Chapter 109 Disgusted
Joanna chuckled before she raised her voice and said, “Common enemy? I think you’re mistaken, Miss Anderson. Nicole and I are on good terms. What do you mean by enemy?” Sitting back in her seat, she slightly leaned back and looked up at Queenie.
After being in the industry for so many years, she had long been able to customize her treatment toward every person she met, and she wouldn’t easily give herself away.
“Director Schmidt, we’re all sensible people, so don’t pretend to be confused,” Queenie refuted.
She didn’t bother beating around the bush, but went straight to the point instead.
“As soon as Nicole came, she drove away your confidant, Sabrina, and humiliated her in front of so many people. Besides, you personally helped to design clothes for Wendy during every important event and birthday over the years. Now, not only are you not needed for the graduation party, but also her 18th birthday party. Can you stomach it?”
Although Joanna still appeared calm, she figured Queenie was right. She truly wasn’t satisfied!
Looking up, she cast Queenie a sweeping glance and spoke in a dull voice.
“So what? Nicole is cooperating with the Gardner Corporation on behalf of F&M Apparel, and she will go back after half a year at most. Why should I care about her?”
“If you don’t care about her, then why were you so angry earlier, Director Schmidt?” Queenie smiled. Since she couldn’t tackle Nicole alone, couldn’t she try to get herself an accomplice?
Seeing as Joanna was reluctant, Queenie immediately added, “Director Schmidt, I don’t need you to do anything. Nicole stabbed me in the back, and I will definitely get my revenge. I only need you to make it worse. I’ve already arranged everything else.”
Joanna peered at Queenie, undeniably tempted by Queenie’s suggestion. She blinked, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
She didn’t want to get involved in bad deeds like this. After all, it could be seen from Colton’s attitude that he valued Nicole a lot. It would be okay if they could tackle her with one blow, but if Nicole turned the tables, whoever was involved would probably get into trouble.
Just when the two of them were silent, the door was suddenly pushed in. “Miss Joanna!”
As soon as Wendy opened the door, she saw Queenie. She frowned, and the smile on her face immediately vanished while she asked with a hint of disgust in her tone, “Why are you here?”
Wendy didn’t have a good impression of Queenie at all because previously at the Anderson Residence, she saw Queenie and Joseph on the same bed and Anna even fell sick for a few days because of this matter.
When Queenie heard the disgust in Wendy’s tone, her expression stiffened, but she controlled her temper and answered gently, “Your 18th birthday party will be in another month, so I was thinking of asking Director Schmidt to have a custom-made dress.”
Wendy’s expression was still tense, and she didn’t look kind as she muttered in a low voice, “I don’t even want you to come.”
Queenie appeared a little upset with Wendy’s remarks, so Joanna stepped forward to mediate the situation. “All right. Wendy, it seems like you’ve become a sensation since the graduation party. Come and tell me what happened.”
When Wendy heard her mention the graduation party, she immediately became excited and tugged on Joanna as she began to talk. “Joanna, let me tell you…”
Watching the two of them engage in an exciting conversation, Queenie knew she wasn’t welcomed here, so she walked out instead of staying.
Whatever the case was, she had already said what she wanted to say just now. Judging from Joanna’s behavior earlier, it seemed like a deal had been made.
The smile on Queenie’s face grew. Now, Henry was almost done with his part, so when she leaked Nicole’s draft after he obtained it, they would be able to accuse her for plagiarism.
Plagiarism was a major crime in the design industry. Even if the person was the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, she could still be humiliated.
