, Sarah.
Who does she think she is? She’s no longer F&M Apparel’s head designer, yet she’s here acting as if she’s the boss.” Yvonne let out a small scoff after finishing her words. “I bet she called someone to act as President Yates. She couldn’t even do better than that.”
Yvonne’s words seemed to make sense to Sarah, so the latter started to calm down a little. She lifted her head in an arrogant manner as she shot Nicole a disdainful gaze.
“Nicole, I thought you would’ve grown up a little after being in society for so many years. Are you still here playing these games? What is this? Do you find satisfaction through playing bluff?”
Nicole laughed without responding to them. “Let’s go, Whitney. I guess today is just a waste of time!” Then, she turned around to leave. Right then, Sarah’s phone began to ring. It was a call from her manager, and she hastily picked it up. “Is anything the matter?” she asked in a quiet voice.
Everyone in the room could hear the person shouting on the other end of the line, even though Sarah’s loudspeaker wasn’t on. “What did you do?! Someone from F&M Apparel just called to tell me that you’ve been substituted!”
Nicole’s footsteps came to a halt. Truth was, she hadn’t expected Zachary to be so efficient. She let out a light scoff as she turned around to look at Sarah’s pale face. In the end, Nicole gave Sarah a mocking look before she turned to walk out of the door with a cocky strut.
