Chapter 384 What’s Up?
Whitney had heard of Emily’s name earlier on when she had a collaboration with Aimee International. She was a beautiful woman who seemed to have a daughter.
“In that case, why would she sue you?” Logically speaking, since Nicole was one of the backers of Aimee International, even if she committed a mistake, it could be resolved privately.
“They probably have too much free time on their hands,” said Nicole as she pouted.
In actual fact, when Nicole resigned from F&M Apparel, Emily had contacted her in hopes that she would re-join Aimee International. Although Aimee International was already doing well without Nicole, Emily still hoped that she could join them since she’d be free after she resigned. As expected, Nicole rejected the offer because she wanted to take a break from work.
However, right after Nicole rejected Emily’s offer, she joined Gardner Corporation and was in charge of Ann. When Emily found out about it, she gave Nicole a call and reprimanded her for being a traitor, and it was probably this incident that triggered Emily to sue Nicole. Even so, Nicole didn’t mind at all.
“Since I’m one of the investors of Aimee International, she won’t succeed even if she has the intention to sue me. I shall meet her after I’ve met those useless old things from Gardner Corporation.”
After listening to Nicole’s plan, Whitney wasn’t that worried anymore.
As the woman lowered her gaze and contemplated briefly, she wanted to ask Nicole about Douglas. However, she was hesitant to ask and decided not to do so after giving it some further thought. Who was she to mention Douglas? Even though Nicole and Douglas knew each other, it didn’t matter anymore.
When Nicole noticed how defeated Whitney looked, she thought that it was odd but didn’t ask her about it since she understood that everyone had their own issues to deal with.
The next afternoon, Nicole dressed up and went to Gardner Corporation. Even though no one discussed how she had been kicked out, everyone somehow heard the news about it and was surprised to see her in the company. Why would she be here when she was already kicked out?
As Nicole looked at how confused they were, she smirked and said, “I’m here today because your director wants to ask for a favor from me. I’m not that thick-skinned, you know.”
Right after that, she straightened her back and went upstairs while ignoring what the others were discussing behind her back.
At 1.00PM sharp, she entered the meeting room to find only one of the directors there. If she remembered correctly, he must be Director Kidman.
She slowly walked toward him and sat down opposite the director. Then, she glanced at him lazily and said, “Let’s get it done with. I’m very busy.”
Although Director Kidman was put in an awkward position, he was there as the representative of all the directors to ask for Nicole’s help to solve the issue with Aimee International. Initially, no one was willing to do it, but if no one stood out to ask for her help, Gardner Corporation would be losing money.
“Before this, the board of directors was displeased with the plagiarism issue and directed our anger at you. After thinking about it, we admit that it was a hasty decision. Miss Nicole, please let us know whether you have any requests, and we will do our best to fulfill them.”
After hearing that, she smirked with one hand under her chin and raised her gaze before saying, “Do you see me as a pushover?”
Director Kidman’s face was red with anger upon being provoked by Nicole’s words. She was being unforgiving even though he had lowered himself to ask her for a favor.
Once he thought of the unresolved issue, he suppressed his rage and asked softly, “Miss Nicole, do you have any requests?”
