Chapter 395 I Hope Our Partnership Can Bring Us Success
“Yes, I did.” Nicole chuckled and nodded directly.
The next second, Kylie abruptly rose to her feet and charged at Nicole, raising her hand as she was ready to slap her in the face. However, Nicole was no pushover who was about to let others take advantage of her as she caught Kylie’s hand in the air just in time before it hit her face.
“Why are you doing this to me, Nicole?!” Kylie questioned Nicole.
Nicole looked Kylie in the eye with an indifferent expression and puckered her lips with a smile. “Why don’t you ask yourself what you did to me earlier, Kylie?”
An annoyed Kylie gritted her teeth in response. “You left F&M Apparel yourself. I didn’t make you do that, so you can’t blame that on me!”
Hearing the lady’s words made Nicole chuckle and react with a sweet smile on her face. “Kylie, get over yourself, would you? You only could be the chief designer of F&M Apparel because I left. If you had behaved yourself ever since you came to Gardner Corporation, I wouldn’t have done anything to you. So, you’re a fake hypocrite, and that’s what exactly causes your downfall.” She shook off Kylie’s hand as soon as she finished her words.
In the meantime, Kylie blanched in her face but didn’t seem to have a choice besides embracing her fate. At the same time, she could hear buzzing in her head, overwhelmed by a strong wave of dizziness. Deep down, she was picturing her pathetic ending when she returned to F&M Apparel after everyone knew she was cast away from Gardner Corporation. “No… You can’t do this to me…”
Nevertheless, Nicole took a step back and decided not to argue with Kylie any further. Instead, she turned her attention to Jaxton and said, “Alright. I suppose you won’t have any trouble handling the rest of the matters, will you, Director Kidman? I shall get going now. Once the contract with F&M Apparel has been terminated, you’ll receive some good news.” Nicole walked away upon finishing her sentence.
When Kylie saw Nicole leaving, she immediately caught up to Nicole and seized her hand, but the woman did not stop in her tracks. Instead, she ignored her and shook her hand in an unkind way.
Not long after that, Gardner Corporation paid a penalty sum to F&M Apparel as soon as it terminated the deal with the latter, whereupon Aimee International dropped the charge as promised. Then, Aimee International’s president even swung by Gardner Corporation to pay Colton a visit.
On the other hand, Colton was sitting in the president’s office and leaning on his chair in a casual manner while gazing at the gorgeous lady in front of him with a smile. “Thank you so much for your help, President Phoenix.”
Nevertheless, Emily didn’t react to the man in a friendly manner. Instead, she squinted and gave him a harsh reply. “The reason Aimee International has decided to work with your company is because we believe the potential ‘Ann’ has in penetrating the domestic market. Besides that, our company has chosen yours to work with because of one woman—Nicole Anderson.” She sized up Colton and added, “In fact, you have her to thank because it was her who persuaded me to drop the case against Gardner Corporation!”
However, Colton continued to smile without showing any signs of anger, although he didn’t seem to show any other types of emotions. Soon, he nodded and replied, “I know that. I heard Nicole is one of the shareholders of Aimee International, and I bet she must be someone who’s been through a lot with you.”
In response to his sweet-talking, Emily only grunted in a nonchalant manner. “It was obvious that someone tried to set her up this time.”
Placing his hand on the desk, he responded with a rather submissive attitude. “I’m aware of that, but you can be rest assured knowing that I took care of it, President Kidman.”
Meanwhile, Emily knew how little weight her every word carried in front of the handsome man as she kept her eyes on his good looks. Although Colton’s words sounded like a spoilsport that ruined her mood, she restrained herself from rubbing him the wrong way, knowing it wouldn’t do Nicole any good.
After all, Nicole was probably going to stay in the country, where she would likely continue working in Gardner Corporation.
At the thought of that, Emily stood up and shot a gaze at Colton before taking her eyes off him. “President Gardner, I’m going to pretend that this incident was a misunderstanding. Aimee International will continue its cooperation with Gardner Corporation. I hope our partnership can bring us success.”
