Chapter 322 Mocking
Nicole heard someone scoffing after she finished her sentence. Puzzled, she gazed at Sarah. “Nicole, you used to be poor and immature in school, but are you still trying so hard to impress now that you’re out in the workforce?” Before Nicole could say anything, Sarah began speaking to her in a sarcastic tone.
Nicole’s gaze darkened. She had always assumed that she and Sarah were friends—she hadn’t expected Sarah to treat her that way. Sarah had shot to fame after posting a song on the Internet.
Nicole was the one who had written the song in class while she was bored, and she had just hummed some random tone to go with it. After that, Sarah asked Nicole’s permission to take the song from her, and she got famous on the Internet with this very song.
A music program invited Sarah to attend a show after she rose to fame, and the program even requested to buy the copyright of the song from her. Nicole didn’t mind giving the song to Sarah as it had just been a song she wrote while she was bored.
It was this incident that shaped the person that Sarah currently was. “What do you mean by that?!”
Whitney could no longer tolerate the women’s sarcastic words. Who would like to hear such harsh comments the moment they entered the room?
“Whatever I said is what I mean,” Yvonne uttered. Her eyes twinkled with amusement as she gazed at both Nicole and Whitney. “Sarah is one of the hottest stars in the nation now.
If you guys really want to work with us, shouldn’t you be more sincere? You should send someone who can actually talk.”
“Nicole’s the one who’s in charge of Ann, so of course she has the right to come for this discussion!” Whitney shouted as she narrowed her eyes.
At that, Yvonne couldn’t stop herself from laughing out loud. She clasped her hand over her mouth as she continued speaking. “You guys shouldn’t be trying too hard.
Everyone knows that Nicole has left F&M Apparel. She’s nothing at all. Ann is a partnership between F&M Apparel and the Gardner Corporation. Who do you think you are?”
The faint smile on Nicole’s face remained on her face as she maintained a calm demeanor. She wasn’t mad at all. If anything, she seemed like she was embracing everything that was thrown to her.
“Miss Brenner,” Nicole uttered. She sounded much colder now that she was addressing Sarah in a formal tone.
“I remember the song of yours that became a hit. You told everyone that it was your song, didn’t you?” Nicole said in a slow and careful tone.
Sarah’s face paled as she spun her head to glare at Nicole. However, she calmed down after a while. “Yeah. I was the one who wrote the song and the lyrics. Are you planning on ruining my reputation?”
Nicole smiled. I’ve not seen her for a few years, and I’m surprised at how shameless she is now. She tugged her lips to form a smirk. “Fine. Since you want to lie to yourself and everyone around you, then you shouldn’t blame me for what I’m about to do.”
Sarah’s expression changed upon hearing Nicole’s words. She glared at Nicole for a long while before speaking through gritted teeth, “You’re the one who got fired from F&M Apparel because you were incapable of meeting their standards.
Why are you releasing all that anger on me? Judging by the size of my fanbase, you’d be the one who would get attacked on the Internet if you were to attempt to defame me.”
Nicole stood up. She had assumed that this would be a pleasant and fun partnership, but she just realized that it was all her own assumption.
“Miss Brenner, even though I’ve left F&M Apparel, I’m still the one in charge of Ann’s partnership with the Gardner Corporation. I’m still the founder of the brand. Right now, I’m discussing this ambassadorship with you as the founder of Ann.”
Nicole heard two women chuckling the moment she finished her sentence.
After the smile was wiped off Sarah’s face, Sarah turned to look at Nicole. “Hey, Nicole, how do you have the guts to say such things? Ann is a collaboration between the Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel.
Everyone knows that. I do want to be Ann’s ambassador, but I’ve already spoken to Director Schmidt from the Gardner Corporation about this. What right do you have to talk to me about this?”
