Chapter 309 Moving Out
Meanwhile, Kylie was at the design department of Gardner Corporation, and she had ordered those from the logistics department to clear Nicole’s items out of the office. However, to her surprise, Tony sent a group of people downstairs to move those items up just a few minutes after she had given her orders. Kylie had just arrived and couldn’t recognize Tony, so she assumed that he was just some regular staff.
Joanna, on the other hand, was shocked when she saw Tony. They were just clearing a room out—she hadn’t expected Tony to get involved in such a thing. “We’re just moving some furniture, Mr. Larson. What are you doing here?” Joanna smiled as she asked him in a cautious tone.
Tony pressed his lips together while looking at Joanna. Then, he glanced at Kylie, who was standing right beside Joanna. “These things should be moved upstairs. President Gardner was the one who gave out the orders, so I figured that I should make sure everything goes smoothly,” he explained.
The look on Joanna’s face stiffened, and she seemed rather helpless for a moment. What does Tony mean by that? “Did you say that these things should be moved upstairs?”
A thought popped up in Joanna’s mind, but she quickly shook her head as she didn’t think that it could be possible. She forced a smile onto her face as she spoke softly. “These are all old items, Mr. Larson. If you need furniture upstairs, you can get some new ones.”
Tony couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the look on Joanna’s face. He straightened his figure and looked directly into her eyes for a moment before he spoke. “Miss Anderson said that she’s used to her old furniture, so she ordered for them to be sent upstairs. Thanks for your concern, Director Schmidt.”
Joanna’s face turned pale as she realized her predictions were correct. Her lips trembled as she articulated slowly. “Are you saying that Miss Lisa is moving upstairs?” Tony scoffed as he scanned Joanna’s figure before speaking.
“Where else do you think she can go? You chased her out of the design department, so she has to move somewhere else, right? Miss Lisa isn’t fussy, so she’s fine with working in any office. The president decided to move her to the room next to him.” Tony had been Colton’s assistant for a long time, so he knew about the drama that went on in the office.
Joanna was completely stunned. She thought that she had finally managed to chase Nicole out, but she hadn’t expected Colton to allow Nicole to move to the office beside him! Before she could say anything, Kylie started to express her dissatisfaction. “Did President Gardner misunderstand something? Nicole is just a head designer who has left her job at F&M Apparel. So, why should she remain in Gardner Apparel?”
Tony shifted his gaze toward Kylie when he heard her voice, but he only looked at her for a short while. “You must be the new person that F&M Apparel sent over, huh?”
Kylie lifted her chin to put on a proud expression when she heard Tony’s words. “That’s right. I’m the new head designer of F&M Apparel, Kylie Simmons.”
“Sure,” Tony replied before turning back to look at Joanna. “The partnership between Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel isn’t that important. Right now, Gardner Apparel’s focus is on the new brand, Ann.
The designing team should support Nicole in completing this brand’s work. Meanwhile, you can push the other unimportant matters aside.”
Kylie was confused after hearing Tony’s words. Isn’t the Ann brand supposed to be part of the partnership between F&M Apparel and Gardner Corporation? What does he mean when saying they have to work with Nicole? “Hold on. Ann should be a collaboration between Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel.
Why is Nicole in charge of this? Nicole isn’t part of F&M Apparel—I’m the one who’s in charge!” Kylie exclaimed. She had taken the role as F&M Apparel’s head designer because she wanted to work with Gardner Corporation to witness the massive success of their collaboration—Ann.
