Chapter 376 Fire Nicole
Colton gave Nicole a look. He didn’t know what Nicole was plotting, but when he saw her confident smile, he realized that he was probably overthinking it. He leaned back in his chair slightly and nodded. “Sure,” he said.
When Nicole received Colton’s agreement, she didn’t stay there for long as she got up and left right away.
She left as quickly as she came, and some of the directors were confused. After all, Ann had so much profit to be reaped, so how could Nicole leave so easily?
As soon as the woman left, Colton’s expression turned cold as he swept an indifferent gaze at the crowd, saying in a cold voice, “Now that you have what you asked for, there are no other matters on the agenda. That will be all.”
With that, he stood up and left, expressing no respect for this bunch of directors.
Even though Tony was standing outside all this while, he could clearly hear the conversation inside. When he saw Colton walking out calmly, he asked curiously, “President Gardner, are you allowing the board of directors to fire Miss Nicole?”
Colton paused momentarily in his tracks, chuckled slightly, then continued walking forward. As he walked, he said, “She was the one who suggested it on her own accord, which means she has a plan.”
Tony couldn’t help but feel odd. Aimee International had already sent out the summons, so what else could Nicole do?
“Aren’t you worried about letting Miss Nicole handle this on her own?”
“If she can’t handle it, she’ll come to me. Since this is a good show, let’s watch it properly and see if there’s anything interesting.”
Colton was now even more curious about Nicole. Firstly, she was the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel. She was anonymous, and then she became White’s student. What other identities did Nicole possess?
…
Meanwhile, Nicole didn’t gather her things as she decided to leave just like that.
As for Whitney, she was extremely worried when Nicole returned.
“How did it go, Miss Nicole?”
“Nothing much. I just got fired.”
Nicole spoke casually as she gathered some of the tools she used regularly on her desk and stashed them in her bag.
Whitney’s expression froze, for she never thought it would be this serious.
“Are they trying to chase you out so that they can avoid taking responsibility?”
“More or less,” Nicole replied indifferently.
It was Whitney’s turn to be surprised. Nicole didn’t have much of an expression on her face, and she looked especially cold as if she didn’t feel any emotion from this incident.
“Miss Nicole…” Whitney spoke, but she didn’t know what to say.
Nicole noticed Whitney’s anxious behavior, so she decided to come clean. She reached out and patted Whitney on the shoulder as she said comfortingly, “Don’t worry, I already have a way to solve this problem. Now that I’ve resigned, I can go home and rest for a while. I’ve been working hard for days on end, so if I don’t rest up now, I might get bald.”
Whitney nodded and gathered her things as well, preparing to leave.
Nicole stopped her. “You should stay here. Don’t leave.”
Whitney was stunned as she looked at Nicole, perplexed. She had stayed in Gardner Corporation for Nicole’s sake, so now that the woman was gone, there was no reason for her to stay here anymore.
Nicole smiled and said, “I’ll be back very soon. Over the next few days, please keep an eye on Kylie while I’m gone. She probably won’t sit still.”
Whitney understood what Nicole was getting at. She nodded and replied, “Alright, but do you really have a plan, Miss Nicole?”
Getting a summons from the court wasn’t something simple. Nicole had been truly innocent previously, but she had gotten involved this time because of Whitney. If this matter wasn’t handled carefully, someone might even be sent to jail.
If that really happened, Whitney felt that she should be the one to go.
“Don’t worry, I have my own plans. Just relax and wait here for my return. I can spend more time with Hayden too.”
Nicole smiled as she spoke.
